Prince Harry has insisted he enjoys “a lot of support from the British public,” just days after meeting King Charles for the first time in 19 months.
The Duke of Sussex, 41, made the remark in a candid interview with The Guardian during his visit to war-torn Ukraine on Tuesday, where he reflected on the intense scrutiny he has faced since leaving the UK in 2020.
Pushback Against Negative Press
Harry has been a frequent target of criticism, particularly after publishing his memoir Spare in 2023, which included revelations about family rifts, personal struggles, and accusations against Queen Camilla of leaking stories to the press.
Despite the backlash, Harry argued there is a clear divide between what the press writes and how the public truly views him. “Even now, when I feel like I have been destroyed by certain members of the British press, I feel endorsed by the UK people,” he said.
Battle With the Media
Harry is currently suing Associated Newspapers, publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, alongside campaigner Doreen Lawrence and singer Elton John. The trial is scheduled to begin in January.
