LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a historic event, Prince Harry testified in court and attacked the government, labeling it ‘rock bottom.’ In his statement, he also talked about the rumors that Princess Diana’s lover James Hewitt was his father. The royal in the process also became the first British royal who testified in open court since 1891.
Prince Harry's statement alleged that he and his mother Princess Diana were both hacked in the past, including family, friends, and royal aides. “His 25,538-word statement contains five mentions of his wife, Meghan, and 118 mentions of his first serious girlfriend Chelsy Davy. He blames the press attention for Miss Davy dumping him, saying that ultimately she 'made the decision that a royal life was not for her, which was incredibly upsetting for me at the time,” reported Daily Mail.
'Hugely relieved'
Prince Harry alleged that the Mirror, which continued up the Sun’s story, must have used a hacking method since they reported his girlfriend Chelsea Davy ‘was furious and had given me a 'tongue-lashing down the phone' following allegations that I had been flirting with a brunette at the party'. The royal said: 'How could the Defendant's journalists know about this?' On another account, Harry was questioned on a Mirror article titled "Harry's cocaine, ecstasy and GHB parties," where his father Charles was referred to as 'worried sick' but later 'hugely relieved' after Harry told that he only used cannabis.
Harry was then asked about whether his own drug use, an illegal act, was in any way in the public interest when he was a teenager and third in line to the throne (presently he's fifth). The royal said, "There's a difference between public interest - and what interests the public."
'Prince Harry reached UK on June 5'
The Duke of Sussex flew into the UK from California on Monday, June 5, and seemed to be relaxed and was spooted smiling while entering the High Court's modern annexe - the Rolls Building.
Meanwhile, The Mirror's KC Andrew Green said it was 'absolutely extraordinary' that Harry was 'not available for day one of his trial'. Justice Fancourt said he was 'a little surprised' that Harry was not there, and warned Sherborne for causing 'timetable chaos'.
His ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy is presently married to her longtime boyfriend Sa Cutmore-Scott and became a mother last year. She runs a jewelry organization inspired by African art.
