suffered ‘big bouts of depression, paranoia’: What Prince Harry told the court | World news
Prince Harry told the court he suffered “extreme depression and paranoia” as a result of the news intrusion as the Duke of Sussex sued the Mirror Newspaper Group (MGN) over the collection of wrongful information by journalists. The court was told that Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy decided “the royal life is not for her” as a result of the alleged activities of MGN journalists.
The lawyer of Prince Harry- David Sherborne- said, “He immediately became suspicious of anyone mentioned in the stories about him and felt that he could not trust anyone, especially at such an age. It also caused huge challenges in his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy, and made him fear for her and her safety.”
“Whenever there is a relationship, or even an alleged relationship, that person’s entire family, and often their friends, are ‘dragged into the chaos’ and will find themselves the subject of activities wrong on the part of MGN. Nowhere is it ‘off the border’ for MGN newspapers, whose journalists will even manage to book into a hotel in Bazaruto, a small island off the coast of Mozambique, when the Duke of Sussex and Ms Davy tried to escape there and enjoy some. peace and quiet,” the court was told.
“They have never committed to each other, which ‘puts a huge amount of stress and unnecessary stress’ on their relationship. Ultimately, MGN’s activities led Ms Davy to decide that “royal life was not for her”, which was “incredibly upsetting” for the Duke of Sussex at the time. They also had fewer friends, meaning friendships were completely lost, leading to ‘great depression and sadness’, the court heard.
