Prince Harry Fails to Slay the Media Dragon, On the Hook for £750k
King Charles supports the Catherine, The Princess of Wales, by announcing his own medical news
Prince Harry is not the brightest bulb in the box, and this time it will cost him nearly a $1 million.
The hapless prince decided that he wanted to sue the Daily Mail for publishing a story about his allegedly secret attempts to secure Met Police protection for himself and his family whenever he is in the U.K. But the case went completely off the rails when the court set a deadline for something rather critical.
Evidence.
As it turns out, Prince Harry had none or perhaps his “evidence” even confirmed that he wanted this attempt kept secret in the first place, which completely negated his case. This catastrophically stupid blunder will likely cost him nearly a million dollars, or £750,000.
What perhaps is worst for Prince Harry is the “acute embarrassment” he’ll face from this loss, as The Times so cleverly puts it.
As it turns out, just a month ago Harry came out with a rather grandiose statement about an earlier supposed triumph against the media, over tactics that haven’t been used in 10-15 years and to which the publications involved had already apologized for making the entire endeavor on Harry’s end pointless.
His lawyer David Sherborne said on his behalf, “Today’s ruling is vindicating and affirming. I’ve been told that slaying dragons will get you burned, but in light of today’s victory and the importance of doing what is needed for a free and honest press, it is a worthwhile price to pay. The mission continues.”
How’s that working out for you, Harry?
In light of the outcome of this latest Daily Mail case, he honestly looks like a bit of a delusional idiot. He believes he’s “slaying dragons” when all he is really doing is filling the coffers of his lawyers. They indulge his stupidity because it makes them millions, as he’s entirely on the hook for their £500,000 bill, which is allegedly half of what the Daily Mail’s reported for their part.
And yet he’ll continue these meaningless crusades until the cows come home under the misconception it’ll make the news media better for himself but especially his wife Meghan Markle, who apparently has an exceptionally fragile ego.
Throughout all these lawsuits, not one sterling pound he has paid has made his press coverage better. In fact, it has made it worse, especially when combined with the equally ludicrous truth in media campaign propagated by Harry and Meghan’s favorite reporter Omid Scobie, who has been caught in numerous lies.
If Harry really wants to change his press coverage and “slay dragons,” then he should make amends with his family and drop these never-ending ego driven crusades because, at the end of the day if this continues, the only thing he’ll be “burning” is his money.
King Charles Support for Catherine…
There’s a lot of love between King Charles and his daughter-in-law, Catherine, The Princess of Wales. This is evident by his decision to announce his own medical procedure for an enlarged prostate about an hour or two after the Princess revealed her own abdominal surgery.
It is rare for a royal to announce a medical procedure a week before it is set to happen, and his statement had a duel purpose. It raised the profile of the procedure, a common issue for many men, while also taking some of the heat off of Catherine. It was a sweet and rather selfless effort to mitigate some of the media frenzy regarding her hospitalization.
It also proves another thing as well. The royals, when they work together and love and support one another, can keep each other’s confidences. Unlike the negative narratives Harry and Meghan constantly propagate, there is a lot of support within the family for those who ask for it and seek it out.
