The Duke of Sussex sat down for a new interview with ITV for the documentary ‘Tabloids on Trial’<\/p>\n

Prince Harry<\/a>‘s mission to hold tabloids accountable differs from the approach taken by the royal family, which he says played a major role in their ongoing rift.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Duke of Sussex, 39,\u00a0sat down for a new interview for ITV’s documentary\u00a0<\/a>Tabloids on Trial<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>premiering on Thursday, July 25. In a\u00a0preview<\/a>\u00a0released a day before the airing, Harry discussed his reasons for publicly pursuing\u00a0lawsuits against publications over allegations of phone hacking and other unlawful acts<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a contrast from his brother,\u00a0Prince William<\/a>, who reportedly\u00a0quietly received a “very large sum of money” in a settlement<\/a>\u00a0from News Group Newspapers (NGN) in 2020 amid a claimed “secret agreement” with the royals.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

ITV’s Rebecca Barry asked Prince Harry in the clip, “To what extent do you think your determination to fight the tabloids destroyed the relationship with your family?”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“I think that’s certainly a central piece to it,” the Duke of Sussex replied. “That’s a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“I’ve made it very clear that this is something that needs to be done. It would be nice if we did it as a family,” he continued. “I believe that, again, from a service standpoint and when you’re in a public role, that these are the things that we should be doing for the greater good. But I’m doing this for my reasons.”<\/p>\n
