In a remarkably forthright and wide-ranging interview, the Duke of Sussex has declared his 'conscience is clear' regarding his decisions, from serving on the front lines in Ukraine to stepping back from royal duties and his ongoing war with the British media.
The Prince spoke at length about the profound personal cost of his legal battles against newspaper publishers, labelling the process a 'draining' and 'lonely' experience. He revealed the immense emotional toll of confronting the 'relentless propaganda and lies' published about him and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.
A Family Divided
Addressing the deep and persistent rift within the Royal Family, Prince Harry suggested that reconciliation would require 'a lot of time, energy, and work'. He expressed a complex mix of emotions towards his father, King Charles, and his brother, the Prince of Wales, indicating that while there is love, the path to healing remains long and uncertain.
Service and Sacrifice in Ukraine
Reflecting on his two undisclosed trips to Ukraine following the Russian invasion, Harry was resolute. He stated that his military experience and his role as a father compelled him to offer support, focusing on the wellbeing of children and families affected by the conflict. His work there was separate from his official Invictus Games duties, underscoring a personal commitment to the cause.
The Unending Battle with the Press
The core of the interview centred on his mission to reform the British media landscape. Having won a landmark case against Mirror Group Newspapers for illegal information gathering, Harry is now pursuing other cases. He framed his fight not as a personal vendetta, but as a 'principled stand' for truth and accountability, vowing to continue despite the personal exhaustion it brings.
He concluded by stating that his actions, though controversial to some, have always been guided by a desire to protect his family and uphold his principles, leaving him with a clear conscience about the choices he has made.
