Five times Harry invaded other people’s privacy

‘It never needed to be this way,’ sighs Prince Harry in the trailer for his forthcoming ITV interview: ‘the leaking and the planting… I want a family not an institution.’ The Duke has long-despised the meddling machinations of Fleet Street’s finest, telling Andrew Marr in 2016 that:

Everyone has a right to privacy. Sadly that line between public and private life is almost non-existent any more. We will continue to do our best to ensure that there is the line… Everyone has a right to their privacy, and a lot of the members of the public get it, but sadly in some areas there is this incessant need to find out every little bit of detail about what goes on behind the scenes. It’s unnecessary.

Now with the release of his long-awaited memoir, we can see the cause of his frustration. How dare the press leak, intrude and breach privacy – don’t they know that’s Harry’s job? The book’s launch proves that the royal recluse has learned a thing or two about the media’s tastes from three decades in the public eye, detailing everything from Jilly Cooper-esque romps in Windsor fields to Stallone-style killing sprees from Apache helicopters.
