As Prince Harry took the stand in London’s High Court on Tuesday, his witness statement, spanning 55 pages and consisting of 25,538 words, was made public.

This statement holds crucial evidence that the royal is utilizing in his phone hacking case against the publishers of the Daily Mirror, specifically related to 33 articles.

However, upon examination, it becomes apparent that Harry’s witness statement includes the full date of his own birth, but only the month and year of his children’s births, the month and year of his wedding, and merely the year he met Meghan.

This omission immediately caught the attention of the judge presiding over the case, raising a series of probing questions.

Why would Prince Harry exclude the complete dates of his children’s births?

Is it possible that the actual dates were never disclosed truthfully?

If not, then why not proudly include the supposed dates that the Sussexes celebrate as their children’s birthdays in the witness statement?

Furthermore, the absence of his actual wedding date raises suspicion.

Could this be due to Meghan’s claim that they had secretly married days earlier in the garden?

Was Prince Harry reluctant to contradict her assertion?

Additionally, he cannot even recall the month he first met Meghan, let alone the specific day.

Under oath, the judge inquired about the dates of his children’s births, but Prince Harry refused to provide full details, citing the need for truthfulness in his witness statement under penalty of perjury.

He finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place.

By withholding additional information, Prince Harry seems to be concealing questionable aspects, as divulging more details would only shed light on his potential lies.

The witness statement conspicuously lacks the dates of significant life events that have faced scrutiny and contradiction.

It is evident that Prince Harry does not wish to commit perjury by including false birth dates for his children in official court documents.

Perhaps he simply cannot recall the exact dates with certainty and prefers to avoid inadvertently perjuring himself if lawyers were to scrutinize the details.

It remains unknown how Meghan or others may have filled in these memory gaps for him.

On the second and final day of giving evidence, the Duke of Sussex returned to court.

Just before 10.30 am, he entered the witness box, performing a small neck roll and taking a sip of water to prepare for the challenging ordeal ahead.

It almost seemed as though he had been instructed overnight to respond to questions with a simple “yes” or “no” and to adhere strictly to the prepared script.

In his witness statement, Prince Harry grandly portrayed himself as a defender of journalism and its important values.

Discovering that this champion of morality was driven even slightly by less noble motives would be devastating.

However, despite his newfound focus, it did not take long for the prince to veer off course, answering the questions in his mind rather than those posed to him and seizing every opportunity to elaborate on his general grievances to the judge.

Repeatedly, we caught a glimpse of the unique challenges faced by the young prince in his sheltered life, an existence that sounded miserable, burdened by suspicion and privilege.

He approached everyone with caution, surrounded by individuals he referred to as “my security,” “my point person,” and even “my police.”
