Prince Harry Responds to Tabloid Accusations: Meghan Markle’s Innocence Proven

Almost five years after their wedding, Prince Harry has finally decided to publicly address the British tabloids’ accusations against his wife, Meghan Markle.

The tabloids had accused Meghan of attempting to harm Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

The controversy arose from the fact that Princess Charlotte wore a wreath of lilies of the valley on her head during the wedding ceremony, with the same flowers also present in the bouquets held by the young princess and other flower girls.

The media sensationalized this seemingly innocent choice of flowers, as lilies of the valley are known to be poisonous, with every part of the plant containing the toxin.

Catchy headlines accompanied by provocative images were deliberately used by journalists to manipulate readers’ emotions.

By juxtaposing photos of Charlotte with a twisted face alongside a happy Meghan, the bride was portrayed as indifferent to the well-being of the young princess.

This manipulation of public sentiment greatly angered Prince Harry and Meghan, leading them to file a lawsuit against the British press.

In his memoir, Prince Harry provided further insight into the situation, explaining that the use of lilies of the valley at royal weddings has been a longstanding tradition followed by both Kate Middleton and his late mother, Princess Diana.

Furthermore, he emphasized that the plants only pose a danger if ingested, with the scent of the flowers being harmless.

Aside from the controversy surrounding the flowers, another reason for the Sussex couple’s legal action was the publication of Meghan’s personal handwritten letter to her father, Thomas Markle.

The trial concluded in early 2022, ruling in favor of the Duchess of Sussex.

As compensation, she received a symbolic one-pound sterling from the newspaper involved in the publication.

Meghan expressed her belief that this victory serves as a precedent for reforming the tabloid press industry.
