Prince Harry's Shocking Revelation About Caroline Flack Sparks Outrage

During his second day of testimony in his phone hacking lawsuit, Prince Harry accused the Mirror Group Newspapers of unlawfully obtaining images of himself and his associates. In his written statement, he cited an example involving his friendship with Caroline Flack, who passed away in 2020. Harry revealed that he and Flack had attended multiple social events together since 2009, and that The People had published photos of them in April of that year, claiming that Harry had left helicopter training to spend time with her. The article also alleged that the pair had left the house after midnight and looked happy together, based on the account of an onlooker.

The article and accompanying photographs left a lasting impression on me. I was taken aback and filled with anger when I discovered that the two photographers from IKON Pictures were already at the location, waiting for us to arrive. To my dismay, they had even hidden underneath a car. Over time, I became increasingly wary of these photographers due to their involvement in several questionable and potentially hazardous situations. The photographs in question were taken outside my friend Mark Dyer's apartment, where I had invited Flack to join us for a game of poker.

Caroline and Harry had been in communication for a few weeks before their planned meeting at Marko's. Due to Caroline's constant attention from the media, they had hoped for a low-key and private gathering. This was only their second face-to-face encounter, and the plans had only been discussed between Marko, Caroline, and Harry through voicemails. Harry was confident that he had not been followed during his journey from Lincolnshire, as he had taken precautions to ensure their privacy. Despite this, Harry became suspicious of a potential leak to the press as only the three of them were aware of the plans and he had not disclosed them to anyone else. This suspicion left him feeling angry and frustrated.

Prince Harry, an alumnus of Eton College and husband to Meghan Markle, admitted to losing faith in Flack and Dyer's ability to keep their evening plans confidential. This led to a period of not speaking to Dyer, even with his brother Prince William. Harry shared his confusion as to how the media was able to obtain information about their private meetings and even locate photographers outside Dyer's apartment. He now believes that the source of this information was from their voicemails, causing him to doubt even those he trusted the most and highlighting the harmful impact of such stories on his relationships.

Harry and the late Love Island host had a brief connection in 2009, but due to the intense media attention, they never pursued a serious relationship. In his debut memoir, Harry revealed that he continued to see Flack on and off, but the constant scrutiny took its toll on their relationship. Despite enjoying each other's company, they eventually realized it wasn't worth the emotional distress and harassment, especially for Flack's family. They said their goodbyes and wished each other good luck.

Harry's lawsuit against the Mirror Group Newspapers, publishers of newspapers such as The Mirror, commenced on June 5th. The allegations state that the organization hacked his phone to obtain information, which they have denied. Although not present for opening statements, Harry's attorney David Sherborne informed the judge that Harry was en route from Los Angeles to London after spending time celebrating his daughter Princess Lilibet's second birthday on June 4th. Harry and Meghan Markle, the Suits alum, share two children, including their son Prince Archie who is four years old.
