Leaked details from his book Spare,
first revealed in an impressive scoop for The Guardian, show that Harry has opened the lid on numerous private conversations with close family members. He’s also written in depth about everything from his health and drug taking to how he lost his virginity.
It all leaves very little off-limits when it comes to future press coverage of Harry’s private life.
The royal appears to believe that only one version of his life should enter the public record, his own. But journalists can’t just be stenographers for Harry and
Meghan. They have to hold the claims made by celebrities up to scrutiny.
One of the big factors judges take into account when assessing privacy claims is the extent to which claimants have put matters into the public domain themselves.
One former tabloid executive told Press Gazette: “You can’t write about losing your virginity and in the next breath complain about lack of privacy. Suspect a) paps will now be a regular fixture again wherever he goes and b) UK pix desks will start buying and publishing safe in the knowledge he won’t be able to claim privacy.”
