ITV viewers switch off Prince Harry's interview after same complaint | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV




Prince Harry received a settlement of £140,000 after a High Court Judge ruled that "unlawful methods" had been used to collect evidence on him for tabloid stories.

It was ruled that 15 out of 30 stories about him by Mirror Newspaper Group (MGN) were a result of "invasions into his privacy". However, viewers found themselves switching off when tonight's Tabloids on Trial documentary saw Harry complain about being under "constant surveillance" in his younger years. He told ITV reporter Rebecca Barry: "It sucks being that young and being under constant surveillance."

Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are now residents in the USA having stepped down from their senior royal duties in 2020. However, it seemed that, post-trial, some viewers were growing tired of Harry's story, as some viewers admittedly refused to tune in to his latest TV interview.

"I couldn’t stand it! Complete switch off," one groaned on Twitter. "No one should watch it," echoed a second.

As Harry went on to say that his war with the press was a "central piece" in his rift with other members of the royal family, a third also hit the off button, declaring: "Wouldn't dream of watching #itv."

Another tweeted: " Didn't watch the last one and won't be watching this one and others to come." A fifth added: "I'm not watching it."

However, he did receive some sympathy from royal fans following his concerns with the media.

One wrote: "As Prince Harry said, it's a David and Goliath feat, fighting these media moguls; only a - strong - few can see it through. Prince Harry is a Hero!"

Another added: "Massive kudos to Harry for this!"

The Prince continued on the show that one headline, claiming that his then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy was planning to "dump him", was "not in the public interest in any way whatsoever".

He also addressed moments when his late mother Princess Diana had become the victim of possible hacking scandals.
