Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s biographer, Omid Scobie, has accused the British media of harassing him and his family with “fake gossip”.

The journalist took to Twitter over the weekend to hit back at publications that have recently written about his career. His remarks came over a week after he told the High Court that he was taught how to hack voicemail messages while working at The Sunday People, a British tabloid acquired by Mirror. Scobie’s statement was part of the phone hacking case brought by a number of high-profile individuals, including the Duke of Sussex, against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN).
