Prince Harry gave testimony in his privacy case against Associated Newspapers in a London court on Wednesday, January 21, sharing that stories in the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday impacted his romantic relationships. The Duke of Sussex admitted that press intrusion led to the decline of his long-term relationship with Chelsy Davy, alleging that Associated Newspapers used illegal tactics such as phone hacking to obtain information on his ex-girlfriend.

In his witness statement, the duke wrote that since Davy lived in South Africa, the majority of their communication was either by phone or text. "We, naturally, spoke about all types of personal matters, including all aspects of our relationship," he shared, adding, "As she was my girlfriend, I trusted Chelsy with the most private of information and vice versa."
