Harry tells ITV late Queen supported his tabloid battle

The Duke of Sussex was speaking to ITV’s Tabloids on Trial about how his determination to fight the press became a “central piece” in destroying his relationship with the royal family.

But Harry revealed he had many private conversations with his grandmother the Queen about his battle with the press.

He told ITV: “We had many conversations before she passed. This is very much something she supported.”

Pointing to the sky, he said: “She knew how much this meant to me and she’s very much up there going, ‘See this through to the end’, without question.”

Earlier in the programme, Prince Harry claimed he “will not” bring his wife, Meghan Markle, back to the UK over fears for both their safety after a plethora of negative stories.

Asked if he’s just seeking attention through the court battles, he said: “There is more than enough attention on me and my wife anyway.

“There was... they pushed me too far. It got to a point where you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t.

“I don’t think there’s anybody else in the world that is better suited and placed to be able to see this through than myself.

“It’s still dangerous. And all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff, to act on what they have read...

“And whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is.

“And these are things that are a genuine concern for me.

“It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”
