Private messages exchanged between Prince Harry and a journalist more than a decade ago have resurfaced in court, revealing a series of informal and flirty conversations that are now part of his ongoing legal battle against Associated Newspapers.The messages, presented during closing arguments in the Duke of Sussexs lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, were exchanged between December 2011 and January 2012 with then-Mail on Sunday journalist Charlotte Griffiths.Its H,incase u were confused by name and picture!!! X, Harry wrote in one message dated December 4, 2011.What a fun weekend of naughtiness, cant we all get up to no good in the countryside every weeked damn it?? Smooches, Griffiths replied.
In the exchanges, Griffiths referred to Harry as Mr. Mischief, while the prince joked about attending formal events, saying he had to make polite conversation with strange people at a dinner while begging them for money for charity.In a later message dated January 22, 2012, Griffiths wrote, I WISH I was there sugar but unfortunately stuck in Cornwall doing Army stuff, to which Harry responded in part, Otherwise I would have been there playing and then drinking u under the table,obvi!!He added, Just wish I could have been thereespecially now that youre there!

He later met Meghan Markle in 2016, and the couple married in 2018.The resurfacing of the messages comes as part of Harrys lawsuit, launched in October 2022, in which he accuses Associated Newspapers of unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking and other privacy breaches between 1993 and 2011.
Associated Newspapers has denied the allegations and suggested that some information may have come from individuals within Harrys social circle. In a witness statement, Griffiths said, We were all the same age and going to the same places in London at night so knew each other socially for a time.She added, My friends, including the group that introduced me to Prince Harry, knew that I was a journalist and had gone to work for Katie Nicholl at the Mail on Sunday. The trial concluded on Tuesday, March 31, with a judge yet to deliver a verdict.The post Prince Harrys flirty texts to journalist about movie snuggles exposed at privacy trial appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
