Breaking News: prince Harry it dangerous and desperate to be on the throne but face competition from……. read more

Prince Harry has said “it’s still dangerous” for his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to return to the UK.

In the Duke of Sussex’s first major interview since the conclusion of his court case against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), he said he feared an attack on his wife if she returned to the UK due to the attention the royal couple attract.

When asked during the ITV documentary Tabloids On Trial whether the legal battles attract more attention, Harry said: “There is more than enough attention on me and my wife (Meghan) anyway.”

“They pushed me too far,” he added.

“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 of genuine concern for me.

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

Harry also blamed his fight against the press as “central” in destroying his relationship with his family.

When asked about his family’s “decision not to fight” the press in the way that Harry has, he said: “I think everything that’s played out has shown people what the truth of the matter is.

“For me, the mission continues, but it has, yes, it’s caused, as you say, part of a rift.”

The duke was also asked about claiming in a High Court filing that Queen Elizabeth II “supported” his actions against News Group Newspapers (NGN) – publisher of The Sun and the now defunct News Of The World.

Harry said: “I wish… we had many conversations before she passed, and this is very much something that she supported.

“She knew how much this meant to me and… she’s very much out there, going to see this through to the end, without question.”

In a witness statement, he had claimed the late monarch had wanted the media mogul Rupert Murdoch to “apologise”.

Harry is bringing a case against NGN over alleged unlawful information-gathering, but not allegations of phone hacking, with a full trial due to be held in January.
