Prince Harry is once again in the news, but this time it is not just about his court case. Old private messages have become public, and they are now generating new buzz about his personal life. During a recent court hearing involving his legal battle against Associated Newspapers, a set of Facebook messages between the Duke of Sussex and a journalist were shown. These chats date from late 2011 to early 2012, long before he met Meghan Markle. Still, the tone of the messages has caught people’s attention and now reports say Meghan Markle is not happy about it.The issue came to light during the ongoing case where Prince Harry and other public figures have accused Associated Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, of using illegal methods to gather information. According to court details reported by People, the messages were part of the discussion. Soon after, reactions began pouring in online, including from pop culture commentator Perez Hilton.

The messages were exchanged between Prince Harry and Charlotte Griffiths, who works for the Mail on Sunday. At that time Prince Harry did not know that he was a journalist. The chat included friendly and slightly flirty lines, where they talked about reuniting and shared light personal moments.Responding to this, Perez Hilton wrote in her blog on April 2 that these messages could affect how people view Duke on the court. He shared excerpts from the chat and said:“In chat the pals reminisce about ‘a fun weekend of naughtiness’. Harry also complains about doing charity work and says he misses the two of them having ‘movie snuggles,’ calling Charlotte ‘sugar.’ Oh, boy! … Not only are his flirty texts a little awkward to look at, but they could ruin his time in court.The timing of these messages has become significant as they are now part of a serious legal battle. Prince Harry’s lawyer, David Sherborne, argued in court that the stories published about him came about illegally. However, Associated Newspapers has denied all claims.

Meghan thinks it’s embarrassing and disappointing.”At the same time, Prince Harry has already talked about his relationship with Charlotte Griffiths in court. According to People, he said he met her at a party hosted by his friend Arthur Landon. Once he found out she was a journalist, he said he cut off contact and even questioned how the situation happened.The trial at the High Court in London lasted 10 weeks and ended on 31 March.
