Prince Harry’s victory against News Group Newspapers has one expert wondering why he is “lumping” all journalists in with those who have just received demands to open a criminal investigation against them.
the accusation and response were issued by royal commentator Camilla Tominey.
She shared it all in a piece for The telegraph and it began with her pointing out how, “After saying he would ‘never settle’ this seven-year legal battle – Harry has now got what he always wanted – an apology not only for the distress he It was caused by these abominable practices, but also the negative impact they had on the life of his late mother. Fair play to him.
But “where I disagree with Prince Harry is his repeated attempts to put all of the media in the same basket,” she admitted.
“At times, unable even to distinguish between real reporting and social media trolling, he repeatedly attempted to undermine the official royal press kit with unsubstantiated allegations of ‘vendetta’ against him and Meghan and colluding with the palace.”
With this in mind, as Ms. Tominey admits, “Prince Harry has the right to criticize journalists who get it wrong.”
Because “in effect, he has recourse to the Independent Press Standards Organization and, as we have seen with his multiple trials, to the law”.
But “it rather goes against its self-proclaimed status as a bastion of truth to object to stories, legally and legitimately obtained, that actually get it right,” she noted before signing off.
