Prince Harry’s High Court testimony has revealed a disturbing side to the tabloids that reads more like a spy thriller than journalism.
He described Email on Sunday, journalists showed up in remote corners of Africa where no one could know he was.
These journalists were not just covering the events, they were following him and tracking his every move.
Caroline Graham particularly stands out. She would have been part of the Mail surveillance team in Africa and is now the confidant of Thomas Markle, Meghan’s estranged father.
She went from following the Duke on river banks and hospital visits to eliciting personal details from those closest to Meghan.
If the tabloids can’t get the information from their primary target, they find someone around them who will. It is a strategy designed to gain information and influence the narrative.
The same person who appeared uninvited in the wild is now found in family homes under the guise of friendship. Monitoring feels like trust and closeness feels like caring. The effect is deeply disturbing.
Harry’s own words “full-blown harassment and constant surveillance” say it all.
These journalists don’t just report, they sneak in, get up close and become part of the story.
Caroline Graham’s journey, from following Harry to Africa to sitting at Thomas Markle’s bedside, shows exactly how the tabloids play the long game.
Royal fans called the situation scary, noting that Harry seems to be attracting unusual attention from female admirers.
Others pointed out that unlike Prince William, he never married any of them.
