1. Hacking Harry
Manage episode 353164084 series 3439880
The origin story of the troubled relationship between Prince Harry and the papers. In October 2019, Harry announced he was suing two of Britain’s biggest newspaper groups, alleging unlawful information gathering and a breach of privacy. Why is he taking them on? BBC Media Editor Amol Rajan talks to a private investigator and hears about the intrusive tactics that were the background noise to Prince Harry’s youth, casting a cloud over his mental health and so many of his relationships. This five part series asks you to question what you think about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Why did the coverage of Meghan Markle turn so sour, so quickly? Why did the story turn from the fairy tale wedding of a prince and his new type of princess, to a tale of so-called duelling duchesses? Amol hears from the people who wrote this very modern drama: the reporters, columnists and broadcasters who shape public opinion on royalty. Allegations of sexism, racism and strategic leaks – he examines them all.
