The prince added that the late Queen is backing his tabloid fight “up there”. He said he had many discussions with the late monarch about press intrusion and that she supported the action he is taking against it.

‘Zero chance’ Meghan Markle will miss UK Invictus Games
But one expert believes that an exception will be made for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham.
“There’s zero chance of Meghan missing the Invictus Games,” royal author Christopher Andersen told Fox News.
“I guess that she will be there, briefly, but without [their children] Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan and Harry’s security concerns are legitimate, but the rest of the royal family doesn’t see it that way. Neither do the British courts.”
“The feeling in the UK is that the Sussexes are no longer working royals, and therefore are not entitled to state-funded police protection.”

GoFundMe launched to support Thomas Markle
Created by Lady Colin Campbell, the fundraiser praises Thomas Markle’s “kindness and generosity” and said it aims to show him “that there are still people in the world with good hearts, good values, and good intentions” after he was “rejected and abandoned” by his daughter.
Thomas, who turned 80, this month, became estranged from Meghan around the time of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry after it emerged that he had taken part in a staged paparazzi photoshoot.
The fundraiser was created with a £10,000 target, but it has already exceeded this amount and raised over £39,000 from over 2,000 donors.
“My father is gone from this earth and I wish I could give him a hug,” wrote one supporter.
“I want to give it to you and just know that you have daughters around the world now. You are loved.”

Meghan Markle ‘likely’ to miss UK Invictus Games
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “Unless this is resolved and Harry gets the guaranteed police protection he feels he needs for himself and his family – a demand that I have some sympathy with, I can’t see him bringing Meghan and the children here.
“The security issue always provides a credible excuse for Meghan and the children not coming to the UK.
“Personally, I don’t think she ever wants to come here again, but I think she will be acutely aware that her absence at something like the Invictus Games – her husband’s greatest achievement – would signal more than a concern about safety.”

The Duke of Sussex appeared to be flustered when he was asked about Princess Kate and King Charles’s cancer battles in a new documentary.
In Tabloids on Trial, ITV New’s Rebecca Barry asked the prince: “Both your father and your sister-in-law have been unwell.
“It’s a reminder, I guess, to all of us that life is precious.
“Does it ever just make you think, ‘This is not worth it. Life is just too short for these legal battles’?”
Prince Harry, appeared shocked by the question, he replied: “Erm, I don’t think the legal, the continuation of these legal battles is the sort of, I…
“The two things are completely separate.
“Erm, you know, my father and my sister-in-law, and me, you know, following through on these legal battles are two completely different things.”
