Prince Harry's trial took a surprising turn as he named Prince William and Princess Kate after revealing Meghan Markle's ordeal in his High-Court witness statement.
The Duke of Sussex provided a list of individuals that he was in "regular contact" during the period of time specified in the lawsuit.
Harry, 41, surprisingly mentioned his eldest brother Prince William and sister-in-law Princess Kate in the witness statement. His former girlfriend Chalsy Davy was also dragged.
The lawsuit covers events from 1996 to 2014, but he has since been estranged from his royal relatives.
Harry’s description of William focused on their closeness at the time, underscoring the level of trust he says existed between them during those years.
“HRH The Prince of Wales, my brother William,” the statement read. “Due to his position, the press have always been very interested in him.
The Duke continued: "As brothers, we naturally discussed personal aspects of our lives as we trusted each other with the highly sensitive information we shared about our private, family and professional lives.”
The royal appeared on the verge of tears as he claimed the ordeal has affected his wife, leaving her in a misery.
Archie and Lili's father has no plans to see either William or Charles during his current visit to the UK.
His statement, filed as part of his lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, was released on January 21.
King Charles was also mentioned, pointing: “During the Relevant Period, my father and I were in regular contact."
"My private information would have been present on voicemails, containing highly personal, private and sensitive information, left on his landline phone by me, other members of my family and the Royal Household,” added Harry.
