The couple's challenges and frustrations with media are not new. The incident comes as Prince Harry is embroiled in court battles with British tabloids, which he alleges have invaded his family's privacy and wrought havoc for decades. He is currently suing three British tabloid publishers over alleged phone hacking and other unlawful snooping. Meghan won an invasion of privacy case in 2021 against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
The prince's legal fights have resulted in at least one publisher admitting to gathering information on the prince unlawfully earlier this month. Harry is expected to appear in court in June against the publisher of The Mirror.
Prince Harry previously denounced the British media's "malicious" and "relentless" coverage of his wife, sharing an emotional open letter in 2019. "Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences – a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son," he wrote in the statement.
