00:05The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, tired of lies being printed about them in the British

00:13According to the royal couple's official website, Markle is suing Associated Newspapers

00:17Mail on Sundays for unlawfully publishing a private letter she wrote to her father,

00:26February as part of its campaign to publish false and derogatory stories about her

00:30and her husband. The royal couple has promised to donate any damages received to

00:35an anti-bullying charity. Alongside the announcement, Prince Harry issued a lengthy

00:39statement as to their reasons for litigating this matter, citing that he's seen his

00:43wife suffer for too long and the decision to pursue legal action was many months in the making.

00:48Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid

00:52press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences,

00:57a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year throughout her pregnancy

01:01and while raising our newborn son. He continued, saying,

01:05This particular legal action hinges on one incident in a long and disturbing

01:09pattern of behavior by British tabloid media. The contents of a private letter were

01:13published unlawfully in an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader.

01:18In his statement, Prince Harry says it's time for tabloids to be held accountable,

01:22saying his worst fear is history repeating itself, referencing his own mother,

01:26Princess Diana's untimely passing at the hands of tabloids and paparazzi.

01:30I've seen what happens when someone I love is commoditized to the point that they are

01:34no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother, and now I watch my wife

01:39falling victim to the same powerful forces. For more on this story, head to THR.com.
