Prince Harry’s testimony at the Supreme Court has revealed a disturbing side of the tabloids that feels more like a spy thriller than journalism.
He described Mail on Sundays, reporters appeared in remote corners of Africa where no one could possibly know he was.
These reporters not only covered events, they tracked him and followed his movements.
Caroline Graham stands out in particular. She was allegedly a part of Emails surveillance team in Africa and is now the confidante of Thomas Markle, Meghan’s estranged father.
She has gone from following the Duke on riverbanks and hospital visits to coaxing personal information from the people closest to Meghan.
If the tabloids can’t get the story from their main target, they’ll find someone around them who will. It is a strategy designed to gain information and influence the narrative.
The same person who showed up uninvited in the desert is now inside family homes under the guise of friendship. Surveillance is made to feel like trust, and getting close is made to feel like care. The effect is deeply disturbing.
Harry’s own words “complete stalking and constant surveillance” say it all.
These reporters don’t just report, they sneak in, get up close and make themselves part of the story.
Caroline Graham’s journey from following Harry in Africa to sitting by Thomas Markle’s bedside shows exactly how the tabloids play the long game.
Royal fans called the situation creepy and noted that Harry seems to be attracting an unusual amount of attention from female admirers.
Others pointed out that, unlike Prince William, he never ended up marrying either of them.
