Prince Harry’s legal battle has taken an unexpected turn and gives full April Fools’ mood.
Freshly revealed messages show the Duke of Sussex in conversation with Charlotte Griffiths Mail on Sunday journalist.
The exchanges include nicknames, kisses signed “mwah” and references to “movie snuggles”.
It began in 2011 after a weekend party with mutual friends when Prince Harry messaged Griffiths on Facebook.
Griffiths called him “Mr. Mischief”. He called her “sugar”.
The messages also include jokes about drinking out of her, chat about missed parties.
In one message, Harry said he wished he had been there “especially now that you’re there.”
He joked about being stuck at a boring charity dinner, “begging them for money” while wanting more of the same chaos.
When Griffiths, who called him the “H Bomb”, mentioned another gathering, he replied that he was stuck in the army but otherwise would have been there “playing and drinking you under the table.”
The messages between them now seem to sit awkwardly with Harry’s previous claims in court that he only met her once and cut off contact as soon as he realized she was a journalist.
These exchanges have arisen as part of his high-profile legal claim against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.
