Harry claimed he only met Griffiths once and cut contact after learning she was a reporter. The texts tell a different story — multiple meetups, inside jokes, mutual friends, and plans to connect at ski holidays. He signed messages with kisses and used playful banter throughout.
The messages (Dec 2011-Jan 2012) were between Harry and Charlotte Griffiths, who he nicknamed "sugar" while she called him "Mr Mischief." They reference a "weekend of naughtiness" in the countryside that Harry called "without doubt the best of those weekends I've been to."
The judge warned a ruling will take "some time." Meanwhile, the irony is thick — a privacy case reveals the very private communications Harry wanted to protect, undermining his own testimony about the relationship.
The messages predate Harry's relationship with Cressida Bonas and are obviously years before Meghan. Griffiths testified they attended a party together in June 2012, the night before Trooping the Color, and messaged the next morning.
Context matters: This evidence emerged during Harry's case against Associated Newspapers (Daily Mail's publisher) alleging two decades of phone hacking, landline bugging, and privacy violations from the early 1990s onward. Seven claimants total, including Elton John.
Prince Harry's privacy lawsuit just backfired spectacularly — flirty Facebook messages with a Daily Mail reporter surfaced, showing him calling her "sugar," joking about drinking her "under the table," and missing their "movie snuggles." So much for the "I barely knew her" defense.
