Prince Harry testifying in UK tabloid lawsuit: live updates

Prince Harry says it was “painful” to stumble upon cheering stories about his split from ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

The Duke, who dated Davy non-stop for several years after meeting them in 2004, said the headlines seemed to be celebrating the news, rather than sympathizing.

“Going through it again now – ‘Hooray Harry was thrown’ was painful to say the least, said the exiled king, that such a private moment had turned into a kind of laughable one.”

“The fact that the payments are referred to as Project Harry is very disturbing.”

“The level of surveillance I was putting up with was quite a thing,” he added.

Green, representing the Mirror Group Newspapers, then asked, “You’re not suggesting ‘Hooray Harry’ was a nod to celebrating being dumped, are you?”

Harry told the court: “Again, whether or not it has been used before, for me, to be the object or victim of this, I consider the word used in that term to be offensive.”

The article quotes that [Chelsy] I’m tired of his ‘hoarse lifestyle’ – he doesn’t celebrate the demise of your relationship,” Green told Harry.

“That sounds a bit mean,” replied the duke.
