Prince Harry has defended his late mother, Princess Diana, against claims of paranoia, asserting that her fears of being hacked in the mid-1990s were justified.

Following Princess Diana’s tragic death in 1997, claims emerged that the beloved princess had feared her phone calls were being tapped.

While such claims have never been proven in court, Harry asserts that his mother “was absolutely right” to have had such concerns, as he discusses his legal battle with the British tabloid press in the ITV documentary titled Tabloids on Trial

“You know, same with my mother. There is evidence to suggest that she was being hacked in the mid-1990s, probably one of the first people to be hacked and yet still today, the press, the tabloid press, very much enjoy painting her as being paranoid,” he said.
