Prince Harry has “torpedoed any remaining bridges” with his family with his latest allegations! As you might know, the Duke of Sussex is currently in London as he and six other claimants (including Elton John) are suing Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Daily Mail, for allegedly invading their privacy by intercepting their phone calls, voicemails, and even bugging their cars and homes with the help of private detectives.

The publisher has denied the accusations, but a judge will be the one to decide whether or not the case should go to trial. Related: Harry & Meghan’s Kids Not Yet Invited To King Charles’ Coronation!
