Prince Harry Takes Aim at Tabloid Phone Hacking in New Sit-Down Interview for Documentary with Hugh Grant

Prince Harry’s next interview has been revealed.

On July 10, ITV announced that the Duke of Sussex, 39, participated in a new documentary about phone hacking. Tabloids on Trial is slated to premiere on Thursday, July 25.

ITV royals editor Chris Ship wrote on X, “He tells our reporter @BeccaBarry why he is fighting to expose what he says are the illegal activities of Britain’s tabloid newspapers. Hugh Grant, Charlotte Church, Paul Gascoigne also speak. ‘Tabloids on Trial’ ITV1, 9pm on July 25”

The update came with two new photos of Prince Harry from the interview. One shot showed the Duke of Sussex solo, and the other captured him sitting on a couch in conversation with Barry, a health correspondent at ITV News.

King Charles’ son has recently been involved in four lawsuits against newspaper publishers in the U.K. over allegations of phone hacking and other unlawful acts.

Separately, the Duke of Sussex lost his legal challenge to have police security in the U.K. earlier this year. He previously said he “felt forced” to step back from his royal role and leave the U.K. in 2020, citing security concerns for his family — his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

High Court judge Peter Lane upheld the decision by the U.K. government not to give them automatic protection in the country and downgrade his security.

The announcement comes ahead of Prince Harry’s appearance at the 2024 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on July 11, where he will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service in recognition of the impact his Invictus Games Foundation has made since its inception a decade ago.
