ITV journalist Rebecca Barry challenged Prince Harry during a documentary on the phone hacking scandal, sparking debate on his integrity and actions.
Barry’s statement, “I don’t feel sorry for you,” has ignited a firestorm of debate, with many questioning the Duke of Sussex’s actions.
The scandal, one of the most significant media controversies in recent British history, involved the illegal interception of voicemail messages by journalists. Prince Harry, along with several other victims, has been vocal about the invasion of privacy and the distress it caused.
However, allegations suggest that Prince Harry may have destroyed evidence related to the case. Barry’s measured and defensive responses did little to sway Barry, highlighting the irony of his position and questioning whether he deserved public sympathy.
Supporters argue that Barry’s approach is necessary as a counterbalance to the often one-sided portrayal of Harry as a wronged party. Critics argue that Barry’s approach was overly antagonistic and failed to consider the broader context of his struggles with the media.
