Prince Harry says it “hurts” to read happy stories about his break-up with ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
The duke, who dated Davy for several years after meeting in 2004, said the headlines appeared to celebrate the news, rather than sympathize.
“Returning to it now — ‘Hooray Harry is Dumped’ hurts, that such a private moment turned into a bit of a laugh,” said the exiled king.
“The fact that the payments are referred to as Project Harry is incredibly disturbing.”
“The level of surveillance I’m under is quite something,” he added.
Green, representing Mirror Group Newspapers, then asked, “You’re not suggesting that ‘Hooray Harry’ is a reference to the celebration you were thrown, are you?”
“Again, whether it has been used before or not, for me, to be the subject or victim of this, to see the word used in this term is offensive,” Harry told the court.
“The article said that [Chelsy] tired of ‘his hooray lifestyle’ — it’s not celebrating the death of your relationship,” Green told Harry.
“It looks pretty bad,” replied the duke.
