Prince Harry has had an understandably complicated relationship with the press ever since his mother was killed in a car crash while fleeing the paparazzi in 1997. When he was interviewed for the BBC documentary Diana, 7 Days, the prince said,
"One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her through into the tunnel were the same people that were taking photographs of her, while she was still dying on the back seat."
In 2004, seven years after his mother's tragic passing, Harry allegedly snapped. The 20-year-old royal was reportedly swamped by the paparazzi as he left London night club Pangaea in the early hours of the morning and allegedly left a photographer with a bloody lip. A Clarence House statement published in The Guardian said,
"Prince Harry was hit in the face by a camera as photographers crowded around him as he was getting into a car. [...] In pushing the camera away, it's understood that a photographer's lip was cut."
However, the photographer, Chris Uncle, had a very different story. He told the London Evening Standard,
"[Prince Harry] burst out the car and lunged towards me as I was still taking pictures. [...] He lashed out and then deliberately pushed my camera into my face."
It seems as though Harry's dislike of the press has only intensified over the years. On October 1st, 2019, the prince released an official statement condemning the British tabloid press for its treatment of his wife Meghan Markle, in which he said,
"I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces."
