Prince Harry is in hot soup, yet again. According to reports, Harry sent flirtatious messages to a journalist, Charlotte Griffiths. The chats have surfaced in court documents linked to his privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail.
The messages, sent over several days between December 2011 and January 2012, show the duke joking about drinking the journalist “under the table” and recalling their “movie snuggles,” according to reports.
Prince Harry’s Privacy Case
The exchanges between the duke and the journalist came to light as part of Harry’s legal action against Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Daily Mail. The messages were reportedly shared between the royal and Charlotte Griffiths, who now works as a reporter for the newspaper.
In the conversations, Harry referred to Griffiths as “sugar” and often signed off with several kisses. Griffiths, in turn, playfully nicknamed the duke “Mr Mischief” and mentioned what she described as a “weekend of naughtiness,” according to The Telegraph.
