He likened the article to one much like those that poorly treated his now late mother, Diana.

"I've seen what happens when someone I love is commoditized to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother, and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces,"an emotional Prince Harry wrote.

The statement has Prince Harry explaining that while he and his wife "believe in media freedom," they won't stand by and watch while they become the victim of a "false" and "malicious" propaganda.

The Prince labeled the act a form of bullying while writing that his wife is "one of the latest victims" of a British media outlet that lodges a "ruthless campaign" against people without any thought for the possible consequences.

He expressed concern that the reports had seemed unending even while Markle was pregnant and after when she was raising their newborn son. The proud father went on to disclose that it is a recent report, allegedly aired by The Mail, that got their attention and that it has been very troubling for Markle because it contains sensitive information about her relationship with her father.
