Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has faced frequent criticism and intrusiveness from the British tabloids. Various outlets critique different aspects of the Duchess. These include her heritage, her desire for privacy, and any breaches in royal precedent. Those around her see the attacks, and anyone close to Duchess Meghan knows the pain it causes her. Some outlets, rather than ease their badgering, instead debate if the Royal Family even likes Duchess Meghan or not. To this day, Prince Harry sees the effects of these attacks front and center. He ignores none of this and now is not holding back in his retaliation. With his wife, he is opening up about how damaging the British tabloids' relentless hounding is.

Prince Harry decries this treatment, saying, "Put simply it is bullying, which scares and silences people." And while their relentless pressing persists, Prince Harry feels he has been silent "for too long." Much of his condemnation came during the new documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey. The special aired in the U.K. on Sunday. An insider told PEOPLE, "He sees the pain of his wife and the attacks she faces, and he wants to try to sort it out."

But again, for me and for my wife, of course, there’s a lot of stuff that hurts — especially when the majority of it is untrue."
