Prince Harry Issues Unprecedented Attack On Ppl Trolling GF Meghan Markle

Well this is some bittersweet news: Prince Harry has confirmed in a communiqué from Kensington Palace that he is indeed dating Meghan Markle – unfortunately, that same communiqué is one expressing disgust at the level of abuse and harassment she’s experienced since rumours began about their relationship.
Suits‘ star, Meghan, and, uh, prince, Prince Harry, reportedly met in Toronto, where ‘Suits‘ is filmed, back in May, when Harry was in town for the launch of the 2017 Invictus Games.
The evidence of them being together so far has been a biiit tenuous, although some would say this picture from her Instagram of two bananas spooning is 100% confirmation in itself:

Sleep tight xx (Update: Thanks so much to those who shared the photo cred 🙂 I didn’t know, and I love it! Credit where credit is due: I’m bananas for this @percxption) ??????

The press release from the palace is the first official acknowledgement of their relationship, and might present a slightly more substantial bit of evidence than the banana photo.
Apparently, both the internet and the media have been reeeaaal pieces of shit to the pair of them since news first came out, and Harry’s not having a bar of it:
“But the past week has seen a line crossed. His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment. Some of this has been very public – the smear on the front page of a national newspaper; the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments. 

“Some of it has been hidden from the public – the nightly legal battles to keep defamatory stories out of papers; her mother having to struggle past photographers in order to get to her front door; the attempts of reporters and photographers to gain illegal entry to her home and the calls to police that followed; the substantial bribes offered by papers to her ex-boyfriend; the bombardment of nearly every friend, co-worker, and loved one in her life.

“Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game’. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – it is her life and his.”
For the record, I can confirm that we absolutely didn’t bribe her ex-boyfriend for this story.
