‘They Made My Wife’s Life’s an Absolute Misery’

While at High Court, his lawyer, David Sherborne, asked Harry how the legal proceedings have made him feel.
“It’s fundamentally wrong to put us through this again when all we wanted was an apology and accountability. It’s a horrible experience,” he spilled, according to a news outlet. “They continue to come after me. They have made my wife’s life an absolute misery, my Lord.”
