Prince Harry and his spouse Meghan Markle blacklisted 4 significant British tabloids this Sunday, blaming them of issuing stories that were “distorted, false and invasive beyond reason”, UK media reported.
In a harsh message to the editors of the Sun, Daily Mail, Mirror and Express, the couple, who have formally walked down as senior members of the British Royal family, said there would be “no corroboration and zero engagement” with the papers, the Guardian said.
“This policy is not about avoiding criticism. It’s not about shutting down public conversation or censoring accurate reporting,” according to a purported copy of the letter shared by Financial Times media reporter Mark Di Stefano on Twitter.
But they did not want to be used as “currency for an economy of clickbait and distortion”.
The newspaper reported the letter as an “unprecedented attack on a large part of the media”.
Harry and Meghan made a bombshell announcement in January that they wished to withdraw from frontline royal duties and become financially independent.
