The Prince and Me: How Prince Harry tried to discredit me in court—but my secret Facebook messages with ‘Spike Wells’ proved the truth.
— Daily Mail Online (@DailyMail) July 2026
Prince Harry took a massive loss a few days ago when a judge dismissed all of his claims against the Daily Mail. But if you thought the Daily Mail winning their massive privacy lawsuit against Prince Harry was the end of the drama, think again. The paper just dropped a completely unhinged, petty, and deeply messy first-person exposé by Mail on Sunday editor Charlotte Griffiths detailing her actual history with the Duke of Sussex.
Here is the high-level breakdown of the sheer chaos in this article:
The Wild 2011 Backstory: Charlotte details her surreal 2011 party friendship with a pre-Meghan Harry. Highlights include him shoving a random pill on her tongue as a “trust test,” pulling raunchy pranks with silver animal statues at a swanky shooting weekend, and later sliding into her Facebook DMs under the alias “Spike Wells.”
How It Blew Up in Court: During the lawsuit, Harry’s legal team claimed his inner circle was completely leak-proof and that the paper must have spied on him illegally. To defend itself, the Mail forced Charlotte to turn over her old text logs and Facebook history to prove they actually hung out naturally.
Harry Caught Lying Under Oath: In the witness box, Harry swore he only met Charlotte once and immediately cut her off. The disclosed texts completely embarrassed him, proving they partied together multiple times, swapped “cuddle” messages, and that Charlotte actually ghosted him when she stopped replying to his DMs.
They are calling out his PR Hypocrisy: Charlotte exposes major hypocrisy from Team Sussex. While Harry was claiming the Mail only gets info through illegal hacking, his own US PR chiefs secretly met up with Charlotte for lunch in summer 2025 to leak positive stories to her about Harry patching things up with King Charles.
The “Honeytrap” Smear Campaign: Because their old flirty texts were read aloud in open court, Charlotte became a global internet target. She alleges Harry’s PR team actively weaponized misogyny against her, even briefing hostile reporters that she was a predatory “honeytrap” sent to seduce the prince.
Charlotte wraps up by saying she used to find Harry’s mischievous streak charming, but now views him as a completely unrecognizable, hypocritical figure who lectures the world on online bullying while letting his own team viciously tear down his old friends.
MODS: this is a super long article and tried to trim it as best as I could.
