Chased Down Under

Harry accused media of hunting him down during his gap year in Australia when he was 19-years-old, describing it as “deeply disturbing” and so intrusive that he very nearly abandoned his trip on the sunshine coast in Queensland.

He said: “A photographer turned up on a random beach in Noosa where no other people were, it’s incredibly suspicious.

“It is deeply disturbing that looking for me is regarded as a ‘hunt’.

“Based on my experience and knowledge, in a lot of articles and many since, a lot of false information is put into the article intentionally to throw people like me off the scent.

“I somewhat reject an article by a paparazzi or photographic agency as proof of a story. If I was that person, I would make up some story of how the hunt happened, rather than the reality.

“Some elements are true, clouded, shrouded, and concealed in lots of false information which is why I wasn’t aware I had a claim for so long.”
