Prince Harry of Great Britain accused ‘the harassing and abusive behavior’ from the public space at the address of his girlfriend, the American actress Meghan Markle, 35 years old. The British press reported everyday about Markle, starting from the end of October, and about her meetings with Prince Harry, which happens for few months. The Kensington Palace issued a press release, that officially confirms the relationship of Prince Harry with the American actress, but which denounces the media reports, including the defamation on the first page of a national British newspaper, the comments with racial and sexist substrate as well as the racism of the ‘trolls’ on the social network accounts and the comments of the Internet users to the online articles. ‘The past week has seen a line crossed. His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment.

Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle’s safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her. […] This is not a game – it is her life and his’, it is shown in the official communicate.
