Britain’s Prince Harry has condemned the racist and sexist abuse of his girlfriend, Meghan Markle.
A statement issued by the 32-year-old prince's spokesperson Tuesday said that while Harry has
rarely taken action over fictional stories and has worked hard to develop a professional relationship with the media, “a line has been crossed” in the past week.
Prince Harry took the unusual step of confirming his relationship with American actress Meghan Markle in an attempt to get the press to back off her.
“His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment,” the statement said in the first official confirmation of the pair's relationship.
“Some of this has been very public – the smear on the front page of a national newspaper, the racial undertones of comment pieces; and the outright sexism and racism of social media trolls and web article comments.”
The statement said Markle’s mother has had to struggle past photographers to reach her front door, reporters and photographers have tried to illegally enter Markle’s home and papers have offered “substantial bribes” to her ex-boyfriend.
