Chris Evert is never shy to express her opinions even on the most sensitive issues, both on and off the court. Recently, after Prince Harry made headlines with a fierce legal battle against Associated Newspapers Ltd., Chris was quick to express her opinions on the matter. Harry has sued the publisher of The Daily Mail over grave allegations of tabloid intrusion as the case proceeds in London.

Along with the Duke of Sussex, celebrities like Elton John and his husband David Furnish, Liz Hurley, and Sadie Frost are suing the newspaper group for phone hacking and other privacy violations. While the publisher expectedly denies the allegations, Chris Evert’s statement has turned heads into how clouded the reality might be. After she supported British tennis icon Emma Raducanu against the “ruthless” media in a recent interview with Eurosport, the ‘Ice Maiden’ is now vocal with her support for the Prince.

Chris Evert’s fans make their pro-Prince Harry stance clear amidst recent legal controversies

Talking about the allegation that Prince Harry has charged the media firm with, Chris Evert was as blunt as one can be. She says, “There are many wonderful journalists in England, but I have to say, for the most part, the British tabloids very often are brutal and do cross the lines of integrity.” Stating her stance for once and for all, she said, “I agree with Prince Harry on this one… “

Another fan was quick to comment on their general belief regarding tabloids- that they are brutal and have no regard for privacy. According to them, it didn’t matter whether it was based in England or not.

A fan could not help but side with the press as they argued that all the press does is “dig up” dirt at the behest of its audience.

Sarcasm makes its way into the comments as a follower comments on how American tabloids are essentially the same as the ones in Britain.

While Chris has highlighted the issue of the tabloids, fans think that there is more to the case. They argue that it isn’t just the tabloids, but a large chunk of media houses that target Harry and Meghan Markle for no apparent reason.

While the controversy continues to rage, Prince Harry is making frequent visits to the court to plead his case. The case is reminiscent of the call-hacking scandal that shook the UK a decade ago, leading to the conviction of the former spokesperson for then-Prime Minister David Cameron.

While the allegations in Prince Harry’s case date primarily from 1993 to 2011, they also stretch beyond 2018. Whether the court finds these allegations rooted in evidence is what will decide how the debate goes to rest.
