As we previously reported, texts that Prince Harry sent to a woman named Charlotte Griffiths were revealed in court this week.
The texts were submitted as evidence in Harry’s privacy lawsuit against the publishers of the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday.
The messages portray a very different side of the Duke of Sussex than the one we typically see in public.
In the texts, Harry makes flirty remarks to Charlotte, referencing their “movie snuggles” at a recent group weekend getaway.
She, in turn, refers to him using the nicknames “Mr. Mischief” and “H-Bomb.”
Now, these texts were sent in 2011 and 2012, long before Harry met and married Meghan Markle.
Still, it seems that Meghan is less than thrilled with the content of the messages — and with the new nickname that Harry has earned.
“This has led to Harry picking up the nickname ‘Flirty Harry’ because of the tone of those messages, and Meghan Markle is fuming that all of this is now doing the rounds,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“Meghan feels it is embarrassing and frustrating, especially given how hard they have worked to control their narrative, and now these old conversations are being picked apart publicly,” the insider continues, adding:
“The fact that the messages come across as so playful and familiar has left Meghan particularly unhappy that this side of Harry is being highlighted in such a public way.”
It’s true that the messages depict a more laid back side of Harry
At one point, he wrote to Charlotte about missing a party and joked he would have enjoyed “drinking u under the table.”
And the line about “miss[ing] our movie snuggles” seems to suggest that these two were more than just friends.
We’re sure it’s not easy for Meghan to be confronted with this glimpse at her husband’s past.
But it’s important to note that this all took place before Harry was a married father of two.
While he may have had more freedom back then, we’re sure he’s much happier now.
And hopefully, Meghan feels assured of that truth every day.
