More revelations about Prince Harry's personal life are coming out from last week's Dealbook Summit.

An article from GB News covers Prince Harry's commentary about the media's coverage of his marriage and his inability to protect his family from false reports and outside harassment. According to the Duke of Sussex, many of the reports related to his name and family are false and not based in reality. This exposes him to levels of gossip and hate that force him to remain outside the United Kingdom for his own safety.

A battle with the media that may never end

In the same interview, Prince Harry shared that he was grateful to be raising his children in the United States because they were protected from the conflicts of life as a British royal. After marrying his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duke of Sussex experienced severe backlash from the media and was subjected to coverage that Prince Harry believes was rooted in lies and misinformation.

While he does not have to suffer from the same type of stress his mother Princess Diana did, Harry still worries about how he will be able to protect his wife and children from inaccurate reports from the media. While speaking to Dealbook's Andrew Ross Sorkin, Prince Harry said that he tries to read as little as possible to cope with the controversies surrounding him.

One such controversy is the continued discussion from tabloids and gossipers about he and Meghan's marriage. "Apparently, we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, what?" Harry said to Sorkin. "It's hard to keep up with, but that's why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls."

Unsurprisingly, Prince Harry appears to be taking the high road when it comes to dealing with the media. However, his concerns about the long-term effect the coverage will have on his wife and children is legitimate. Harry knows that his children's life in the United States is better than what they would probably be experiencing back home. This sobering reality caused Harry to realize that he is probably living the life his mother always wanted for him.

Time will tell if Prince Harry and Meghan will ever be able to escape the media's vitriol. The couple's Netflix deal technically makes them members of the media industry themselves; but the Duke and Duchess' content appears to be focused on what they love rather than anything they'd want to criticize.
