Prince Harry believes the British press was the main factor in his split with longtime girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

In a written statement obtained by The New York Times on Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex said he felt their relationship was still doomed due to the prying eyes of the tabloids.

It was just that feeling of being under surveillance all the time, the 38-year-old wrote. I believe Chelsy found it even harder to deal with when she was living in England, everyone has a limit to what they can endure.

The statement was made in connection with the Harrysongoing lawsuit against Mirror Group Newspaper Limited. The royal claims the company used unethical methods, such as tapping his mobile phone to get scoops on his life.

Although Harry said he tried to be the best partner possible, there were always three people in his relationships: him, his partner and the press.

Harry and Davy, now 37, met in early 2004 and dated until mid-2010 when she decided a royal life was not for her due to the media scrutiny.

The royal, now married to Meghan Markle, said their split was incredibly upsetting for him, but he understood why she did it.

Harry noted that they constantly lived in fear for their safety, which caused a huge amount of unnecessary stress and tension in our relationship.

We also couldn’t understand how private elements of our life together ended up in the tabloids, and so our circle of friends grew smaller and smaller, he explained. I remember finding it very difficult to trust anyone, which led to bouts of depression and paranoia.

A private moment that made headlines came in 2005 when Harry was allegedly caught flirting with a brunette at a party while the Zimbabwean businesswoman was out of town.

I had been immature, hadn’t really thought about my actions and had made a stupid decision and my mistakes were being played out publicly, the Duke of Sussex said in response to two articles published by the Daily Mirror at the era.

As the articles claimed Davy had been furious with him and licked him on the phone, the Duke wondered where they could have gotten that information.

The article contains several quotes from friends or other revelers, but the details of our telephone communications are not attributed to anyone, he stressed. So how could the journalists of the defendants know this?

While the press no doubt played a role in the couples split, Harry previously claimed they decided to call it quits due to his late grandmother’s unfavorable opinion of Davy.

In his explosive memoir Spare, the Duke confessed that Queen Elizabeth II was not a fan of Davy’s free-spirited lifestyle, which he loved most about her.

She didn’t care what other people thought, he wrote. She wore miniskirts and high-heeled boots, danced like she wanted, drank tequila like me, and it all made me really happy.

I couldn’t help but think of my grandmother. Where people. And the last thing I wanted was for Chels to change to please them.

The royal is suing the Mirror Group Newspaper Limited for allegedly hacking into his phone from 1996 to 2011 and using unlawful interception of voicemail messages to obtain information about him.

The case goes to trial at the High Court in London.
