"Hello Mr. Mischievous": These intimate messages between Prince Harry and a journalist were revealed on the last day of his trial against the Daily Mail.

As Prince Harry's trial against the Daily Mail publishing company concluded on Tuesday, March 31, after more than two months of hearings, private messages sent on Facebook by the Duke of Sussex to a journalist between December 2011 and January 2012 were revealed.

Messages that are likely upsetting to the person most concerned. For over two months, Prince Harry and six other public figures have been suing the publisher of the Daily Mail, Associated Newspapers Ltd, for invasion of privacy. On the final day of this trial, which concluded on Tuesday, March 31, in London, Prince Harry found himself at the center of some rather embarrassing revelations: as reported by the Telegraph, a rather intimate exchange he had with a Daily Mail journalist between December 2011 and January 2012 was disclosed in the High Court of London. This exchange suggests that the Duke of Sussex was on better terms with some journalists than he had let on, one in particular.

Since the trial began in January 2016, he has consistently maintained that he never had a friendly relationship with them. Prince Harry also claims to have "cut ties" with the infamous Charlotte Griffiths—a Daily Mail journalist he met at a party with friends in 2011—immediately after learning of her profession.

"Hello Mr. Mischievous"

However, the text messages revealed on the last day of the trial seem to suggest otherwise. The first message, sent on December 4, 2011, was initiated by the young Prince Harry, then 26 years old: "It's H, in case you confused the name and the photo!!! X." The journalist replied in a tone that sounded flirtatious: "Hello Mr. Mischievous… Did you get home safely? Did you find your car? (…) What a crazy weekend! Couldn't we all get up to mischief in the countryside every weekend, for God's sake? Kisses, CG (for Charlotte Griffiths). Xxx."

Charles III's son concluded that he had spent one of the best weekends of his life and claimed to have "never laughed so much in 24 hours." About ten days later, he contacted her again, regretting that she had "missed a good evening the night before."

"I would have loved to be there, my darling."

But contrary to what Meghan Markle 's husband would have us believe , the exchanges didn't end there. On January 22, 2012, more than a month later, new, particularly intimate messages were exchanged. Charlotte Griffith nicknamed Prince Harry "H-Bomb" and expressed her regret that he had missed an evening "at Arthur's," their mutual friend's house where they had met more than a month earlier. She then asked him if he was in Klosters, a ski resort in the Swiss Alps where she was spending her holidays. "I would have loved to be there, darling, but unfortunately I'm stuck in Cornwall on military business," the prince replied. "I just wish I could have been there... Especially now that you're here! (...) I miss our cuddles in front of a movie," he continued, before adding that he would be "unreachable" for the entire following week. Their relationship reportedly continued at least until June 2012, when data shows a phone call at 2:50 a.m. the day before Trooping the Colour.

This exchange could well jeopardize Prince Harry's defense. While the verdict has not yet been delivered, the judge has stated that he will "work hard on the judgment" full-time after Easter. The wait will surely be unbearable for him.
