Prince Harry's story on the tabloid 

The story published focused on how Prince Harry, who is a former British Army officer failed to keep his contacts with Royal Marines after their exit from the family to seek freedom, privacy and financial independence. The 'Megxit' happened after the Royal couple decided to move away from the Royal family and shift to California. The Duke negotiated that he would keep his military links, that is his role as the Captain-General of the Royal Marines. 

However, the correction made by the tabloid isn't much and has been buried. The news article isn't available on the website. The publisher has not yet explained their part of the story. The case will not shut down yet as Prince Harry's lawsuit will be heard in court in early January. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently living in California with 18-month-old son, Archie. They recently celebrated Christmas away from the Royal Family. The couple left the family in January 2020 to start their own lives away from royal duties.
