Hugh Grant Joins Prince Harry to Call for Investigation into U.K. Tabloids
In a rare joint statement, British actor Hugh Grant and Prince Harry have called for an investigation into the practices of the U.K.’s tabloid press, citing a culture of harassment and invasion of privacy.
The two public figures, known for their respective careers in Hollywood and the British royal family, have spoken out against the treatment of celebrities and ordinary people by the tabloid media.

"We believe that the time has come for a full and independent investigation into the practices of the U.K.’s tabloid press," the statement read. "We believe that this investigation should be led by an independent body, such as the Leveson Inquiry, and that it should have the power to hold the tabloids accountable for their actions.
"We also believe that the government should take immediate action to protect the privacy of individuals and to prevent the kind of harassment and invasion of privacy that we have seen in the past. We believe that this can be achieved through the implementation of new laws and regulations, as well as through increased enforcement of existing laws.
"We know that this is not an easy task, but we believe that it is necessary to ensure that the U.K.’s tabloid press is held to account and that the privacy of individuals is protected. We hope that our fellow citizens will join us in calling for an investigation and for action to be taken to protect the privacy of individuals."
