Prince Harry's privacy lawsuit against associated newspapers just got spiced here with old Facebook messages surfacing between him and a mail on Sunday. Journalist named Charlotte Griffiths. These shots from December 2011 to January 2012 paint a picture of a chummy vibe, way friendlier than Harry admitted in court. He testified back in January that they only cross paths once at a mutual friend's party and he ghosted her the next day once he clocked her job. But the messages tell a different story, with weeks of back and forth using sweet nicknames and kisses. Griffiths, now the paper's editor at large, says they ran in overlapping social circles with young royals and Harry even friended her first before, sharing his number. They kept the friendly energy going, missing parties together and joking about hangouts. The 11 week trial wrapped up Tuesday with massive closing arguments from both sides.

Judgments reserved, with the judge diving in full time after Easter, so we'll wait to see if these texts tip the scales or just add fuel to the royal. Media Fire
