These days, Prince Harry is a SoCal-based husband and father, who’s probably in bed by 10 every night after performing an elaborate skincare routine.
But in his single days, the “spare” prince took full advantage of the fact that he was not as heavily burdened by responsibility as his older brother, William.
In fact, there was a time, not all that long ago, when Harry was exchanging texts with a female journalist who playfully nicknamed him “Mr. Mischief.”
As you’re probably aware, Harry has been involved in a lot of privacy lawsuits against major media outlets in recent months.
And this week, a closing hearing in his trial against the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday publisher Associated Newspapers yielded some surprising info about the Prince’s past.
In messages from 2011 and 2012, Harry exchanged some very flirty messages with a journalist named Charlotte Griffiths.
“It’s H, in case u were confused by name and picture!!! X,” he wrote in one message dated Dec. 4, 2011. (per Page Six)
“What a fun weekend of naughtiness — can’t we all get up to no good in the countryside every weekend damn it?? Smooches,” Griffiths replied before referring to Harry as “Mr. Mischief.”
Harry added that it was “the best of those weekends I’ve been to” and then asked about his new nickname, writing:
“Mr mischief? How do I get that title … l was surely no worse than anyone else!!”
He then griped that he had to “make polite conversation with strange people at a dinner” while “begging them for money for charity.”
So yeah, even when Harry is partying with friends, he still has to perform certain royal duties. No wonder he was so happy to leave the UK!
In other texts, Griffith referred to Harry as “H bomb” (her talent for coming up with nicknames is top-tier) and wrote that “we missed you so much at Arthur’s last week.”
