British actor Hugh Grant has defended Prince Harry’s right to “protect his family”.

“I am rather on Harry’s side,” said Grant in a radio interview.

“The tabloid press effectively murdered his mother, now they’re tearing his wife to pieces,” he continued, referencing to Princess Diana’s 1997 death, in which her vehicle was pursued by paparazzi. “I think as a man, it’s his job to protect his family, so I am with him.”
