'Drink You Under The Table, Mwah': Prince Harry’s Flirty Messages To Female Reporter Revealed

Prince Harry allegedly referred to a journalist as 'sugar' and described their 'movie snuggles' in a flirtatious Facebook exchange almost ten years ago. In response, Daily Mail journalist Charlotte Griffiths nicknamed him 'Mr Mischief' in jest and hinted at a potential 'weekend of naughtiness', according to Page Six. These texts reappeared at a hearing on Tuesday when the court heard the Duke of Sussex's complaint against Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail.

Prince Harry and Charlotte Griffiths' messages, which were exchanged on Facebook between December 2011 and January 2012, were shown to Justice Matthew Nicklin on Tuesday during final arguments, as per The New York Post.

Prince Harry humorously introduced himself in a post dated December 4, 2011, writing, "It's H, in case you were confused by name and picture!!! X". Griffiths responded, "What a fun weekend of naughtiness – can't we all get up to no good in the countryside every weekend, damn it?? Smooches." To this, Harry replied, "Without doubt the best of those weekends I've been to."
