Methodology

The rules this site follows — and the ones it refuses to break — when writing about a living public figure.

Neutrality policy

This site takes no position on the disputes surrounding Prince Harry. It does not defend him, attack him, or psychoanalyse him. Where the record is contested, the site presents each side’s documented position and labels the category of evidence. Adjectives of praise or blame do not appear in the site’s own voice; they appear only inside attributed quotations.

The three evidence categories

Every substantive claim is implicitly or explicitly tagged:

  1. The public record — dates, documents, court judgments, official statements, published statistics. Stated plainly.
  2. Harry’s (or Meghan’s) account — interviews, speeches, Spare. Presented as their account with the source named. Never silently converted into fact.
  3. Reported — press claims. Attributed to the outlet (“The Telegraph reported…”), with denials and corrections noted where they exist.

A claim that fits none of these is flagged in the text as unverified.

Uncertainty

Dates use documented evidence. Where sources disagree on a date or number, the disagreement is stated rather than smoothed over. “Reported” is never upgraded to “established” by repetition. This policy applies most strictly to Spare’s claims (see spare.md) and to the Oprah interview’s disputed passages (see oprah-interview.md).

Quote verification

A quotation appears on this site only if it is traceable to a primary source: a published transcript, broadcast recording, official statement, or book text. Paraphrase is never presented as quotation. Where only secondary reporting of a remark exists, the remark is described as reported and the outlet is named. The full policy and its results are on sayings.md.

Image honesty

Living-person care

Prince Harry is alive. This site records only what is documented in public sources, avoids speculation about private matters (health, finances beyond the public record, family relationships beyond on-record statements), and does not publish the children’s images or locations. Corrections are welcome and will be made against the evidence categories above.
