Prince Harry’s flirty Facebook messages to a reporter have surfaced as part of his U.K. tabloids trial.
In court documents quoted by The Times and The Telegraph, Harry and journalist Charlotte Griffiths appeared to exchange some personal messages between December 2011 and January 2012.
In his first message to Griffiths in December, Harry wrote, "It’s H, incase u were confused by the name and picture.”
Griffiths responded, "Hello Mr Mischief, was indeed confused by both – effing awesome pie.”
In another message, Griffiths recalled their “weekend of naughtiness,” adding, "Can’t we all get up to no good in the countryside every weeked [sic] damn it?? Smooches, CG String. Xxx.”
According to her testimony, Griffiths told the court that they met up at a weekend country house party hosted by his friend Arthur Landon.
In his text, Harry called it "without doubt the best of those weekends I’ve been to,” writing, "What a crowd. Never laughed so much in 24hrs!!! Mr Mischief? How did I get that title… I was surely no worse than anyone else.”
A month later, Charlotte sent a message to Harry, calling him “H-bomb.”
In the alleged text message, Griffiths had mentioned that the Prince was missed at a mutual friend’s home and told him that she went to a snow polo match to support his Sentebale charity.
He replied, "I wish I was there sugar but unfortunately stuck in Cornwall doing Army stuff.”
"Otherwise I would have been there playing and then drinking u under the table,obvi!!.” Harry wrote back.
According to The Telegraph, Harry ended the correspondence, writing, "Hope you’re really well Griff . . . Miss our movie snuggles!!”
During his testimony in January, Harry told the court that he eventually cut off contact with Charlotte after finding out that she was a reporter for the Mail.
Harry emphasized that he was "not friends with any of these journalists."
The trial has been going on for 11 weeks and is nearing an end. A ruling is expected sometime soon.
Harry and other high-profile figures including Sir Elton John and Elizabeth Hurley are suing Associated Newspapers for alleged unlawful information gathering like phone hacking from 1993-2011.
According to the BBC, Associated Newspapers has “vigorously denied” the claims.
