哈里王子要求媒体停止对女友的骚扰
Britain's Prince Harry took the highly unusual step Tuesday of asking the media and internet trolls to stop the "wave of abuse and harassment" against his TV-star girlfriend Meghan Markle.
英国哈里王子做出了一个极不寻常的举动，他要求媒体网站停止对其电视明星女友梅根·马克尔的“诬蔑和骚扰”。
Harry, who is fifth in line to the U.K. throne, issued a statement saying he understood the curiosity surrounding his personal life but "in the past week a line has been crossed."
The statement was the first official confirmation that he has been dating 35-year-old Markle. The Los Angeles-born actress is now based in Toronto and is best known for her role in the TV comedy-drama "Suits."
The pair have been rumored to be dating for several months.
Harry, 32, said that during the past week his girlfriend has been "subject to a wave of abuse and harassment" both public and private.
This included a "smear" on the front page of a national newspaper, "racial undertones" of newspaper comment pieces, and "outright sexism and racism of social media trolls," the statement said.
