Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth II's grandson, has issued an appeal to the press and social-media commentators to end "the wave of abuse and harassment" that has been directed in the past few weeks at his new girlfriend, Hollywood actress Meghan Markle, her friends and family.
Markle, best known for her role as Rachel Zane in legal drama Suits, and Harry, the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, have been dating since June, according to US Weekly, although news of the relationship only began to circulate widely in the past few weeks.
