Prince Harry is now sharpening his sword to slay another media giant after Vanity Fair labeled his new life in the States an 'American Hustle.'
Furious Harry and wife Meghan Markle are "discussing their options" with attorneys after being "deeply hurt" by the mag's frontpage bombshells, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The article included accusations they are the "most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet" and floated rumours that Markle's team had been shopping around for a deal for her to write a "post-divorce book."
Harry has sets his sights on Vanity Fair after taking down Rupert Murdoch in court.
Fresh from vanquishing media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, insiders say he now has the magazine's publishers in his sights.
An insider said: "This article is disturbing on multiple levels, leaving Meghan feeling utterly humiliated and betrayed.
"Harry was equally taken aback. It was a relentless attack on their reputations and they are deeply hurt.
Harry and Markle are exploring legal options after scathing accusations in the society magazine, sources say.
"This situation can't be brushed aside. Vanity Fair carries significant influence and credibility in elite social circles on both sides of the Atlantic, and the breadth of the allegations is alarmingly extensive and harmful.
"Harry has made several phone calls to explore his legal options and to see if he has a claim for damages against the magazine. They are discussing their options."
Elsewhere in the Vanity Fair article, Meghan was accused of being "cold and withholding" towards staff, taking the idea for her Archetypes podcast from another employee, and acting like a "Mean Girls teenager", while it was claimed that Harry had failed to make friends in the half-a-decade since moving Stateside.
The Sussexes insist their marriage is solid.
Despite the scathing write-up about the couple, who tied the knot in 2018, and share children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, the article did go on to say how deeply in love they are.
One source told the publication: "They are so hot for each other. Like, you know how you meet those couples where you’re like, 'The way they’re looking at each other, I should probably not be here right now'."
In a move that would have made his mother "proud", according to Harry's uncle, last week the jubilant royal exile elicited an "unequivocal apology" from News Group Newspapers, plus a huge payout, for "serious intrusion" into his private life and that of Diana, Princess of Wales by UK tabloids.
Harry's $12million privacy payout left Earl Spencer proud of his nephew's marathon court fight.
He received a pay-out of around $12million.
"It's wonderful that Harry fought for, and gained, an apology to his mother," his uncle Earl Spencer said afterward, adding: "She would be incredibly touched at that, and rightly proud."
Harry had vowed to make his crusade against the newspapers that harmed him and those closest to him his "life's work".
And he is also now preparing another court fight over the future safety of his children.

Harry's upcoming security court battle could help mend his relationship with King Charles if he wins.
