“While the public is entitled to an apology from the newspaper for its dangerous comments, we would not be in this position if the Sun had not continued to exploit and profit from hatred, violence and misogyny,” a spokesman for Harry and Meghan said. . “A real apology would be a conversion to the subjects they cover and their ethical standards for good. Unfortunately, we keep a small basket,” he added.
