Prince Harry tells court he was ‘ashamed’ of catching ‘kissing disease’ in 2002

Prince Harry caught mono in 2002 — and he felt “ashamed” when his “kissing disease” made headlines.

He noted that he is “not sure how anyone outside of [his] immediate family knew” about it.

“The whole school seemed to know, no one would go near me and I was a bit of a laughing stock,” Harry added. “I was miserable.”

He was “teased endlessly” after the whole country knew about his diagnosis.
