British Royal Family’s prodigal son Prince Harry has once again stood in front of TV cameras to dwell at length on his grievances with the UK’s government, his own family and his father King Charles, who ‘won’t speak to him’.
This comes as Harry lost his three-and-a-half-year battle to retain his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK.
Harry is now facing widespread criticism ‘for sparking speculation surrounding His Majesty’s health’ in his BBC interview, after he shockingly said he didn’t ‘know how much longer’ King Charles has left to live.
Daily Mail reported:
“‘There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,’ he said: ‘Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things but… there’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.’
He continued: ‘Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile’.”
After his shocking interview, former press secretary to late Queen Elisabeth, Alisa Anderson, branded his comments about the King’s health ‘unhelpful’.
“Commenting that the royal family would be ‘raising their eyes heavenwards’ [Anderson] told Sky News: ‘That’s going to cause real concern and more speculation in the media and the wider public about what his diagnosis is, which is incredibly unhelpful going forward. What you don’t want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So, if you truly want reconciliation, you’ll do it in private, not in a BBC News interview’.”
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams: “He believes that the Royal household is completely poisoned against him. This is where you get the conspiracy aspect, you could even argue there is a fantasy aspect of it. He believes that there are very malign forces out to get him or out to get him and his family. He believes there are those who want him to be in a vulnerable state.”
Buckingham Palace sources add that Charles hoped to reconcile with Harry before the interview aired, depending on his reaction to his legal loss.
“During the shocking interview, Prince Harry also chillingly insinuated his downgraded security status could leave him and his family to suffer the same fate as the late Princess Diana, who died in a fatal car crash in Paris in 1997.”
Diana died when the car she was travelling in crashed into the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris while followed by paparazzi.
