Prince Harry is going through one of the most complex moments since his decision to step away from the British monarchy. The recent ruling by the United Kingdom's Court of Appeals has been a major setback for the Duke of Sussex.
This ruling significantly reduces his police protection. Additionally, it has brought the controversy back to the forefront and increased public attention around him and the complicated relationship he keeps with his family.
The news of the loss of his security status led Harry to a candid interview with the BBC, where he confessed to feeling "devastated." He also showed the existing tension with his father, King Charles III.
The truth about Prince Harry is uncovered
This episode has prompted various royal experts to share their perspective. Robert Jobson, a recognized royal author, participated in the program Royal Exclusive to analyze the prince's situation.
Jobson stated that Harry always had "an advantage," and described his character as "quite irritable... to a certain extent." However, he also admitted that "he always had a touch of humor."
He also criticized certain attitudes of the duke. In this context, he assured that "he did certain things, I remember he did things with you that you didn't particularly like. Sometimes he was quite disrespectful," he pointed out.
Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl described the so-called "Megxit" as something desired. "It wasn't a surprise to me." Matt Wilkinson, editor of The Sun, expressed that "anyone who knows Harry knows that he has always wanted to be able to leave the Royal Family."
"He has said on several occasions that he wished he hadn't been born a prince. I think he is now truly living the life he desires. It's very sad that it happened this way."
Prince Harry and his bad moment with the Royal Family
In the interview, Harry also expressed a desire for reconciliation with his family. "Some members of my family will not forgive me for writing a book and will never forgive me for many other things. But I would love to reconcile with my family."
"There's no point in continuing to fight. Life is too precious." And he added a reflection on the ruling: "I'm sure many people, everyone who wishes to harm me, will have considered this a great victory."
Currently, Prince Harry resides in California with Meghan Markle, after leaving his official duties in 2020. This decision and the recent loss of protection consolidate a chapter full of family and public tensions, which keep public opinion on edge.
