Peter Andre Slams Prince Harry: “He’s Thrown His Family Under the Bus”
In a fiery response to Prince Harry's controversial memoir, “Spare,” singer Peter Andre has come out swinging, accusing the Duke of Sussex of betraying his family.
Andre, 49, expressed his discontent with Harry's explosive revelations about his brother, Prince William, and their father, King Charles.
The singer's comments come on the heels of Harry's candid interviews promoting the book, which have stirred significant public debate.
Harry's memoir has sparked outrage, particularly for its claims about family dynamics.
In one shocking passage, he alleges that William physically assaulted him after criticizing Meghan Markle.
He also reveals that he pleaded with King Charles not to marry Camilla, fearing she would become a wicked stepmother.
These revelations have left many questioning the prince's motives and the impact of his words on the royal family.
In his column for New Magazine, Andre shared his disappointment, stating, “I'm so sad seeing all of the claims.” He acknowledged that while Harry may be grappling with trauma, continuously airing family grievances in public is troubling.
“There are other ways of dealing with trauma than publicly trashing your family,” he added, emphasizing the need for support rather than sensationalism.
Andre further criticized Harry's assertion that Camilla harbors ambitions for the throne, calling it “crazy and absurd.” He argued that it's illogical to believe someone would wait decades to ascend to such a position.
The singer suggested that Harry's bitterness stems from his late mother, Princess Diana, not being alive to fulfill that role.
He pointed out that the circumstances surrounding Harry's parents' marriage were influenced by historical family arrangements.
The singer also highlighted a contradiction in Harry's narrative regarding Camilla.
In one interview, he labeled her a wicked stepmother, yet in another, he praised her.
This inconsistency, Andre noted, is a recurring theme in Harry and Meghan's public statements.
He suggested that they often shift narratives and react defensively when questioned about their claims.
Tom Bradby, who interviewed Harry for ITV, has echoed similar sentiments, noting the prince's apparent instability during their conversation.
Andre referenced a breakdown of body language from an analysis that showcased how uncomfortable Bradby appeared when faced with Harry's accusations against the royal family.
Meanwhile, the fallout from Harry and Meghan's recent endeavors is evident in their declining popularity.
Following the release of their Netflix series and Harry's memoir, both have seen significant drops in approval ratings.
A recent poll by Redfield and Wilton for Newsweek revealed a staggering 45-point drop for Harry and a 36-point decline for Meghan in just over a month.
The poll results indicate that Harry's approval rating plummeted from 38% in early December to a shocking -7% by mid-January.
Meghan's numbers mirrored this decline, falling from 23% to -13%.
The survey, which included 2,000 participants, showed that only 31% of respondents liked Harry, while 38% disliked him.
Meghan's numbers were even lower, with just 26% expressing a favorable view and 39% disapproving.
Interestingly, the data suggests that women are slightly less inclined to support Meghan than men, which could indicate shifting perceptions among different demographics.
This trend raises questions about the couple's strategy in the United States, where they initially enjoyed considerable popularity.
As the dust settles from the release of “Spare,” it remains to be seen how these revelations will affect Harry and Meghan's future endeavors.
With their reputations taking a significant hit, the couple may need to reconsider their approach if they hope to regain the favor of the public.
