Prince Harry Faces Backlash Over Royal Family Rift

Prince Harry has found himself at the center of criticism for his desire to have it all, along with every advantage, in a scathing response from experts.

During a conversation with today's host Richard Wilkins, Daily Mirror's Royal Editor Russell Myers alleged that the Prince's expectations were unrealistic.

Wilkins directly challenged Harry's stance, emphasizing, “You can't have your cake and eat it too, Russell, you know.”

The mere mention of Oprah Winfrey seemed to encapsulate the ongoing controversy surrounding the Prince's actions.

Myers, drawing on insights from well-connected sources within the palace, highlighted the prevailing discontent among key figures.

The tension escalated as Myers asserted, “You can't go on an international television interview with Oprah Winfrey, airing grievances about your treatment within the family, and then expect to reconcile with them while continuing to engage with the media.”

The call for Prince Harry to extend an olive branch to the royal family resounded loudly, especially after the Duke of Sussex had hoped for an apology from them.

Despite returning to the royal sphere for the Queen's Jubilee celebrations, Harry and Meghan Markle's seating arrangement spoke volumes about their altered status within the monarchy.

Seated conspicuously behind senior royals such as the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Harry and Meghan found themselves placed in a secondary position.

Royal observer Cat emphasized the importance of Harry initiating amends with an apology, stating, “If Harry truly seeks reconciliation, an apology should have been his starting point, considering the disparaging remarks he has made.”

The sentiment was echoed by Us Weekly's Royally Us host Christina Garibaldi, underscoring the widespread support for the royal family amidst the ongoing discord.

Despite their subdued presence during the Jubilee celebrations, Harry's expectation of an apology from the royal family remains steadfast following the revelations made during the Oprah Winfrey interview.

Notably, royal biographer Angela Levin expressed her belief that Harry's disappointment at being overlooked was misplaced.

Levin contended that Harry's demand for an apology was unfounded, emphasizing the need for mutual respect in fostering reconciliation.

The public appearance marked a significant moment for Harry and Meghan, as it was their first formal engagement alongside the Windsors since relinquishing their senior royal titles amid the tumultuous Megxit saga.

Their procession, guided by Lieutenant Colonel Sir Alexander Matheson of Matheson, underscored Harry's position as sixth in line to the throne and symbolized a nod to tradition.

Meghan's poised demeanor in a chic Dior ensemble contrasted with Harry's more introspective expressions, hinting at the underlying complexities within the royal family dynamics.

The lack of overt interactions captured on camera between Harry and key members of the royal family, including Prince William and Prince Charles, hinted at the enduring rifts within the monarchy.

Meghan's graceful presence alongside Kate Middleton further underscored the existing tensions within the family.

Reflecting on the past year, the fallout from Harry and Meghan's explosive Oprah interview, where they levied accusations of racism against an unnamed royal member, continues to reverberate throughout the institution.
