A former senior aide to Queen Elizabeth II has issued a stark message to Prince Harry, urging him to stop portraying himself as a victim. The aide, who worked closely with the late monarch, suggested that the Duke of Sussex should focus on moving forward rather than dwelling on past grievances.
The comments come amid ongoing tensions between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family, particularly following the release of his memoir, Spare, which detailed his struggles within the institution.
A Call for Change
The former aide emphasised that while Harry's feelings are valid, constantly revisiting his grievances is not productive. 'It's time to stop playing the victim and start looking to the future,' the aide was quoted as saying.
This advice reflects a growing sentiment among royal watchers that Harry and Meghan Markle should shift their focus away from their rift with the monarchy and concentrate on their philanthropic efforts in the United States.
Public Reaction
The public response to the aide's remarks has been mixed. Some supporters of the Sussexes argue that Harry has every right to speak his truth, while others believe it's time for the couple to move on.
Royal experts suggest that this latest intervention could further strain relations between Harry and the royal family, particularly as King Charles seeks to modernise the monarchy.
