Public revelations by the Duke of Sussex, intended to repair relations with his family, are causing deep concern at the palace and are finally undermining the monarchy's trust in the prince, The Blast writes. According to royal experts, Prince Harry is making a "big mistake" that risks finally destroying his chances of reconciliation with his father, King Charles III, and his older brother William, the website infohub.kz reports.
The desire to restore peace in the family became the main theme of an interview with GQ magazine, recorded in New York and published on October 20. Harry stressed that in the current situation, reconciliation with his loved ones is the most important thing. He also noted that he is unfairly criticized for speaking out, while others were allowed for years to tell their versions of events.
However, analysts are certain that such revelations only push the Windsors away. Commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that any peace offering is devalued as soon as it reaches the press. According to him, Harry has proven that he cannot be trusted, and his earlier scandalous memoirs and statements have caused irreparable damage to relations. Expert Helena Chard added that the revelations only confirm Prince William's long-standing fears: any private conversations will inevitably become public knowledge.
TV presenter Ian Pelham Turner holds a different view. He believes the monarchy itself made a mistake by stripping Harry and Meghan Markle of their royal duties. Turner criticized the decision to deprive the couple of their official status, calling it humiliating. According to Hilary Fordwich, the king sincerely dreams of uniting the family, while William is categorical. Tension was also heightened by the couple's recent visit to charity events in Nottingham, which resembled a tour by monarchs.
