Clashing Royals: Harry and Charles, A Modern Struggle
Harry, Prince fuels tension with King Charles as he preserves Diana's legacy
Prince Harry's latest interview with BBC has allegedly left King Charles "boiling mad" and "disappointed." The Duke of Sussex, known for his straight-shooting demeanor, labelled the UK's security appeal as a typical "institutional stitch-up."
Many authority figures speculate that the late Queen Elizabeth would have been dismayed by her grandson's action. However, a close confidant of Princess Diana offers a contrasting viewpoint.
Royal author Ingrid Seward shares Diana's probable sentiments over Harry's actions, noting that she might have been "pleased."
"I think she might have been proud," says Seward. "I’m guessing, she might have been quite thrilled of him for speaking up and saying what he thought."
Princess Diana was renowned for pushing boundaries, and her 1995 interview with Martin Bashir stood as a monumental testament to this. This interview saw her divulge her turmoil within the royal family, causing ripples across the monarchy.
Upon sharing her truth, Diana was initially a whirlwind of emotions. Seward reveals that the late princess was not disheartened by any backlash but instead felt liberated. In Seward's words, Diana was "not upset about what she said." In fact, she expressed contentment, stating, "No, I don't regret any of it."
Although Diana's interview was met with criticism within the royal ranks, it gave voice to countless people dealing with similar struggles, particularly with mental health and bullying.
Seward reveals that while Diana held no regrets about her candid interview, she did express some remorse about discussing her relationship with James Hewitt. However, she considered the interview a success overall.
One cannot help but see a resemblance between Harry's interview style and his mother's. Despite King Charles feeling "betrayed" by his son, Harry might have channeled the spirit of his resilient mother in his recent interview. Truly, history tends to repeat itself in the most unexpected ways.
