“Self-centered hypocrite”, “spoiled child”... the British press doesn’t mince words about Prince Harry these days. The Duke of Sussex has reignited already existing tensions by demanding full police protection on his family’s trips to the UK. For this, the exiled prince did not hesitate to initiate legal proceedings which tense everyone, from the tabloids to the monarchy. But a royal expert believes there is a hidden reason behind this frontal attack.
“She will never return to this country”
“I think Meghan is never going to go back to this country and I think that’s a very good excuse not to go there anymore”, says author Phil Dampier. “I don’t think Harry really expects to win this case”, he adds. “Harry could come, but that gives Meghan a good excuse not to be there and not bring the children”, we still read as the long-awaited jubilee of Elizabeth II is fast approaching. As a reminder, the former actress did not make it to the UK after their move to California and the Queen was never able to meet Lilibet.
“While his role within the Institution has changed, his label as a member of the royal family has not, or the danger that he and his family face”, said a spokesperson for the prince in the media to justify this strong choice. It remains to know the true nature of this posture.
