Prince Harry‘s recent BBC interview has ignited fresh backlash, particularly over his emotional remarks concerning King Charles‘ health.

According to royal expert Jennie Bond, the Duke of Sussex may have gone “too far” in his comments, possibly realizing the consequences now that emotions have cooled.

The interview followed Harry‘s legal loss in the Court of Appeal, where he had challenged the UK government’s decision to reduce his security while visiting Britain.

Shortly after the ruling, Harry expressed feelings of being “stitched up” and claimed his father no longer speaks to him.

“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has … he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile,” he explained.

A misstep in the heat of the moment?

Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, believes Harry’s emotional state at the time clouded his judgment.

“I suspect that Harry said more than he had perhaps intended because he was consumed with anger,” she told The Mirror.

“He was, in his own words, ‘gutted and devastated’ by the court’s decision. And he was clearly seething with fury-rarely the best time to air your thoughts.”

She added that by referencing King Charles‘ ongoing cancer treatment, Harry ironically breached the very privacy he has so often demanded for himself and his family.

“That was a clear invasion of the privacy that Harry himself so covets. He might also realise that he has now lost the support of the vast majority of the British public.”

Harry’s legal battle dates back to 2020, when his official security detail changed after he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties and relocated to California.

The recent appeal sought to challenge the Home Office and Ravec’s decision, but the court upheld their stance that security would be evaluated case by case.

Bond expressed some sympathy for Harry’s concerns.

“It seems illogical that former Prime Ministers receive ongoing protection while Harry does not. But the decision has been reviewed in court multiple times, and the outcome has remained the same.”

She also pointed out that many other members of the Royal Family-excluding the King, Queen, and Prince William‘s immediate family-do not receive full police protection either.

“It’s not as if Harry has been told there will be no protection. It’s just not at the level he is demanding.”

While the interview dominated headlines, the Royal Family continued with official duties, particularly the 80th anniversary commemorations of VE Day.

The King, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared alongside their children for events at Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
