Prince Harry is caught in the crossfire of the British boulevard again after critical remarks about his father Prince Charles.
California / London – Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has spoken again about his royal family. This time it was about his upbringing, especially his relationship with his father Prince Charles. For weeks, the English gossip press has been reporting on the quarrels between the couple Harry and Meghan, who now live in the USA, with the royal family in Great Britain. Harry and Meghan raised accusations of racism against employees of the royal family and the royal family itself in a TV interview with Oprah Winfrey. In a new interview, Harry described life in the English royal family as a mixture of The Truman Show and a zoo, as The Guardian writes .

In the podcast Armchair Expert Podcast with the American actor Dax Shepard, Prince Harry speaks about his new job as “Chief Impact Officer” for the startup “BetterUp”, for which he wants to initiate “critical dialogues about mental health”. The prince and grandson of the Queen also mentioned his childhood. He does not want to blame anyone, but if he has suffered suffering that his father Prince Charles or his parents may already have, he will make sure that he breaks this cycle of “genetic pain,” said Harry. Parents should do their best not to pass their suffering on to their own children. He knows that he was treated the way Prince Charles himself was treated.
Harry said he noticed in his 20s that a royal job wasn’t going to make him happy. He felt that moving to the USA with his wife Meghan was an escape from a cycle of “pain and suffering”.
After the renewed critical remarks about the English royals, the prince is again targeted by the English gossip newspapers. The Daily Mail headlined on Friday (May 14th, 2021) “Just How Low Can Harry Go? (How low can Harry sink?). The British Sun describes Harry as “shameless”.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have already led several legal disputes against British tabloids. Harry’s late mother Princess Diana was caught in the crossfire of the boulevard again and again. Her death, in a car accident, is often seen in the context of fleeing from the paparazzi. Harry and Meghan are expecting their second child. They are already parents of two year old Archie. (dpa)
