Prince Harry Reportedly Losing Respect Among Friends Over Royal Family Criticisms

Prince Harry’s criticism of the Royal Family has reportedly cost him the respect of some close friends back in the UK. According to sources, the Duke of Sussex’s comments about his life and family after marrying Meghan Markle in 2018 have upset many in his inner circle.

Royal expert Rebecca English recently shared insights on the strained relationships in her column, writing, “I was told of one former confidant, who for many years couldn’t have been closer to Harry, who was so disgusted by his behavior – and, in particular, by some of the things he apparently said privately about his family – that they vowed never to talk to him again. And they haven’t.”

Alongside these reports, royal commentator Phil Dampier weighed in on the complexities of Harry’s current situation with his wife, Meghan Markle. Dampier believes that Meghan is deeply focused on her professional ventures, especially her upcoming projects with Netflix and the American Riviera Orchard. “She probably wants a bit of a hiatus so that she can launch that,” he explained. As for Harry, Dampier noted that he’s been involved in his own charitable work, making trips between the US and UK for various causes.

Dampier suggests that while the couple’s professional interests may be taking them in different directions, there’s no evidence of a personal split. “They do seem to be going their separate ways professionally, but there’s no indication they’re splitting up at the moment personally,” he said.

Prince Harry’s departure from the Royal Family in 2020, alongside Meghan and their son, Archie, was a significant turning point. The couple later shared their grievances about alleged racism and lack of support from the Royal Family, claims that shook the monarchy and widened the rift.

Now settled in California, they welcomed their daughter, Lilibet, in 2021, and have continued to pursue their new life in the US, balancing family with high-profile projects and advocacy work. As Harry continues to navigate his personal and professional life, it seems that his outspoken views on the Royal Family have created lasting tensions, not only within his family but also with friends who once supported him.
