PRINCE Harry’s moaning overshadowed important work done by Royal Family and he needs to move on, an expert claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, slammed the Firm in an unexpected 30 minute BBC interview on Friday.
Harry said in the sit down chat he still hopes for reconciliation – despite repeatedly attacking the Royal Family.
The prince also admitted that King Charles refuses to speak to him “because of this security stuff”.
In a thoughtless throw away comment, the Duke said he “doesn’t know how long King Charles has left”.
The dad-of-two then revealed he “can’t see a world” where he would bring his wife and children to the UK due to the security loss.
Despite saying he felt “let down” by his country and blaming the issue on his father – he said several times how he wants reconciliation.
Harry told how he has “forgiven” his family after describing his court loss as a “good old fashioned establishment stitch up”.
His incendiary claims came just days before the royals stepped out on Buckingham Palace balcony to mark the 80th anniversary VE Day celebrations.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun she thought the Duke “looked very stressed” but “absolutely determined” during his interview.
“Determined to say it’s not his fault that he wants full time top notch security, and it’s not his fault that he’s had it taken away,” she explained.
“Harry, is incapable of taking any blame, and he seemed very contradictory and very stubborn.
“He said himself that he is stubborn, but he really is. He just keeps on and on and on, and I think people get very tired of that.”
During the interview, the Firm were reportedly horrified that Harry made comments about the King’s health.
In a throw away remark he said: “I don’t know how long he has left”.
This comes as the Monarch, 76, continues his brave battle with cancer.
Ms Seward said: “Harry never thinks.
“He insinuates his father won’t see his grandchildren again, but but you know his grandchildren do have another grandfather, and they never mentioned that.
“I think Harry is incapable, or appears incapable, of just remaining quiet.”
‘SENDING A MESSAGE’
The day after the Duke’s bombshell interview, wife Meghan Markle posted a photo on Instagram with no caption.
It showed Harry walking with Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, on his shoulders.
The royal expert claimed it looked “posed” and “wasn’t random”.
“I think that it obviously they must have known that would be taken as a slight against Harry’s father, the King, it would be very difficult to think that it wasn’t,” she slammed.
“I think Meghan was just sending him a message to her father-in-law, or if she wasn’t, it looked like that.
“It looked like she was saying, ‘look what you’re missing. Here’s your son, and here and here are your two grandchildren that you probably won’t see'”.
Despite the dad-of-two claiming he wants to build bridges with his family, Ms Seward said “none of them trust him”.
“He’s untrustworthy, and he obviously has a very fragile ego, I mean, when you meet Harry, he’s very intense,” she continued.
“He always has been, and I don’t think he will leave this alone, because he gets something into his head, and he just keeps on and on and on at it.
“He just keeps rattling the cage.”
Ms Seward also said she feels Harry should be “hanging out” with his cousins from Harry’s side of the family.
“They should be should be, seeing the country that they that their father was born in that Archie was born in,” she added.
“I don’t know what Harry and Meghan will do, but I just don’t think Harry’s going to give up. I think he’s going to go on and on, sort of shaking the barrel.”
The timing of Harrys interview came as even more of a blow to the royals as it landed just before VE Day celebrations.
Both Prince Harry and Prince Andrew were absent from the occasion.
While the Duke of York was spotted looking rather glum on a horse ride at Royal Lodge, Harry may have felt “homesick”, said Ms Seward.
“I do wonder if Harry actually had any idea that when he gave that interview that it was going to cast a shadow over the royal celebrations,” she said.
“I shouldn’t think he even thought about that, but if he did. It was very calculated.
“I think the mood of it was wrong. I think that that the Harry should never have given that interview. He should have, just gone home and got on with his life.”
‘LAPSE IN STANDARDS’
Meanwhile, the BBC today admitted a “lapse in standards” over it’s coverage of Prince Harry’s court loss.
In a statement the broadcaster has now said: “The programme covered the latest developments in the story of Prince Harry and his legal case around protection for him and his family in the UK and interviewed former close protection officer Richard Aitch to get a broader understanding of security considerations.
“Claims were repeated that the process had been ‘an establishment stitch-up’ and we failed to properly challenge this and other allegations.
“This case is ultimately the responsibility of the Home Office and we should have reflected their statement: ‘We are pleased that the Court has found in favour of the Government’s position in this case.
“‘The UK Government’s protective security system is rigorous and proportionate. It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on those arrangements, as doing so could compromise their integrity and affect individuals’ security.”
“We also should have given the view of Buckingham Palace: ‘All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.’
“This was a lapse in our usual high editorial standards.”
After the interview, Buckingham Palace had broken its silence with a scathing statement.
A spokesperson said: “All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.”
This comes as Harry is set to miss his son Archie’s sixth birthday as he heads back to Las Vegas without Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex will head to the Nevada city to launch a new initiative in collaboration with The Diana Award today, the same day as Archie’s celebration.
His scheme, Pledge To Invest, is designed as an “opportunity for forward-thinking businesses to make a strategic, measurable and high-impact investment in the future of youth leadership.”
Harry will also meet two young recipients of The Legacy Award on his trip to Las Vegas, while Archie enjoys his birthday at home with Meghan in Montecito.
The award, set up in memory of his late mother, honours exceptional social action and humanitarian work.
