A leading Royal Family expert has given her verdict on Prince Harry‘s latest stunning televised interview, saying he’s “bristling with anger and resentment and mistrust” of the royal household.
The Duke of Sussex made a string of admissions when speaking to BBC News in California after losing an appeal over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to if and when they visit the UK. Former BBC royal correspondent gave her reaction to the interview from the prince. Jennie Bond told Sky News: “He’s bristling with anger and resentment and mistrust of the royal household, and despair over his father’s attitude, I suppose. It’s just such a sad and sorry saga. I would hope there might be some kind of reconciliation but although Harry says he wants reconciliation, he doesn’t think he can do that now.”
Ms Bond, who was the BBC‘s Royal Correspondent for 14 years, continued: “I thought, you know, where he said the other side have won in keeping me unsafe, that’s one heck of a statement, is it?
“He’s deeply, deeply angered, as he says. And I don’t know where he goes from here. He says he wants a reconciliation. Some will wonder why he didn’t say that sooner than now. Well, he seems to think the truth has to be established first.
“And obviously he feels, at the moment, there is some untruth going on still, as I say, he seems to be so full of mistrust of the royal household and anything to do with the palace, he feels that there is some kind of conspiracy, it would seem, that imprisoned him and imprisons others within that the palace walls really.
“And that, because he has been so brazen as to escape, he’s now being punished, that clearly, is how he feels.
“And he does not believe that he can bring his children back to meet their grandfather, even though, in his own words, he doesn’t know how long his his father has got to live.”
