In an unexpected twist, music icon Elton John has taken a firm stance against Prince Harry, labeling him as “the worst thing to have happened to the royal family” in a recent outburst.

This dramatic condemnation follows Harry’s latest comments regarding his ongoing feud with the British royal family, which he attributes to his battle against tabloid media.

During a documentary titled *Tabloids on Trial*, aired on ITV, Harry reiterated his belief that the media is primarily responsible for the rift between him and the Windsors.

Speaking with interviewer Rebecca Barry, he expressed that his fight against the press is a significant factor in the deterioration of his familial relationships.

“Yeah, that’s certainly a central piece to it,” he remarked, his ginger locks partially obscuring his face.

However, he also acknowledged the complexities of discussing his family, noting that any remarks often lead to backlash from the media.

This self-serving narrative did not sit well with Elton John, who was a close friend of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.

In a pointed response, John criticized Harry for what he perceives as an insatiable obsession with the media, branding it as not only tiresome but also a blatant attempt to divert attention from his own missteps.

“His constant, obsessive campaign against the British press is not only tiresome and pathetic,” John declared, “but a transparent attempt to deflect from his own shameful behavior.”

John did not hold back, asserting that Harry’s estrangement from the royal family stems from his own reckless actions rather than the tabloids.

“Let’s be honest here,” he stated, “the reason Prince Harry is no longer welcome in the royal fold has nothing to do with the tabloids and everything to do with his own reckless actions and entitled, hypocritical attitude.” This strong critique paints Harry as someone who has jeopardized his royal ties while scapegoating the press for his troubles.

The legendary musician went further, stating that Harry has tarnished the Windsor name and burned bridges in his quest for sympathy.

“He has the audacity to blame it all on the press?”

John exclaimed, emphasizing the absurdity of Harry’s claims.

His comments reflect a growing frustration among many who believe that Harry’s actions, rather than external factors, are at the heart of his issues with the royal family.

Drawing on his relationship with Diana, John lamented her son’s current behavior, suggesting that she would be deeply disappointed.

“Diana would be rolling in her grave to see how her son has behaved,” he said, illustrating his dismay over Harry’s transformation into what he calls a “self-important” figure.

This characterization of Harry as a “petulant child” showcases John’s belief that the Duke is failing to mature in the face of adversity.

In John’s view, Harry’s portrayal of himself as a crusader against the media is merely a façade.

“Harry likes to portray himself as this great crusader against the evils of the press,” he pointed out, “but the reality is he’s just a spoiled, attention-seeking brat who can’t handle any criticism.”

This stark depiction resonates with many who are weary of Harry’s seemingly endless complaints.

The backlash against Harry is mounting, with numerous royal commentators echoing John’s sentiments.

Royal biographer Angela Levin noted that while the tabloids may have contributed to the discord, Harry’s own behavior and sense of entitlement are the true culprits behind his fractured relationships.

“Harry has no one to blame but himself for the mess he’s made of his relationships with the royals,” she stated, reinforcing the notion that accountability lies with the Duke.

With Elton John now adding his voice to the chorus of criticism, it appears that Harry’s reputation may be facing further scrutiny.

The musician’s sharp remarks are likely to resonate with many Britons who are growing tired of Harry’s self-pitying narrative and refusal to accept responsibility for his actions.

As the fallout from Harry’s documentary continues to unfold, the question remains: will the Prince take heed of the warnings from those who care about him, or will he persist in his path of self-victimization?

The answer could shape the future of his relationship with both the royal family and the public.
