In a recent interview for the ITV documentary, “Tabloids on Trial,” Prince Harry has once again stirred up controversy.

The Duke of Sussex, known for his candid nature and ongoing feud with the British media, has attempted to deflect blame for his legal battles onto the royal family.

He claims that his determination to combat tabloid intrusion has been a key factor in the rift between him and his relatives.

However, Harry’s latest attempt to seek sympathy and cast himself as a victim has been met with widespread skepticism and even mockery from both the public and royal commentators.

The interview aimed to showcase Harry’s struggle against media giants but instead highlighted his apparent reluctance to take responsibility for his actions and their impact on his relationships.

Throughout the documentary, Harry recounts the intrusive tactics used by tabloids, such as extensive phone hacking and unlawful information gathering, to obtain stories about him over the years.

He describes the harassment as distressing then and now.

Despite this, many have pointed out that Harry’s own actions, including high-profile interviews and the release of a tell-all book with Meghan, have also strained his relationship with the royal family.

Reflecting on the past four years with his wife and children, Harry expresses feeling pushed to a breaking point.

He laments, “You’re damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’t.”

Critics argue that Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from royal duties and move to the United States was perceived as a betrayal by many within the family.

Moreover, Harry’s claim that the late Queen Elizabeth II supported his legal battles against the tabloids has been met with doubt.

While the queen valued her family’s privacy, it is believed she would have preferred a more discreet approach to handling the media.

Harry’s statement, “There’s no one better placed to see this through than myself,” has been criticized for its irony.

The backlash against Harry’s interview has been swift and severe.

Royal commentators accuse him of playing the victim and lacking self-awareness.

Some question his motives and the timing of his legal battles.

One Mumsnet user questioned, “Is there anyone more delusional and lacking in self-awareness than Harry?”

Others highlight the hypocrisy of Harry and Meghan’s actions, citing instances where they allegedly used the media to their advantage.

The fallout from Harry’s interview has further strained his relationship with the royal family.

Speculation arises that reconciling with his relatives may become even more challenging.

As Harry continues his legal battles against the tabloids, the question remains whether he can mend the damage to his reputation and standing within the royal family.
