Renowned journalist Nicholas Wichel, who is retiring after a successful 25-year broadcasting career, has recently expressed his thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Throughout his illustrious career, Wichel has honed his skills by tirelessly covering royal events.

However, a significant incident occurred during a live broadcast outside Buckingham Palace in May 2019, when the arrival of baby Archie was announced.

This unexpected turn of events has sparked online speculation about Wichel’s well-being.

In an article for the Sunday Times prior to his retirement, Wichel shared his perspective on what transpired during the broadcast, offering a scathing critique of Prince Harry and Meghan.

He described it as the most challenging moment of his 48-year career, as he found himself standing before a live television audience.

He admitted that he may have lacked genuine interest in the story at the time.

Reflecting on the incident, Wichel confessed to feeling tired and losing his enthusiasm for the job, which led to complacency.

As he learned firsthand, complacency can have serious consequences on live television.

Following the incident, Wichel received overwhelming support from the public.

Fellow actors, who had experienced similar mishaps on stage, reached out to him, sharing their own experiences.

Despite this support, Wichel admitted that he has been unable to revisit the moment, as it significantly shook his confidence.

He also delved into the birth of Archie, highlighting that it deviated from royal protocol and was a rather chaotic affair.

Rumors circulated both at the time and since then, suggesting that the Kensington Palace’s birth announcement on their website implied that Archie was born via a surrogate.

The message remained on the site for several hours before being taken down due to alleged hacking.

Wichel pointed out that such hacking incidents had never occurred before or since, raising questions about whether commentators and journalists possess inside knowledge.

Unfortunately, they are unable to discuss these matters publicly.

When discussing Prince Harry’s recent attacks on the British media, Wichel did not hold back, describing them as paranoid and misguided.

He suggested that Harry and Meghan should have been more resilient and utilized the media instead of criticizing it.

Wichel believes that, had they been more patient and less inclined to view everyone as enemies, they could have achieved more as members of the royal family.

Furthermore, he dismissed rumors claiming that Buckingham Palace had been against Harry and Meghan from the beginning.

According to Wichel, the palace made sincere efforts to be responsive and sympathetic to their needs.

However, he acknowledged that more could have been done, attributing the difficulties to a clash of cultures that indicated Harry’s unsuitability for the role.

Wichel also criticized Harry and Meghan’s fixation on media images, deeming it unhealthy.

He emphasized that their preoccupation with the media was causing them to miss out on various opportunities.
