A royal expert has claimed that the Queen is ‘not the same anymore’ after her grandson Prince Harry’s ‘ruthlessly cruel’ behavior.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, recently spoke strongly of how he hated living life in the public eye when he was still a working royal.
In an interview with actor Dax Shepard, Harry described life growing up as a member of the royal family as ‘a mix between being in a zoo and The Truman Show.’
Palace expert Angela Levin said he felt Harry was selfish for his remarks as the Queen and other members of the royal family are still grieving following Prince Philip’s death.
“This lack of understanding of anyone else’s position, for Prince Charles, who as we saw when the funeral took place, he was absolutely devastated to lose his father,” she told Good Morning Britain.
“And the Queen, at 95, bravely went to open Parliament again but you could tell she wasn’t the same Queen.
“She’s desperately upset, she adores Harry. And Prince Charles has done his best. So, it is unspeakably, ruthlessly cruel.”
During the interview, Harry said he was committed to protecting his family by staying away from ‘pain and suffering’ he had endured.
“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered,” he said.
“I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically.”
His remarks have been perceived by many people as a criticism of his father Prince Charles’ parenting style.
It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, ‘You know what, that happened to me — I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you,’” he added.
The duke also discussed his struggles growing up in the spotlight.
He said he would always think: “I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to be doing this, look what it did to my mum. How am I ever going to settle down and have a wife and family when I know it’s going to happen again. I’ve seen behind the curtain.”
