Esther Krakue, a prominent writer, shared insights on this matter during an interview with Sky News Australia. She emphasized the firm's apprehension regarding the impact Prince Harry could have on the public's focus. The Duke of Sussex is set to land in the UK on September 7 to attend the WellChild Awards, scheduled just a day before the nation commemorates the late monarch's one-year death anniversary.
Krakue expressed a particular concern: "One of the concerns is that him being here (in London) - him giving that speech at the WellChild Awards, might shift attention away from the one-year anniversary of the Queen's passing to whatever Prince Harry has going on." This potential shift in focus, she noted, is causing unease within the royal circle.
Even if Prince Harry maintains a low-profile visit without any controversial actions, Krakue highlighted that the sheer media attention surrounding his presence could be enough to overshadow the royal family.
"Even if he doesn't engage in anything contentious, even if he participates solely as a private citizen, delivering his speech and then heading off to his commitments in Düsseldorf... the media attention around him will remain," she concluded, adding to the royal family's concerns about the spotlight being diverted from them.
