Prince Harry's latest Netflix documentary, in which he made fresh criticisms of the royal family just before his upcoming visit to the UK, has garnered no public response from his royal relatives.
King Charles, who reportedly didn't extend an invitation to his son Harry to join the family at Balmoral on the first anniversary of the Queen's passing, has remained silent regarding Harry's comments.
Other prominent members of the royal family, including Harry's elder brother Prince William and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, have also refrained from sharing their perspective in response to Harry's revelations in the documentary.
Prince Harry, it seems, is also hesitant to reconcile with his royal relatives prior to his European trip, as his recent remarks in "Heart of Invictus" appear to have further strained their relationship. In the documentary, he discussed the challenges he faced upon returning from Afghanistan after his military service and the emotional toll of losing his mother, Princess Diana, at the age of 12.
The release of Harry's new Netflix show has sparked a range of opinions from royal experts and fans. Many viewers have praised the series for spotlighting wounded veterans from various countries, including Britain, the USA, South Korea, Denmark, and Ukraine.
However, some have criticized Prince Harry for seemingly revisiting past grievances and taking veiled jabs at the Royal Family, particularly when he mentioned lacking a support network after returning from Afghanistan.
Laura Bundock, a royal correspondent for Sky News, noted that "Heart of Invictus" differs significantly from Harry's earlier Netflix series, "Harry & Meghan." She suggested that even those who may have criticized Harry in the past would likely view the Invictus Games project as a positive step forward.
According to Bundock, the royal family may not mind watching the series, as it highlights a commendable initiative. Another expert, after watching the documentary, remarked that the "old Prince Harry" appears to have returned.
