However, Edward Charles Featherstone, a pseudonymous former polo-playing pal of Harry, dismisses the portrayal of Harry as a victim in an exclusive interview with the Mirror. Featherstone, who has written a book titled 'The Rude Beginning,' expressed disappointment in Harry's memoir, stating that it paints him as a victim, which he believes is far from the truth. Edward has penned a letter to Harry, encouraging him to move past the victim narrative and reminding him of his role as the torchbearer of the Invictus.
While the letter is yet to be published, Edward contemplates making it public on platforms like the H2Z website or The Rude Chronicles. He emphasizes the inappropriateness of Harry's actions towards his family, urging him to reconsider. The source also reveals that Meghan's polo friend criticizes her behavior, accusing her of negatively influencing Harry by teaching him to perpetually complain and embrace victimhood for attention. This pattern of behavior has reportedly hurt the royal family.
As both King Charles and Princess Kate undergo recent procedures, the Sussexes have remained silent. Royal expert Angela Lean suggests that Prince Harry, torn between his love for the royal family and his allegiance to Meghan, is in a challenging position. Lean believes that Meghan demands no contact with the family, putting Harry in a difficult spot. Despite Harry's silence on recent family matters during an award acceptance speech, Lean asserts that Harry's deep-down love for his family persists, but Meghan takes precedence.
The RO commentator adds that Meghan has never shown respect for the royal family, and Harry has been influenced negatively in that regard. According to Levan, Harry tried to explain royal protocols to help Meghan, but her lack of concern for such matters has contributed to their strained relationship.
