Prince Harry’s Struggle with His New Life in the US
Prince Harry, now living in Montecito with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, seems to be torn between his new life in the United States and his past as a member of the British royal family. Despite stepping away from royal duties in 2020, Harry has admitted that he “really misses being a prince”. His complex feelings about leaving his royal role have become a topic of discussion among royal commentators and experts.
Tina Brown Talks About the Rift Between the Brothers
Tina Brown, a royal author and close friend of Princess Diana, shared her thoughts on Prince Harry’s current situation in a recent interview. Brown, reflecting on the fractured relationship between Harry and his brother Prince William, stated that it seems difficult for the brothers to repair their bond.
"The relationship between the brothers sounds like it’s very hard to repair," Brown shared. "I think Harry would make it up, but I don’t think William can."
Harry's Future in the Royal Family: A Return is Unlikely
Brown went on to suggest that Prince Harry would never return to the royal family, regardless of his current feelings. However, she emphasized that Harry has the potential to perform royal duties with great skill, noting:
"Harry is the most talented in the family at human relations, like his mother."She added that Harry’s ability to connect with people and navigate the role of a prince was something that he excelled at, even if he may have initially felt conflicted about his royal position.
The Irony of Harry’s Feelings Toward Royal Life
Brown explained that Harry’s feelings about royal life were complex, saying:
"He really knows how to play the role of the prince. I think he really likes it. That’s what’s so ironic."Initially, Harry had expressed dissatisfaction with the palace’s restrictions, calling it "boring and oppressive." However, after living independently from the royal family for a few years, Brown believes Harry now misses being a prince, particularly because of how well he thrived in that role.
Meghan and Harry’s Desire to "Do Good" and the Power of the Royal Platform
During her conversation with The Daily Telegraph, Brown reflected on Harry and Meghan Markle’s aspirations to do good in the world. While the couple is passionate about social causes, Brown noted that the influence of a royal position offers a much stronger platform for creating change.
She gave the example of Princess Diana’s iconic moment with an AIDS patient:
-----"When Diana shook the hands of the AIDS patient without gloves, when royals always wore gloves before, how much more potent was it that she was a princess than if she’d simply been a celebrity?"This act, according to Brown, demonstrated how much more impactful a royal title could be in furthering causes compared to celebrity actions alone.
