Prince William and Prince Harry have had a strained relationship since the duke moved to the US

"The Royal Family will not be getting back together again," a royal commentator has claimed after Prince Harry's latest bombshell interview.

The Duke of Sussex sat down with ITV for a new documentary named Tabloids on Trial, exploring the royal's fight against the British press.


In the interview, Harry claimed that his determination to fight the British tabloids is a "central piece" to his fallout with his family.

The relationship between Harry and the royals has been strained since he moved to the US with his wife Meghan Markle in January 2020 and took part in several damning interviews about life as a royal.

Speaking about his comments in the latest documentary, former royal reporter Charles Rae said: "I don't think the documentary is going to help anything at all. Let's not forget what's happened in the past.

"The Oprah Winfrey interview in which his wife made an amazing allegation of a racist in the Royal Family, and he wrote Spare.

"They did a whole series of six-part series on Netflix, putting a bucket load over the various members of the Royal Family.

"All that is contributes to the fact that this is not going to be a family getting back together again.

"I mean, it is massive naivety if he is blaming everybody else. I just don't understand why he can't take responsibility for his own behaviour and his own actions."

GB News host Ben Leo pointed out: "The comparison to his brother, Prince William... It's a stark contrast, really, with how they've both handled the tragic death of their mother.

"William, as far as I understand, has a problem with the press, of course, but he kind of gets his head down. He knows how to handle it.

"He knows that he's going to need them at some point in his life, and he holds himself with dignity and just cracks on with it, especially at a time when his wife is sick and his father's sick.

"Harry meanwhile, it's a stark contrast, isn't it, the way he's been behaving in recent years."

Rae responded: "Well, it is a stark contrast. Harry was the darling of the tabloids. At one stage he was the cheeky chappie, he was the Prince Louis of his day. He was a soldier and served with great distinction. He did two tours of Afghanistan and set up the Invictus Games.

"I think he forgets all about all the praise that was heaped upon him at that time. You know, it's just the nasty stuff. Tabloids have done it again."

Harry responded: "There is more than enough attention on me and my wife anyway. There was... they pushed me too far. It got to a point where you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.

"I don't think there's anybody else in the world that is better suited and placed to be able to see this through than myself.

"It's still dangerous. And all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff, to act on what they have read...

"And whether it's a knife or acid, whatever it is. And these are things that are a genuine concern for me. It's one of the reasons why I won't bring my wife back to this country."
