Prince Harry takes "no accountability" for his actions and is now "dealing with the consequences," commentator Peter Barnes has claimed.
This comes as the duke will be appearing in a new documentary by ITV named Tabloids On Trial, due to air this evening, that discusses his varying court battles with the press.
In a preview clip from the documentary, journalist Becca Barry asked the royal: "To what extent do you think your determination to fight the tabloids destroyed your relationship with your family?"
Prince Harry replied: "It is certainly a central piece to it.

ITV"It is a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press."
Speaking about the documentary on GB News, Barnes said: "The thing that really annoys me about Prince Harry is he kind of refuses to take any accountability for his role in all of this situation.

"It always seems to be somebody else's fault. And I find that very problematic in a behavioral way.
"At first everyone was always like, oh, it's Meghan who is leading the charge on this stuff. I think Prince Harry was a willing volunteer in this from day one.
"I think he's now dealing with the consequences of his actions. And I don't think he knows how to deal with this."
"I think this interview is going say I might have messed up in court a couple of times, but I've still got a point and it kind of saving face interview."

He later added: "He looks very sad these days. Don't you think that about him now?
"I think he looks a bit haunted. I look at him from when he was in the army to look at him now.
"And I don't see the same person if I'm being brutally honest."
