Prince Harry ‘has to ask himself question’ after putting King in ‘awkward position'
GB NEWS
Prince Harry has been urged to “ask himself” what he really wants to achieve with his legal battle against the publisher of The Sun newspaper.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold spoke to GB News about the revelation that the King tried to prevent Harry, 40, from pursuing the matter.
His case concerns “blagging” accusations, which means obtaining details about him by deception - and other unlawful invasions of privacy.
Harrold questioned why the duke is continuing the pursue the matter given how his father objected to him doing so.

“Harry, on quite a few occasions has done it how he wants, but this is good advice from the King”, he said.
“We’re thinking, ‘not another one’, and it comes like that. It’s not great for the Royal Family having all these ongoing legal battles.

“I’m not saying there’s not a reason, he feels like he has to do this. But at the end of the day, what do you get out of it?
“That is the question he should ask himself.”
GB News’s Dawn Neesom put it to Harrold that Harry has likely caused the King “another level of worry” as a result of his legal travails.
He responded: “The King isn’t a worrier but these things will definitely concern him.

“Family is everything to him and I’m sure part of him is disheartened. There are so many others he could be focusing on and highlighting.
“It’s vital the Royal Family work together. Harry does work with the press and uses them when he needs them, but he can’t suddenly have these battles going on.
“The Royal Family have these working relationships and I thought Harry would be better focused on doing that.
“He should be working with the media rather than against them and having these battles.”

The duke was granted access to Buckingham Palace emails sent between two of the most senior members of the Royal household and specific senior executives at News Group Newspapers (NGN) on Friday.
David Sherborne, Harry’s barrister, told the court the emails could help uncover alleged secret negotiations between the publisher and the palace.
He said: “Emails between NGN and the palace would be highly relevant in terms of providing the full picture not only as to the actual knowledge of the claimant but also as to the position in relation to constructive knowledge, based on what the palace was being told by NGN.”
The judge said: “It seems to me that there is a limited category of documents where despite the element of delay, and despite the relative lateness of the application, there is a credible case for saying a full picture is necessary in the interest of justice.
“I will, however, limit the documents that are being sought.”
