The Duke of Sussex has sparked fury

Prince Harry was heavily criticised today on GB News by royal commentator Caroline Aston when she refused to hold back in a fiery rant.

She joined Ben Leo on GB News to discuss reports suggesting the Duke of Sussex is calling for an apology from his brother, Prince William.


Aston asked what the Prince of Wales has to apologise for as she began to lay into the estranged duke who made a rare visit to the UK last month.

“Who has asked Prince Harry to come back and do a bit of light royal work? The suggestion seems to run diametrically opposite to what his revered grandmother said, ‘you can’t be half in, half out’”, she said.

“To me, this is a typical Sussex ploy. He appears to be benevolent, offering to come back to share his gloss, his glitz, his panache yet again with the Royal Family in their time of trouble.

“As for trusted friends and advisers, they made jolly sure the press got to hear about this. No, no a thousand times no. We know the Prince of Wales does not want the prodigal prince at the Coronation when the sad moment his father dies comes.

“It’s all to do with publicity, all to do with marketing, as is so often the case. Of course, having tested the water and found it to be perhaps a little hypothermic for his taste publicity wise, we have Harry bringing in a little condition.

“He says, ‘I would do it if my brother apologised to me’, for what? For the sad saga of broken dog bowls?

“Don’t forget - the paperback of Spare is about the be released, and Harry has let it be known that with great kindness there won’t be any extra material in it. So why buy it?

“It’s all to do with marketing. Watch this space, the saga of the Sussexes, it keeps on giving. The oxygen of publicity, they can’t get enough of it.”

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and their public showings in Britain have been few and far between since.

The duke has cited a security row, which came about when the high grade protection he was once afforded for being a working Royal Family member ceased.

He has made a handful of visits to Britain this year, all being fleeting.

A showing at the Invictus Games 10th anniversary ceremony is said not to have been followed by any meetings with members of the royal household like his cancer-stricken father King Charles.

He did, however, see his dad soon after learning of his cancer diagnosis in February.

Harry jetted home for a brief meeting with the monarch, before heading back home without seeing his brother Prince William.
