Prince Harry news: Royal expert Victoria Arbiter says Harry’s recent BBC interview has ‘backfired spectacularly’

Prince Harry‘s recent bombshell interview has “backfired spectacularly”, according to one royal expert.

Over the weekend, the Duke of Sussex sat down for an interview with the BBC where he opened up about his failed security bid as well as hopes for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III.

Speaking on Today, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter noted how the latest interview has contributed to growing calls for Harry and Meghan’s royal titles to be stripped.

She said, “that’s partly because of this interview over the weekend, which has actually backfired spectacularly on Prince Harry.”

Arbiter remarked people are “starting to lose patience and certainly lose interest” in Harry’s legal battles.

Additionally, she raised the recent discovery that Meghan has been using her HRH title in private, as revealed in a recent podcast appearance.

While appearing on her friend, IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast, it was revealed that Meghan had used the HRH prefix on a monogrammed note sent to Lima.

This goes against an agreement Harry and Meghan made with the late Queen Elizabeth II that the wouldn’t use their royal prefixes after their exit from the royal family in 2020.

“So I think people have sort of reached breaking point when it comes to the Sussexes’ ‘woe is me’ narrative,” Arbiter said.

Despite the Duke of Sussex saying he wants to reconcile with his family, Arbiter admitted, “at this point, I just don’t see how it could happen”.

“Any time they have spoken to Harry, that conversation has ended up on a US news program with a friendly journalist,” she explained.

“I just don’t think they can trust him.

“And until they can trust him, there is no path forward.”

Arbiter also noted there’s no path to reconciliation until Harry and Meghan are “prepared to take accountability for their own actions”.

“I think there’s a lot of people that could apologise, but apologies work both ways.”
