Prince Harry has fallen into his own trap as he loses control over his security row.
The Duke of Sussex, who sat in for a bombshell interview with the BBC after he lost his appeal to taxpayer funded security, has given an emotional jolt to the situation.
Conflict coach, mediator and trainer, Julie Cobalt, told Hello! magazine: "Publicly criticising your family, especially in a memoir, virtually guarantees defensiveness and further distance.
"It also strips you of control over how your message is received.
"If Harry's goal was reconciliation, a better strategy would have been to work with a conflict coach or mediator. Reconnection requires honest conversation, not public narration,” she added.
Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
