A royal scribe, Robert Jobson, weighed in on his interview with the actor and said the prince is “very self-indulged” and “selfish” for attacking Prince Charles’ parenting skills so soon after his grandfather’s death.

Jobson expressed his shock that Prince Harry continued to speak ill about his family so soon after the funeral. He added if the Duke gave it some thought, then he would realize talking about his personal problems doesn't help the situation, sharing:

“He’s talking about his father, who’s just lost his own dad, going through his own traumas and mental health issues. Surely he should support Charles now more than ever.”

The 36-year-old also shared that he wanted out of royal life in his 20s. He supported his statement by referring to the negative impact the fame had on the late Princess Diana.

Prince Harry questioned himself on how he would have his own family if they were to go through what his mom went through and said he knows how everything works, therefore, did not want to be a part of it.
