Former Royal Aide Criticizes Prince Harry’s Public Victim Narrative

Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary to Queen Elizabeth II, offered a candid appraisal of Prince Harry in the Channel 5 documentary "Prince Harry: My Terrible Year." She described Harry as a warm and kind person but criticized his impulsiveness and his decision to air private family matters publicly, including comments on King Charles III's health. Anderson urged Harry to "stop being the victim and start being the hero of the piece," suggesting that the public is growing tired of his portrayal of victimhood and constant struggles. She also emphasized the importance of trust within families, questioning who can be trusted if not one's own family. The documentary highlights ongoing tensions within the royal family, including Harry's fallout with the charity Sentebale and his attempts at reconciliation with King Charles. Photos of recent meetings between senior aides hint at possible progress toward mending familial rifts.
