Kinsey Schofield on Prince Harry's UK Visit and Royal Family Rift

Prince Harry's UK Return and Royal Rift

• 📌 Prince Harry returned to the UK for charity visits, paying respects to Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death, but did not meet with Prince William.
• 💡 The brothers were only eight miles apart, yet their long-running rift showed no signs of abating, with William reportedly avoiding a meeting.
• 💬 Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield described Harry as looking "disheveled" and "going to seed," contrasting with his past image.

Criticisms of Harry's Behavior

• 📚 Harry's book "Spare" contained "unnecessary digs" at Prince William, including comments about his appearance, which was seen as cruel and irrelevant.
• ⚠️ His past actions, including treating his family "like garbage" towards the end of the Queen's life, made reconciliation difficult.
• 🗣️ Harry's public statements, like questioning his father's remaining time, were deemed "incredibly harmful" and angered the Palace, who want King Charles to appear strong.

Security Claims and Royal Family Response

• 🛡️ Harry's claims about security are viewed as less about safety and more about his "ego and control," as he is often granted the security he requests.
• 🚫 The Palace has offered him a place to stay at Buckingham Palace, but he has reportedly rejected it, disliking the 28-day notice requirement for his itinerary.
• 👑 King Charles and Prince William are cautious about meeting Harry due to concerns he might "tell American media" or "put it in a book," jeopardizing the monarchy's future.

Public Perception and Meghan's Challenges

• 📉 Harry is "struggling with being at the bottom" of popularity polls, near Prince Andrew, and is seen as constantly seeking public sympathy.
• ⚖️ Meghan Markle faces a defamation lawsuit from her half-sister Samantha Markle, with a court decision pending that could force her into a trial.
• 🛍️ Meghan's business ventures, including "American Riviera Orchard" and a Netflix series, have faced "problems" and have not performed well.
