Prince Harry’s “friends” have been talking a lot since we learned about Harry’s memoir. It feels like so many of his “friends” couldn’t wait to run to the Sunday Times, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph to threaten Harry with exposure if he… like, tells his own story. I don’t know. It’s all very hysterical and it’s giving me deja vu to other dumb stories in recent years, where the British press is trying so hard to make certain Sussex issues into controversies and most people just don’t give a sh-t. Maybe that’s just me being jaded, I don’t know. Anyway, one of Harry’s “friends” claimed that Harry has a “Prince Andrew complex” about being forgotten or overlooked.
Prince Harry harbours a ‘Prince Andrew complex’ and fears he has a ‘limited shelf-life’ before the public become ‘more interested in Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis’, a friend of the royal has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, 36, who is currently living in his $14 million mansion in Santa Barbara, has given a series of explosive interviews since he stepped back from royal duty last year.
A friend has said he ‘always been in such a rush to make an impact’ before he begins to slip down the pecking order in the royal family.’
Speaking to The Sunday Times, the companion said: ‘Harry has always been in such a rush to make an “impact”, because he thinks he has a limited shelf-life before the public want to hear more from George and his siblings and he worries that after that, he’ll turn into his uncle.’
Eh, I feel like this is actually more complicated than “this is a total lie” or “this is the God’s honest truth.” Before Harry met Meghan, he was already aware of the fact that the monarchy would eventually be all about William and his children. That was why Charles always insisted that the streamlined monarchy was going to be about Harry and William assuming major positions and all of that. Which fell apart as soon as Harry met Meghan, because suddenly the monarchy didn’t need Harry or his American wife. Until Charles, William and the courtiers figure that out – whether Harry is vital to the monarchy or he isn’t – there will always be this back and forth. Anyway, I don’t think Harry feels like he has a ticking clock over his head, I think he was totally fine with staying in his lane and doing the work he passionately loved. It was his father and brother who had a problem with that because they both hated how charismatic Harry is and how easily Harry overshadowed them.
