"Arrogant" Prince Harry's brutal royal snub
In a brand new tell-all interview, Prince Harry has snubbed the Queen and the royal family several times.
While in The Netherlands for the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex sat down for an exclusive interview on US television.
Harry opened up about his "special relationship" with the Queen, and admitted to missing his family while living in the states.
However, he appears to have also snubbed his family five times with some off-handed comments throughout the interview.
Here's how.
Uncertainly over the Jubilee
Prince Harry refused to say whether he would be returning to the UK in order to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June, which will honour her 70 years on the throne.
Instead, he said making the trip would be difficult due to his ongoing disagreements with the UK government over his security.
When asked whether he will return to the UK for the celebrations, Harry said, “I don’t know if I’ll come. There are lots of issues with security and everything else.”
Missing Lilibet
Harry told US journalist Hoda Kotb that the Queen hasn't met his daughter Lilibet yet, despite him visiting the UK twice since she was born.
But with his uncertainty around returning for the jubilee, it is unlikely Her Majesty will get to meet her namesake any time soon.
Harry said, “I’m trying to do everything to make sure my kids can meet her.”
His new home in America
Two years after leaving the UK to relocate to America, Prince Harry seems to have firmly cemented himself in the States.
He praised his neighbours in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara in California for welcoming his family.
Harry said, “Home for me now, for the time being, is in the States and it feels that way as well."
“We’ve been welcomed with open arms and we have such a great community up in Santa Barbara.”
His "special relationship" with the Queen
During the interview, Harry gushed over his "special relationship" with his grandmother.
He said she is able to open up with him as a confidant, which gives her "peace".
Harry said, “We have a really special relationship."
“We talk about things that she can’t talk about with anybody else, so that is always a nice peace to her.”
Protective grandson
The Duke reveals that he wants the "right people" around the Queen, as his strained relationship with other members of the royal family continues.
He said, “Being with her, it was great. It was just so nice to see her. You know, she’s on great form."
“She has always got a great sense of humour with me and I’m just making sure she’s protected and has got the right people around her.”
Royal experts branded his misguided remark a “gross insult” to his family that showed his “arrogance”.
Author Angela Levin remarked, “His comment on US TV is a gross insult to all the royal family, the royal doctors and all the aides around HM. His arrogance knows no bounds.”
