Queen Elizabeth II’s former press secretary, Ailsa Anderson, has some thoughts about Prince Harry.
Anderson worked alongside the late monarch for 12 years, which allowed her to form a close bond with her grandson Harry, 40, as well. The former royal family employee recalled the Duke of Sussex being a “very warm, engaging and kind person” in the U.K. documentary Prince Harry: My Terrible Year, which aired on Saturday, August 9.
Still, that doesn’t mean Anderson doesn’t have some arguably harsh words for the Duke of Sussex amid the royal family’s ongoing fallout.
“Stop being the victim and start being the hero of the piece, start writing your own script,” Anderson said in a message to Harry. “I think people are just getting a little bit tired of how Prince Harry thinks the world is against him and how awful his life is.”
She claimed that the duke is “too impulsive,” which she alluded to being the reason behind some of his recent decisions.
Anderson appeared to be referring to Harry’s bombshell interview with the BBC from earlier this year, in which the duke publicly revealed details about his continued feud with King Charles III.
“I think trust is paramount in every walk of life, if you can’t trust your family, who can you trust?” Anderson also said in the documentary.
Harry has been making headlines for the past few months as the rift between him and his father continues. After losing his appeal for government-funded security in the U.K., Harry sat down for his BBC interview and claimed that Charles, 76, “won’t speak to me.” (Harry and wife, Meghan Markle, lost security protection in the U.K. after they parted ways with the royal family in 2020 and moved across the pond to Montecito, California.)
The duke also shared his wish to reconcile with his family at the time.
“I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore,” Harry said, in part. “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
He added, “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family.”
Harry appeared to be referring to Charles’ ongoing cancer battle. (The king was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer last year.)
There has been talk about the father and son potentially finding a path towards some type of reconciliation. However, Harry’s relationship with his brother, Prince William, is something totally different.
“I think that Harry’s relationship with his brother is a different beast than his relationship with his father,” royal expert Kristen Meinzer told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month. “But perhaps if Charles warms more to Harry, William will feel compelled to follow his lead.”
