Prince Harry Should ‘Stop Feeling Sorry’ And ‘Get On With The Work’

Prince Harry should stop feeling sorry and get on with the work.

Just recently, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke about their struggles as royals and first-time parents. The couple poured their heart out on ITV’s documentary “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.”

Royal experts have different opinions after seeing the couple on T.V. Peter Westmacott, who served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the early 1990s told CNN that the couple was “very human” to wear their hearts on their sleeves. For him, Prince Harry and Markle were genuine and very loving. The Sussexes were working hard to make the best of a “pretty difficult road.”

On the other hand, royal biographer Penny Junor believes that Prince Harry should focus more on his work. Traditionally, the royal family prefer their actions to speak louder than their words.

“He’s got to stop feeling sorry for himself and look at the positives -- shut out the criticism, just ignore it as his father has done, and get on with the work, get on with the job,” Junor said.

“The royal family has always in the past very successfully pursued this policy of keeping their head down and saying nothing.”

Westmacott also commented on the timing of when Prince Harry and Markle’s documentary aired. He felt that it was surprising because the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were still doing their official tour in Pakistan

Westmatcott wasn’t the only person who noticed the timing. According to Robert Jobson, the palace aides were baffled and infuriated because Prince Harry and Markle’s move overshadowed Prince William and Middleton’s achievements during their last few days in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, an insider told Dan Wootton of The Sun that Prince Harry and Markle also undermined Prince Charles. The Prince of Wales was also busy with his own engagements when the documentary aired.

“The Prince of Wales is very busy at the moment touring Japan, including a visit with the Welsh rugby team. But the point is that this whole kerfuffle has completely undermined the work he is doing, just as it undermined the work Prince William and Kate were doing in Pakistan,” a royal source told Wootton.
