Prince Harry ‘Unhappy’ With Senior Royals Handling His Media Affairs, Expert Claims

Prince Harry has reportedly been feeling unhappy with the way senior royals have been handling his media affairs.

Duncan Larcombe, the author of “Prince Harry: The Inside Story,” said that the Duke of Sussex used to get upset over the fact that it was Prince Charles’ team at the Clarence House that was handling his and Prince William’s media affairs.

“For several years, the boys had been desperate to have their own press officer, someone with whom they could work and get to know and trust. Harry, in particular, was unhappy with the advice and guidance he was given by the men in grey suits who were, after all, employed by and answerable to his father,” he explained.

Prince Harry felt that he and Prince William should have their own press secretary, to whom they could turn to in times of crisis and whose advice will be helpful most of the time.

The royal siblings’ uneasiness to having their media affairs handled by their dad’s press team grew increasingly when they became adults and when they started their military careers.

And the so-called last straw for the Duke of Sussex came with the verdict of the inquest regarding Princess Diana’s death. Following the shocking demise of the Princess of Wales, Prince William and Prince Harry were told what to say and how to react when discussing the matter in public.

This discouraged them from sharing their real thoughts and feelings over their mother’s death. And one month after, Buckingham Palace posted a job opening for the role of press secretary for Prince William and Prince Harry.

The man that was appointed for the job was Miguel Head, and he was chosen by the royal siblings due to his background in the Ministry of Defense, as well as his young age.

“He had a far more approachable manner than some of the Prince of Wales’s media team at Clarence House. He was far closer to the boys’ age, which must have come as a breath of fresh air after years of dealing with people more than twice as old,” Larcombe said.
