According to a royal expert, ‘smug’ Prince Harry is ‘out for vengeance’ following the ‘spiteful’ assault in his recent interviews.

After the Duke’s latest incendiary remarks left the royal family reeling, Camilla Tominey branded him “smug” and “spiteful”

The Duke of Sussex is “airing his dirty laundry” in the AppleTV+ series, according to Tominey of The Telegraph, who claims his approach is modeled after Princess Diana’s “mistake”

However, she believes that Prince Harry’s outspokenness has increased the royal family’s popularity.

‘By continuing to stoke the flames of publicity with his smug, self-pitying and at times, spiteful rhetoric, Harry shows he has actually learned nothing from his mother’s experience,’ she claimed in an interview with The Telegraph.

Harry told Oprah: ‘Certainly now I will never be bullied into silence’, adding: ‘I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect. We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling.’

‘That feeling of being trapped within the family, there was no option to leave. Eventually when I made that decision for my family, I was still told, “You can’t do this”, And it’s like, “Well how bad does it have to get until I am allowed to do this?”. She [Meghan] was going to end her life. It shouldn’t have to get to that.’

“While there’s no doubting Harry’s noble intentions in wanting to raise awareness of mental health issues – let’s make no mistake here, like Diana deciding to air her dirty linen on the BBC, this is a man out for vengeance,” Tominey wrote in the Telegraph.

She compares Harry’s docuseries to Diana’s famous BBC Panorama interview, in which she spoke about her difficult marriage, personal struggle with mental illness, and royal family issues.

“in trying to emulate her doe-eyed confessionals to speak his ‘truth’, he is repeating her mistake of squandering popularity for the sake of evening the score,” she said.

She claims, on the other hand, that his brother Prince William has inherited his mother’s more positive qualities of helping others above himself.

Camilla goes on to say how the country has stood with The Firm even while the Duke of Sussex has hurled grenades at them.

“Their bid to seek ‘financial independence’ in California has cast them completely in the shade in the minds of the majority of Brits, many of whom would prefer it if they disappeared from view altogether,” she wrote of Harry and Meghan Markle.

“The more they have accused the ‘racist’ royal family of ‘total neglect’, the more they have succeeded in encouraging the British public to throw their support behind the institution.”

The Apple TV series was made available online in its entirety only four hours after his brother, Prince William, launched an unprecedented assault on the BBC for allegedly destroying Princess Diana’s life after her 1995 Panorama interview with ‘rogue reporter’ Martin Bashir.

Harry talked about the effect the interview had on his mother in a statement in response to the investigation, which revealed journalist Martin Bashir organized the interview via false claims.

“Our mother was an incredible woman who dedicated her life to service. She was resilient, brave, and unquestionably honest,” he said.

“The ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their second child, a baby girl, last month.
