Prince Harry<\/a> has been blasted for his only purpose revolving around himself. The 40-year-old previously having spent a decade in the Army<\/a>, with him undertaking two tours of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Harry<\/a>, who stepped down from royal duties in 2020, set up the Invictus Games<\/a> – an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans – in 2014. Taking to her column for The Sun’s<\/a>, assistant editor Clemmie Moodie wrote: “Since leaving the Army, something he was genuinely passionate about and, by all accounts, brilliant at, Harry has lost his identity.<\/p>\n

“Like many ex-military men, he has lost his sense of purpose: one he so evidently hoped to find as one half of the world\u2019s hottest, most powerful power couple.”<\/p>\n

Highlighting some of the ventures Harry has taken on since stepping down as a senior royal, such as his bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021, she added that “[none of this] can replace the camaraderie and raison d\u2019etre of serving your country.”<\/p>\n

Blasting Harry, she added: “Harry\u2019s only purpose now is serving himself.”<\/p>\n

The Duke of Sussex has recently been deemed Meghan Markle<\/a>‘s “spare”, a term coined to describe the second-born child of a monarch who are first and second in line for succession.<\/p>\n

Seemingly highlighting this term, Ms Moodie added: “While Meghan Markle<\/a> is beginning to find her groove as the planet\u2019s first ex-royal influencer, Harry appears to have no discernible talent.”<\/p>\n

Harry was met with controversy back in 2023 after including in his memoir Spare that he had killed 25 \u201cenemy combatants\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also came under criticism after the book\u2019s release in January 2023 for saying he didn\u2019t think of the Taliban as people, describing them instead as \u201cchess pieces removed from the board.”<\/p>\n

Previously speaking to The Times<\/a>, Levison Wood, who studied alongside the Prince<\/a> at Sandhurst and counts him as a friend, said: “I personally wouldn\u2019t have done that.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry has been blasted for his only purpose revolving around himself.
