Since quitting royal life in 2020, Prince Harry<\/a> has made a number of decisions that have caused a rift between himself and his royal relatives. Over the last five years, the Duke of Sussex, 40, has criticised the monarchy on a number of occasions, with the most significant cases being in the 2022 Netflix<\/a> docuseries Harry and Meghan, and in his 2023 memoir Spare.<\/p>\n

However, since 2024 when both King Charles and Princess Kate were diagnosed with cancer, Harry seemed to have stepped back from his public criticism of the Firm until a few months ago. After losing his court appeal regarding his downgraded UK taxpayer-funded security rights<\/a> in May, the duke sat down with the BBC<\/a> and made a series of new claims against the Firm.<\/p>\n

According to royal expert Robert Hardman, this caused “considerable irritation” at the Palace, with Hardman writing in The Daily Mail<\/a> that the Firm were only aware of the interview “minutes before broadcast”. A member of Palace staff reportedly told Hardman: “As the Duke of Sussex might say, it felt like a bit of a stitch-up.”<\/p>\n
