Prince Harry Impersonates Queen Elizabeth II in BBC Documentary, Irritating the Monarch
Prince Harry has once again made headlines, this time for impersonating his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, during his part of the upcoming BBC documentary Prince Philip, The Family Remembers.
The documentary, originally commissioned to mark the Duke of Edinburgh's 100th birthday, will now serve as a tribute to the late prince, with interviews filmed before and after his death in April.
Scheduled to air on Wednesday, September 22 at 9 pm on BBC One, the documentary features exclusive interviews with Prince Philip's children and grandchildren, including Prince Harry and Prince William.
However, some lucky few have already watched the documentary before its broadcast and have revealed that Prince Harry's impersonation of the Queen did not sit well with Her Majesty.
In the documentary, Prince Harry is presented with several images of his grandfather's time as a pilot, reminding him of the Duke's passion for aircraft.
A section of the documentary shows Harry scanning Philip's flight logs from a 1983 Royal Tour which took him to Geneva, Nairobi, Jakarta, and Delhi.
Trending:
Harry reveals that he was doing all the flying himself, or certainly chunks of it, and that being the Duke of Edinburgh did not give him an easy pass.
He had to put in the work and prove his skill.
Prince Harry then imagines his grandmother sitting in the back of a plane, having a cup of tea, going through turbulence, and saying, “Oh Philip!
What are you doing?”
This impersonation reportedly irritated the Queen, who is already dealing with backlash from Harry's recent Armchair Expert podcast interview.
During the podcast interview, Harry compared his life in England to being a mix between The Truman Show and being in a zoo, which did not sit well with the royal family.
Harry's comments were considered thoughtless and irresponsible, especially since the Queen is still mourning the death of her husband, Prince Philip.
According to Us Weekly, the Queen found Harry's latest interview hurtful and is unimpressed with him right now.
Prince Charles and Prince William are also reportedly livid with Harry.
The Royals do not want to engage with Harry's comments because they feel it was thoughtless and irresponsible of him to once again shade the firm so soon after Prince Philip's death.
Despite the drama, the Queen still has a soft spot for Harry and is annoyed with Charles for not forgiving him.
A source previously explained that Elizabeth is proud of William for taking the dignified approach, unlike Charles, who still hasn't forgiven Harry for dragging his name through the mud.
The documentary will feature interviews with a variety of high-profile Royals, including Prince Harry and Prince William.
The cameras also received access to Buckingham Palace to meet the Duke's long-serving staff and to capture his study, private office, and library as they were during his seven decades of public service.
With special access to the Queen's private cine film collection, the documentary promises to be an unrivaled portrait of a man with a unique place in Royal history, by those who knew him best, said the BBC in a statement.
The programme is expected to provide fond memories of Prince Philip, but the Queen's relationship with Prince Harry may take a while to heal.
