Prince Harry’s Criticism of Royal Family: Advisers Urged to Step In and Stop Attacks
Advisers to Prince Harry have been called upon to intervene and put an end to the attacks on the royal family.
According to Russell Myers, a royal correspondent for the Daily Mirror, even members of the royal family feel that Harry's criticism of them is not a fair fight.
Myers questioned when Harry's attacks would stop, adding that it is something that advisers to the Duke of Sussex should be seriously considering.
During an interview with True Royalty TV's The Royal Beat, host Kate Thornton asked Myers if he was surprised to hear Harry talk about his feelings walking behind his mother's coffin on the day of her funeral.
Myers responded that he was not surprised and that Harry is well within his rights to paint a picture of his upbringing and the issues that shaped him as a person.
However, the issue that some people, including the royal family, may have is that it's not becoming a fair fight.

Myers continued by saying that if Harry is allowed to say whatever he wants while members of the royal family maintain a dignified silence, then it is wholly unfair.
He applauded Harry for speaking about his mental health struggles and the therapy he has received, which will raise a fantastic conversation.
However, he also expressed concern about how many times they are speaking about the same issues and the same attacks on members of his family while they essentially can't say anything.
Senior royal correspondent Royer Nickar also spoke on the programme, revealing that Prince Charles has a lot he wants to say on the criticism from his son.
However, the Prince of Wales has decided to maintain a dignified silence despite coming under quite heavy fire in terms of Harry's account of his parenting.
Nickar added that if Harry feels he has really benefited from the counselling and therapy that he has had and it is opening up emotions and helping him in his new life across the pond, good luck to him.
But one wonders if in order to do that, do you have to publicly speak about your family in such a negative light?
Harry's own former biographer Angela Levin echoed this sentiment, claiming that his resentment surrounding the death of his mother, the late Princess of Wales, shows an immature streak.
Levin told the programme she was shocked to find out Harry was still hurt that other people openly mourned the loss of his mother.
It is important to note that while Harry has been vocal about his struggles, his attacks on the royal family have raised concerns about the impact it could have on the monarchy.
It's a dangerous game because, on one hand, he will be celebrated, but if it keeps on going and that's just his tact—attacking his family whilst airing his grievances—where does it stop?
