Prince Harry’s behavior following his marriage to Meghan Markle has prompted an expert to come forward with the message ‘I just wish he didn’t blame it on everyone else. It wasn’t the press, it wasn’t the public, they all wanted it to succeed’.
The expert in question is royal expert and author, Phil Dampier, and he has offered a no-holds-barred take on the royal couple, from the days of their very first Invictus Games appearance, in Toronto following their wedding.
He talked about everything with royal editor Matt Wilkinson The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, and the conversation saw the pundit get specific about the media paranoia that erupted right after their marriage.
“We were completely and utterly shocked by it. I just couldn’t believe it when he did it,” the expert said of Prince Harry’s statement about his wife’s media coverage.
“Looking back, I think there were one or two comments in a couple of columns that made some pretty nasty remarks about her background. But overall,” admitted Mr Dampier, “99 per cent of the coverage was overwhelmingly positive and welcoming.”
Later in the interview, the expert also called it a “very bad start”, with “Harry’s paranoia” on full display, although at the start of her wedding she “looked like a breath of fresh air.”
That’s why “I just couldn’t believe it when he started complaining to the press that she was being mistreated, because I generally don’t think she was,” he said.
Before concluding, he also noted: “We know from Spare and everything that’s happened afterwards that he’s obviously bottled up a lot of angst and bitterness. But William had to go through the same thing and he’s managed to pull through.”
Although “it’s obviously really affected him, but I just wish he didn’t blame everybody else for it. It wasn’t the press, it wasn’t the public, they all wanted it to succeed.”
