There is no shortage of royal family drama this month. From Prince Harry’s James Corden interview to his sit-down with Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey, there’s a lot of information to process. And it sounds like this onslaught of news is not being well-received by the royals.
Besides the series of bombshells dropped in these conversations, the timing of the interviews, specifically Harry’s talk with Corden, raised a few eyebrows.
Keep reading for more details.
Though Harry's interview with "The Late Late Show With James Corden" was relatively tame, particularly in comparison to the Oprah interview, that did not stop critics from bashing the 36-year-old.
According to Daily Mail, sources called the conversation "unhelpful" and claimed it caused "disquiet" in Buckingham Palace, insinuating that the interview disrespected Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.
One insider explained that the palace took issue with the timing of the interview since it was released that same week that the Queen put out a message about the Covid-19 vaccine.
"When the Queen speaks as she has done about the vaccine it is accepted that she has a clear field," the source said.
Royal expert Robert Jobson, a biographer of Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh, definitely disapproved of Harry's timing.
He told the outlet, "Timing is everything isn't it. On the day that the Queen has issued a very, very important message about the whole of the nation getting the jab, that message has sort of been blurred by Harry, the man who wants a private life, talking about his private life again."
The Oprah interview did not prompt Jobson to see Harry or Meghan in any better light.
Speaking to "Good Morning America," the royal commentator said the interview was comparable to "burning the [American] flag."
