Prince Harry has faced accusations of taking a 'dig' at the royal family and being untruthful in his new documentary, Tabloids on Trial.
Royal expert Dan Wootton responded to Harry's claims about the royals, writing on X (formerly Twitter): "Prince Harry's new 'lies' about the late Queen and Princess Diana have caused 'hurt and blind rage' within the Royal Family." Wootton added, "Royal sources have reacted with total disdain regarding the validity and accuracy of the claims."
Another expert, Jennie Bond, criticized the Duke of Sussex, noting, "He was asked directly, 'Do you think your determination to pursue your mission against the tabloids is the reason for your rift with the Royal Family?' And he said it was a central piece of that rift. So he is blaming the tabloids for that. And of course, that was part of his book, Spare."
Bond continued, "His book was full of references to the fact that the rest of the family did not want to publicly express their feelings about the tabloids in the way that Harry wanted. Harry said that his father, Charles, mentioned it was a suicide mission to try to bring the tabloids to book, but he feels that he is very well placed to do it."
The expert also claimed, "He had a little dig at his family by saying he felt that pursuing this was part of his service, and service was something that the whole family ought to be doing. And it would be very nice if the family did it with him. That is not how the rest of the family wants to proceed. They have sued the tabloids in the past, but William himself has settled out of court on issues such as the phone hacking Harry is pursuing now."
