In a revealing documentary on ITV titled "Tabloids on Trial," Prince Harry has underscored his ongoing conflict with the British press as a primary factor in the continuing rift with the Royal Family. Despite hopes for reconciliation, Harry's candid discussions in the documentary suggest little prospect of mending familial ties.
Since relocating to the U.S. with his wife, Meghan Markle, in January 2020 and airing grievances about royal life in various interviews, the divide between Harry and the royal family has deepened. His commitment to challenging the media, as highlighted in the documentary, has further complicated the possibility of reconciliation.
Charles Rae, a former royal correspondent, expressed skepticism about the impact of the documentary on royal family relations. He referenced past controversies, including allegations of racism within the royal family during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, and Harry's autobiography, "Spare." Rae criticized Harry's approach, suggesting that the prince has not fully acknowledged his role in the estrangement.
The documentary and Harry's outspoken stance appear to solidify the ongoing separation from his family, dampening hopes of a reunion any time soon.
