Prince Harry Discusses Media Conflicts and Family Dynamics in ITV's 'Tabloids on Trial'
In a candid interview for the ITV documentary "Tabloids on Trial," Prince Harry framed his ongoing conflict with the British press as a form of service. The Duke of Sussex opened up about the media's role in the royal family's rift, emphasizing the mutual dependency between the monarchy and the media.
Royal commentator Richard Palmer weighed in on the interview, likening the situation to a "national soap opera." He explained, "The royal family holds a significant constitutional role, but they're also part of a national drama. Each member has had moments of falling out of favor with the public and the media."
Palmer highlighted the contrast between Harry's stance and that of his brother, Prince William. "William has mastered the art of controlling the narrative, whereas Harry's approach has been more confrontational," he said. The commentator underscored the importance of the symbiotic relationship between the media and the royal family, noting, "The Royal Family needs the media as much as the media needs the Royal Family."
