Prince Harry has once again found himself on the wrong side of the Royal Family, following his latest public comments that appear to have reopened old wounds and burned more bridges.
The Duke of Sussex’s remarks have reportedly left his family “deeply disappointed,” prompting royal experts to declare that there may now be no path back for him into the royal fold.
Speaking to The Sun, royal author Robert Jobson didn’t mince his words, stating bluntly, “He’s done so much damage.”
“He’s criticised the Queen, the King’s wife. He’s attacked his brother, called his brother a bully, and attacked his brother’s wife,” Jobson emphasized, adding, “And then what does he expect?”
Harry’s repeated grievances against key members of the monarchy—including Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton—have sparked intense backlash within royal circles and beyond.
Royal photographer Arthur Edwards echoed the sentiment, pointing out Harry’s lack of remorse and refusal to backtrack on any of his most controversial claims.
“When he had the chance to correct a lot of it, he didn’t do that,” said Edwards, referring to Harry’s recent interviews and media appearances.
“He didn’t say, ‘Look, I probably got that wrong, Dad,’ or, ‘I’m sorry, William.’ That would’ve gone a long way,” Edwards added.
“What he did, it was pretty treacherous,” he continued, highlighting the shockwaves Harry has sent through the institution that once embraced him.
Harry has increasingly isolated himself from the monarchy, particularly since the release of his tell-all memoir Spare, and now with his bombshell BBC interview, where he accused the royal household of playing a role in denying his security.
Insiders say King Charles was deeply hurt by Harry’s insinuation that he could influence such decisions, further damaging the father-son relationship that is already strained.
Harry’s continued criticisms have also reportedly upset Prince William, who has remained largely silent but is believed to be furious behind closed doors.
Despite claiming in recent interviews that he still hopes for “reconciliation,” Harry’s actions speak otherwise to those within palace walls.

Many royal watchers argue that Harry’s statements have painted himself into a corner—one that may be impossible to escape from, even with an apology.
His repeated airing of royal family grievances through media outlets, documentaries, and books has made forgiveness difficult and reconciliation unlikely.
Robert Jobson emphasized that the monarchy is about unity and stability—two things Harry has continually disrupted since stepping down from his royal duties.
Meanwhile, public opinion in the UK appears to be shifting against the Duke of Sussex, with many Britons viewing his repeated criticisms as unnecessary and damaging to the nation’s most beloved institution.
While Harry remains popular among some audiences overseas, particularly in the U.S., his standing in the UK is at an all-time low.
Experts say that unless there is a dramatic change in approach—from both sides—the rift may never be healed.
With King Charles battling health issues and Prince William stepping into more leadership roles, Harry’s absence from royal life is becoming increasingly permanent.
For now, it seems that Prince Harry’s path to redemption within the royal family is blocked—by his own words and the hurt they’ve caused.
