Support is pouring into Buckingham Palace as Prince Harry faces intense backlash for what critics are calling a disastrous interview with the BBC.
Royal biographer Hugo Vickers is among those speaking out, and he isn’t holding back in his critique of the Duke of Sussex’s recent behavior.
In a conversation with Page Six, Vickers shared his unwavering support for the royal family, saying, “I have total sympathy with the royal family.”
He then made a striking comparison between Harry and his late mother, Princess Diana, explaining, “Harry is quite like his mother.”
Recalling an incident from decades ago, Vickers revealed, “One day, when I was at Buckingham Palace, I was shown the letter Prince Philip wrote to Diana. He said, ‘Every time Charles talks to you, it’s in the Daily Mail the next day.’”
Vickers went on to say, “The same thing is happening now. Charles is, of course, right not to trust him. Harry is hopeless in that respect.”
The royal expert believes the latest BBC interview was a serious mistake and a betrayal of trust between father and son.
“He shouldn’t have given that interview,” Vickers stressed, calling it an unnecessary provocation during an already tense period for the Royal Family.
He added, “None of the royal family should ever give interviews, really. It’s always a car crash.”
The biographer’s comments come after Prince Harry shocked viewers by suggesting that King Charles may not live long, while also accusing the monarch of offering no support in his legal battle over personal security.
Harry’s remarks were seen by many as deeply insensitive, particularly given King Charles’s ongoing battle with cancer and his return to public duties.
Critics were quick to accuse Harry of exploiting private family matters for public sympathy and media exposure.
The backlash has reignited debate over Harry’s repeated decision to air family grievances in public rather than handling them behind closed doors.

Royal insiders say the interview has left the King “disappointed” and “hurt,” particularly as it came at a time when the family is focused on resilience and public service.
Observers also noted the timing of Harry’s comments—just days before his return to the UK for a brief visit—has cast a shadow over any possibility of healing family ties.
According to Vickers and other royal watchers, Prince Harry’s ongoing media campaign is causing irreparable harm to his relationship with the monarchy.
It has also raised questions about his future role—if any—within the royal family, especially as trust continues to erode.
Public sentiment in the UK appears to echo the royal establishment’s frustration, with many accusing Harry of being disloyal and self-centered.
What was once seen as an emotional exit from royal life is now viewed by many as a deliberate attack on the very institution that raised him.
As for King Charles, insiders suggest he remains focused on his duties and has no plans to respond to Harry’s latest outburst publicly.
But behind palace doors, the feeling is clear—Harry’s words have consequences, and this time, the damage might be beyond repair.
