Prince Harry is facing fresh criticism as his links to the royal family grow weaker, with a new controversy surrounding Sentebale, the charity he co founded, adding to the mounting pressure.
The Duke of Sussex, once a prominent figure in royal life, is now being warned that his royal connections are fading fast. This latest dispute has sparked a wave of commentary from royal experts who say Harry has very little left tying him to his former role in the monarchy.
Speaking on GB News, royal commentator Andrew Pierce delivered a blunt assessment of Harry’s current standing. He claimed the Duke’s “good name is disappearing rapidly” and questioned what, if anything, remains of his royal identity.
While Pierce did acknowledge Harry’s success in founding and running the Invictus Games, he noted that it appears to be the only project still connecting him to his past royal life. The Games, which support injured and recovering service members, are widely regarded as Harry’s proudest achievement.
“What is left for him now?” Pierce asked during the broadcast. “He just has his Invictus Games charity, which is brilliant work with servicemen and women who have been damaged in war.”
The remark underscores the growing perception that Harry’s public profile is increasingly centered on a single cause rather than a broader array of royal engagements, as was the case before he stepped down from official duties.
Pierce added that Invictus is “about all he has left of his old life as a royal,” a statement that paints a stark picture of the Duke’s dwindling influence in the royal sphere.
Responding to these claims, royal correspondent Cameron Walker highlighted that despite the criticism, Harry’s charitable work continues to earn him praise from supporters around the world.

Walker pointed out that Harry remains committed to Sentebale, the charity he co founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho. The organization focuses on supporting vulnerable children and young people affected by poverty, inequality, and HIV in southern Africa.
“Indeed,” Walker said, “he’s been widely praised for his charity work, and I am told by his spokesperson that he is going to be looking at other ways to support children in southern Africa.”
This pledge to expand his charitable efforts comes at a time when the Duke is under pressure to protect his public image and maintain relevance outside the confines of the British royal family.
Sentebale has been a central part of Harry’s philanthropic identity for nearly two decades, and any tension or controversy involving the organization could have significant consequences for his reputation.
Royal watchers note that the dispute comes amid a broader period of challenge for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have faced both public scrutiny and personal setbacks since leaving the United Kingdom.
While Harry continues to find purpose in his work with Invictus and Sentebale, critics argue that without the royal platform, sustaining global influence may become more difficult over time.
For now, Harry appears determined to stay focused on his causes, hoping his dedication to helping service members and vulnerable children will outweigh any negative headlines.
But with questions swirling about how much of his royal legacy remains intact, it is clear that the Duke of Sussex faces a crucial period in defining his future outside the institution that once shaped his entire public life.
