Prince Harry 'not the sharpest tool', expert says he's sabotaging King Charles

Prince Harry is once again facing royal backlash, this time for undermining his own father, according to royal insiders who aren’t mincing words. 

Speaking out after his BBC interview earlier this month, where he called his failed legal appeal over UK security a "good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up", one royal commentator says the Duke of Sussex is doing more harm than he realizes.

Robert Jobson, royal author and longtime palace watcher, didn’t hold back on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show: “Harry may not be the sharpest tool, he may not be the smartest. But he’s smart enough to realise that at this moment, his father has a big role to play.”

“By doing what he’s doing, he’s undermining not only his country, not only his father as a father, but the King."

Jobson highlighted that Charles is currently playing a major international role, especially in a time of global instability.

“He is a political figure, as well as a constitutional monarch,” Jobson said. “He’s doing a very important job at the moment, and that should be respected by somebody who, after all, served in Afghanistan.”

What did Prince Harry say in his BBC interview?

The Duke of Sussex is at the centre of royal drama following his bombshell BBC interview, where he claimed King Charles "won’t speak to him" and shockingly added that he doesn't know “how much longer [his father] has”.

The emotional sit-down came just days after Harry lost his appeal to reinstate his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK — and now, the fallout is getting even messier.

But with growing calls for him to be cut off, and Buckingham Palace sticking firmly to their position — reiterating that “all these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts” — a reunion with the Royal Family seems further away than ever.
