Prince Harry’s friend hits back against ‘spiteful’ agenda against army vet
A friend of the Royal Family has a bone to pick over the shocking way in which the Duke is being treated in comparsion to his uncle
There’s a lot of anger in the hearts of Prince Harry’s pals because they have just come forward to highlight the ‘unfair’ treatment he’s faced since Megxit.
This friend is Alex Rayner and he spoke about his two cents with the Daily Mail and pointed out how much Prince Harry has done for the UK during his time in the army.
In his view, “Harry is a royal who's significantly served in the Armed Forces.” That is why to even consider asking him ‘to ‘ask’ him to pay for it [security] privately “feels a tiny bit spiteful, given that there are other members of the royal family who receive it who do far less.”
What is pertinent to mention is that Prince Harry’s woes, regarding security, initially increased because he is no longer seen as a senior working royal, and this means he is no longer entitled to automatic taxpayer-funded security.
As for the details, the ‘transition’ (from UK to US) is said to have happened rapidly, as seen in behind-the-scenes images the Sussexes shared in their docuseries for Netflix a couple of years later.
From Vancouver Island, Canada to Santa Barbara, California, and Tyler Perry’s house in between, the couple moved around in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But before that, their last leg of royal work included attending the Endeavour Fund Awards and the Commonwealth Day Service held at Westminster Abbey.
A couple of years later news came that a 12-month ‘review period’ concluded, which meant that the Sussexes would officially be confirmed as not returning to royal life. This also led to the stripping of Prince Harry’s honorary military titles, and royal patronages.
From that point on the interviews, (Oprah Winfrey, 60 Minutes, CBS, BBC) the docuseries, (Harry & Meghan) began, right after deals were signed with both Netflix and Spotify.
While the Netflix deal is said to be ongoing, despite it being in a diminished capacity, the Spotify deal fell through and fans even saw the CEO, Daniel Ek, come out and accuse the couple of being “grafters.”
A couple of years later, around 2023, in January the memoir that Prince Harry had been working on came out, titled Spare, and showcased details from the Sandringham summit, the dog bowl incident (where Prince Harry was thrown in by his brother) as well as a promise of ‘more material’ should a second book be in consideration.
In between all this (in 2021) Princess Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor joined the family, but not before Meghan suffered a miscarriage that she later penned for The New York Times, titled ‘The Losses We Share’.
The only documented returns to the UK where Meghan followed her husband was for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee (June 2022), then later her funeral as well. However, it did not end there because then the King’s Coronation followed, Lilibet and Archie became Prince and Princess, as is their ‘birthright’ in the words of their father, following that many years later the father and son duo made their first official contact in Windsor Castle, over tea for nearly an hour. Since then the anti-royal interviews have reduced, and its said the Sussexes are working towards rehabilitation, despite Prince William’s rumored dissatisfaction.
