Prince Harry gets put on blast by former employee who worked closely with his parents

Prince Harry gets completely steamrolled for his own troubles: ‘He’s brought a lot on himself’

Yet again campaigners and those in the charity circuit have seen Prince Harry dragged across the mud, this time around for very serious abuses of human rights, by the African Parks charity, against indigenous Baka people in the Republic of the Congo.

The person that has spoken out regarding this is non other than former butler to the Royal Family Grant Harold and according to their findings, the issues “never seem to stop” in Prince Harry’s camp.

He sat down to dicuss this never ending media frenzy surrounding the Duke of Sussex and his past charitable links in a conversation with TalkTV host Mark Dolan.

During this chat he compared the Duke’s circumstances, to that of Queen Elizabeth who is concerned the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

According to the former employee, “his grandmother, the late queen, I believe she only had two legal things happen in her lifetime. And here, we've got her grandson who seems to be in the press most weeks for some legal thing.”

But that isn’t the only thing being affected because Mr Harold also referenced the impact these continued woes are having on his other programs, like The Invictus Games, following the issues with Sentebale.

“They feel it's been affected by the toxicity of the Sussex brand when it should be about the veterans,” Mr Harrold explained in reference to the Games. “The problem you've got for Harry is that the one good thing in his life was the charity stuff and even that seems to be a hot mess.”

Near the end he also said, “it is a mess and let's just say he was still very much a working member of the royal family, he still had a great relationship with his family. This wouldn't be happening. It's an absolute fact.”

If that were the case “he would still be carrying on doing what he was very good at,” the ex-employee noted. So in his eyes “the reality is, as we've seen with his uncle, when you become an embarrassment or a problem for the royal family, other organisations and charities don't want to have the association any longer.”

Before concluding he also admitted, “I feel sorry for some of these charities because they probably adore Harry, but at the back of their minds, they'll be thinking, 'Is this going to cause problems between us and another member of the royal family?' And you can completely understand why. I don't want to say it but he has brought a lot of this on himself.”
