Prince Harry’s recently saw a massive woe when it came to getting Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet taxpayer funded police protection, and feels Prince Harry utterly underestimated the consequences of walking away from the British Royal Family, especially at the time that he did.

Royal author Richard Fitzwilliams is that expert in question and he touched on this, at length, in a conversation with New Idea.

He explained his view of these consequences by saying, “they knew what they were giving up when they stepped down. Automatic police protection is extremely rare, and he lost his legal challenges.”

For one, “a family breach can be reconciled if circumstances change,” but this one “could not be more public.”

Its also being said that much of Prince William’s emotions about his brother are also being motivated with the same thought in mind because he’s the only person said to be against the reconciliation efforts.

Mr Fitzwilliams even offered a little prophecy of his own about this and said “whatever happens with the King, and I’m sure, as a caring father, Charles wants reconciliation before it’s too late, William will never forgive his brother, and I don’t think he will ever allow him back into his life.”

Reason being, as King, he has enough on his plate and in the eyes of the expert, “doesn’t need any psycho-drama from Harry.”

But more than even this, “the situation is getting worse and worse, and only Harry can stop it,” but even more so “like an alcoholic having to admit to a problem before wanting to deal with it, Harry needs to take that first step.”
