Prince Harry has received a fresh warning after seemingly sending a strong message to the royal family with his recent trip to South Africa. The warning came from royal expert Angela Levin, a known critic of both Harry and Meghan Markle. Levin, speaking to GB News, suggested that Harry’s latest engagements could provoke tensions within the royal family.
Levin expressed concern that Prince Harry’s eight solo engagements in nine days in South Africa were intended to show his independence from the monarchy. She pointed out that the Duke of Sussex revisited charities he had worked with as a senior royal, possibly to convey that he could still contribute meaningfully without the royal family’s support.
“He’s gone to all these charities he used to work with as a working royal, and I think it’s a way to say, ‘I don’t need the Royal Family, I can do this on my own and I can do this much better because everyone still loves me,’” Levin remarked. She added that this move could have significant consequences. “I think that is a very dangerous thing to do. I think the Royal Family will come up with something because they can’t have this. It’s appalling.”
Harry’s trip to South Africa follows his brief visit to Britain for a charity event, during which he did not meet with any members of the royal family. The Duke’s relationship with his family, particularly with his estranged brother Prince William, remains tense since Harry and Meghan’s move to the United States.
Levin’s comments highlight the ongoing tensions between Harry and the royal family, particularly in the wake of his and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal roles. The author and commentator suggested that Harry’s decision to undertake these engagements without royal backing could be seen as a deliberate act of defiance, further straining his ties with the family. told by Daily Express.
Prince Harry has been at odds with the royal family for some time, and his latest solo trip may exacerbate these tensions. His decision to continue working with charities that were part of his royal duties has been seen by some, including Levin, as an attempt to show that he can thrive outside the royal system. However, such independence may not sit well with the palace.
As Harry continues his public engagements, it remains to be seen how the royal family will respond to this latest development in their ongoing rift.
