Prince Harry may face a difficult path if he and Meghan Markle were to separate, with concerns that he could be seen as “in the wrong,” much like Johnny Depp was during his high-profile split with Amber Heard. This cautionary perspective comes from royal expert Hugo Vickers, who spoke to The Sun about what could potentially unfold in such a scenario.
Mr. Vickers, drawing parallels to Depp’s public divorce, warned, “I don’t know when she might make that particular call, and it’s not for me to speculate, but you know she will probably somehow put him in the wrong, so that she can say that she’s a wronged woman, and he’s just behaved like all the others.” The expert expressed concerns that any attempt to make the divorce a “spectacle” would likely end with Harry on the losing side of public perception.
While discussing Prince Harry’s current circumstances, Mr. Vickers voiced empathy for the prince, suggesting that he feels Harry is in “a very difficult place at the moment.” He added, “I mean, I don’t think she ever admits that she is wrong about anything, but I feel very sorry for Prince Harry, because I think he’s in a very difficult place at the moment.” Mr. Vickers also alluded to the fact that he believes Harry’s situation has been challenging for quite some time.
The expert hinted that Meghan’s projects may not have been beneficial to Harry’s personal or professional life, saying, “I think he has been [in a difficult place] for some time. I don’t think that her projects have done Harry any good.” However, when discussing Harry’s own initiatives, Mr. Vickers had a notably different view.
He praised Prince Harry’s achievements with the Invictus Games, a project he championed as a way to support injured veterans. Mr. Vickers acknowledged Harry’s role, saying, “The Invictus Games wasn’t entirely his initiative, but he certainly was the one who made it famous and popular, and he’s done an incredibly good job with it.”
In contrast to the controversy surrounding other ventures, the Invictus Games received high praise from Mr. Vickers, who noted its positive impact. “What’s strange about that is that the message, as far as I can read of Invictus, is, you are not a victim, you are able to get on with life, and are able to make wonderful contributions, and he gets people going again,” Vickers shared, recognizing Harry’s efforts to help others find empowerment and resilience.
Ultimately, the expert’s commentary highlights a difficult predicament Harry might face in the public eye if he and Meghan were to part ways. The “drawn-out divorce spectacle,” as Vickers puts it, could not only potentially harm Harry’s image but also disrupt his significant personal achievements.
