Prince Harry condemned for complaining about fight with Prince William
- Since stepping back from royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have frequently criticized the royal family in public.
- Ben McBean, a former soldier and friend of Harry, has expressed discontent over Harry’s public comments about his family.
- Many of Harry's former friends have distanced themselves due to his actions since leaving royal life.
In recent months, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced backlash for their outspoken criticisms of the royal family. This criticism has emerged prominently since their departure from royal duties in January 2020. Various incidents, including their famous interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix series, and Harry's memoir 'Spare,' have sparked public discussions and stirred up sentiments among people close to both Harry and Meghan. One particular voice of dissent comes from former soldier Ben McBean, a close acquaintance of Harry who shared a flight with him during their military service. McBean, who lost limbs in combat, has publicly aired his dismay over the Duke of Sussex's recent remarks about family disagreements, suggesting that Harry's public approach could have been handled privately. His candid comments reflect the sentiments of several individuals from Harry’s past who have distanced themselves from him. This shift in relationships appears to be a direct fallout from Harry and Meghan's decision to leave royal life and the way they've chosen to portray their experiences since. Voices from within Harry’s former social circle express disappointment, emphasizing that even amongst familial disputes, respect and private handling are important. This narrative reflects a broader concern over Harry's choices in sharing personal family matters publicly. The consequences of this dynamic have led to a substantial rift not only with royal relatives but also with old friends. Commentary from royal observers points towards how the Duke might perceive these sacrifices as necessary for a new life focused more closely on his immediate family. It raises questions about the balance between personal happiness and maintaining relationships from his past.
