Harry looks lonely

Harry ‘looks lonely’ amid ‘silence’ from UK pals after Oprah tell-all, says expert

Prince Harry might be feeling “a tad lonely” in the aftermath of his and wife Meghan Markle’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, a royal commentator claims.

Meghan’s friends have been quick to rush to her defence after she told of having suicidal thoughts and claimed the institution ignored her pleas for help and a royal made a racist comment about her son Archie.

But there was a “startling” silence from the UK with fewer of Harry’s pals speaking up on his behalf and hitting out at the alleged treatment of the couple, claims royal commentator Daniela Elser.

Harry told Oprah he felt let down by his father and the rift with his brother hadn’t been healed, and claimed there as a lack of support and understanding from his family as he and Meghan quit their royal roles.

Gayle King, a friend of the Sussexes and Oprah, said this week that Harry, 36, had talked to Prince Charles and Prince William following the interview.

She claimed the talks were “not productive”.

Ms King spoke out after a number of Meghan’s friends defended the couple, backed their claims against the Royal Family and praised the American duchess for speaking out about her mental health struggles.

Ms King said Meghan, 39, has evidence to back up her claims.

Amid the chorus of support from Meghan’s friends in America, royal commentator Ms Elser questioned why more of Harry’s friends in Britain aren’t speaking up.Dean Stott, a friend who has given interviews, defended the Sussexes and praised them for sharing their story.

The author and former special forces soldier told LBC: “If you see something’s wrong and needs addressing, then it does need addressing, otherwise it’ll just carry on.”Ms Elser suggested Harry, now living in suburban Los Angeles with his pregnant wife and their one-year-old son, might be feeling lonely due to the fractured relationship with members of his family and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ms Elser wrote for news.com.au: “All of the loudest voices, so far, are people from Meghan’s side of the aisle. While the LA side of their social circle have come out en demonstrative masse, from London? Crickets.”

She said there is “something startling about the silence”.

Ms Elser added: “Surely now would be the moment for a well-placed Eton chum or two (with permission, mind) to offer up a sympathetic interview or a quote here and there to help Brits understand what the formerly beloved British son is going through right now.

“… it’s hard not to wonder, might Harry be a tad lonely right now?

“When Meghan moved to London in 2017, she found herself unmoored from her social circle and emotional support base and suffered an increasingly isolated existence. So is the mirror image of that happening now?”
