Prince Harry is facing a firestorm after his controversial sit-down with the BBC. Royal expert, Robert Jobson, has urged the Duke of Sussex to 'be a man' and take responsibility for what he thinks was a series of 'wrong' decisions that have distanced him further from the royal family and the public's favor. In his interview, Harry made several claims about his estranged father and other royals with regard to his court defeat in the UK security case. The biggest claim was that they were directly behind the stripping of his state-funded security, and the subsequent endangerment of his and his children's lives.

Reflecting on the interview, experts opine that Harry is lashing out because he’s missing the very royal life he’s criticizing. As reported by The Sun, Jobson said, "Maybe there was a degree of that bitterness in what he gave that interview with the BBC, a sense, again, he wasn't there, and he knows he should be there. A lot of people blame Meghan for a lot, but I don't blame her at all.” Jobson argued, "I think he's got to be man enough to make his own decisions, and some of the decisions he's made have been absolutely wrong.”

Jobson added, "Nobody said you shouldn't go away and have a private life, but if he hadn't done the book and if he hadn't done the Oprah interview, there's no doubt in my view that he would have been invited back to do certain things." Renowned royal photographer Arthur Edwards chimed in and agreed that it’s high time Harry should stop pointing fingers and own up to his mistakes. Edwards asserted that if Harry had just apologized to his father, the King might have been open to a reconciliation.

He reasoned, "I mean, what he did; it was pretty treacherous." During the interview, the Duke of Sussex admitted that he will not be bringing his wife and children to the UK amid security concerns. However, he also said that despite all the disagreements between him and the royal family, he has now 'forgiven' them. As per the BBC, Harry added, "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious."

While Harry says he is open to a reconciliation, he also insists that he has no regrets even if certain family members don't forgive him. In response, Jobson concluded that if Harry hadn’t taken repeated digs at the royal family, there might still have been a chance for him to get invited to key royal events like VE Day, as reported by the Daily Express. The royal family participated in VE Day celebrations from May 5-8, partaking in a military parade and flypast. Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children, were all in attendance. Later, they came together as a family and made an appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
