'He Will Come Unstuck': Prince Harry's 'Destructive' Tendencies to Keep Building on Timescale to Self-Ruin

Harry, Duke of Sussex, 'will come unstuck' at some point as his 'destructive' tendencies start to take hold of California Duke once again.

Prince Harry exhibited "destructive" behavior during the 2000s and early 2010s, and according to former royal butler Paul Burrell, the 39-year-old Duke could be headed back in that direction.

"Harry has pressed the self-destruct button, and he is going ahead with what he thinks is right, and I think he will come unstuck," the bestselling author and Princess Diana's "rock," said on behalf of Spin Genie. "I don’t think all their plans are going to pan out, I think there is a timescale to his destruction."

The former palace aide, who served as Diana's personal butler from 1987 until her death 10 years later, added: "I think they are just letting him get on with it now; I don’t think they are too happy about it, but Harry is taking another step closer all the time to isolation."

Burrell then pointed out how "none of this would have happened and there wouldn’t be this mess if Diana was still here because she would have cleared it up, but there is no one to do it, and so it is going to rumble on because nobody is brave enough to stick their neck out and no one is strong enough for Harry to listen to."

This insight follows the moment the fiery-haired prince paid tribute to his mother via video at March 14's Diana Awards. This was only after his estranged brother, Prince William, appeared in person to lament the work of their late mother and congratulate this year's winners.

In fact, the memories they share of their mother may be the only thing that the future king and spare have in common these days. It also follows reports that suggest both Harry and Meghan Markle may still carry on a "speaking" relationship of sorts with the iconic royal, who died nearly 27 years ago.

"At the Queen's Platinum Jubilee when Harry and Meghan were in that room, we kind of saw them peeking out; allegedly, Beatrice overheard Meghan say to Prince Harry: 'Your mum talked to me this morning during yoga and she’s really glad that we’re here,'" royal expert Kinsey Schofield told host Dan Wootton on his podcast.

"Coming unstuck" is also a fear that some close to the royal rebel prince have, thanks to his "turbulent" past with substance abuse and fighting paparazzi during the 2000s. Yet others feel that his inability to process his mother's death is likely at the root of some of his "current issues."

"The military sorted all that out," an ex-palace aide shared when mentioning Harry's "wild days" as a teenager and twenty-something. "I think a big problem is that he never completely processed Diana's sudden death. The poor boy was only 12 at the time, but he should have grown up years ago, let's be honest."
