Queen Elizabeth II’s press secretary slams Prince Harry in scathing documentary: ‘Stop being the victim’
Prince Harry needs to stop portraying himself as “the victim” because the public has had enough of hearing “how awful his life is,” according to a former palace staffer.
Ailsa Anderson, who had worked as the late Queen Elizabeth II’s press secretary for 12 years, slammed the Duke of Sussex for his “woe is me” antics in a scathing new documentary about the exiled royal.
Speaking in Channel 5’s documentary, titled “Prince Harry: My Terrible Year,” Anderson — who had worked “very closely” with the “Spare” author before his royal exit — said the duke is “too impulsive.”
“Stop being the victim and start being the hero of the piece, start writing your own script. I think people are just getting a little bit tired of how Prince Harry thinks the world is against him and how awful his life is,” said Anderon, who had worked for the late monarch from 2001 to 2013.
“I think trust is paramount in every walk of life, if you can’t trust your family, who can you trust?”
Anderson further asserted that if King Charles and Prince William, who have both been totally estranged from the Sussexes for years, were to welcome Harry back, “private information would then be leaked.”
Still, the former royal staffer added that the Invictus Games founder was a “very warm, engaging and kind person” who has simply lost his way.
Elsewhere in the doc, experts suggested that while the duke does want to reconcile with his loved ones, his “ego” remains in the way.
“Reconciliation is absolutely possible with moments of accountability and responsibility on both sides,” said psychotherapist Emma Reed Turrell.

“Stick a pin in your ego for a moment and focus not on being right, but being in a relationship. There needs to be forgiveness on both sides.”
The Post has reached out to Harry’s reps for comment.
Harry was last week cleared of bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogynoir allegations brought forward by Sentebale chair, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
The duke sensationally left his role as patron at the African charity, which he had co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, back in March following an internal dispute that sparked an investigation by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
And while the investigating body found “no evidence” of the claims against Harry, royal historian Tessa Dunlop claimed that the Sentebale scandal has been very damaging for the duke.
“I’m sure [the Sussexes] are not always easy to work with. She [Chandauka] weaponized Prince Harry’s own words used against him, suggesting Harry has been a malevolent influence on the direction of the charity.”
“We’re also still talking and writing about Harry, I think there is one thing worse than writing and talking about him, and that’s us going silent. Maybe he can find a new mission,” she added.
The Post has since confirmed that Harry is considering starting a new charity in the wake of the high-profile fiasco.
