Prince Harry ‘blinded by his sour grapes’ in bitter feud with Prince William
Prince Harry was “blinded by sour grapes” in his bitter feud with Prince William, a royal commentator has claimed.
The first part of the Prince of Wales’s new documentary on the homelessness crisis was released on ITV on Wednesday evening.
The documentary has been widely praised and shows Prince William’s determination to end homelessness.
The royal also opens up on when his mother, the late Princess Diana, took him to a homeless shelter and what she taught him about the crisis.
Royal commentator Dr Tessa Dunlop said: “ITV’s ‘Prince William, Together We Can End Homelessness’ wasn’t just moving television, it reframed the Prince of Wales as a future ‘King of hearts’.
“In the opening of his memoir Spare, Harry insisted that William with his ‘alarming baldness’ was losing his ‘famous resemblance to Mummy.’ It was fading apparently.
“The Duke of Sussex, blinded by his own sibling-sour grapes, couldn’t be more wrong.
“Last night, William channelled Diana. The same big-eyed stare, the same capacity to make the unseen in society feel seen, the same sincerity; as William readily owned, he had ‘taken guidance from what my mother did.
Dr Dunlop added: “As a charity boss casually observed, William isn’t just a celebrity, he is a ‘super celebrity’ and his capacity to work that status was there for all to see.
“When else would an issue like homelessness get two consecutive slots on prime-time TV?”
“As for questions about the prince owning too many palaces to be a credible homelessness champion – he faced down that accusation by front-lining Windsor Castle mid-documentary to underscore his status as the man who can.
“Former street sleeper Wayne didn’t care, he just wanted a platform to tell his story.”
The second part of the documentary will air on ITV this evening.
The documentary will be available to international audiences on Disney+ from Friday, November 1.
Prince Harry’s new series will be released on Netflix one month after Prince William’s documentary hits Disney+.
Polo, a five-part series co-produced by Prince Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions is set to be released in December.
However, a source has said that Harry will not feature heavily in the programme.
