Royal source: Late Queen would be ‘truly horrified’ by Prince Harry interview

Prince Harry’s words about his father’s cancer were in “poor taste” and his new outburst shows there is “nothing that can be trusted to remain private”, according to an exasperated response from some palace insiders.

The comments to ITV News came within hours of Harry’s new TV interview which he gave after losing his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements when he’s in the UK.

A source also said that Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, would have been “horrified” by it all.

The official response from Buckingham Palace yesterday to Prince Harry’s latest claims was more measured, but you can still hear the deep sigh which was let out as it was written.

It’s all been looked at in great detail, said a palace spokesperson, and the courts have come to the same conclusion every time.

But behind palace walls, there was more than just a collective eye roll.

What many insiders actually thought about Harry’s interview was that he was, once again, further alienating his family and pushing back the already slim chances of reconciliation.
