Prince Harry’s latest interview with the BBC, following his legal loss over security, is seen as a message to the royal family, according to consultant psychiatrist Dr. Raj Persaud. Harry’s remarks targeted his father, King Charles, accusing the Court of Appeal and the Government of a ‘stitch-up.’

Dr. Persaud suggests that, with other communication channels closed off (Harry claims the King won’t take his calls), this interview may be an attempt to force attention from the family. He believes Harry’s actions could be a form of emotional blackmail, sending the message that he will continue speaking out until his grievances are taken seriously.

Dr. Persaud observed that the Duke of Sussex seems emotionally stuck, unable to move on despite losing his legal battle. He appears so convinced of his position that he can’t grasp that being right doesn’t guarantee getting what he wants.

The psychiatrist suggests that Harry is still haunted by the death of his mother, which may influence his fight for security and decisions. However, Dr. Persaud believes that Harry’s angry responses are counterproductive and will only worsen his relationship with the Palace.

Palace insiders share this view, noting that Harry’s comment about the King’s health was in particularly “poor taste” and will likely deepen the rift with his family.
