In the series, Harry discussed the difficulties that emerge when a person marrying into the royal family starts to overshadow those born into it. He explained, "The problem arises when someone marrying into the family, who should be playing a supporting role, starts to attract more attention or performs their duties better than those who are born into this role. That's what upsets people. It changes the dynamics."
Harry shared a conversation he had with his father, King Charles, regarding the issue. He recalled, "My dad told me, 'Darling boy, you can't take on the media. The media will always be the media.' And I responded, 'I fundamentally disagree.'"
The prince went on to explain, "William and I both witnessed what happened in our dad's office, and we made a pact that we would never allow the same thing to happen in our office." He expressed his disappointment, saying, "I would much rather face criticism in the media than participate in this game of trading. It was heartbreaking to see my brother's office do exactly what we promised each other we would never do."
Harry's revelation sheds light on his divergent approach to handling media scrutiny compared to the advice given by King Charles. It also highlights the complexities within the royal family and the differing perspectives on managing media intrusion.
