Prince Harry is once again at the center of public controversy following his recent BBC interview, which has drawn fierce criticism, most notably from British columnist Carole Malone, who launched a scathing attack in Express UK, calling him an ‘idiot manchild.’
Malone’s strongly worded opinion piece accuses the Duke of Sussex of exploiting his father, King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, to elicit public sympathy, a move she deemed deeply inappropriate and self-centered.

The outrage stems from Harry’s remarks during the interview, particularly when he said, “I want to reconcile with him because I don’t know how long he’s got left. But he won’t speak to me.”
This comment, according to Malone, crossed a line. “How damn well dare he suggest his father might die before he gets to see him,” she wrote. “Like the pain would be all about him and not his father.”
Malone went on to accuse Harry of turning a private family health crisis into a public spectacle, suggesting that he made the comment not out of genuine concern for King Charles but to position himself as the wounded son in the public eye. “How dare he open the door to suggestions that King Charles’s cancer could be so serious that he ‘might not have long left,’” she added.
She further lambasted Harry’s pattern of behavior, criticizing what she described as his continued refusal to take responsibility. “He is 40 years old but STILL he’s throwing his toys out of the pram, bleating and whining that the Establishment and his family are out to stitch him up,” Malone wrote, expressing frustration at the Duke’s ongoing grievances with the Royal Family.

“Will he never learn?” she asked, before concluding, “because just when you think this idiot manchild couldn’t sink any lower, he does exactly that.” Malone also highlighted how, since King Charles’s diagnosis, the Palace and the media have been cautious and respectful in their coverage.
“From the minute the King’s cancer was diagnosed and throughout his treatment, no one, not the royals themselves, not Buckingham Palace, not the media, has ever suggested he might die because it’s just not something that should be speculated about on a public platform,” she pointed out.
She concluded with a sharp rebuke, writing, “We all have too much respect for the King to do that. Yet Harry somehow thinks he can raise the spectre of it so that we will feel sorry for HIM, the son so cruelly abandoned by the father he loves.”
