Following the most recent Victory in Europe (VE) Day celebrations—commemorating the unconditional surrender of Germany’s armed forces in World War II—Prince Harry’s growing distance from the Royal Family has once again sparked widespread conversation.
Royal author Robert Jobson and veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards delved into the topic during The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, offering candid perspectives on the Duke of Sussex’s increasingly isolated life in the United States.

Jobson was the first to comment, suggesting that Harry may be experiencing a sense of regret. “Maybe there was a degree of that bitterness in what he gave that interview with the BBC, a sense, again, he wasn’t there—and he knows he should be there,” he said.
While many continue to point fingers at Meghan Markle, Jobson clarified, “A lot of people blame Meghan for a lot, I don’t blame her at all. I think he’s got to be man enough to make his own decisions, and some of the decisions he’s made have been absolutely wrong.”
He added that Harry’s public fallout might have been avoidable. “Nobody said you shouldn’t go away and have a private life, but if he hadn’t done the book and if he hadn’t done the Oprah interview, there’s no doubt in my view that he would have been invited back to do certain things.”
Photographer Arthur Edwards echoed those sentiments. “And when he had the chance to correct a lot of it, he didn’t do that. He didn’t say, ‘Look, I probably got that wrong, Dad, and I’m sorry, William.’ I mean, what he did was pretty treacherous,” he remarked.
Edwards was referring to several controversial interviews Prince Harry has given since stepping down from royal duties. One notable example was a BBC interview following his unsuccessful appeal for taxpayer-funded security, in which he said, “I have no idea how much longer my father has—he is no longer speaking to me—but it would be nice to reconcile.”

In a 60 Minutes appearance, Harry alleged manipulation by palace officials: “They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information… but the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting.”
In The Me You Can’t See on Apple TV+, he claimed, “Every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect.” These remarks, coupled with interviews with Oprah in 2021, ITV in 2023, and a 2024 conversation in New York, have only intensified the perception of a widening rift—one that royal experts suggest Harry may one day come to deeply regret.
