It’s actually quite staggering to look back at some of the things Harry said and wrote just a year ago as he was promoting his autobiography Spare.
The bitterness and rancour didn’t just drip from the ghost-written pages, he also gave interview after interview in which he appeared to accuse his family of racism, self-promotion, sacrificing him for their own personal gain and, last but not least, generally being an institution that was unfit for purpose.
In effect, a royal was saying that the monarchy doesn’t work and the whole shooting match needs complete reform.
In terms of reputational damage, I’m not sure that Harry could have said anything more damaging.
Now, I understand that Harry wants a reconciliation.
