During Channel 5’s Royal Family documentary ‘Charles & Harry: Father and Son Divided’ royal commentators Julie Montagu and Anjula Mutanda discussed Prince Charles and Prince Harry’s relationship. Ms Montagu stated that the Prince of Wales was knocked to the ground by several verbal digs targetted at him by the Duke of Sussex during his interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

Ms Montagu said: “The person who was really knocked to the ground in that interview with several punches was Prince Charles 100 percent.

“The takeaway from that interview was that there is a real rift, there is real distance, there is real anger.”

Ms Mutanda added: “You could see that it was difficult for Harry to speak about his relationship with his family.

“But at the same time, he wanted to, he wanted to get a message through that he has struggled deeply with what has been going on.

“And that there are fractures in the relationships.

“These are seismic statements to make about one’s own family members.

“I wonder from Charles’ point of view, he would have felt very exposed by his son.”

According to royal commentator Katie Nicholl, Prince Harry is happy with the reception his explosive recent remarks have received.

Ms Nicholl told ET the UK is shocked Prince Harry went as far as he did in discussing the “pain and suffering” of his childhood in the Royal Family following the Duke of Sussex latest swipe at Prince Charles’ parenting during an interview on the Armchair Expert podcast.

She said: “I think there is quite a lot of shock over here in the UK that Prince Harry went as far as he did.

“I think the podcast certainly raised eyebrows over at the Palace.

“To have Prince Harry [instead of] build bridges, openly criticise his father and possibly even his grandparents.

“It is quite surprising.”

Ms Nicholl added: “It does seem that this is yet another example of Prince Harry criticising his father who of course came under some fire in that Oprah interview.

“My understanding is both with the Oprah interview and this recent podcast, Prince Harry feels both of them have gone down very well.

“He predicted and anticipated there would be this type of backlash in the British press.”
