The Duke of Sussex gave a wind-ranging interview with American actor Dax Shepard for his Armchair Expert podcast, where Harry discusses topics such as receiving therapy, mental health and his father’s parenting. During the 90-minute chat, Harry appeared to criticise the way he had been raised by his father and the wider Royal Family. This remark has been heavily criticised by a royal expert, who accuses Harry of throwing Prince Charles, the Queen and the late Prince Philip “under the bus”.

Robert Jobson, a leading royal commentator, has criticised Harry for the comments made in the podcast.

He wrote on Twitter: “So Prince Haz has not only thrown his dad under the bus, but the Queen and late grandpa too for their parenting style.

“Forgive me, but he’s been a dad for how long?

“Perhaps he should pen a book on how to parent properly drawing on his wealth of experience? For “charity” of course.”

The royal expert went on to accuse Harry of “shameless behaviour” for his continued bashing of the Royal Family.

Speaking to Sunrise, an Australian breakfast show, Mr Jobson said: “You’ve got to take some of it seriously because he believes it in himself, you know, mental health is a big big issue out there.

“But to keep harping on about this, it’s getting embarrassing.

“To not only criticise his father’s parenting skills, but also the Queen and Prince Philip who has only just had his funeral, I think it smacks of pretty shameful behaviour.”

During Harry’s chat with Mr Shepard, the royal said he was trying to break the cycle of “pain or suffering” when bringing up his son, Archie.

When asked if he was consciously trying to parent his son in a different way to his own upbringing, he said: “Yeah… Isn’t life about breaking the cycle?

“There’s no blame. But certainly when it comes to parenting, if I have experienced some kind of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father, or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so I don’t pass it on.

“As parents we should be doing the most we can to say, you know what, that happened to me, I’m going to make sure it won’t happen to you.”
