New Documentary
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has once again stirred public debate with his latest decision to reveal private aspects of the royal family’s inner workings.
His new documentary, titled “Tabloids On Trial,” is set to air tonight on ITV1 and ITVX and has already generated significant controversy.
The documentary focuses on the phone hacking scandal involving Britain’s tabloid newspapers, and includes a rare interview with British journalist Rebecca Barry.
In the film, Prince Harry opens up about his ongoing efforts to expose what he describes as the “illegal activities” of Britain’s tabloid press.
This revelation is part of his broader mission to bring to light the unethical practices he believes are prevalent in the media.
A source close to the royal family has expressed unease about Prince Harry’s continued public disclosures.
Speaking to Express UK, the source conveyed that Harry’s actions are at odds with the royal family’s longstanding tradition of handling issues privately.
“Never complain, never explain” has been the Royal Family’s guiding principle for over a century.
While acknowledging that some of Harry’s criticisms might be justified, the source emphasized that the royal family prefers to avoid being entangled in additional public media controversies.
This new documentary is viewed by some as another chapter in the growing rift between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family.
The source noted that the royal family would favor a media blackout and a rebuilding of trust over further public disputes.
They suggested that a more private approach might lead to improved relations. “If there was some kind of media blackout and trust built between Harry and the family, it could lead to a better relationship,” the source said.
“But as long as he continues to speak out or make comments about the Royal Family, it’s unlikely that this will happen. He just needs to learn to keep quiet.”
The documentary’s release and the ensuing reactions underscore the ongoing tension between Prince Harry and the royal family, highlighting the challenges of navigating public and private spheres in the spotlight.
