Prince Harry vowing to “protect” the queen will have sent the rest of the royal family “off a ledge,” says author Tina Brown—and it’s not the only crisis roiling the monarchy
, which will likely become required reading for gossip-page addicts and royal historians alike.
that part of the purpose of his visit to the queen was to make sure his grandmother was being properly “protected.” “The queen is very, very fond of him but for him to laud his relationship with the queen, at a time when he should, frankly, be glad that she received him at all, seems really out of whack to me.“
“It’s been a great loss for William, I’m told,” Brown says. “He is deeply, deeply saddened by it, but he won’t talk about it, because he is triggered by it. He had no idea that this could happen, that this would be not just a tiff or a falling out but a deep and bitter estrangement that seems to have no exit right now.”
“It was a juvenile comment,” says Brown. “Harry was always thought to be a somewhat reckless and impetuous character but he’s proving to be more so as the years go by rather than less so. The Spencers are a hot-headed family. My feeling is that Harry is now all Spencer all the time and William has become a Windsor; he’s careful, he’s prudent, he’s considered, he’s calm, he’s a composed character who does a lot of thinking before he agrees to things.
