Prince Harry in a recent podcast interview has suggested that Meghan Markle is behind his attacks on the royal family.

“My wife had the most amazing explanation … you don’t need to be a princess, you can create [a] life that will be better than any princess,” Harry told Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert. “And that’s coming from her own lived experience.”

Harry suggested Meghan’s comments completely changed his view of royal life and set him up for the situation he’s in now, publicly criticising his family and lashing out at Prince Charles’ parenting skills.

The younger son of Charles and Princess Diana compared his royal life to The Truman Show, suggesting growing up in palaces, being waited on hand and foot and attending the world’s top schools was “like being an animal at the zoo.”

Harry’s remarks have not gone over well. Many pointed to apparent hypocrisy in the amount of publicity Harry and Meghan have sought since their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, which reportedly left Prince Charles “fuming.“
