Commentator says Duke, not Duchess, made key mistakes that deepened family divide
Meghan Markle has been publicly defended as blame for the ongoing royal fallout shifts toward Prince Harry, following renewed scrutiny after his latest BBC interview.
Royal expert Robert Jobson spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, claiming the Duke of Sussex has made a series of poor decisions that damaged his relationship with the royal family — decisions he believes Harry must take full responsibility for.
Reacting to Harry’s recent remarks and his ongoing legal troubles in the UK, Jobson said, “Maybe there was a degree of that bitterness in what he gave that interview with the BBC… a sense, again, he wasn't there – and he knows he should be there.”
Challenging the narrative that Meghan sparked the rift, he added, “A lot of people blame Meghan for a lot, I don't blame her at all. I think he's got to be man enough to make his own decisions, and some of the decisions he's made have been absolutely got wrong.”
Jobson pointed specifically to Harry’s controversial memoir Spare and his interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying those actions likely cost him invitations to key royal events, including recent VE Day celebrations. “Nobody said you shouldn't go away and have a private life, but… if he hadn't done the book and the Oprah interview, there's no doubt… he would have been invited back,” he said.
