‘Fragile’ Prince Harry says he’s ‘never felt stronger’ and hits out at ‘out-of-touch’ royals’ reaction to ITV doc
PRINCE Harry has hit back at his brother’s claims he is “fragile” by insisting he has never felt stronger.
He also accused the royal institution of failing to support him and his wife Meghan.
Sources close to the Duke of Sussex told The Sun the reaction to ITV’s Harry and Meghan documentary was hysterical and panicked.
They say the royal institution fears it looks out of touch and to blame for the lack of backing.
Harry went public with his feud with Prince William on Sunday night in interviews with ITV’s Tom Bradby for Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.
He said the pair had good and bad days and were on “different paths”.
Meghan also said she was struggling with the scrutiny of being a royal and branded the British stiff-upper-lip attitude damaging.
Royal insiders have criticised Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, for airing their problems publicly.
And William, 37, reportedly said his brother “is in a fragile place”.
But one of the sources close to Harry responded by telling The Sun last night : “Harry is back at Frogmore Cottage and has never been stronger.
“This is an institution full of people panicked they may potentially look out of touch and ultimately to blame for a lack of support.”
Another royal insider said: “There is an obvious rift between the brothers and it’s been getting worse over the past few months.”
This is an institution full of people panicked they may potentially look out of touch and ultimately to blame for a lack of support.
In a briefing to US media yesterday, a source close to Harry and Meghan said they had “single-handedly modernised the monarchy”.
CNN also reported claims the monarchy was “inexperienced at how to best help harness and deploy the value of the royal couple”.

Meghan has made her first public engagement since Sunday’s documentary on her struggles as a royal and problems adopting a British “stiff upper lip”.
She was photographed in an eye-catching purple dress at the One Young World event — a “global forum for young leaders” which she backed before she wed.
But Meghan kept quiet at the Royal Albert Hall on the fallout from the ITV show — or Harry’s rift with brother William.
