In the latest development within the British royal family, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been advised to keep their eldest son, Prince George, away from his uncle, Prince Harry. This advice comes from Angela Levin, a former biographer of Prince Harry, who expressed concerns about Harry's potential negative influence on the young prince.
Levin, who has written extensively about the Duke of Sussex's life, shared her thoughts with OK Magazine. She emphasized that Prince George, who is second in line to the throne, has a more stable family environment than his father and uncle had growing up. "Kate and William are there to help him [George]," Levin said. "But he needs to be kept away from Harry's negative influence."
The biographer's comments come amidst ongoing tensions within the royal family, largely stemming from Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal duties and his subsequent revelations about his experiences growing up in the royal family. His explosive memoir, "Spare," has caused a significant rift, particularly his candid discussions about his struggles as the spare heir behind his brother, William.
Harry's concerns extend to his niece and nephew, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who, like him, are not direct heirs to the throne. "I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that hurts, that worries me," he wrote in his book.
Tom Bower, another royal expert, echoed Levin's sentiments, suggesting that Prince George should distance himself from his uncle. Bower noted that Kate Middleton attempted to reconcile the brothers at their grandfather's funeral in 2021, but after the release of Harry's book and documentary, she reportedly gave up on the effort.
"I really don't think Kate wants to see Harry again. Of course, Prince George will be oblivious to all this - Harry will simply be forever marginalized in his memory," Bower said.
Despite the strained relationships, reports suggest that King Charles is the only royal who still maintains contact with Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. However, even this relationship is reportedly strained due to Harry's accusations of leaks and mistreatment by the royal family.
As the royal family navigates these complex dynamics, the focus remains on protecting the young generation from the fallout. The advice to keep Prince George away from his uncle's influence underscores the ongoing efforts to shield the future king from the family's internal conflicts.
