MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: Royal expert Ingrid Seward described Prince Harry as "very stubborn" following his interview with the BBC on Friday, May 2, reported The Sun.

The Duke of Sussex stepped back from his royal duties and moved to the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children in March 2020, following which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures decided to scale down his protection when he would visit the UK.

Harry had launched a legal bid against the move, offering to pay for his security expenses himself, but the appeal was rejected by the court. In light of the legal trouble, Harry's father, King Charles, has also lost confidence in him, insiders revealed to the publication.

Royal expert's opinion on Prince Harry

Royal expert Ingrid Seward felt that Prince Harry's 30-minute-long interview with the BBC proved that he always thinks of himself as being in the right, which is why he has lost the trust of his father.

Although Harry claimed to have "forgiven" his family, he still blamed them for the loss of his UK security. The 40-year-old also dropped a bombshell, revealing that King Charles, 76, refuses to speak to him because of the "security stuff."

"The impression from that quite lengthy and revealing interview is that Harry is obsessive. He is very, very stubborn. He doesn't think he is wrong; he always thinks he is right," stated Seward. "He does appear to be very fragile, but he's not prepared to say sorry."

"He's not prepared to apologise because he doesn't think he has any need to apologise, because he thinks he is right and everyone else is in the wrong."

While she agreed to the Prince facing very real threats in the outside world, Seward argued, "But does he really think that the British government is going to allow him to be killed? I mean, can you imagine how dreadful that would be?"

"Half of me felt very sympathetic to Harry, and half of me felt angry with him. He just refuses to see any way except Harry's way," she added. "I don't think Harry thinks of anyone else but himself and his family, and what affects him immediately. I don't think he feels he has any reason to apologise, and instead people should be apologising to him."

King Charles allegedly frustrated with Prince Harry

The long-drawn legal feud has not helped Prince Harry's position with King Charles, claimed Ingrid Seward. Her position is backed by insider sources familiar with the matter, who claim that the King is in a "very unenviable position" with the Prince.

"He (Charles) can't trust him (Harry) because everything he says gets repeated," said Seward. "We didn't know for sure that Charles and Harry hadn't spoken, but now we know."

"Nothing seems to be sacred. He seems unable to trust Harry. If you can't trust someone, then you have to tread around them very carefully, and I don't think Charles has the time or the desire to do that at the moment. I think it's an impasse," she continued. "Harry is accusatory and throws more and more things at him and then infers that his father may not have much longer to live, that could be said for any of us, we don't know."
