According to a recent report, Prince Harry has been accused of resurrecting family issues for his own benefit. Royal expert Robert Lacey weighed in on the Duke of Sussex's various projects ahead of his attendance at King Charles' coronation.

Is Prince Harry Profiting from Family Turmoil? Royal historian Robert Lacey, the author of the 2020 book Battle of Brothers: William and Harry — the Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, claims that Prince Harry is becoming a "figure of fun" in the United States.

Lacey's comments came after Prince Harry released his memoir, Spare, in January. The book contains several allegations against his brother, Prince William, sister-in-law Kate Middleton, stepmother Queen Camilla, and father, King Charles.

Lacey, speaking on GB News (via Express), argued that Prince Harry's actions could overshadow his father's significant event, the coronation. He stated, "At this moment of such importance in his father's life, [he is] resurrecting these matters for essentially his own profit. What's interesting at the moment is even in America, the once popular Sussexes are now figures of fun."

A recent survey indicated that Prince Harry's net approval rating was 20 percent, with 26 percent of respondents disliking him. His popularity fell after he and Meghan Markle released their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, which unveiled numerous issues between the Sussexes and the royal family.

Prince Harry's Alleged Support for His Father TalkTV's royal correspondent, Sarah Hewson, also shared her thoughts on the matter. She believes that the Sussexes' interview with Oprah Winfrey strained their relationship with the royal family, stating, "There is no doubt that the Oprah interview, the Netflix documentary, and the book Spare have caused immeasurable damage to the relationship between Harry and his family."

Despite their strained relationship, Hewson thinks Prince Harry should attend his father's coronation. "Coming on his own is going to be a daunting prospect for him, but he has to be there. His dad really wanted him to be there; it would have been very sad if he wasn't."

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the Duke of Sussex will attend the event. However, his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children will remain in California.

Prince Harry's decision to attend the coronation has elicited mixed reactions. Nonetheless, sources claim he intends only to support his father. An insider told The Telegraph, "It is about showing up, showing support and being there for his father. It was a very personal decision, not a PR one."
