The biting nickname royal staff had for Prince Harry has reportedly been revealed. It comes amid his UK visit, reigniting talk about his ties to the institution he left in 2020. This adds to a long-running narrative about the Duke of Sussex’s strained relationship with royal staff and senior family members.
Royal staff reportedly gave a brutal nickname to Prince Harry
Prince Harry made his way back to the UK, but the focus shifted to a feud over royal accommodation with a scathing three-word nickname re-emerging. The Duke flew in from California to back the upcoming Invictus Games in Birmingham, scheduled for July 2027.
According to Prince Harry’s team, Buckingham Palace offered him a room during his visit. Palace officials then withdrew the offer at the eleventh hour. However, royal sources claim that the offer stood for a time, with a fixed deadline for staff preparations. They contend that the Duke’s team failed to respond by that deadline, as reported by the Daily Mirror.
Amid all the turmoil, a three-word nickname linked to both Harry and his uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has come back into circulation. Speaking on the Sun’s Royal Exclusive podcast, The Times’ Royal Editor Kate Mansey revealed the pointed moniker. “It was Dukes of Hazard, that’s the nickname they had for Andrew and Harry because hazard, chaos followed both of them,” she said.
Mansey explained that mentions of Prince Andrew and the Duke of Sussex now prompted immediate concern at the Palace. Palace officials told her that disruption followed every visit from Prince Harry and called it a recurring pattern.
Weeks before any trip, briefings from his camp outline possible arrangements. Speculation arises about the children joining him, and about his desire to bring them. The discussions then turn to the familiar disagreement over security.
“Despite he lost his legal battle to have automatic right to UK police security. It’s always presented as a pressing and urgent issue. It seems every time he comes palace courtiers get more and more weary with it and frankly I think the public do too,” Mansey concluded.
