Prince Harry has opened up about reconciliation with his family in his first GQ interview since his U.K. return. A new poll indicates that his comments have drawn a fierce response from royal watchers. This comes at a time when the Duke of Sussex’s ties with the royal family remain strained, with Prince William reportedly in no mood to make amends with his estranged younger brother.
Here’s what royal fans think about Prince Harry’s latest interview
Prince Harry‘s recent remarks on his family have prompted a strong public reaction, with a new survey gauging British opinion on the non-working royal’s standing. In a recent sit-down with GQ’s Zach Baron for the weekly interview series “One More Question,” the Duke reflected on the ongoing feud with King Charles and Prince William. He noted that “scars stick around forever” while stressing that “the most important thing is to reconcile.”
Following the interview published on October 20, a spokesperson for the Sussexes clarified that Harry’s comment that “some people don’t want it to work out” was a general observation and “absolutely not intended as a swipe” at his father or brother. However, it adds to the series of public remarks he has made about his family situation.
After that, the Daily Express ran a poll asking readers if Prince Harry “should stop giving interviews about the Royal Family.” The survey was live from 3:10 pm on Tuesday, October 20 to 9:55 am on October 21 and drew 4,409 votes in that short span.
An overwhelming 4,295 respondents representing 98 percent said that the 42-year-old prince should stop discussing his family in public interviews. Meanwhile, only 101 people or 2 percent felt he should continue, and 13 voters remained unsure.
Readers also shared their views in the comments section. One person wrote, “Letting go, that’s what you suggest. Then we can enjoy you not whining about your Mother every 5 seconds. Let it go Harry, as you said in your interview.” Another echoed, “It’s all about being relevant and the financial and other perks that come with rejoining the firm.”
