Royal Family News: Prince Harry Should Ditch Selfish Ambitions, Serve Commonwealth

British royal family news shows that there are some royal experts who believe Prince Harry still has time to behave like an old dog and learn new tricks. Royal writer Hugo Vickers published “A Royal Life,” on October 11, with the queen’s cousin the Duke of Kent Prince Edward. Edward is the son of Prince George and the younger brother of King George VI, who was the queen’s father. He inherited the title of Duke of Kent at age seven when his father died in a wartime accident in 1942.

The book explores the bond between Edward and Elizabeth. Vickers declares that there are many lessons Harry can glean from Queen Elizabeth’s cousin.

Royal Family News – The Queen Passed On September 8

Britain’s longest-serving monarch passed away on September 8 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at age 96.

Vickers told Fox News Digital: “The press, as you can imagine, have said this book was clearly written as a sort of rebuke to Prince Harry – well, no, it wasn’t. We all understand that’s what people are going to say, and the duke understands that too… But there are [some] lessons Harry can learn from the duke.”

“One is not to compete with the monarch. The royal family is there to support the monarch. They’re not there to do their own thing. You work with the system…. You are working for the Commonwealth and the nation, not for yourself. [The Duke and Duchess of Sussex] are setting up their own enterprises and things like that. And perhaps it works well for them. But a member of the royal family serves the system that they’re in. Not themselves.”

Royal Family News – Harry Serves Himself?

Vickers also pondered Harry’s supposed memoir which is MIA. According to Vickers, “If [the publisher] gave him an enormous amount of money to write this book, they’re going to want a lot of material, aren’t they?”

He added, “This is just my theory, but when companies hire people like Prince Harry and offer these deals, say one worth $2 million, they won’t give him the entire deal instantly. They might offer him half upfront and the other when the project is completed. And then if the deal doesn’t work or something goes wrong, they can get more publicity out of canceling it.”

Royal Family News – Harry Should Serve The Commonwealth?

Vickers thinks that Harry is out of his, “depth… It’s a lot safer in the long run to help the Commonwealth. You’re serving your causes and doing things for the general good instead of for yourself.” But how fun is that when Harry can be the roasted toast of Tinseltown?
