It has recently developed a reputation for being critical of the British Establishment. So, it may come as a surprise to learn that even the Left-wing US newspaper The New York Times has run an article suggesting that Americans may be tired of Prince Harry’s complaints.
The paper’s former London correspondent Sarah Lyall yesterday wrote a piece headlined ‘Has Prince Harry’s Confessional Tour Run Its Course?’, asking whether the ‘tide seems to be turning’ in US attitudes towards the Sussexes. She said people in the US had a ‘soft spot for royals in exile’, but added that ‘there are only so many revelations the public can stomach’.
She asked if their ‘troubles’ had become ‘so repetitive or even tiresome’ that they had ‘eroded their personal brand’.
Miss Lyall wrote: ‘Once they have exhausted the topic of themselves, what is left for them to talk about?’
In 2021, Harry and Meghan did a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey for the CBS television network.
This was followed by the couple’s six-part Netflix documentary series which was released last month.
Now just weeks later the duke has been doing a series of TV interviews to promote his new memoir, Spare, including on ITV.
The New York Times article admitted that Harry, who was revealing private family details, was presenting a ‘stark contrast’ to William and Kate, who have publicly said ‘exactly nothing about any of this’.
It quoted a public relations expert, Jeffrey W. Schneider, who said there had been an ‘overload’ of Prince Harry and Meghan and questioned whether ‘maybe there is a natural limit to that’.
