Prince Harry ‘has lost the plot’, claims longtime royal photographer

A controversial recent act by Prince Harry proves he’s “lost the plot”, according to someone who’s worked closely with him for years.

A royal photographer who has snapped Prince Harry throughout his life says that following his marriage to Meghan Markle, “he has simply lost the plot.”

Veteran royal photographer Arthur Edwards, 79, said of Harry’s criticism of the British Commonwealth, “to criticise the one thing the Queen cherishes above all things, which is preserving the Commonwealth, is an insult to her – no matter what the palace may say officially”.

“Any country can look back and find faults, but we learn from history and move on. Harry should stop listening to his wife, who is obviously filling him full of these ideas,” Edwards said.

The Commonwealth is a voluntary membership “family of nations” of 54 countries which grew out of the British Empire. The queen – who has visited 52 of those countries – views it as one of her greatest achievements.

Harry – who with Meghan were Commonwealth Youth Ambassadors until Megxit – said, “When you look across the Commonwealth, there is no way that we can move forward unless we acknowledge the past. So many people have done such an incredible job of acknowledging the past and trying to right those wrongs, but I think we all acknowledge there is so much more still to do.”

His words have been welcomed by many for being open to the uncomfortable facts that many countries in the Commonwealth are only part of it because England colonised them, and that work has to be done to push for equality.

Edwards added that Harry had changed following his marriage to Meghan.

“Unfortunately for the last couple of years he has gone completely sour … I’ve been photographing him since the day he was born, and it was down to her. I think the moment she married Harry, (she was thinking,) ‘Right, let’s get out of here as quick as we can’ … she had no intention of staying here … and she’s dragging Harry along … hopefully he comes to his senses soon.”
