Carol McGiffin has said Prince Harry needs to stop “acting like a perpetual victim,” while discussing his upcoming TV interviews on the latest episode of Loose Women.
It comes ahead of two new interviews with Prince Harry, 38, airing over the weekend. He will appear both on ITV in the UK and CBS in America on Sunday, ahead of his memoir Spare being released next week.
Teaser clips have been released in advance showing the youngest son of King Charles III, 74, saying that he wants to reconcile with his family.
The news prompted discussion on Loose Women – with Brenda Edwards speculating that Prince Harry may want “acknowledgement” from his family.

She suggested that he might be seeking acknowledgement from them over the way that he and his wife Meghan Markle, 41, have been treated.
Her co-star Carol, 62, however disagreed. She said: “The problem is his. He’s the one with the problem [and] who keeps going on about. [And] he doesn’t say what he wants.”

Carol said Prince Harry “acknowledges himself that the Royal Family ‘never complain, never explain’”.
She continued: “They know full well that even if [the Royal Family] did think they were in the wrong and gave them an apology or acknowledgement, Harry and Meghan would make it public so it’s not going to happen.”

She said reconcilation can happen, adding: “It needs to start with Harry putting a sock in it frankly. He does need to stop going on and acting like he’s a perpetual victim because he’s not.”
Carol further commented that it’s a “one-sided story,” adding: “We only hear what [him and Meghan] want to say. The Royal Family are never going to say anything”.
Prince Harry’s ongoing discussions about his family have once again ignited debate, with Loose Women’s Carol McGiffin expressing frustration at what she perceives as his tendency to play the victim.
The upcoming interviews with Prince Harry, scheduled to air on both ITV and CBS this weekend, have raised anticipation among royal watchers.
Teaser clips hint at his desire for reconciliation with his family, prompting speculation from Loose Women’s Brenda Edwards about his motives.
While Brenda suggested that Prince Harry may be seeking acknowledgment for the mistreatment he and Meghan Markle have allegedly faced, Carol took a different stance.
She pointed out that Prince Harry himself has acknowledged the Royal Family’s traditional approach of not publicly addressing controversies. According to Carol, Prince Harry’s repeated claims of victimhood do little to foster potential reconciliation with his family.
Carol emphasized the importance of Prince Harry taking a more proactive approach to resolving any issues, rather than portraying himself as a perpetual victim.
She noted that the narrative being presented to the public is largely one-sided, highlighting the lack of public statements from the Royal Family in response to Prince Harry’s assertions.
In order for reconciliation to occur, Carol emphasized the need for Prince Harry to shift his focus away from portraying himself as a victim and instead engage in more constructive dialogue.
By refraining from continually airing grievances in public, Carol believes Prince Harry could pave the way for more meaningful reconciliation efforts.
Only time will tell whether Prince Harry’s upcoming interviews will shed further light on his perspective and intentions regarding his relationship with the Royal Family. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing saga.
