Roya Nikkhah wrote a long article for the Sunday Times. Nikkhah has been a "favorite" at both Kensington Palace as well as Buckingham Palace in recent years, but I associate her with Prince William more than the other royals. Nikkhah's exclusives have been very interesting and Peg-specific in the past few years. That's all I can say. Roya's sources in the palace were very chatty and it was all about Prince Harry. Both the palace and British media are terrified. These people don't just say that. They also complain and cry about how they can no longer control Harry and that he is causing them real harm. Hahahahaha. Hahahahaha.

Sighs of frustration: Harry's repeated claims that "the institution" has failed to defend him and Meghan in the British media have caused royal households to sigh and roll their eyes. Former aides to the couple who have defended them in the media and pushed the relationship to the limit recall Elizabeth II's words: "Some memories may vary."

Palace courtiers swear Harry never asked if he had been hacked as a child. But last week, his claim that the alleged hacking of MGN's phones was "contained in the palace" made a former senior courtier who was working with William and Harry at that time scratch their heads. "Did you keep anything from him?" No. It never crossed our desk that the Mirror did this while I was working there. I never spoke to either prince about where the Mirror gets its stories.

Harry is a liar for suing the press after he has received positive coverage! Prince Harry said that he would consider it an "injustice" if the phone hacking could not be proven. But the former aide claims: "It is a way to get revenge against the tabloids, and a chance to pursue this mission, win or loss." He will not want to lose but he'll have the chance to say "this is how it was for me, my wife, and my girlfriend". In his book he said a lot of this, but having it confirmed in court gives it an added layer of credibility. All those millions from the book deal and Netflix were probably used to build up a war chest so he could continue to fight the tabloids to the bitter end. He forgets that he has had positive media coverage for many years. He only remembers bad reviews, like an actor.

Harry's political comment. One barbed statement in Harry's 55 page witness statement made Palace staff tense, as the constitution requires the royal family to remain "above politics". Five-in-line-to-the-throne wrote that "our country is judged by the state our press and government, which both I believe are at rock-bottom." Has the prince who has travelled around the world representing Britain for years forgotten that Britain's royal family is also judged by others internationally? Many thought his comment was a terrible mistake, while others thought it was unconstitutional. What must the royal family think of their exiled, unelected prince who attacks this country's representatives?

Why do they care so much about what an "exiled Prince" says? The source said: "The Palace would find this extremely uncomfortable because you cannot fully separate yourself from an institution. It will have raised eyebrows both on the other side of the park - at Westminster as well - not to mention that it wasn't needed for his core case. It only highlights the importance and wisdom of [Elizabeth's] Sandringham decisions [the family summit held in January 2020], and that you can't be half-in, half-out. These decisions are the insurance for the royal family. When one of their members breaks with tradition, they can say that he's speaking as Harry Windsor and not as the Duchess of Sussex, a working member of royal family who represents the nation. It is ironic that a royal family member would speak about how the nation is judged in the world. This is usually done by the royals. He has a profound misunderstanding."

Harry embarrasses Britain! Harry is embarrassing Britain! A source close to Harry says, "I think that he has been in Californian sun for a while, hanging out James Corden (the actor and TV presenter) and lost all instincts about how to behave as a royal. He has lost his sense of what he is allowed to and not allow to say. There are no people around him who can tell him, "No, Harry. You can't do that. Take that out." It is embarrassing for Harry and for Britain for a Prince to say, "We have a sh*t government."

Harry has brushed off the "threats of the monarchy": In reality, Harry doesn't care about anything because he is aware that there are no real consequences for his actions and that the monarchy does not have any more levers. He continues to ignore raised royal eyebrows, veiled threats and other annoyances. He may have kicked his son from Frogmore Cottage, and placed him in the third row of Westminster Abbey to watch his coronation. This was done behind Princess Anne’s plumed hat. A royal insider said that this detail caused "much laughter" amongst the family as they wondered where the plume had ended up. The Sussexes kept their titles, as well as those of Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet. This proves that, however unconstitutional the words or actions of the Sussexes may have been, the punishment was unlikely to be more severe than fiddling around with seating arrangements for state occasions.

Charles, 74 is increasingly frustrated, according to those who know him. Source: "The King brings Harry to my attention every time I meet him." I don't believe we've moved beyond sad and bewildered but there's more frustration with his behaviour because it keeps on going.

Harry is free. A friend of Harry says, "He is no longer bound by that mentality." Meghan is someone who supports his stance, and that gives him confidence. The bigger picture is that, in his opinion, there are many wrongs which need to be corrected. It goes deeper than wanting to have his day in court.

Harry's willingness to endure this torment is explained by a former courtier: "I believe he is looking for inner peace, and the media becomes his target. He thinks that if he could bring the media under control, it would cure his pain. Unfortunately, I do not think so. He still defends his mother. "Nothing will ever take away that pain."

The Times

"I never spoke to either prince about where the Mirror got those stories?' Harry was still a young boy and already knew that his dogsh*t father was informing the media about him. Why would he talk to courtiers who were slandering him? He was under siege, and he didn't even know who to believe. The palace is surprised that they are finding out now after so much faking around. Harry can say what he likes, sue whomever he chooses, and criticize British media stranglehold over the British government. Windsors and courtiers are able to soothe themselves by their pettiness. Harry was sitting in the third row! While admitting the jig's up, they have done everything possible to marginalize Harry, punish Harry, and threaten Harry. But Harry still rises from the ashes like a phoenix.
