Prince Harry's Old Pals Dunk On Him Over 'Unforgivable Behavior' As They Label BBC Interview 'Disgusting'

Prince Harry seems to be losing more support as his former pals have turned on him over his recent BBC interview.

The Duke of Sussex made several shocking remarks and even hinted at King Charles' health during the interview after he lost his appeal to restore his police protection in the UK.

Now, several of Prince Harry's old pals have made scathing statements condemning his behavior.

While royal experts and biographers have lambasted Harry for his recent remarks about the British monarchy, the duke's old pals have also spoken out to criticize his actions.

One of the most significant comments comes from Harry's friend, Ben Goldsmith, a 40-year-old financier who grew up with the prince and was very close to his late mother, Princess Diana's family.

Goldsmith publicly blasted Harry, saying, "Tragic but true – Prince Harry's behaviour is unforgivable."

According to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden, several other close pals of the duke have slammed him in private, calling his BBC interview "disgusting."

During the interview, Harry expressed his desire to reconcile with his family, saying there is no need to continue fighting with them and that he is not sure how long his father has left, referencing King Charles' cancer battle.

Harry also stated that people who "wish [him] harm" are taking his defeat in court as a "huge win."

Reacting to these remarks, one of the prince's old pals said, "I don't know what's more disgusting – Harry's comment about his father's health or his suggestion that people want him dead. It's very sad, but we all know that he doesn't want to hear things he disagrees with."

Some of Harry's pals are also opting not to say anything about his recent remarks, reportedly out of fear of being cut off by the Duke of Sussex.

According to insiders, Prince William appears to have firmly shut the door on hopes of reconciliation with Harry, showing no intention of repairing their fractured relationship.

"William doesn't talk about Harry anymore," a source shared with Us Weekly. "Everyone knows it's a subject that they shouldn't bring up, so he hasn't brought up the interview and won't."

The source emphasized that the Prince of Wales, now 42, has emotionally checked out of the relationship, noting: "When he becomes king, everybody thinks the divide will become even wider."

While William is seemingly done with his brother, Harry, on the other hand, wants to reconcile.

In his explosive interview with the BBC, he opened up about the emotional toll of his ongoing rift with the royal family.

"There have been countless disagreements between me and certain family members," Harry said, adding that he has since chosen forgiveness. "I want us to move past it. There's no use in dragging this out any longer."

Despite Harry's hopes for healing the rift with his family, insiders say that goal is drifting further out of reach with the duke getting "blackballed."

According to Page Six, the divide between Harry and the rest of the royal family, particularly his brother William and King Charles, is wider than ever due to "major trust issues."

"I genuinely think nobody trusts him, and that's the bottom line. The royal family has major trust issues with him, and that's what's at the heart of everything," a palace insider shared.

The source added, "They don't trust him and Meghan, and that's why they can't have a relationship … maybe there's room to forgive, but they won't forget. Forgiveness and trust are two different things."

A palace insider argued that Harry's memoir, "Spare," and his past actions may not have done significant damage to his relationship with his father.

"The King is a Christian and a good man. Forgiveness is central to that," they noted, per The Mirror. "But how can anyone forget the events of the past five years when they are repeated so often? The whole episode is as exhausting as it is sad."

They continued: "If there were anxieties about things remaining private, Friday [and Harry's BBC interview] will not have done them the power of good."

"The King is a kind man with a warm heart—and quite enough on his plate to deal with, without all this from his son," the insider added, pointing to the King's ongoing cancer treatment.

In response to the court ruling on Harry's legal battle over security, Buckingham Palace issued a rare and pointed statement, reiterating the finality of the matter: "All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion."

The Palace's statement came after Harry expressed deep disappointment following the removal of his publicly funded UK security.

Speaking after the ruling by Judge Sir Geoffrey Vos, who called the security downgrade "predictable" and "sensible" in light of Harry's 2020 step back from royal duties, Harry admitted he felt "devastated" and "let down."

In his BBC interview, the Duke of Sussex shared his heartbreak over what the ruling means for his family.

"I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point," he shared.

Harry added: "I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done... and I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland."
