“I’m sure that some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, consider this a huge win,” he added.
Prince Harry opened up to the news outlet about his family tensions
While the 40-year-old did not reveal his intentions of bringing these up in the interview, those who worked closely with the royal family have advised that his transparency probably wasn’t the best route to take.
Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary of the late Queen, mentioned to Sky News that Buckingham Palace would be “raising their eyes heavenwards.”

“Prince Harry is saying ‘I don’t know how long my father has’ — that’s going to cause real concern and more speculation in the media and the wider public about what his diagnosis is, which is incredibly unhelpful going forward,” she said.
“What you don’t want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So if you truly want reconciliation, you’ll do it in private, not in a BBC News interview.”
As per the Daily Express, Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, said that he could only return to the UK with his family if he is invited — and this interview with the news outlet definitely hurts his chances of such a thing happening.
Those who were previously involved with the royal family said Prince Harry's decision to broadcast it all was not a good idea

According to a survey by Find Out Now, the public seems to be more inclined to back King Charles in his row with his youngest son.
