A close friend of Prince Harry has reportedly written a blunt letter, urging the Duke of Sussex to “get over himself” and stop portraying himself as a victim in his public disputes with the UK and the royal family.
According to The Mirror, the letter contains strong advice for Prince Harry, encouraging him to abandon what the friend perceives as a self-pitying narrative. The friend, who remains anonymous, expressed frustration over Harry’s ongoing grievances, particularly in relation to his portrayal of himself as a victim of the British press and his royal family.
The letter, which has not been made public in full, is said to deliver a stern message. According to The Mirror, it reads, “It really just says get over yourself, you’re not a victim.”
The letter reportedly doesn’t stop there. The friend is also critical of Prince Harry’s recent actions, suggesting that his behavior and public statements are inappropriate, especially given his previous work with noble causes like the Invictus Games. The source continues, “You were part of a noble cause as the torch bearer of the Invictus, and what you’re doing now and what you’re doing to your family is, I think, inappropriate.”
The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, has long been a symbol of his commitment to veterans and wounded service personnel. The friend’s reference to Harry’s role as a “torch bearer” highlights a shift in perception from admiration for his charity work to concern over his current approach to handling his relationship with the royal family and his public image.
While the contents of the letter remain private, speculation about its eventual release has grown. The National Enquirer noted that the friend may share the letter with the public in the future, though no specific timeline has been confirmed. “At some point, I will probably publish that letter,” the source revealed.
This letter surfaces amid a backdrop of heightened tensions between Prince Harry and the British royal family. Since stepping back from royal duties alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, Harry has been increasingly vocal about his grievances with the monarchy and the British media. His tell-all memoir Spare, and the couple’s candid Netflix documentary, further amplified these issues, sparking widespread debate.
Public reaction to Harry’s revelations has been divided, with some expressing sympathy for his struggles with the royal institution and press, while others feel his approach has been overly dramatic or unfair to his family. This recent letter, penned by a friend, appears to reflect the latter view, urging Harry to reassess his actions and tone down his rhetoric.
As Prince Harry continues his life in the U.S., the letter may reignite discussions about his role as a royal in exile and whether he should continue speaking out or, as his friend suggests, “get over himself” and move forward in a more constructive way.
