Former press secretary to the late Queen, Ailsa Anderson, has criticized Prince Harry for adding to speculation about King Charles’ health by suggesting he is unsure of how much longer his father has left to live.
During an interview with BBC News, Harry expressed his desire for a “reconciliation” with the Royal Family, but claimed that the King is unwilling to speak to him.
Following this statement, Anderson emphasized that Harry should conduct any reconciliation efforts in private, rather than making public statements on BBC News.
“Prince Harry is saying ‘I don’t know how long my father has’ – that is 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,” Anderson told Sky News.
She added: “What you don’t want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So if you truly want reconciliation, you will do it in private, not in a BBC News interview.”
