LONDON – The principe Harry launches a new attack on the royal family, after the joint one with his wife Meghan Markle in the interview with the US star Oprah Winfrey. And this time the prince seems to even raise the bar, implicitly extending the criticisms to his grandmother, la Queen Elizabeth.

“I went to America to break a genetic cycle of pain and suffering,” says the Duke of Sussex in a podcast, an official title that for now he has been able to keep despite the decision to go to live in California and the imposition not to represent plus the royal family. “I don’t want to do to my kids what my parents did to me,” adds Harry, who already has a baby, Archie, and expects a second from Meghan this summer. “My life was a mix of the Truman Show and the zoo,” explained the Duke.

“I don’t think we should point the finger at anyone or blame them,” explains the younger brother of principe William, “but certainly, in matters of parenting, I have suffered certain forms of pain due to the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents have suffered. I want to make sure I can break this cycle, essentially to have the certainty not to pass it on to my children “.

The reference to the sufferings suffered by his father however sounds like an implicit accusation to his grandparents, the queen and the Prince Philip, for the pain they caused their first child, the Prince Charles, Harry’s father. The sovereign’s inability to show affection and Philip’s coldness towards Charles has been talked about for a long time: “I am a pragmatist, Charles is a romantic”, the Duke of Edinburgh used to say, who found the eldest son and heir to the throne too fragile.
“There is a lot of genetic pain and suffering that is passed on from one generation to the next,” says Harry in the interview with Dax Shepard, host of the American podcast Armchair Expert (The living room expert, we could translate). “So we parents should try to say: here, I want to make sure that what happened to me is not passed on to my children.” In specific reference to his father Charles, the prince observes: “I didn’t see him with my own eyes but then suddenly I started putting together the pieces and understanding, therefore, he went to school there”, the private school in Scotland where Carlo was bullied and harassed, the same one in which Filippo had suffered them but where his father had wanted to send him so that he could learn to face the difficulties of life, “this is what happened, what I know about his life, and I also know that is connected to his parents, “that is, Queen Elizabeth and her husband Philip,” which means that he treated me the way he was treated, and so how can I change this in my relationship with my children? sometimes you have to put your family and your mental health first. “
Statements that this morning occupy the front pages of almost all the English newspapers, with very heavy headlines towards him: “Harry targets the royals” (Metro), “I left the UK to break a pain cycle” (Times), “How long can Harry go on like this?” (Daily Mail), “Harry’s bitter blow to Charles” (Sun), “Prince Harry reveals his soul” (Daily Express). In the podcast, Harry also reveals that he had already thought about leaving “when I was twenty” and that living with the royal family was like being “locked in a zoo” for him. Now he is better: “In California I feel different, I feel freer, I can load Archie on the bike and go around, in England I would never have been able to do it”.
