Prince Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy recently shared his thoughts on Prince Harry's departure from royal life, offering a unique perspective on the Duke of Sussex's experiences.
Harry's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, along with his wife Meghan Markle, stemmed from what they perceived as relentless media scrutiny and racial bias. Filiberto acknowledges the impact of the media's attention on Harry, particularly given his childhood experiences and the tragic loss of his mother, Princess Diana.
Since relocating to California, the couple has openly addressed their challenges. A revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, viewed by millions worldwide, provided insights into their struggles. Harry's participation in the Apple TV+ docuseries "The Me You Can’t See" further shed light on his mental health journey.
The release of their Netflix docuseries and Harry's memoir "Spare" provided further context for their departure from royal life, exposing deeply personal experiences and perspectives.
Harry's recent legal battle against the publisher of the Daily Mirror underscores his ongoing struggle with media intrusion. His attendance at King Charles III's coronation, followed by a swift return to the U.S., highlighted his complex relationship with the royal family.
A recent incident involving paparazzi in New York City further intensified the spotlight on the couple, raising concerns about their privacy and security.
Filiberto empathizes with Harry's situation, recognizing the internal conflict between his royal upbringing and his desire for a different life. He believes that despite Harry's choices, he likely carries a sense of loss for the life he left behind.
Filiberto, having navigated his own unique path as a non-working royal, refrains from judgment and expresses hope for Harry and Meghan's future happiness.
