Ex-Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown says Prince Harry ‘has a role to play’ in Royal Family

Prince Harry “has a big role to play” in the royal family but must “throw out” his upcoming memoir to regain the trust of his relatives, Tina Brown said today.

The former Vanity Fair editor suggested that the freezing hostilities between the Duke of Sussex and his brother, the Prince of Wales, made it a good time to build bridges if he wanted to get more involved.

She told Lorraine, “This is an incredible moment to use. The country loved that sense of unity and it was a beautiful sight to see the brothers together again.

“But unless he gives up his book and the all-encompassing documentaries and interviews, there can be no trust. I think if he does, there’s a way.

“The royal family needs him and there is a lot of work to be done. Kate does not want to travel the world, she is the mother of three children.

“They have to divide these things somehow and Harry has a big part to play if he wants to. And if Meghan wanted to, because of course she hated it.’

Brown suggested the Sussexes could spend “four or five months” in California and the rest on royal duties.

She continued: “The question is whether they all have the gift to do it because as we know, the rancor in the family can run very deep.

“If Harry won’t throw the book away, I don’t see a way out.”

Brown went on to suggest that the Sussexes would have far more potential to “do good” within the royal family than outside it.

“Diana always knew it was the strength inside her,” she said. “When she shook hands with the AIDS patient, she did so as Princess of Wales, and it brought the splendor of the monarchy as that gesture went around the world.”

Harry and Meghan stayed in the UK last night after being reunited with the royal family to mourn the Queen, but are expected to leave for California ‘as soon as they can’ after not seeing Archie and Lilibet for nearly three weeks.

The Sussexes arrived in Britain on September 3 for the first time since the Queen’s platinum jubilee in June. They were only expected to stay briefly, but with the news that Her Majesty was ill, Prince Harry canceled his performance at the WellChild Awards in London and rushed to Balmoral.

Although the Duchess of Sussex did not join him in Scotland, she was by his side in a series of official events over the 10-day mourning period, including yesterday’s funeral.

Over the weekend, it was reported that the Sussexes were planning to fly back to the US as soon as possible, although informed sources said last night The times that the couple was still in the UK.

Harry was seen puffing his cheeks last night as he got into a car with Meghan after an emotional day when Queen Elizabeth II was finally laid to rest with her beloved husband Prince Philip.

The Duke of Sussex and other members of the royal family, including King Charles III and the Queen Consort, Camilla, were photographed yesterday afternoon as they left St George’s Chapel in Windsor after a moving service for the late monarch.

In what were the longest days for the Royal Family, relatives of the Queen returned to Windsor Castle to rest before returning to St George’s Chapel later that evening for a private funeral service.

There they witnessed Her Majesty’s funeral with the Duke of Edinburgh in a service led by the Dean of Windsor at the King George VI Memorial Chapel.

It was one of the few parts of yesterday that was not televised, and billions of people around the world thought they had seen some of the processions and services in Her Majesty’s honour.

Early in the day, members of the royal family – including Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, and thousands of world leaders and foreign dignitaries gathered at Westminster Abbey for the funeral of the late monarch.

Harry was visibly emotional during the procession and in the church, as was Meghan, who wiped away tears during the ceremony.

The Sussexes were placed in the second row of the abbey and Harry was not allowed to wear his military uniform or salute when the Queen’s coffin passed the cenotaph during the procession for the service as he was no longer a senior royal.

The week saw some rare displays of public unity between the royal family and Harry and Meghan.

On September 10, the couple were invited to join the Prince and Princess of Wales to inspect the floral tribute outside Windsor Castle, while yesterday William was seen leading Harry and Meghan to their seats during the later service at St George’s Chapel.

But onlookers noticed the lack of warmth or eye contact between the two brothers.

Yesterday Harry was seen walking solemnly on the grass outside St George’s Chapel in Windsor for the Queen’s service, speaking with his aunt Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.

During the service, Her Majesty was laid to rest with Prince Philip, along with her husband, father, mother and sister as her 70-year reign came to an end with the removal of her crown, orb and scepter from her coffin.

Her eldest son and the new monarch, King Charles III, looked deeply moved as his mother’s remains descended on a day when he cried several times as he bid farewell to his mother, the 12th British monarch to be born in Windsor. to bury.

A smaller, more private funeral service was held last night, with the Queen’s family finally given the chance to pay their respects and mourn her passing away from the gaze of the public.
