A royal expert is claiming that Prince Harry is using his newfound “woke persona” as a shield against “any wrongdoing.”
And, as a result, Harry has distanced himself from Prince Philip, who he was once likened to.

Prince Harry using newfound 'wokeness' as shield, royal expert says Back to video

Thomas Mace-Archer-Mills, founder of the British Monarchists Society, said the PC Prince is severing those ties.
“The Duke of Sussex has chosen to ignore and forget his less than favourable gaffes by burying them under several layers of political correctness and woke cushioning, in hope that his newly created persona will distance him from any wrongdoing or offence he caused when his gaffes were knowingly made,” Mace-Archer-Mills told the Daily Star.
“Harry used to be like his grandfather, he had charisma, and charm — he was able to also use humour as a tool, but this is where the similarities end,” he said.
Now, the expert noted, there is “nothing funny” about Humourless Harry, formerly a “lad’s lad” and a “happy-go-lucky chap.”
In California, among the Hollywood set where Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have found a home, wokeness is worn like a badge of honour.
Ironically, after his grandfather’s death last month, Harry described Philip as “master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ’til the end.”
Mace-Archer-Mills said: “If there were any aspirations on the part of Harry to be the heir to Philip’s ‘legend of banter’ then those very aspirations are sadly misconstrued, misunderstood, and misguided — a failure.”
His comments calling the U.S. First Amendment “bonkers” on Dax Shepard’s podcast endeared him to few in America.
Mace-Archer-Mills said whereas Harry was once “relatable and fun,” he’s now a “partisan, divisive, talking head that chastises and lectures his home nation and belittles his family.”
The rogue royal is now dropping more “truth bombs” in his new five-part AppleTV+ docuseries, The Me You Can’t See, with pal Oprah Winfrey.
Since their explosive initial interview with the talk queen in March, Harry and Meghan have taken a decidedly scorched-earth approach.
Harry has also called London a “trigger” for his anxiety.

Royal insiders say Queen Elizabeth is “deeply upset” by the petulant prince’s unrelenting blabbing.
“Harry’s grandmother has taken this very personally and is deeply upset by what Harry has said, in particular his comments about Charles’s parenting and suggesting his father knows no better because of how he was brought up. It has been a very upsetting time,” a source told the Mail on Sunday.
The newspaper said that Charles holds out hope his wayward son will come to his senses.
“Charles will want to engage, but it’s fair to say what Harry has said in both interviews with Oprah has been seen as very callous within the family,” the source told the Mail.
“If Harry was to attack the Queen in a more personal way, Charles would close ranks with the Queen without a doubt and Harry would be out in the cold.”
