Former Royal Guard Reveals How Young Harry’s Charisma Sparked Royal Jealousy
Prince Harry’s charisma and charm have always set him apart within the royal family, often drawing comparisons to his late mother, Princess Diana, especially in their mutual flair for captivating an audience. In a revealing conversation with The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson, former royal protection officer Ken Wharfe shared insights into the striking similarities between Harry and his mother.
Reflecting on Harry’s upbringing, Wharfe observed, “Yes, they’re both entertainers.” He reminisced about Harry’s role as the “court jester” during his childhood, often outshining his older brother, Prince William. This, Wharfe suggested, sparked a hint of jealousy in William, mirroring the popularity their mother enjoyed due to her engaging and personable nature.

Since stepping back from their senior royal duties in 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have plunged into the glitz of Hollywood, seeking to carve out new roles that blend advocacy with entertainment. The couple’s move has included deals with streaming giants, appearances at high-profile events, and ventures into content production, aligning their post-royal careers with their interests and advocacies.
However, Wharfe expressed skepticism about the success of their transition. Despite Harry’s previous popularity in the UK, which Wharfe claimed surpassed even that of the Queen, the former royal protection officer noted a palpable shift in public perception following the couple’s move. “I haven’t got a great deal of sympathy for them,” he remarked, alluding to the couple’s ongoing challenges in establishing a foothold comparable to their royal influence.
Wharfe criticized Harry’s initial desire for a hybrid royal role, which was quickly dismissed by the Queen, reflecting on the complications it introduced. “Before Megxit, Harry was more popular than the Queen. He has a style that’s so unique, yet he thought he could do six months in and six months out,” Wharfe explained, highlighting the complexities of Harry’s unique position within the royal framework.

As Harry continues to navigate his new life, Wharfe hinted at the potential for a royal comeback, though it remains uncertain. He mused, “He’s still got something to offer. It’s a question of how he puts it together with his wife and family to see if he can achieve some sort of comeback.”
The unfolding narrative around Prince Harry’s transition from a royal figure to an entertainer and advocate in Hollywood continues to captivate public and media attention, drawing parallels and contrasts to the beloved Princess Diana’s legacy.
