Foreign Royal Gets Candid About Prince Harry's Feud with Family: "He's Just Traumatized"

When it comes to the ongoing tension between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family, everyone seems to have an opinion and now, a royal from across the Channel is chiming in with her own surprisingly heartfelt take. Princess Delphine of Belgium, who knows a thing or two about complicated royal dynamics herself, opened up about Harry on a recent episode of the It’s Reigning Men podcast. And she didn’t hold back.

“I understand the guy, he’s just traumatized,” she said. “He’s doing these things and everyone is bullying him, but not thinking about his trauma and I just find it terrible because I feel like he’s been kind of left.”

Delphine also connected Harry’s legal fight for royal security to the loss of his mother. “It’s to do with what happened to his mother,” she said, suggesting that the fear and pain from that time never really left him.

And while some dismiss Harry’s concerns by saying he’s an adult now, Delphine pushed back. “You’re never a grown-up. You’re still the child even if you’re 70 and you still have your parents, you’re still the child.”
