Privacy Notice Richard Kay, a friend of the late Princess Diana and current Editor at large for the Daily Mail, has suggested that Prince Harry’s recent appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show is not something his brother, Prince William, would have done. Speaking on the publication’s Palace Confidential podcast, Richard commented on the delicate balance Harry is trying to maintain between his celebrity status and Royal heritage. He said: “Harry is treading this very difficult line between celebrity and royalty still…he looked very dignified in Lesotho but it’s a country he’s got a lot of connection with. But back in America, he’s still tried to play the royal jester, the joker when he goes on these talk shows.” He added: “I think his brother would never do anything like that or if he did it would be much more controlled. I suspect that Harry is still desperately searching for some kind of role.” Richard also shared his thoughts on the roles of Royal Family members, stating: “I have this issue about whether members of the Royal Family are statesmen, they’re not statesman or stateswomen, they’re ceremonial figures, that’s all they are.”

His comments followed Prince Harry’s appearance on The Tonight Show where he navigated a haunted maze with host Jimmy Fallon, reports the Express. In the video, Harry is seen swearing and running as he encounters the various frightening elements of the maze that gave him quite a scare. Richard Eden, who appeared alongside Richard Kay on a podcast, was critical of Harry’s TV appearance. He remarked: “It was sort of quite amusing, but … royal families should just not do light entertainment.” “It never really ends well. We’ve seen Harry before with James Corden, that was cringe-making. We’ve seen Meghan … squatting down on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, that was excruciating.” “And then if we go back further, we’ve got Prince Edward organising the grand knockout tournament.” While some have criticised Harry for appearing on chat shows, the prince has been involved in significant humanitarian work recently, attending the WellChild Awards in London and working with a charity he co-founded in Lesotho in the 2000s.

The charity, known as Sentebale, was initially co-founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seesio to support young people. Today, it extends its help to individuals across both Lesotho and Botswana. Speaking at an event in the country earlier this year, Harry commented on the progress that had been made since the charity’s inception. The Independent highlighted Prince Harry’s passionate words, as he declared: “We are building a force of young advocates and when they are empowered to use their voices, the strength of their impact will be immense. You might not always realise how significant your influence is, but if it changes even one person’s life, it’s worth it.” Even Lesotho’s Prime Minister Sam Matekane was full of admiration for Harry, expressing that the kingdom would be “forever grateful for his dedication”.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
