Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
He told TalkTV: “If Harry is attacking William because he wants to get the kind of significance and publicity in the media where it looks like he’s replacing William by becoming as important as William because of all the media attention.
“If that was the psychological ploy here then it looks to dispassionate observers as if that is failing.
“Harry did appear to become more important than William temporarily but then it faded and now he’s a relatively obscure figure again whereas William continues to dominate the headlines.
“Harry made a kind of an open raid on the castle, the edifice that was the status of William, his attack appears to have been repelled and therefore William at this level with this analysis appears to be winning this element of the war.”
It comes as Harry “backtracked” on his offer to give up his royal titles despite calls for him and Meghan Markle to to renounce their titles after making damaging accusations against the Royal Family.
The Duke of Sussex claimed in his Netflix docuseries he previously told King Charles he and Meghan would be “willing to relinquish” their titles.
Since then he rebuffed a question by 60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper on whether he would give up the title.
Speaking to Us Weekly’s Royally Us, royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti said: “If Harry has any self-respect he should renounce his title himself.
“The monarchy here isn’t just a soap opera. It’s not just a celebrity story, it’s a fundamental part of the British constitution.”
He added: “Harry revealed that he suggested to the king, his father, that he would give up his and Meghan’s titles anyway if they weren’t able to live in Canada and still perform some royal duties but that obviously didn’t work out for them.
“Since then he has backtracked on that offer, the couple still use their titles, especially in commercial activities through which they make millions of dollars.
“When he was asked recently if he would voluntarily give up the titles, he just snapped back and said what difference would that make.”
