A commentator on the Royal Family has said that Prince Harry appeared to be “pitiful” during a recent speech at the United Nations.
The Duke of Sussex delivered the speech to mark Nelson Mandela day and touched on topics such as climate change, abortion rights in the USA and his love for his wife.
Angela Levin, who is a commentator on the UK’s Royal Family, said that Prince Harry, who was joined by Meghan on the day, “wears his heart on his sleeve”.
She said: “Harry wears his heart on his sleeve and at the UN looks very low.
“Strange how Meghan was grasping one of his hands and holding his arm with another but neither of them even looked at each other. It is pitiful.”
Australian entertainment journalist Peter Ford agreed with these observations and said: “He looks so sad and so angry Angela. Like he’s fallen into a pit and can’t climb his way out."
It comes as the Duke received backlash about comments he made in the speech, with Angela warning that it “backfired”.
She said: “The Americans are absolutely furious with him because how dare an English Prince with a title tell them what to do.”
Speaking on GB News, Angela continued: “There’s lots of comments today about how they’re absolutely furious with him.
“He talks about climate change and the problem it is and how it eats him up and he was going home in a private plane - there’s a sort of nonsensical hypocrisy there.
“He’s very cross at the about the vote against abortion - well, that’s not his business is it?
“I think it took very much away from the focus on Mandela.”
Prince Harry highlighted a “rolling back of constitutional rights in the United States” in his speech, and said: “We are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom.”
He was criticised by Angela for using the platform to condemn US politics as she claimed his message detracted from the core focus of the meeting, which should have been the achievements and legacy of Nelson Mandela.
She said: “This was an annual occasion where they talk about Mandela and recognise him. Actually, it ended up being an attack.”
