Elaf from London: Princess Diana’s former protective officer said he believes Prince Harry has a “revenge problem” with the royal family, and that his mother reportedly told him publishing his memoirs “wasn’t a good idea”.
Ken Wharf, who was the late Princess Diana’s personal protection officer from 1988 to 1993, said he believed the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, titled ‘Spare’, ruined any chance of a reconciliation with the rest of the royal family.
The former officer told Sky News that Harry always knew he’d be left behind when they were young, recalling an argument between the two princes when they were boys.

Wharf added: “There was this unusual conversation I remember on a weekend trip to Highgrove, when Harry was six or seven, and the nanny was arguing between the two princes in the back seat, with Diana driving. Harry said to William: everything is right for you, one day you will be king and I will not be king, so I can do what I want.
The former protection officer continued: ‘That was 30 years ago and that’s exactly what he’s doing now. In a way, given the circumstances and aftermath of his marriage in 2017, there really is a revenge issue here. And here in his (i.e. In Harry’s opinion, he’s trying to do exactly what he said.’ .
Sad
“I find it a little sad because I think, deep down, he really didn’t want to leave the royal family and live in America,” Wharf said. “But I think any chance of returning to the UK as a working member of the royal family is long gone.”
He added that he believed Harry’s decision to write his memoirs was a “mistake”, and if his mother were alive today he would have advised him not to write them. She continued, “I think one thing Harry lacks is someone to advise him, he’s very lonely there. Diana would have fully understood her reasons for moving to America and maybe even encouraged him.”
“But as far as the book and the interview go, she would have realized it was wrong,” Wharf said. “I think she would have been wise enough from her own experiences to say, ‘Look, Harry, I love you, but this is not a good idea,’ and he would have listened.”
“I wouldn’t say Harry was his mother’s son, but he always listened to what Princess Diana had to say,” concluded Warf.
