Harry, 36, said he was told to “play the game” in his younger years by members of the Royal Family despite feeling the weight of his role in the public eye. The royal insider told The Mail on Sunday: “Harry’s grandmother has taken this very personally and is deeply upset by what Harry has said, in particular his comments about Charles’s parenting and suggesting his father knows no better because of how he was brought up. It has been a very upsetting time.” The Queen, 95, put on a brave face as she stepped out onto the deck of the HMS Queen Elizabeth for a royal engagement in the aftermath, on May 21.
