Well, maybe in terms of bad press and a PR nightmare, but on the whole, he appears to be digging himself a big hole that he may never get out of.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The British Royal\u2019s PR machine is well-oiled, equipped with years of tackling anything that puts them in a bad light, and any liability or potential threat is quickly removed, as we\u2019ve seen in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Since marrying Meghan Markel, Harry\u2019s disconnect with the public became pronounced, with his incessant \u2018woke\u2019 whining and virtue signalling on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/justin-trudeau-climate-change-will-help-russia-attack-canada\/\">climate change<\/a>, accusing everyone of unconscious racism,\u2019 he didn\u2019t just drink the liberal cool aid; he now has it on a drip.<\/p>\n<p>Harry still asserts that his family is \u201ccomplicit\u201d in his wife\u2019s pain and suffering, comparing them to abusers and accusing them of \u201ctrashing\u201d his and Meghan\u2019s reputations, forcing them to move to California.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Prince Harry became the first member of the Royal family to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/royal-family\/2023\/01\/08\/prince-harry-becomes-first-member-royal-family-criticise-duke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">publicly criticize<\/a> Prince Andrew over his relationship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, referring to his uncle\u2019s affair as \u201ca shameful scandal\u201d in his memoir, Spare. This move could be applauded in terms of breaking ranks from the Royal family, but it could also be seen as stating what everyone already knows to sell more books.<\/p>\n<p>After Harry and Meghan moved to North America, they were no longer entitled to Royal security, prompting the Prince to sue the UK government over a decision to withdraw taxpayer-funded royal protection after he stepped back from royal duties in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Harry said he believed it was an \u201cobligation\u201d and an \u201cimplicit promise\u201d for the Royals to protect them \u201cafter what happened to my mother,\u201d who lost her Royal security in the lead-up to her death in 1997.<\/p>\n<p>In Prince Harry\u2019s book, \u2018Spare,\u2019 he writes: \u201cAlso, not in the wake of my Uncle Andrew. Despite being embroiled in a shameful scandal, accused of sexually assaulting a young girl, no one had even suggested removing his security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not long after Harry voiced concerns about his security, he made a move that would put both him and his family at more risk than ever, bragging about killing 25 members of the Taliban in his memoir.<\/p>\n<h2>National security threat<\/h2>\n<p>Moreover, Harry not only puts himself at risk, but also the nation, as such remarks could stir up tensions and cause terrorist groups to act in retaliation.<\/p>\n<p>An influential member of the Afghan government, Anas Haqqani, said in response to Harry\u2019s remarks: \u201cThe ones you killed were not chess pieces, they were humans; they had families who were waiting for their return. Among the killers of Afghans, not many have your decency to reveal their conscience and confess to their war crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Military and intelligence experts warned of the enormous risks around Harry speaking out about a sensitive subject.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/why-meghan-markle-victim-mentality-is-the-biggest-insult-to-the-truly-oppressed\/\">Why Meghan Markle\u2019s Victim Mentality Is The Biggest Insult to The Truly Oppressed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Retired army veteran Col. Tim Collins, who became famous for his speech at the start of the Iraq war in 2003, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2023\/jan\/06\/army-veterans-criticise-prince-harry-claim-killed-25-taliban-afghanistan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the Prince\u2019s talk of \u201ckill-count\u201d was crass and \u201cwe don\u2019t do notches on the rifle butt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a leaked extract from his memoir, the Duke of Sussex says: \u201cWhen I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn\u2019t think of those 25 as people,\u201d adding, \u201cThey were chess pieces removed from the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins accused Harry of engaging in \u201ca tragic moneymaking scam to fund the lifestyle he can\u2019t afford,\u201d adding that the remarks were \u201cchosen by someone else,\u201d a veiled swipe at his wife.<\/p>\n<p>Retired Col. Richard Kemp, a former British army commander in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfetched.com\/house-republicans-plan-investigation-into-joe-bidens-deadly-afghanistan-withdrawal\/\">Afghanistan<\/a>, also warned the content of  Prince Harry\u2019s book could motivate extremist Taliban supporters to kill him.<\/p>\n<p>Harry\u2019s comments also caused unease among British Muslims as defamation lawyer Zillur Rahman, noted, \u201cWe have seen a focus on a number of killings in Afghanistan, which in some cases have included innocent civilians. I don\u2019t know who the targets were in Harry\u2019s case but of course, I find them distasteful.<\/p>\n<h3>Woke whining <\/h3>\n<p>In the absence of the Prince\u2019s \u2018woke\u2019 whining and his wife\u2019s constant liberal victimhood, it would be easier to feel sorry for Harry and perhaps even disregard his Taliban comment as an ill-advised choice of words. However, in the light of the couple force-feeding their anti-Western, anti-British woke ideology on the public, any mercy, and now indeed, the Muslim community has all but evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>French journalist Allister Heath, in a piece for The Sun, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/20772955\/meghan-harry-weaponises-anti-british-woke-ideology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a>: \u201cNOTHING the Royal Family can say or do will ever be enough for the woke revolutionaries, the hard-Left ideological storm-troopers who have taken over so many of our institutions and brainwashed our children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo them, Britain, like the rest of the Western world, is and will always remain an institutionally racist, patriarchal and oppressive country, with a hideous, imperialistic past and no possibility of redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Royal Family, at the apex of the Establishment and at the heart of our island story, embodies \u201cwhite privilege.\u201d It must automatically be guilty of all of these sins, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis insulting, infuriating narrative has been given a massive boost from an unlikely source,\u201d Heath noted.<\/p>\n<p>Harry\u2019s self-inflicted alienation from his family and now the establishment itself is reminiscent of the dangerous territory The Beatles Singer John Lennon entered with the influence of his wife Yoko over forty years ago. <\/p>\n<p>Although Harry isn\u2019t sitting on a bed with Meghan surrounded by flowers telling journalists to give \u201cpeace a chance,\u201d he is, however, destroying the foundation of his safety and what allowed him to enjoy such a privileged lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his mother, who had the support of the British public before her death, it is one of the luxuries Harry could be about to lose, and like his mother, he may have rattled the wrong cages.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This op-ed was authored by<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<em><strong>Leilani Dowding<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0<strong><em>P<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>olitical commentator, news host, and social influencer<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow\u00a0<strong>Leilani\u00a0<\/strong>on Twitter:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeilaniDowding\">@LeilaniDowding<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeilaniDowding\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Leilani-Dowding-Dailyfetched.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Leilani-Dowding-Dailyfetched.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Leilani-Dowding-Dailyfetched-229x300-1.jpg 229w\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Prince Harry\u2019s book the biggest threat to the Royal Family since his late mother, Princess Dianna?
