There are tensions in the Royal Family after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's withdrawal.
Prince Philip cannot understand the behavior of his grandson at all.
Prince Philip is considered extremely dutiful and very disciplined.
He cannot understand his grandson's withdrawal.
The Queen's husband finds Prince Harry's behavior "self-centered".
London -
Prince Philip
celebrated 99 years of age last June.
The nobleman spent most of this at the side of
Queen Elizabeth
in the service of the crown.
Prior to the 2017 to
retire
adopted, completed the Prince Consort 22219 solo performances, held 5,496 speeches.
To this day he is - also from the background - an
important pillar of the monarchy
.
Over the decades, the 99-year-old has earned a reputation for being extremely
conscientious and disciplined
.
The fact that younger royals do not seem to share his values
apparently
worries
Prince Philip
very much.
Perhaps that is why it is so difficult for him
to understand
the recent decisions of his grandson
Prince Harry
.
This emerges from an excerpt from his biography
"Prince Philip Revealed"
, which will be published on October 1st.
The book was written by
Ingrid Seward
, an experienced royal expert with good connections to
Buckingham Palace
.
The
Daily Mail
now quotes from the work in advance.
Prince Philip: The Queen's husband finds the behavior of his grandson Prince Harry "self-centered"
The latest example of his lack of understanding is the much-noticed
withdrawal
of
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
* from the Royal Family.
He does not see his grandson's behavior as an act of self-actualization, but rather as a
breach of duty
, writes the author.
The 35-year-old turned his back on his homeland and everything that was important to him in order
to lead
a life as an
“egocentric celebrity”
in North America
.
Prince Philip
cannot understand what is said to have made his grandson's life so unbearable that he had to leave the royal family.
In the eyes of the Queen spouse,
Prince Harry
and
Meghan Markle
* had everything you need: a beautiful home, a
healthy son
and the unique opportunity to make a difference around the world with their charity work.
Prince Philip & Prince Harry: This is where irreconcilable worlds collide
According to
the author
,
the
99-year-old has focused his entire existence on
doing the right thing
.
Your own needs would always have come second.
Until his retirement,
Prince Philip saw
it
as his top duty to always be by his wife's side - even on appointments that did not inspire him personally.
It actually seems as if
two self
-conceptions collide here that are impossible to unite.
On the one hand there is a
sense of duty
and a
sense
of family and on the other there is the desire for
self-determination
and the freedom to make your own decisions.
