Prince Harry’s critics claim he’s never truly content, and recent actions appear to fuel that sentiment. Despite his departure from royal duties and relocation to the U.S., sources suggest Harry is pressing for his biography on the official Royal Family website to be updated, arguing it should reflect his recent activities, such as the Invictus Games and recent tours to Colombia, Nigeria, and Africa.
According to insiders, the prince reportedly feels that his bio should acknowledge his initiatives, which he sees as integral to his current identity. However, his position remains at the bottom of the list, just above Prince Andrew. Harry’s requests seem to underscore an ongoing struggle to maintain a place within the royal spotlight, even though he has chosen a more independent path.
Many royal observers, including BBC’s Neil Sean, have pointed out that the Royal Family’s online profiles traditionally reflect individuals’ roles within the institution and their contributions while in official capacities. As Harry and Meghan’s exit from royal life marked a clear shift in their roles, it’s unclear why Harry expects an update to the Royal Family website rather than opting to promote his achievements through independent channels.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have ample opportunity for self-promotion through their personal ventures, including their Archewell Foundation site. Many royal insiders suggest that this desire for continued presence on the Royal website stems from the large, global audience it reaches each year, offering free publicity without the effort of managing the content themselves. Nonetheless, sources close to the Royal Household indicate that priorities currently lie with promoting active working royals, including King Charles and Queen Camilla’s recent Australia tour, leaving the Duke and Duchess’s online visibility far from a top priority.
As Prince Harry continues to seek acknowledgment, many wonder if this latest request will lead to more friction or if he and Meghan will ultimately find contentment through their ongoing independent work and platform-building.
