Karren Brady criticises Harry for exploiting status while trashing family

Apprentice star and business leader Karren Brady has criticised Prince Harry for repeatedly 'trashing' the Royal family while exploiting his status.

She says if the Duke of Sussex really wants to get out of the limelight he should stop giving interviews.

Writing in her column for The Sun, Brady says Harry has "lost the plot" and become "blinkered", claiming we "know too much" about Harry and Meghan Markle's grievances with the royals thanks to their recent interviews.

Writing in the Sun On Sunday she said: "There are plenty of famous people who manage to have a low-key life. And he could, after all, just buy a smaller house, stop giving interviews, stop trashing his family and live like a 'normal' millionaire, out of the public eye. That is possible if he wanted to do it."

She said he wants to have his cake and eat it, by "actively encouraging international fascination about his life, while at the same time bemoaning his lot and trashing his family".

"At the same time as exploiting his royal status, he is all too quick to rubbish them all," she went on, saying that he and Meghan have secured multi-million pound deals off the back of their relationship with his family.

"How can he be so oblivious to the optics that doing TV and podcast interviews about how much you hate being in the limelight is not the way to go about staying out of the limelight?" Karren added.

This week Harry took part in a lengthy podcast where he spoke about his time in the Royal Family and feeling under the spotlight - as if he were in The Truman Show. Earlier this year he gave interviews to Oprah Winfrey and James Corden.

He and Meghan spoke at the time of media intrusion into their private lives - and how moving to LA was i part to escape that.

Harry has a new series coming up with Oprah focusing on mental health, and Harry and Meghan have signed multimillion pound media deals.
