### Prince William’s Leadership Under Scrutiny: Does He Need Harry Back?

In a striking commentary, renowned royal expert Tina Brown has shifted her focus from to , questioning his ability to safeguard the future of the British monarchy.

Following her earlier critique of Markle’s decisions, Brown now highlights that the Prince of Wales might not be making the best choices either.

Brown, who enjoyed a close relationship with the late and penned a detailed biography about her life, has expressed concerns regarding William’s recent remarks about the monarchy’s path following his trip to South Africa for the Earthshot Prize.

Her observations suggest that William’s approach may not align with the needs of the modern .

During his South Africa visit, William hinted at a possible shift in how the monarchy operates, suggesting he might take a more casual approach, possibly with a “smaller ‘r’ in royal.”

He emphasized the importance of empathy in leadership, stating, “I really care about what I do,” as he advocates for initiatives aimed at tackling homelessness and climate change.

Yet, Brown believes that some of William’s comments come off as dismissive of III’s achievements.

In her latest essay on her Fresh Hell Substack, she critiques him for sounding tone-deaf, especially given recent reports highlighting the significant wealth generated by the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, valued at an astounding $2.2 billion.

Describing William as a “performative pinhead,” Brown lamented the absence of his younger brother Harry, who once had the ability to keep William grounded with his irreverent humor.

She reminisced about the times when Harry could lighten the mood and challenge William’s perspective, contrasting it with the current environment where William is seemingly surrounded by sycophants.

Her reflections came after witnessing the poignant Remembrance ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial during a recent London visit.

Brown noted the impressive presence of Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who stood resiliently after battling cancer for nearly a year.

However, it was hard to overlook King Charles III’s frail demeanor during the ceremony.

The 75-year-old monarch, who has also faced health issues over the past year, attended without Queen , who was reportedly ill with a chest infection.

This absence added to the somber atmosphere.

As Brown observed the ceremony, her thoughts turned to the late II, who regarded this annual event as one of her most sacred responsibilities.

For Elizabeth, honoring military service was a matter of great significance and not merely a ceremonial obligation.

Amidst this reflection, Brown pointed out a noticeable void left by , who has a rich history of military service, including two tours in Afghanistan.

Harry’s initiative, the Invictus Games, represents his commitment to supporting injured veterans through sports, underscoring his unique contributions to the royal narrative.

With the monarchy facing evolving challenges, Brown’s insights raise important questions about leadership dynamics within the royal family.

Will the return of Harry, even in a limited capacity, provide the balance and camaraderie that seems to be missing in William’s current royal strategy?

As the public watches closely, the future of the monarchy hangs in the balance, influenced by both tradition and the pressing need for modern relevance.
