Prince Harry would do well to take a page out of his brother William’s book and make more “measured” decisions in favor of his tendency to make “impulsive” ones, royal author Penny Junor said. Speaking to Sky News, via The Daily Mail , Junor noted that the Duke of Sussex has a tendency to act without fully considering the consequences.
“Harry has always been impulsive and instinctive. And he’s just done things without really thinking them through,” she said.
By comparison, his brother William “has always been incredibly measured, incredibly self-contained.”
“He thinks everything through, possibly overthinks things,” she said of the Duke of Cambridge, adding that this is a quality the British monarchy needs right now.
“The result is he’s much more cautious and that is really what is needed at the moment as a member of the royal family,” she said.
The source of the royal biographer’s concern was a video from a few weeks ago in which Meghan and Harry urged Americans to vote in the upcoming election. As previously reported by The Inquisitr , the couple appeared in a Time magazine special honoring individuals who have had an impact on the world in the previous year. In the video for the program, they encouraged Americans to vote on November 3, saying that the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been. The clip can be seen below.
“As we approach this November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity,” Harry said in the piece.
Though the couple didn’t name any names in the clip, people on both sides of the Atlantic saw their message as a thinly-veiled plea to vote Donald Trump out of office.
That’s problematic for Sussexes for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that, traditionally, members of the royal family avoid discussing politics at all costs.
Missouri politician Jason Smith was so incensed that he called on the British government to strip the pair of their titles for violating the rule about getting into politics.
Trump himself has said that he is no fan of the duchess and wished Harry luck, saying that he was going to need it.
Similarly, back in England, sources claim that there have been discussion within Buckingham Palace about taking action against the Sussexes for the video, as The Daily Mail reported.
Junor suggested that Meghan has political ambitions of her own and that her zeal for power could hold her and Harry back from getting back in the good graces of the Crown.
