A bombshell German documentary titled ‘Harry: The Lost Prince’ accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of hypocrisy while enjoying an “elitist” lifestyle in the United States.
The Duke was also savaged over comments about his brother Prince William from his memoir Spare.
As part of the documentary created by German network ZDF, former soldier Ben McBean, who shared a flight home from Afghanistan with Harry, did not hold back on taking a dig at the prince, according to the Daily Mail.
Mcbean, who was left injured by a landmine blast in Afghanistan in 2008, said in the documentary: “I just thought, with him kind of whinging about his family and he was saying something about his brother pushing him over or something like that, I was just like, ‘Mate, just leave it out’.
“You and your brother had little fisticuffs…but family’s family, you know.”
The veteran soldier added that he, too, would have told Harry to “shut up” after the Duke’s stinging remarks about the firm.
He said: “If one of my friends fell out with his partner and started posting things on social media and saying my ex is this and that, I’d have told him to shut up as well”.
During the bombshell documentary, the couple are criticised for their actions since famously quitting as senior working members of the Royal Family in 2020 and moving across the pond to Montecito, where they have continued to use their titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple has also been accused of hypocrisy, including during their tour of Colombia this year.
The Mirror’s royals editor, Russel Myers, said on the show: “If you’re going to places like Nigeria, like Colombia, which have huge socio-economic problems, some of the world’s poorest communities in these countries, and you’re turning up wearing tens of thousands of pounds worth of designer clothes – it really doesn’t send the right message.”
The documentary also criticises Harry and Meghan for inevitably trading off their former Royal roles by seeking to make money to support their lifestyle.
This comes just one week before Netflix releases Harry’s documentary Polo, which explores the royal’s favourite sport. The five-part docuseries will officially debut on December 10.
