Prince Harry has received an outpouring of sympathy from a European royal, who says she “feels sorry” for the King’s youngest son. Princess Delphine of Belgium discussed Harry’s situation when appearing on It’s Reigning Men podcast, where she said she “understands” Prince Harry and “feels sorry for him” as “everyone is bullying him”.
In a new interview on the It’s Reigning Men podcast, the princess says: “I do follow a little bit of Harry because Lady Diana was just part of my life when I was in England… Then she had these children and everything, and then this death was just horrible… I feel very sorry for Harry because I think that was traumatic for him.
“I think Harry suffered so much, and I think he was traumatised and it’s coming out now.”
The Princess continued: “This thing about security. I think it’s to do with what happened to his mother.
“I understand the guy. He’s just traumatised. And I understand, so he’s doing these things, and everybody’s bullying him, but not thinking about his trauma. And I just find it terrible because he’s just been kind of left.”
Princess Delphine is the half-sister of King Philippe of Belgium, and the illegitimate daughter of the former monarch, King Albert II who had a near 20 year affair with Delphine’s mother.
After winning a court case for a DNA test which proved his paternity, Delphine won a separate landmark ruling five years ago entitling her to be titled a Princess and styled as ‘Her Royal Highness’
Although Princess Delphine claims it’s “still not right” she’s not included in the line of succession to the Belgian throne.
