Angela Levin said a military source told her it is a ‘pathetic publicity stunt’

Prince Harry being honoured in the US as a Living Legend of Aviation is “ridiculous”, according to Royal biographer Angela Levin.

She told GB News: “I think it’s ridiculous. And actually, a former member who was quite high up in the navy has said it's a pathetic publicity stunt.

“And I think that's quite right. I mean, in my biography, I wrote a lot about the troubles he had becoming a soldier and actually flying helicopters and he got quite good at it, but he's not a brilliant man…

“We knew from Spare that he got rid of 25 [Taliban], he shot them and boasted about it. A very distasteful thing to do, and dangerous.”

In a discussion during Patrick Christys Tonight, she continued: “He was good, but he wanted to go on the front line, but because he was sixth in line to the throne, he had people surrounding him and so he wasn't allowed to do anything very much so he got very upset about that.

“But he did do a good job. The award is also for his work with the Invictus Games and he's set that up. He didn't do all the dog’s work, but he did a lot of ideas.

“His presence was very important, but that's all he put into it. But it fell apart, I thought, the last one in Germany, because Meghan took over.”

She added: “He has no power. You don't feel that he's making decisions. The decisions come from Meghan and maybe Meghan discusses it with her mother, maybe she just tells her mother, but Harry as a shrunk in every single way.

“She writes his speeches. She tells him what to do, pushing him here and there, moving him to different places like you might do to somebody retired.”
