|Prince Harry has been slammed by Queen Elizabeth II's former private secretary.
Anderson said in a message directed at Prince Harry: "Stop being the victim and start being the hero of the piece, start writing your own script.
"I think people are just getting a little bit tired of how Prince Harry thinks the world is against him and how awful his life is."
She added that the Duke of Sussex was a "very warm, engaging and kind person" who has lost his way.
Anderson also discussed Prince Harry's current feud with senior members of the Royal Family.

She said: "I think trust is paramount in every walk of life, if you can't trust your family, who can you trust?".
Last month, representatives from King Charles and Prince Harry's households held their first formal discussions in years.
The meeting at a London private members' club was the first phase of "peace talks" between the two sides.
Meredith Maines, the Duke of Sussex's new chief communications officer, who is based in California, attended alongside Liam Maguire, who manages the Sussexes' UK public relations operations.

They met with Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary, at the Royal Over-Seas League, near Clarence House.
A source told the Mail at the time: "There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years."
The source characterised the summit as merely the "first step towards reconciliation between Harry and his father, but at least it is a step in the right direction".
However, a separate insider has now claimed that while the Royal Family are open to a resolution with Prince Harry, they are reluctant to build bridges with Meghan as "they just don’t trust her."
