#ShutUpHarry is trending on X today

Prince Harry has suffered a furious backlash after making a subtle dig at the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex's Heart of Invictus was released on Wednesday.


The Netflix series follows the 2022 edition of the games which were based in The Hague in the Netherlands.

The Invictus Games is an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick serving military personnel and veterans.

While discussing his internal struggle after returning from Afghanistan, the Duke of Sussex said he had no one around him who could help him.

In what appeared to be a subtle dig at the Royal Family, Harry said that he had no support structure or expert advice to help him cope during his struggle.

Royal commentator Carole Malone blasted the Duke of Sussex's comments.

She told GB News: "He's playing the victim again.

"This guy is obviously trying to justify his Netflix contract and he's thinking what can I do?'

"I'll moan a bit about how I never got looked after when I came back from Afghanistan and how the media completely ignored veterans and military heroes.

"It is absolute utter tosh.

"I am amazed they have let him say that."

Prince Harry previously said that his brother Prince William had supported him.

Malone added: "We know that in 2017 he said that his brother William helped him get help with a therapist.

"He also had two aides, who are former military, who helped him.

"He is the most privileged man on the planet and has access to every single therapist there is.

"I just think stop whinging and moaning about your lot in life because it is a pretty good lot."

#ShutUpHarry is trending on X today as viewers of the Netflix documentary have taken to social media to criticise the Duke of Sussex.
