The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to enjoy the 'publicity circuit' even if it is negative.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been labeled an "act," and this assessment extends to virtually everything they do.

"I mean, he and his wife clearly live off publicity," historian Simon Heffer shared with GBN. "They are a brand. They are an act. And like all brands and all acts, they need the oxygen of publicity."

The Duke of Sussex is feuding with 'nearly all of his royal family members.'

"Harry appears to have bad relations with his brother and sister-in-law, given that his sister-in-law is probably the closest that we've got to a saint in the royal family at the moment, that's not very good PR on his part," he added. "His brother had a very difficult time, his wife has been ill, and his father has been ill. The Prince of Wales has held the line pretty well."

Although Harry is bogged down in a bitter feud with nearly all of his family, it is suggested the only senior royal he (at one time recently) communicated with was King Charles III. The monarch even decided to meet with his youngest son back in February, one day after his cancer diagnosis was made public. Some reports suggest the pair only met for 12 minutes, and the King declined to see his rebel son again when the Duke visited Britain on May 8 for an Invictus Games event.

But such measures are seen by some to be nothing more than "publicity stunts," which is why His Majesty was likely reluctant to meet with his youngest son again.

"I think people are aware that Harry has not been supportive, it's one thing for him to go away and keep quiet, which is what the Duke of Windsor did," Heffer continued when comparing Harry to his royal rebel predecessor.

He further added: "I understand he's got to earn a living, But nobody forced him into this. He didn't have to leave the royal family. It was quite clear, that his father, in particular, wanted him to stay. It was quite clear that there was a serious job for him to do. He was very popular with the public. Since he got married six years ago, something has happened."

Numerous other analysts have come forward to suggest that Meghan alone is likely not the only thing that drove Harry away — part of him truly wanted to go.

Prince Harry thinks Princess Diana's phone was wire tapped.

"I think in his traumatized mind, he in some way thinks of himself as his mother fighting some battle she never got to finish," a royal insider spilled. "The problem is that Diana was never fighting some arbitrary battle, except for maybe her own demons, which is unfortunate. But the princess was simply battling her husband at one time and moved on after their divorce, she was not out to get the Crown — her eldest son's future crown mind you."

They concluded: "It is a failure of the institution that the prince never got proper psychological treatment when Diana died. It is moronic to say, 'well his brother moved on fine' because we are all different."
