Prince Harry: Viral video shows how he really feels about being King of England

Prince Harry is the second child of King Charles III and ex-wife Lady Diana Spencer. When he was growing up, Prince Harry was the spare to the throne as he was just under his older brother Prince William in the line of succession.

As time passed and as the two brothers became adults, Prince Harry’s place in the line of succession was demoted. He currently is 5th in line after his brother and his three children. However, Prince Harry stepped down from being a senior member of the Royal Family in 2020 and since then it seems like the press is pinning the two brothers against each other.

Many allege that Prince Harry is fighting for the spotlight but a viral TikTok is showing that there is one thing Prince Harry never wanted…

A viral video of Prince Harry

The year is 2014, September to be precise. Prince Harry is launching his first ever Invictus Games in London. On their end, his brother William and his wife Kate are hiding a secret. Kate is pregnant but she is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe form of vomiting caused by pregnancy.

Because of it, the Duchess is forced to cancel public engagements which leads to the palace announcing her second pregnancy. After the announcement, Sky News, present at the Invictus Games, seeks a statement from Prince Harry.

Of course Prince Harry expresses joy to see his family expend. But that isn’t all.

The Sky News journalist asks:

Of course with that you chances of becoming King reduce, don’t they?

First the question makes Prince Harry laugh and then he exclaims:

GREAT!

Prince Harry never wanted to be king

This clip of a younger Prince Harry shows he is happy not to be King and not to be close to the throne. However, it isn’t the only time that the Prince has displayed a lack of interest in inheriting the throne.

In an exclusive interview with Newsweek in 2017, the Prince explained that he was fully happy doing charity work. In the same interview, Prince Harry explained that maintaining a life as normal as possible was one of his priorities. In more recent years, we have seen that more than ever as he physically removed his family from the tabloid frenzy of the UK.

Again in 2017, Prince Harry stated that he believed the ‘monarchy’ was ‘a force for good’ which he intended to carry on. In the same interview he added:

Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen?

I don't think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time.

In 2023, it seems even more impossible that Prince Harry would want to be King after the controversies he has been involved in regarding the Royal Family. He has also spoken vehemently against the Firm and exposed the systemic racism within the Royal Family.
