Prince Harry ‘determined’ to make ‘as many enemies as he can’

Royal author Lady Colin Campbell said Harry appeared to be “arrogant enough” to think he can “shut down the whole world” with his calls for a rethink. He has linked social media with the spread of misinformation and also said it led to incidents like the January 6 US Capitol riot in Washington DC.

Lady Campebell, who is also a former I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here contestant, lashed out at the Duke of Sussex on a new episode of her podcast Chatting with Lady C.

She said: “Harry is determined to make as many enemies as he can out of people who relish freedom of speech.”

Lady Campbell said there already were numerous laws in place to protect people and there was no need for what she termed a “censorship agenda”.

She said: “He doesn’t understand, or thinks he can get away, or maybe he understands and maybe he is arrogant enough to think he is in such a position of power and privilege, that he can shut down the whole world and prevent people from speaking their minds freely.

“There are sufficient laws in place in all of the Western democracies that if people defame you, you can sue them.

“I do think actually in fairness, as I say that, the laws of defamation have been loosened up a bit too much.

“But that doesn’t mean that people should be muzzled.

“It means that people who defame other people should be made accountable, more easily and less expensively, than they are at the moment.”
