Prince Harry’s pal and wedding attendee has 1 ruthless word to describe the royal family
NY Post
Prince Harry’s pal James Haskell has thoughts about the British monarchy.
The retired professional rugby player, 39, spoke to the Times in an interview published Tuesday about his experiences — good and bad — with the royal family.
“Some aren’t as great as others,” he said. “They do amazing work — but they’re also a modern family that’s very dysfunctional.”
Haskell noted that he attended Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May 2018, as well as Harry’s cousin Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall’s wedding in July 2011, which is where he met the Duke of Sussex.
“To those who want to get rid of the monarchy — once they’re gone, they’re gone,” said Haskell. “There’s no way back from that, so remember that they serve an important role. I love what they do.”
Haskell is good friends with Mike, 46, and they co-host the podcast “The Good, The Bad & The Rugby.” They were teammates on England’s rugby union team.
