Ann Widdecombe skewers Prince Harry in brutal on air takedown

Ann Widdecombe has taken aim at Prince Harry in Channel 5's explosive new documentary The Jobless Prince: What Will Harry Do Next? The MP didn't hold back as she weighed in on the duke's post-royal life in California - and his growing obsession with therapy. She launched a blistering on air takedown of the royal.

"Heaven help anybody who went to Harry in the role of Harry being a therapist," the 78-year-old said. "Harry's got more issues than I've had hot dinners. He might need therapy. I doubt very much that he can dispense it." Loose Women's Jane Moore also weighed in, saying while Harry "has the empathy" to help others, she doubted it would be a lucrative move. "I think he could be a therapist, he certainly has the empathy to do so, but trust me the money wouldn't be big enough," she said.

The documentary features a string of controversial claims about the Sussexes, including suggestions that Harry may be forced to reinvent himself as an influencer to sustain his LA lifestyle.

Jane added that his "best option is to become a dad-fluencer for billionaires," warning that the King's youngest son "hasn't hit it off in America" and is now at a crossroads.

Royal experts on the programme said Harry's "chapter in the US seems to be coming to an end" as questions grow over how he will "generate income to pay his $10 million mortgage" after losing his court fight for taxpayer-funded security.

Branding expert Nick Ede argued that a return to writing could be Harry's most realistic move. "The writing career could really continue," he said.

"Harry has shown that he is quite entertaining, he's a good writer, he's interesting, and people want to read it, so I can see him having a few more books."

Harry's last memoir, Spare, released in 2023, reportedly earned him a $20 million advance. His other ventures include work with the coaching company BetterUp as chief impact officer and the travel initiative Travalyst, as well as his charitable organisations, Archewell and the Invictus Games.

However, the documentary claims his media empire has faltered. The Sussexes' Netflix deal, initially reported to be worth $100 million, has been "downgraded" to a first-look arrangement, while their Spotify partnership - valued at $20 million - ended abruptly last year.

Meanwhile, experts say the financial strain is now falling on Meghan Markle, who is focusing on her acting comeback and lifestyle brand As Ever.

Jane Moore noted: "It soon became quite clear that they were writing checks for situations that they weren't earning the money to sustain. It suddenly started to look a bit emperors new clothes."
