The royal writer continued: ‘The perception is that he was pretty lucky to be where he was in the first place. There aren't too many royal princes around so why did he have to give it all up?

‘Yet he still seems to be living off his name, that's the reason that all these things have come to them.

‘He wants to take advantage of all that but not put in the hard work on the other side. I think that is the perception, though I think it's very different in the US.’

Co-host Roberta Fiorito offered an American insight, adding: ‘It is interesting because I feel like their popularity here skyrocketed. So it's interesting to see the perception over in the UK.’

Prince Harry discusses 'quiet acts of service' after PR stunt fury

Harry, 36, took part in the star-studded Stand Up for Heroes virtual fundraiser on Monday night, alongside the likes of Jon Stewart and Bruce Springsteen.While discussing the military and the impact of the pandemic at virtual veterans fundraiser Stand Up for Heroes, Harry, 36, claimed: 'As far as I see it, service is what happens in the quiet and in the chaos. It's what happens when people aren't looking and it's about how we take care of each other every single day.

His secret battle with the condition, days after his father Prince Charles caught it, only recently emerged.

Co-host Rachel Bowie suggested the Duke of Cambridge, 38, should’ve shared his diagnosis to encourage young people to take the illness more seriously.

'Because coronavirus is such a public health situation it would have been helpful to know that Prince William, a young guy at the age of 38, was as affected as his 71-year-old father.

'It would have helped people take it all more seriously at the outset to know that it isn't just an old person's disease.

'It is clearly not, and I think that was these people's disappointment, it just would have helped other people realise the severity of it.'

The duke is believed to have kept his illness private so not to alarm the British public which were then confronted with a spiralling number of daily deaths.

He caught the virus in the darkest days of the pandemic after the Prince of Wales and Boris Johnson fell ill, and at the time up to a thousand Britons were dying of Covid-19 each day and there had been more than 50,000 cases.

The duke was treated by palace physicians and quarantined at the family home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk. His wife Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, did not fall ill or test positive for the virus, it is understood.
