While in London,
Prince Harry met with
King Charles III after the duo hadn't seen each other for almost two years, but royal expert
Tom Bower thinks the trip wasn't beneficial for either party.
"It's the Harry who wants to have his cake and eat it to live in California, pop over here just to remind people how important he is, and at the same time undermine the royal family," Bower told
GB News."And really, he and Meghan together have done more in the last four or five years to damage the monarchy than anyone in hundreds of years," Bower added.

"I fear this trip has done huge damage to the royal family, because in the end he'll get his vengeance, and that is very bad indeed," Tom Bower said, referring to how
Prince Harry has a history of publicizing his issues with the royals.

While on
GB News, Tom Bower was asked if
Prince Harry "painted himself into irrelevance?"
"Well, he hasn't, because when he comes here, he becomes a focus of attention," Bower said. "But of course, he is spare to Meghan or was, in her attempt to become the great television homemaker. But her series, her career, is crashing."

Tom Bower also noted that
Prince Harry traveled to London without Meghan Markle, as the pair continues to pursue independent professional opportunities.
"So very cleverly, Harry has separated himself from Meghan, as she did from him but she still needs him," Bower said. "And so you've got this couple in Montecito, desperately looking for a new purpose in life."

"Is Harry Meghan's spare, or are Meghan and Harry the spare to the Royal Family? The fact is, they are both looking for a purpose, and all they can do is damage the monarchy through their activities," Tom Bower continued.
