Prince Harry’s Friends ‘Disgusted’ By His Recent Actions 》

You don’t have to be an expert on the Royal Family to know that many of Prince Harry’s recent actions have turned some of his own family against him. However, what many actual experts on the Royal Family have discovered is that Harry’s aggressiveness toward his own family is starting to have a ripple effect and seriously disrupt his other relationships.

This includes some of his closest friendships. Recently, Harry raised eyebrows by skipping the wedding of Jack Mann, someone once considered his best friend. What does this absence mean for Prince Harry, and what secrets about his lost friendships are buried in his memoir? Keep reading to discover the answers!

Who is Prince Harry’s friend, Jack Mann?

Unless you really know much about Prince Harry’s inner circle, the name “Jack Mann” may not ring too many bells. At Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle, Mann served as one of the ushers. However, it’s an open secret that he was actually one of Harry’s closest friends, and only royal protocol kept him in the lowly usher position.

According to Marie Claire, Mann was the “‘unofficial’ best man” at Harry’s wedding, and he was in that unofficial capacity because as Harry’s brother, William had to serve as his best man. Many see it as a testament to Mann’s character that he swallowed his pride to go support his friend on the happiest day of his life. Unfortunately, when the time came, Harry didn’t do the same for the man who was once considered perhaps his closest friend.

Harry’s notable absence from his friend’s wedding

Recently, Jack Mann got married to an osteopath named Isabella Clark. They had a beautiful ceremony in Suffolk, and it was attended by some people very close to the Royal Family. This included Princess Charlotte’s Thomas van Straubenzee. And ahead of the ceremonies, everyone took it as a given that Prince Harry would be returning the favor and attending his best man’s wedding.

However, as the Independent reports, neither Harry nor Meghan Markle were in attendance. While the two didn’t say anything about their absence, the fact that they didn’t show up at all made many people assume that somewhere along the way, Harry and his former unofficial best man (or “best Mann,” as we like to call Jack) had some kind of falling out. And it looks like Harry might have even tried to warn us about this in a cryptic way within the pages of his autobiography.

Harry and Jack: connecting the dots on their estrangement

f you read Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, you’ll discover that it is often somewhat paradoxical. For example, Harry occasionally names names and drops very specific royal gossip. Other times, the prince plays coy, leaving readers to connect the dots about what he really meant.

In retrospect, some think Harry warned us about his falling out with Mann in the book, even though the unofficial best man was not specifically named. But as Yahoo! reports, Harry describes that after he and Meghan’s bombshell, tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, “Several close mates and beloved figures in my life had chastised” him over spilling all the royal tea for the entire world to hear.

Again, Jack Mann wasn’t listed by name, but at one point, he was the closest mate of all for Harry. If Mann was leading the charge on chastising his former friend, then it might explain the otherwise odd absence of the prince from Mann’s own nuptials.

Harry putting other friends’ noses out of joint?

Given how much controversy he has continuously caused in recent years, it’s not really that surprising to hear that he might have lost Jack Mann, once his closest friend. However, what is surprising to discover is that Mann may just be one of many friends that Harry has been hurting and alienating with his rash decisions.

This info comes to us courtesy of royal expert Rebecca English. As reported by the Mirror, she said, “there are a lot of people who are genuinely disgusted by what [Harry’s] done since leaving the Royal Family.” Once upon a time, Harry had a “very close-knit circle of friends” that he could trust, and English claims that a large number of those friends “feel very hurt by some of the revelations that he’s made.”

And in addition to being hurt by the Royal Family, many of these friends feel personally slighted by the prince.

A question of paying back loyalty

From the outside looking in, it may seem odd that Harry’s friends are so upset because he exposed secrets the Royal Family would rather keep hidden. But depending on who you speak to, these friends also feel a sense of personal betrayal, and royal guru Rebecca English thinks she may know why.

According to the Daily Mail, she pointed out that “There was almost a kind of omertà between them,” referencing the Mafia-esque practice of staying silent rather than rat someone out. The implication is that these friends have often been in a position to spill juicy royal details like Harry has been doing, but they have refrained from doing so out of a sense of loyalty.

Now, however, they may be reevaluating past decisions. English says, “There are people who said, “we’ve been very loyal to him over the years and we don’t feel that loyalty’s been repaid.” If this is true, then Harry may not have many family or friends he can trust the next time he visits England. And somehow, we doubt the prince is going to get too many wedding invitations from his old squad.
