It is believed the podcast was filmed last week during Harry’s return to the UK, which saw him carry out a number of engagements. While some people have been critical of Harry’s appearance on the podcast, especially some of the comments he made about his grooming routine and his occupation, others believe they have seen a more relatable side to the prince. This is something brand and culture expert Nick Ede agrees with, as he urges Harry to make similar appearances in order to rebuild his public image for good.
Speaking exclusively to The Daily Express, Ede said: “For Harry’s reputation, authenticity is his greatest asset.
“This appearance moves him away from being viewed solely as someone caught up in royal drama and closer to being seen as a relatable husband, father and veteran with a good sense of humour.
“If he continues doing more conversations like this, rather than focusing on past grievances, it could be one of the smartest moves he’s made for rebuilding his public image.”
Harry was not accompanied by his wife Meghan Markle on the podcast, but instead was accompanied by his friend and Invictus medalist JJ Chalmers.
While a lot of the podcast conversation was full of jokes and humour, including about how Harry doesn’t think his hair is ginger, important topics were also discussed.
This included conversations about the Invictus Games, including how much they have helped ex veterans, and trauma, as well as coping mechanisms for bad days.
He said on the podcast: “If a day is hard, one thing I will do is always squeeze my kids that extra extra tight.”
Harry also spoke about the importance of exercise for dealing with trauma.
