And she said the royal often showboats for the cameras.

Broadcaster Julia Hartley-Brewer said Angela used to speak about Harry in "glowing terms".

The writer replied: "When he was at Eton, he hated being there, and he decided he was going to be with the bad boys.

"I think Harry has got this streak - a lot of us have, but we put it to one side - of being bad and showing off.

"He is also wanting to be more important than William.

"He's got the ability now to say and do things that probably he could never do before, and he's enjoying being naughty."

Harry recently made a cameo in Meghan's 40th birthday video as he juggled in the back garden of the couple's multimillion-pound mansion in Montecito, LA.

Julia responded: "I don't think he looks like he's enjoying himself at all" - before discussing Harry's private flight.

"It shows that, A, they're out of touch, but also, B, they're huge hypocrites," Angela said.

"They tell us all what we have to do, but they don't think they're involved in that. They're the exception because they're so grand and important."

In a 2017 interview, Harry said no royal actually wants to be king or queen - and admitted he wanted to "make the most" of his role before Kate and William's children grow up.

"I feel there is just a smallish window when people are interested in me before [William's children] take over, and I’ve got to make the most of it," Harry - then 32 - told Newsweek.

“Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don’t think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time.”

Criticism of Harry's jet trip comes as he and Meghan gear up for a "new era of visibility".

Omid Scobie, co-author of biography Finding Freedom, revealed that the "thriving" couple are "really excited" about the busy schedule ahead following the end of their parental leave.

The writer confirmed the pair will return to public life after "keeping toxicity away";.

"They're a couple who do very well in those moments of human interaction. They need to be on the ground," Scobie told .

"They say that the proof is in the pudding, and what we are about to see is that pudding."

He's got this streak of being bad and showing off

Meanwhile, the Queen has reportedly ordered senior Palace aides to plan a legal fightback amid ­hurtful attacks by the Sussexes — declaring: “Enough is enough.”

The monarchy’s legal team is consulting libel experts after a barrage of criticism from the couple.

A well-placed source revealed the Queen, 95, has become “exasperated with repeated attacks”.

They said: “The feeling, coming right from the top, is that enough is enough.

"There is a limit to how much will be accepted and the Queen and Royal Family can only be pushed so far.

“They are getting lawyered up. Harry and Meghan will be made aware and know repeated attacks will not be tolerated.”
