The royal correspondent told Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast how she hopes the public are fair in their reviews of the revealing new book. Charlie compared the book release from Prince Harry to one which politicians and sportspeople also go through regularly. He asked Jennie, “Wouldn’t we be saying they’re brave for coming out and saying their thing.” Jennie replied: “You make a very valid point, I think we should have a lot of sympathy for Harry and the mental battles he’s gone through.” “It is a difficult position to be the spare – it’s a cruel word really.
