The Duke of Sussex, who was in town for the WellChild awards in London, received a word to the wise from Diamond about steering clear of trying to find "personal redemption or rehabilitation" through "grand gestures or dramatic declarations".
She further cautioned him against doing anything that might be perceived as a jab at his father, King Charles, who is currently fighting cancer. She advised Harry to refrain from "saying or doing anything that could be perceived as undermining" Charles III.
Even though he's been on the outs with the Royal family following bombshell interviews and juicy tidbits in his book 'Spare', Harry, alongside Meghan Markle, has been enjoying a surge of good PR, their recent Columbia trip being dubbed a hit. They're also revving up for more Netflix content.
In an article for Express.co.uk, Diamond wrote: "Sometimes, the best advice is simple and grounded. So, from one mother to another's child, here's my advice to Harry as he returns home: keep your head down."
Showing some understanding for Harry's difficult position, she noted: "...Harry must understand that the path to personal redemption or rehabilitation-whatever he seeks-is not achieved overnight. It cannot be won through grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It takes time, humility, and a great deal of quiet reflection. Right now, more than anything, Harry needs to be humble."
"There is no need for him to arrive in Britain and make a spectacle of himself. The WellChild Awards are an opportunity to show compassion and empathy, not to become the centre of attention. Harry must realise that in situations like these, his actions will speak louder than his words. Being gracious, being respectful, and being genuinely present for the children and families honoured at the event will make a far greater impact than any headline-grabbing soundbite. This is a time to let the cause shine, not himself."
Now residing in the USA, Harry has made solo public appearances recently, such as attending a UN meeting in New York last month without Meghan, and is set to visit the UK by himself. Although a potential meeting with the King was quickly dismissed, Diamond commented on this relationship, saying: "His father is not only King of the United Kingdom but also a man who has just stepped into the monumental role of sovereign."
"That brings with it unimaginable pressure and responsibility. What Charles needs now, more than ever, is peace. He does not need more controversy, more drama, or more division within his family. Harry has to recognise that this is not the time to stir the pot. His presence in Britain, albeit brief, should be marked by respect for his father's position, for the crown, and, most importantly, for the fragile bonds of family that are still, by many accounts, very much under strain."
Harry was the picture of ease and good spirits at the WellChild presentation, even when he was hilariously upstaged by the antics of seven year old Noah Nicholson, who took to tossing his toys on the floor, much to Harry's amusement as he picked them up. Addressing the young attendees and their families, the Duke shared heartfelt words: "Thank you for your courage, your perseverance, your kindness and of course your humour. And thank you for being you and uplifting all those around you. The WellChild Awards is an event that never fails to inspire me."

no he has every right to say what he wants when he wants. she has no right to give him advice she dont even know him personally. not one person including me has any right to tell a grown man what he should deal with. just because he was born into a family who think they are above the entire world don't mean they are saints, Charles himself has said his own mother was not a good mother so the apple don't fall far from the tree. people need to stop with its he duty to be treated like shit and do as the royals say. if Charles was a real man he would have fixed this whole thing before it started with a simple I'm sorry and talked it out. you can only push a person so far before they snap.
