Prince Harry may not be permitted to blatantly reveal what he stands for, but he’s been pretty vocal about what he doesn’t. In his controversial book, “Spare,” he didn’t mince words about his disdain for media titan Rupert Murdoch, a well-known conservative figure. While Harry’s beef with Murdoch is partly personal — thanks to relentless media scrutiny from Murdoch’s media outlets — he doesn’t shy away from expressing his disdain (or perhaps indifference) for Murdoch’s politics.
“I didn’t care for Murdoch’s politics, which were just to the right of the Taliban’s,” he penned. “And I didn’t like the harm he did each and every day to the truth, his wanton desecration of objective facts.” If Harry could name his least favorite person in the world, it would probably be Murdoch. “I couldn’t think of a single human being who in the 300,000-year history of the species who’d done more collective damage to our sense of reality,” he added.
Prince Harry also surrounds himself with people who might hint at his political leanings. He’s chummy with John Major, once tagged as the “most liberal prime minister,” who stepped in as a guardian for him and Prince William following Princess Diana’s death. Major was also notably the sole politician gracing the guest list at Harry and Markle’s wedding. Stateside, Harry seems to be tight with the Obamas and even President Joe Biden, who’s reportedly got his back against potential deportation threats. If you’re trying to pinpoint where Harry’s politics leans towards, the clues are all there.
