Over the weekend, Prince Harry sat down with Dr. Gabor Maté to focus on his personal hardships rather than his troubles with the royal family.

For many royal commentators, this was a welcome change of pace after the Duke of Sussex's memoir Spare and his Netflix documentary with Meghan Markle, which made many explosive revelations about Prince Charles and Prince William in particular.

"Prince Harry's latest interview has a decidedly different tone," royal historian Moku O'Keefe (aka @gayaristo) told Marie Claire.

"Gone is the criticism of his family and the story now turns to his own journey and recovery from trauma. Whether this is the result of PR advice or a natural evolution, I welcome this turnaround."

For O'Keefe, there is an imbalance between what Prince Harry can say in public now that he is no longer an active royal and what senior royals are actually allowed to say.

"Members of the royal family that Prince Harry has chosen to criticize so far have no right to actually respond, and continuing to bash them in public will do nothing to repair broken relationships," experts say.

"I think this new narrative of Harry's is a recognition that he only has the right to speak about his lived experience and journey. I hope that this non-hostile approach will allow him to attend the King's coronation in May."

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams somewhat agrees with O'Keefe regarding the Gabor Maté interview.

"I don't think this will change things," Fitzwilliams previously told the Daily Mail. [Things are bad and there is a serious rift. All I can say is that this did not make things worse."

The expert added, "There was no direct attack on the monarch, and there was no direct attack on members of the royal family at all, although there was the context of his past on the run."

"I think there is much relief and gratitude."

Meanwhile, the Sussexes confirmed that they had been invited to the coronation, but declined to say whether they would attend. Sigh.
