“Backlash Erupts! The View’s Sara Haines SLAMMED After Claiming Prince Harry Is Finally Paying the Price for Trashing the Royals!” Critics took to X (formerly Twitter), with some calling her comments “tone-deaf” and “lacking empathy.”

The View co-host Sara Haines has stirred controversy following comments she made during a recent episode of the popular daytime talk show, suggesting that Prince Harry is now facing the “consequences” of his public criticism of the royal family.

During a heated discussion on the Duke of Sussex’s recent struggles—including reports of strained royal relations and possible visa issues in the U.S.—Haines stated, “When you go on a worldwide publicity tour against your own family, especially one as high-profile as the British monarchy, you have to expect that there will be consequences. You can’t torch the bridge and then act surprised when you can’t cross back over it.”

Her remarks quickly ignited backlash online, with many viewers accusing Haines of being insensitive and dismissive of Prince Harry’s reasons for stepping back from royal duties, including his public mental health advocacy and allegations of emotional distress caused by life within the monarchy.

Critics took to X (formerly Twitter), with some calling her comments “tone-deaf” and “lacking empathy.” One user wrote, “Sara Haines acting like Harry spoke out for fun—he did it to protect his wife and family. Let’s not forget the mental toll it took.” Others defended Haines, agreeing that while Harry’s intentions may have been valid, actions do carry consequences, especially in the public eye.

The backlash has reignited debate around Harry’s ongoing relationship with the royal family, as well as the media’s role in framing his narrative. As of now, neither Haines nor The View producers have issued a formal statement responding to the criticism.
