Changing his last name to Spencer is said to help save Prince Harry’s reputation. He comes from his mother who had an accident in 1997. A year after her death, Elizabeth Peyton painted the grieving child – a historical testimony that is now being auctioned.
Not so for Prince Harry. The $20 million podcast deal with Spotify was canceled because the king’s son and his bourgeois wife Meghan Markle were not productive enough. There is even talk of “crooks”. They were also denied a patent for “Archetypes,” the name of the podcast. Prince William is also still angry about the unfavorable portrait that Harry drew of him in his autobiography “Reserve”. He repeatedly blames the British press for his setbacks.
In the environment of the brothers, “animosity continues to smolder,” according to royal reporters. Now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be working on a “rebranding” of the Harry and Meghan brand. According to the British media, they want to give up the title of nobility and the family name Windsor, which is heavily burdened by the monarchy, and adopt Lady Diana’s maiden name – Spencer. You have to keep the conversation going.

How much did the painter Elizabeth Peyton suspect of all this when she portrayed the 14-year-old prince? Her small-format oil painting was created from a photograph taken by a paparazzi on his first day at Eton College. Harry looks fragile, he looks shy, the tragic loss of his mother may be interpreted into the blue eyes. “People wear their time on their faces,” says Peyton.

‘Prince Harry, September 1998’ must now be worth £400,000 to £600,000 to a fan of the perpetual reserve or the famous portraitist. Phillips estimates the painting at this estimate for the “20th Century to Now” auction on June 30 in London.
