He also claimed that William was “less popular” than Harry when they were young and “somewhat jealous” of that.
Mr Wharfe told the : “Yes, they’re [Princess Diana and ] both entertainers.”
“Harry was always the court jester as a child. Part of the problem with him and his brother was that William was somewhat jealous of his popularity.
“But like his mother, she liked to be entertained, she liked to be popular.”
He added: “People will say he’s actually very fun to be with, he’s very good in meetings, he’s always mindful and careful of how he speaks to his staff, which was a classic Diana.
“She was very generous, she was a gift giver, Harry is exactly the same. I do see similarities.”

The Duke of Sussex now lives with his wife and two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in Montecito, California.
Mr Wharfe said that he has no sympathy for the Montecito couple.
He explained: “I haven’t got a great deal of sympathy for them. Prior to Megxit, he was more popular than the Queen.
“He has a style that’s so unique, he thought he could do six months in and six months out.
“It hasn’t worked out like that because the Queen wouldn’t allow that. I think with Harry, he was popular, certainly when he was here in the United Kingdom.”

However, while the duke appears to still have “something to offer”, the royal security expert pointed out that it’s questionable whether he can achieve any kind of royal comeback.
He said: “He’s still got something to offer. It’s a question of how he puts it together with his wife and family, to see if he can achieve some sort of comeback.
“Is there a slot for him? I don’t know, I think we’ve got to wait and see what happens.”
