This followed his critical memoir Spare and his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey after he and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2020.
However, royal author Robert Jobson claims Prince Harry, 40, has always had 'an edge'.
Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: 'He was quite chippy… to a degree. I think he always had an edge.'
Legendary Sun photographer Arthurs Edwards disagreed, saying: 'When we were on the road with Harry, we never got that feeling that he hated the press then. He was very cooperative with the press.'
However, Robert retorted: 'Well, he did certain things, didn't he? I mean, there were things I remember he did with you that you didn't particularly like.
'He was quite disrespectful at times, I think.'
The royal author then pointed out the moment Prince Harry cheekily put a hand print of purple paint on the renowned photographer's forehead during a visit to a youth centre in Auckland in 2015.
Robert added: 'I remember that time he put his hand in paint on your head.'
Clearly unphased by the incident, Arthur defended Harry saying: 'Yeah, but that was because I'd gone on television that morning and said he was going bald.
'He was having a bit of a come back. That was fun.
Harry BLAMES royals for court defeat, says it's their fault if anything happens to him but STILL wants reconciliation
'When we washed up together, we laughed about it.'
Robert insisted: 'I don't know. I think he always had an issue. I think he always had an issue.'
The Duke of Sussex received a wave of criticism following his BBC interview, which followed a lengthy three-year row over his security.

His round-the-clock security was axed when Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
This month he suffered yet another humiliating defeat as he fought to get it back.
Harry insisted he is a victim of an establishment stitch-up and said he 'can't see a world' in which he would bring his wife and kids here.
The royal claimed he did not want his father to intervene in the security row, adding: 'I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs.

'He claimed there had been 'interference' by the Royal Household in the 2020 decision, which he said resulted in his status as the most at-risk royal being downgraded to the least at risk 'overnight'.
Despite Harry's claims, it is understood the Royal Household's role and power on the committee is minimal — and rests solely working around family members' diaries.
A Palace spokesman said of the long-running security battle: 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.'

Naga Munchetty ‘had talks with Sky News' but her ‘tough & difficult reputation' scuppered bid to escape ‘toxic' BBC
NAGA Munchetty has "had talks with Sky News" but her "difficult reputation" ruined her chances of leaving the BBC, insiders claimed. It comes amid the Sun's exposé on toxicity at the morning show, with editor Richard Frediani on leave amid bullying claims. 3 Naga Munchetty allegedly had talks with Sky News and LBC in a bid to escape the BBC Credit: Getty 3 It comes amid the Sun's exposé on toxicity at the morning show Credit: BBC Naga, 50, has also come under fire and was rapped for allegedly bullying a junior staffer on BBC Breakfast last year. She is also said to have made a crude quip about a sex act in an off-air break on Radio 5 Live in 2022. Now industry insiders have claimed Naga had been in talks with Sky News and radio station LBC in an attempt to ditch the Beeb. Sources alleged discussions were quickly scrapped because network bosses were weary of the presenter's "tough" persona. "There were quite a few discussions with both Sky and LBC but then it was decided by both that they wouldn't go any further," an insider told the Mail. "She is quite sharp and it is perhaps not what they were looking for, so it all kind of fell apart. "Rightly or wrongly, Naga has a reputation for being quite tough and difficult at times – they didn't like that." This comes as Naga - now at the centre of a BBC Breakfast toxicity row - has been rapped for two incidents in three years. Yesterday the presenter opened up and said she hates bullies in a new interview. She said: 'I was no angel but I hated seeing people bullied. BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and 'made an off-air sex jibe' "I remember there were a couple of kids in school who were bullied and I just hated it. "So I'd always kind of be that person who would speak to everyone.' Earlier this week, The Sun exclusively reported how things were not all rosy on the show's iconic red sofa. We told how anchor Naga had been hauled in by show bosses amid allegations she bullied a junior staffer. Naga was also hauled in over a sex jibe made at Radio 5 Live where she is said to have used a crude slang term for a sex act during an off-air break — before asking a colleague if they had done it. The alleged remark stunned the Radio 5 Live studio and led to Naga being hauled before bosses. She was reprimanded by a senior producer but no formal action was taken. The comment became widely known at 5 Live, with one source describing the 2022 incident as: 'Crass, inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. The person felt embarrassed.' We can also reveal that on BBC Breakfast last year, she was rapped for the alleged bullying of a woman, who was the most junior staffer. As part of the bullying behaviour, the star is said to have falsely accused her of stealing, which led to a closed-door showdown. The source said: 'It was humiliating. There was no evidence, no apology. The woman left not long after, completely demoralised.' Another insider added: 'That wasn't an isolated incident. It really is the tip of the iceberg.' Naga is the first female presenter to be caught up in the series of scandals which have gripped the BBC. Strictly's Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima had to leave over bullying claims, and Wynne Evans quit the live tour over the word 'spitroast', which can be a sexual reference. But the broadcaster is now facing questions of double standards. A Breakfast insider said: 'If a male presenter made a sexual comment like that or falsely accused someone of theft, he'd be out the door. But with Naga, it gets brushed off.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.' Breakfast is already in turmoil amid claims of a 'deeply divided workplace' and off-air tensions between Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt. The flagship show's editor Richard Frediani is also at the centre of a formal bullying investigation. It was confirmed the BBC was conducting an internal review into his behaviour and general allegations of toxicity on the show. An internal email was sent to the BBC Breakfast team thanking them for their 'professionalism' as they continue their work amid the row. Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast? The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are: Jon Kay - Since 2022 Sally Nugent - Since 2021 Charlie Stayt - Since 2006 Naga Munchetty - Since 2014 Carol Kirkwood - Since 1997

Emmerdale confirms new accomplice for John as he gets rid of Robert
John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) spies an opportunity in Emmerdale soon as he grows desperate to get rid of Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley). A few days ago, John visited Robert in prison. He was feeling insecure about his relationship with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) after discovering his partner was planning on visiting his ex. John believed he had the ability to scare Robert away, but he did not count on the Sugden practically seeing right through him. Robert called John the 'unwanted rut' of the family and believed he was incredibly odd. Watching John shake with rage, Robert concluded that he was going to do his upmost to get Aaron away from his new partner. In upcoming episodes, Robert is causing problems after giving his sister a black eye. He attempts to readjust to life outside of prison by getting a trial at Caleb's (William Ash) depot, but he's pressured by John to end the employment. Robert is disappointed and when he finds out that John interfered, he confronts him outside. The two brothers argue, and John is left even more determined to get rid of Robert after seeing Victoria's black eye. In an attempt to make Aaron jealous, Robert goes on a date later in the week, but he becomes even more troubled when he realises his ex isn't bothered about his hook-up at all. On his own at The Hide, Robert fails to spot his date drugging his drink. While Robert doesn't realise what's going on, John does, and he works out that this is the perfect opportunity to get rid.

Princess Diana's nickname for Harry and why she thought 'he'd be a better King'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The lives of Prince William and Prince Harry were mapped out from the very beginning, with William's future as King being a foregone conclusion and Harry's role as the 'spare' giving him a different sense of purpose. Before their current strained relationship, the brothers would frequently argue about who would make a better monarch, and even their mother, Princess Diana, got involved in these discussions. According to Robert Jobson, a Royal expert, Princess Diana was under the impression that her youngest son, Harry, would be a more suitable king than William, her eldest. Despite not openly expressing the reasons behind her thoughts, she reportedly gave Harry a secret nickname to highlight her views. READ MORE - Princess Charlotte 'handed back' lavish gift worth eye-watering £36k READ MORE - Prince Harry's blunt words of advice from Prince Philip ahead of 'mission' Claims have been made that William would confide in his mother that he did not want to be king, leading to a young Harry saying: "If you don't want the job I'll have it." This supposedly led Diana to nickname Harry GKH, short for Good King Harry, due to her thinking he would be more capable of handling the role than his brother. Jobson revealed on the Channel 5 programme William and Harry: Princes at War: "She used to refer to Harry as GKH (Good King Harry) because she thought he'd probably be better equipped for the role in the future than William.", reports the Mirror. Jeremy Paxman has revealed that during a lunch meeting, Princess Diana disclosed her sons' thoughts on the future monarchy, stating: "We talked about our children and she said William often told her that he didn't really want to be king, and then Harry would say, 'If you don't want the job I'll have it'." (Image: Getty Images) (Image: WireImage) (Image: UK Press via Getty Images) Additionally, in her landmark Panorama interview with Martin Bashir back in 1995, Diana commented on Prince William's potential role as King when asked whether he should succeed the throne directly at just 13 years old, Diana opined: "Well, then you have to see that William's very young at the moment, so do you want a burden like that to be put on his shoulders at such an age. So I can't answer that question." The dynamics within the Royal Family shifted significantly after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step back from their Royal duties and forge a new path in California in 2022; this decision has contributed to the ongoing tension between Princes William and Harry.
