Refers to a person's act of manipulating others with a woe is me attitude after having a self-inflicted failure so that others come to their aid and solve their self-inflicted failures for them.

Originates from the fact that Prince Harry brought misfortune upon himself the moment he stepped back from Working Royal duties and then proceeded to make himself look like he was the victim of his situation which unfortunately resulted to everyone from Netflix executives to some random Americans coming to his aid because they seriously thought he was in trouble and it wasn't his fault.
