WOW. I really appreciate the British perspective on this, Louise. We are all grappling with the 21C realities of reparation for centuries of racial abuse. But this perspective about the traditions & hierarchy of royalty & SERVICE are invaluable from the U.S. perspective. Many of us (mea culpa) really hadn't moved forward in perception of British Crown since King George III (especially since Hamilton hit the world scene)! So understanding the service which accompanies royal titles is truly helpful. THANK YOU. Harry really needs to think about HIS roots too, IMHO.
Aside from the details of how Charles and the Queen move forward, what is most glaring, is the lack of maturity, self awareness & sense of respect that is lacking in Harry. With his birthright cane much responsibility but also, privilege. He had the best of everything including education. Common sense dictates how most people behave during a family crisis such as the death of his grandfather after a long illness. There is a time and place fir everything. His appearance on Oprah, failure to celebrate the Queen’s 95th & his treatment of Charles was appalling for anyone who isn’t a royal. One would think he cannot possibly be this out of touch or self centered, but here we are. His behavior is self serving and self centered and childlike. Adulting means resolving conflicts. It would seem that in spite of his honored military career & service, he remains quite childish. Markle always seemed to be the opportunist & exploitative one but in some ways, Harry’s behavior is worse. He was brought up & literally groomed to know better. The part where I have pity for him, is he doesn’t seem to be aware that his putting himself out there about his PTSD & airing his family’s private affairs, diminishes respect fir him & not them...it’s sad & pathetic & above all, disappointing from a young man who up until his exit from his country, seemed like a likable, kind & charming guy.
Pure drivel. How do you know that what Harry described about Charles was a lie? And isn't it convenient that the family, which is known to ignore calls for compassion for its own members, after ignoring Harry and Meg’s requests for help are NOW pissed off because their lack of compassion is made public? The Queen and Charles aren’t some weak, powerless seniors who have been bullied. They brought this on themselves. Good for Harry.
