I think that the Edward and Mrs Simpson saga hangs over the head of the Queen and has influenced her decision. I also think Prince Charles is being somewhat indulgent towards Harry, as perhaps we all are towards our children. I don’t know what to think about William, maybe he went along with his father and grandmother because he could see how hurt they were, and how they wanted to leave the door open for Harry to return to the fold if it doesn’t work out for him.
What really gets to me is the fact that H+M have lied, they said they wanted a quiet, private life, away from the media. Well it’s obvious that they don’t want that, what’s private and quiet about giving a keynote speech to 400 extremely rich people, including Tony Blair who was apparently in the audience. And now going on to negotiate another well paid contract with yet another bank with dubious morality. It’s hardly private or quiet is it?
