Trapped???

The problem with being a Royal is that you cannot have a private life, it’s a goldfish bowl, every move you make is scrutinized and if you don’t make a move that’s scrutinized too.

This was the problem with Charles and Harry it’s very difficult to find a partner who wants that life, Kate did, Meghan thought she did but didn’t. For any of us that live close to the in-laws and other family members, know that it can be very stressful, if you fall out you move away, that’s all that’s happened with H&M! It’s commonplace.

Very true Katie but the difference is that most young family members choosing that option wouldn’t feel entitled to be subsidised by a parent after having done so!

Harry’s indignation was stunning to behold and so telling of the vanity he has about his station in life - a cherrypicker par excellence!

It’s a case of the phrase - Walk a mile in my shoes.

I'm not getting into a RF 'debate' , but what I will say is that we all live different lives, and don't know the meaning of things that happen to others.

It's like when people trot out 'first world problem' after someone has complained that they can't get an appointment with their GP - yes, people in most of the world could only dream of having access to a free health service, but it doesn't lessen the fear or frustration of being ill in the UK and not getting treatment.

We don't (and can't) judge the reactions of others on how we think we would react in their shoes - we aren't in them and can't possibly know.
