Sympathy for Harry anyone?

no sympathy for any of the royal family. A bunch of pampered entitled layabouts who suck everything they can out of the public purse until they get found out.

Whoa - don’t hold back ! 🤪

In a word, no!

I read his book Spare and he just came across as a spoilt overindulged brat. I have zero sympathy or regard for him. He's just a whiny little brat.

And he never acknowledged the damage that stupid book did to the royal family, expecting them to apologise and then hurt at being frozen out.
He's a fool!

I have some sympathy for Harry. I mean, would I swap places with him? Not for all the money in the world. The day baby Prince George was brought out on the hospital steps I said how sorry I felt for that baby. Just born and his whole life is mapped out for him already. No thank you. I prefer choice and living a more hidden life.

That book will be very hard to come back from. William didn't come off favourably in the book (two sides to every story, of course). I know I'd find that very hard to forgive from a sibling.

So true.

Members of other European Royal families have chosen to give up their royal privileges and live as private citizens - mainly in the US.

It is only Prince Harry who has tried to have his cake and eat it, walking away from the responsibilities of life as a member of the Royal family, while clinging on to all privileges and attention that go with being royalty and actively doing everything he can to stay in the news.

Living at a level that he cannot sustain from his private income, but needing to keep staging stunts to attract attention and earn money and demanding the police protection of a working royal when visiting this country.

I think he was so smitten with Meghan that he would have jumped off a cliff if she’d asked him to but the scales are now beginning to fall from his eyes. He really misses some elements of his previous life and would like them back. However, sadly I think too much water has gone under the bridge, both with his family and the British public, for that to ever happen now. Therefore, he needs to try to build a meaningful life for himself now away from the Netflix type projects and tell all publications and find a way that he can be respected again as he was during his Army service,

Apparently Meghan has let it be known, via 'a source close to her', that she was upset about not being able to attend the Invictus Games (or whatever it was that was happening) during her visit here.
Sad, that.
Probably go through the same performance next year when the Games are on.

A lot has been learned on both sides from this visit:

They can slip in and out of the UK without any fuss so long as they don’t publicise it.
They now seem to be willing to agree to whatever terms are set by the palace.
Low key visits don’t require high security so long as they remain low key.
Making demands of the establishment that will never be agreed in a month of Sundays gets you nowhere.

This will all be harder for Meghan to absorb than Harry but she will find it easier if he stops complaining.

maybe Harry will stop complaining when she does.

Precisely.
