There are millions of financially underprivileged families where no child would ever suffer like that.

Many, many children “suffer like that”, unfortunately.

Could you name one other child that had been forced to parade behind his dead mother’s coffin on live tv? Of the millions you claim exist?

The children I’m thinking about aren’t ‘important’ enough to have been on TV at all, silly! But mu DH was an orphan by 11 so I do think that often people can move on.

DP. I think you are underestimating the impact of going through that under intense public/media scrutiny that follows for years afterward.

Oh please.

How about the impact of going through that and getting no support at all, like everyone else???

Congratulations, your husband wins the suffering Olympics.

Do you not realize how badly out of touch it is for him to complain?

Yep, privileged people should just suck up any mistreatment by others.

I certainly hope you never complain about anything, because you are a hell of a lot more privileged than many people in the world.

It's interesting to me how many people give their fellow DCUMer a hard time for being privileged, expecting too much from their family, etc., but are willing to give Harry a pass. Can you imagine if someone wrote here about growing up in Great Falls and then getting cut off at age 25, in any circumstance? (Let alone a price in his 30s?)

It’s the “any circumstances “ parts that make the difference though.

It’s hard to imagine someone from Great Falls being required to be a public figure —from birth, with the universal understanding that they were literally born to work, publicly, in the family firm, and be subordinate to their parent, elder sibling, and that elder sibling’s kids Forever. If you can find such a person in Great Falls, I’m certainly open to discussing giving them a pass or two, and that’s without the abuse and neglect pieces.

I just finished the book. It was okay. He's telling his story from his perspective; just like all of the political people who write books after they leave office, that's his prerogative. Some parts were interesting to me; some parts were not (some of the war and helicopter parts). I found the brother relationship most interesting; they both have been through the same shyte yet there is a difference because their future paths are so varying.

I think he is on a path of better self awareness but I don't think he is there yet. He's in his late 30s, and in my late 30s I did a lot of stupid selfish crap. At 40 after doing all that, I looked inward and learned a lot, I think he has the ability to get there...maybe getting all this out will be a turning point for him. I do think he has the right to live without drones and such...unfortunately if the money wasn't there people wouldn't do it.

Did you read the book? They tried doing that in an isolated/rural place on Vancouver Island. It lasted 6 weeks before the media found them.

no one is "after" them. if they had stayed in England they would have had security and could have lived relatively low key lives like Zara or Lady Louise. They never had the paps hound them like Diana did, and they could have easily faded into a country life with money, protection and Harry's family who he supposedly loves. They WANTED to go abroad to MAKE MONEY and be FAMOUS!!!

How many death threats v have Zara received in her life? There’s was no way the paparazzi was going to allow Meghan to fade into a country life. What are you smoking PP.

As a Black female, I think I’d probably encounter a fair amount of the world’s craziness in Montana.

Not the PP. As someone who is mostly anti-Royal and read the book expecting a hate read (which I did not get), I didn’t think he was complaining at all. He was factual. The fact is that his life as a child was horrific after his mother died. That is just the truth. I didn’t come away from that book thinking he was whiny. I came away from the book — which I expected to gleefully hate — really saddened.

It’s not out of touch for Harry to write about a series of horrifying events he experienced as a child. I have no idea where the crazy haters are making all this stuff up from. I think they are either crazy or they didn’t read the book.

I don’t know, do you? This is not unique to Meghan. Princess Anne was almost kidnapped in 1974 and has had multiple stalkers arrested. Unfortunately, it comes with being in the public eye.

Plus, people keep talking about the “paparazzi” hounding Meghan. How many “paparazzi” photos of Meghan were there published after the wedding and before they left the UK? The only images I remember seeing were from official events. To the point that the images of paparazzi used in their documentary had nothing to do with Meghan & Harry. It is well known that the UK press will not publish paparazzi photographs of the Royal Family. Kate & her children walk in the park around Kensington Palace and are not photographed. The famous topless photos of Kate were taken and published in France & they won a lawsuit over it. Harry & Meghan’s issues with paparazzi arose when they left the UK.

Maybe people do talk about the paparazzi hounding Meghan. People also talk about the toxic press, with the recent noxious opinion piece by Jeremy Clarkson — friend of Camilla — standing out as a particularly abhorrent example of this. Do the other royals get similar treatment? Not comments on their actual behavior, but are there articles about the author’s sadistic fantasies published in the mainstream press?

I don’t think many have suggested that absolutely no one else in the Royal family ever gets threats. It has been pointed out, though, that Meghan gets quite a few racially tinged, violent threats — something that is indeed “unique to Meghan” — and that the limits on their security when the Sussexes in the UK have not been adequately resolved.

She isn't a random black woman, she is a white looking biracial wealthy woman who is married to a whiter prince and has powerful connections. She'll be fine in modern day Montana.

Just because she gets more clicks hence more tabloid interest because of the ongoing drama, doesn't mean her life would be in danger if they weren't continuously creating content and controversy.

I get their need of sticking it to royals and tabloids and rub gain more fame, relevance and wealth but it shouldn't be a bigger priority than having a peaceful and private life they say they want.

People will move on to next shiny object if these left limelight. William's kids are heirs and about to become teens, they'll attract a lot more attention.

He actually mostly complained about the press, which was very legit. He did not complain about royal duties, which I found surprising. I would think going to endless nursing home openings and ribbon cuttings would be tedious. He seems to be sorry that he can't do that stuff now.
