Prince Harry’s book

[Anonymous]

I am really enjoying the audio book. I had a pretty neutral opinion of him, but remember his party boy reputation.

What strikes me is how lonely he is after his mother dies. There's almost no parenting. Just a bunch of royal rules. His life is very restricted even as he becomes an adult. And his desire to even find a wife is thwarted because no one even wants to date him because of the press, which savages anyone he gets close to.

It's not some cutesy American thing women all say to each other. Especially from someone who doesn't even have kids. A friend might say it to another friend, who are both mothers, when one can't decide what to eat for dinner or some other trivial thing. Otherwise, it's rude and inappropriate.

It is reasonable to assume that your relationship with your soon-to-be SIL is on a different level than a coworker. Yet, even with co-workers, it wouldn't be unreasonable, condescending or rude to excuse a lapse by attributing it to baby-brain. Presumabley, there is some friendliness and goodwill between coworkers. What the incident highlighted is how very wrong that assumption was for the family Meghan was joining.

Kate probably thought she was the queen and how dare Meghan tries to be buddy buddy.

British and Americans are different. Americans tend to be overly friendly and quick to want to become close too fast. English are just more reserved generally.

I felt the same way. Listening to him talk about his mom broke my heart.
