[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Harry and William were not members of the Royal Family, they would absolutely be estranged from their father and Camilla. I know people who are estranged from their parents for much less trauma.

Lets look at all the ways Charles screwed up their childhoods:
-Carried on an affair with a long standing mistress
-Exacerbated and took advantage of their mother's mental illness/fragility
-Emotionally distant, sent them off to boarding schools
-Contributed to the death of their mother

Would you stick by your father through all this crap he inflicted on your family?[/quote]

Would they stick by a mother who regularly abandoned them to the father you think they despise so that she could swan off with her latest lover?   British men, especially, have a saint and slut version of women.   Wonder where Diana falls on that scale with her sons.   Even the most devoted son would question their mother’s behavior. [/quote]

I don't think Charles was a perfect father but I also think that his parenting reflects the customs of his social set.  Most boys were sent to boarding school at that time, it's not just his sons.  Even Diana was on record that he is a good father.    You also have to think about all the ways in which Diana, who undoubtedly loved her children and cared for them, did things that were not appropriate or not supportive of their mental wellbeing.   I prefer to think about their parenting as two flawed people making flawed choices but loving parents nevertheless.  There is certainly no doubt that Harry and William were loved and supported, to the best of their ability, by their grandparents, uncles and aunts. [/quote]
