Harry did not choose to be born into the royal family, so your theory falls apart on its face.

He did choose to trash it but demand to stay a part of it?

He didn’t trash the family as a whole, nor did he trash the monarchy. His issues are with the way people in the family are pitted against each other, intertwined with serious issues with the British press and how those with less power in the family are thrown to the media wolves to benefit the more powerful members.

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.

Dp.

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

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.

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.

Harry might have memories of doing visits with Diana — and how well they were received. I think he did —and probably does — appreciate that aspect of the job as being something more than perfunctory. I think, too, that with Sentebale and Invictus, he found ways to move beyond the performative aspects of the job to provide meaningful resources and targeted services to people who clearly benefit from them. If Harry sees his purpose as “service” he might include quite a lot — from his military service to ribbon cuttings under that umbrella.

+1. I didn’t read the 46 pages of posts before this one, but as a new poster to this thread who just finished Spare, I was really horrified by the way Camila and his dad sold out private details of his life in exchange for better coverage and themselves. (especially Camilla who is back on my ***t list after this book). Good for him for calling out vile behavior. That’s not what parents are supposed to do.

Who wants to really live in cold, isolated, MAGA minded Montana. Nope.

People who want a simple and happy family life, away from world's craziness.

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

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.
