Did he really court fame, or did he have it cruelly (at times) thrust upon him. My abiding memory of the young Harry is of a 12 year old boy being made to march behind his mothers coffin for public spectacle. That made him the most famous child in the world, he didn't ask for that. As he got to 21 he went off in the army, then when he got back he used the fame he didn't ask to raise money and awareness for injured troops. If he didn't do that he would be a lazy sponging parasite. I'm conflicted with royals, I feel sorry for them being thrust in the limelight and having no choice, while also detesting that some of them take full advantage of the benefits, to influence their wealth and consolidate their power and control.
