Doods, It is a horrible life to be born into, it would not be for me either despite the money and so called privilages. Harry was clearly a troubled soul following his mothers hounding to death, who wouldn’t be. He has generally had positive press and was a very well liked man, respected by most people, I don’t recall him having the press and social media giving him a hard time throughout his life. Clearly we all make observations and assumptions. He has always been happy to speak to the media on good news days and use the media for his good causes and his army life, so you have to expect a degree of attention as a Prince.
I don’t like or agree with the way the press follow him around from time to time or report on things like his holidays etc, but he received tax payers money, tax payers security so his whereabouts and visits are in the public domain. He waited until after marriage to do this, he could have done it well before now if he genuinely did not want that life, he is 35, not 21, he brought Meghan into it, they chose a flamboyant public wedding and approved it to be live on TV. I don’t know too many people who get all they want from life. I do know a couple of so called celebrities and they seem to accept that when you are in the public eye you are accountable and unwanted attention comes along with their chosen occupation as publicity is wanted when it suits. I appreciate it can be hard and soul destroying at times and Harry has suffered far more than Meghan in this way and his mental health, like anyones, is important, vitally so.
I do not like the way the press or social media behave and certainly don’t trust the press, but the laws of the land permit them to do as they do (mostly). I do not blame Harry and Meghan for their choice to leave the institution, they are not leaving his family, well not like Meghan seemingly has left her dad, anyway. I support them in their right to leave and live the life they want with future privacy. Just not at the taxpayers expense. Nobody can undo the past, we all have choices in life, some we regret hopefully most hopefully we do not, but there are always consequences to our choices and we may not always like them, some unexpected ones. Some sadly come at a heavy price. I have no wish to know what they or any other celebrities are up to, but clearly some do and as such the press will report on it.
Perhaps if the press were more intrusive on Andrew then several ladies may not have been seemingly trafficked for his amusement and others lives may have been better and Epstein outed far sooner than he was, to boot, who knows. Their has to be balance, but where thats sits will differ for everyone in truth.
