Or wrong with the British media?
I listened to his interview with Colbert last night. I feel so bad for Harry and Meghan.

I agree with your sentiment.

The Royal Family is soooo dysfunctional!

I saw Harry on Colbert last night too, and I think he's amazing. He and Meghan just couldn't take that kind of abuse.

The family is as dysfunctional as they come, entrenched in hundreds of years of Colonialism.

Harry was always his mother's son, and seemed to know from a young age that she was living in a fishbowl and then what it did to her, and how she died.He was probably shushed at a young age and often by dad and brother for ever even bringing up the issue.

Then add to that an AMERICAN (oh!) Bi-Racial (gasp!) Actress (whore) and it was the perfect storm for the royals and media to go feral on them both.

Good for them for getting out. Good on Him for telling the truth as much as it makes others uncomfortable (the family, press, and people in general who idolize the Royals...)

I hope once this wave is over that he and Meghan will just gracefully move into their own level of obscurity, raising their kids and doing philanthropy as needed. Fuck the titles, fuck the press. Once his kids start getting older and asking questions, he will hopefully pull back and give them their best shot at "normal" that he never had.

a bunch of assholes. Harry's revelations have really changed by opinions of them and not in a good way.

I’ve had 4 so far. 2 still living. A 15 year old and a 4 year old. We lost the 15 year olds sister in 2022. She was one of a kind and we miss her dearly. Her brother is still doing well. And the 4 year old has a PhD in cute and she knows it! They have all been major love bugs!

11. I dislike Harry because he got away with killing two hen harrier hawks

EXTREMELY ENDANGERED and protected, when he was 23.

I will never forgive him for that.

He should have gone to prison for it. Anybody else in Britain would have.
