Harry then did military service and saw action, firmly establishing himself as favourite royal. To add to that he did a bunch of stuff like the Invictus games. His stock could not have been higher.

Then he met Meghan. And that was good. We liked Suits. Meghan was nice and attractive. So we liked Meghan.

But...the British Press are a nasty bunch, and they love to tell a story. Harry hates the press following the blame apportioned to them for Diana’s death. And whilst the bloodline to King will largely be left alone, the brother of the the to-be king is fair game.

The press then tore into Meghan about her treatment of her father. And every headline had a negative bias. Unfortunately, over here, that sells papers.

Harry and Meghan have had a Royal strop and want to go from being major royals to minor royals (fewer duties. Fewer constraints, less cash). Something like that anyway.

There are now two sides to the British public on this, it seems to be the way we operate now over here, nobody can be in the middle, must be extreme.

Great post and fun read thx for sharing. As a German living on the west coast I’m a it detached from good ol Europe
