Others, with good reason, will find it a sad exercise to monetize their bitterness to buy their independence and luxurious lifestyle.

At the center of this societal trend, everyone claims “their truth.”
To make us believe she’s being objective, she’s doped up with some unflattering revelations, like her deflowering drugs. Objectively, this is all just to add weight to his attacks. The stepmother and her dark powers, her brother and his rigidity.
Limited by a modicum of dignity and the survival of the institution to which they belong, his father, brother and the other members of the Windsor family have no claim to “their truth”.
It would certainly be more nuanced. She would also be a prisoner of compromise at the heart of the royal proposition: fame and fortune in exchange for duty and popular support.
However, in the land of Harry and the generation he courts, compromises are no more. There is only the existential right to individual aspirations. Self-criticism is a compromise of the “I”. You must feed the primal wound instead of freeing yourself from it.

What lessons can we learn from all of this?
The royal family is toxic? We already knew that.
The monarchy is an outdated anachronism? We knew that too.
And yet, with a little research, introspection, and judgment, Prince Harry could have offered us a modern reflection on today’s monarchy and its borders.
Unfortunately, he preferred to only talk about his navel.
