@Blossomtoes I think you're being disingenuous. The reason Harry (and Meghan) are being slammed is because they stood up to the racism against Meghan both in and out of the Royal family. That is when people took against the couple, after the Oprah interview they felt forced to do, that is why they fled the UK, that is why he is after protection when he goes back to the UK. Hence what this thread is about.
They fled to the US which is arguably much more racist than the UK for a start! Public opinion was very much for them at the beginning. Everyone I know thought Meghan was lovely and it’s not like the RC didn’t pull all the stops out for her. She was involved within the family, invited for Christmas before the wedding etc, which was unusual I read. I think people took against them due to their behaviour more than anything else.
Tantrums about tiaras, throwing cups of tea at staff, staff resigning, whining about not being asked how they are on a luxurious trip to a poverty stricken country, a tax payer funded wedding full of celebrities, the half a million pound baby shower, Harry not even meeting her father or either of them going to see him after his heart surgery. her ‘friends’ leaking a private letter from him, arguments about bridesmaids tights. Also thinking their ‘brand’ was bigger than the institution than made it and flouncing when it was made clear to them that it was not.
Harry has enjoyed positive press for years due to sympathy from his mother dying and he certainly didn’t deserve it. That’s what the Oprah interview was about, classic aggressors trying to pain themselves as victims. They knew they’d run out of sympathy in the UK and wanted to try to drum some up interest for them hitting the US market. That massively backfired especially as they did it when his grandfather was on his deathbed!
Harry is so caught up in trying validate his own self importance, it’s embarrassing. That’s what this court case is about. He knows he’ll be perfectly safe visiting his family. The likelihood of anyone getting close enough to harm him and his family is less then in the US I should imagine but he wants to be important on his own terms!
I’m sure there’s been whispering in his ear that he should be on the same level as William despite not having to had to live with the pressure of being 1st in line to the throne and having to sacrifice his life to prepare for being Head of the Monarchy.
I find it quite baffling that this can’t be seen for what it is. Of course the racism allegation, which has not been proven, trumps everything for people who want to jump on it for their own agenda and it was a masterstroke.
