That is one perspective. Different viewpoints exist.
For example, lots of reporters are saying they returned to the UK because their dc are of school age and they wanted them to have a British education.
Continuing with a different perspective …
Harry was born in to the royal family through no fault of his own , and like all of them, can’t escape his destiny. He can’t be a pseudo royal because he is son of the king and brother to the heir. And he was not brought up to do a normal job, unless it involves flying a helicopter.
Anyone he married would have been subject to huge media interest. Two of his previous gf’s allegedly broke up with him bc of that.
I am not saying that everything H&M did was correct, but I think he had a right to write and publish his own story given how many other people comment on his life and profit from it on an almost daily basis.
And to be fair to him, he wrote about all of the mistakes he made as well as criticising others.
It wasn’t wise to go on Oprah either but I think they felt hurt and pushed in to a corner by the fait accompli presented to H at the Sandringham Summit.
I don’t think it is beyond credibility that MM found some of her experiences in BP to be clouded by racial tension or strong misunderstandings.
And I think there should be more understanding for a woman, yes a savvy older independent woman, who married in to an institution dictated by rules she didn’t understand and who didn’t appreciate having her autonomy curtailed when she already had experience of the world and had always carved her own path in it.
Of course she was going to find that hard. Her reactions may have been inappropriately forceful and interpreted as bullying, who knows? But it is odd that the bullying charges were leaked just days before the Oprah interview. And appeared again in the US just as she was about to launch her enterprise. A bit suspicious.
And of course it’s going to be hard when you find your future child being portrayed in a cartoon as a chimpanzee and that being published on sm, and then across the tabloids.
She shouldn’t have complained publicly because that is when she lost the good will of a lot of people. It wasn’t appropriate given the poverty of the women she was visiting.
But we shouldn’t condemn her either for finding it hard, especially when on a tour of SA which by all accounts was quite demanding and she had had a baby four months previously.
Being an ordinary non-royal person, she probably would have appreciated a bit of feedback from Charles and the Queen but that family only seem to communicate in a Victorian style through flunkies and notes! Imagine having to make an appointment to see your own dad?
BP when MM joined was very out of date in how it functioned and communicated. The late Queen’s long reign meant that everything had stayed the same for far too long. And Charles is not a young man.
MM used Instagram and sm and W and C have followed suit with their “highly produced” videos, so MM did help to modernise the family’s communication methods, for good or bad!
And I think it’s unfair to say she wanted to be star of the show. How can you know that? She and Harry are popular with different sections of society to W and C.
They appeal to a public that is youthful, poorer, more culturally diverse, as they discovered in Nottingham and the institution would have been wise to have hung on to that appeal and used them to improve their dwindling popularity among the young. I think H and M would have been happy in that niche and to leave the more formal, stuffy, state dinners etc to W and C who do their part well.
But maybe William didn’t like that idea? Neither of us know what went on. So my guesses are as valid as yours.
As for attention-seeking, I don’t see why they should hide in a cave. They have to finance themselves now. They both had careers that were in the public eye before they married and that is what they both trained to do.
And Meghan didn’t appear in public or say a word while in the UK recently and there were still reams written about her! They really can’t win!
