I think Harry is learning what life is like without the help of the palace to control the media. He's had many a gaff covered up by them, and I suppose he just thought this would continue.
It's no surprise that two people who rushed in to marriage with a dysfunctional family each side (to different degrees) have ended up repenting in leisure.
It was all too soon, it was all too fast. He was warned about this, but rather than applying the breaks, getting the full picture of the markles and the issues they could cause, they bolted against all advise and got on with it. Surprise surprise it blew up.
I think everyone knew they had helped write finding freedom. Is anyone really shocked by this?!
I wouldn't go as far as to say Meghan is a liar, but I would say she is manipulative and so is Harry because he and his family have manipulated the press for decades. They really are a match made in heaven. Meghan is also a fun of using loaded sentences, and portraying herself as the victim. This irks British society and norms, we after all are known for our stiff upper lip, but the Americans love a victim and get the cotton wool out for them.
But honestly in the grand scheme does all this even matter. Why the British press just won't let them dissapear in to obscurity is beyond me, but then the flip side I think the British press want to expose how manipulative they both are. So this will continue, they issue a statement of manipulation, the press bite back and "uncover the truth".
I think the palace have the right stance, don't complain don't explain. Issue the odd statement "recollections may vary" i.e we know they are telling half truths you do too, but we aren't going to confirm it out right and leave you all to it.
The palace know the press with free reign on them will do the digging and the dirty work, so they get to keep their hands clean.
