What is Harry trying to achieve?

On the one hand he says he wants his brother and father back but on the other hand he is selling his story to the highest bidder like some Z-list celebrity.

How does he think this will end?

Harry is trying to imitate Ronaldo. First, totally burn his bridges over here.

Then, get signed up on a megabucks deal with Saudi Arabia.

But would the Saudis want him as a prince?

I think Harry thought he was very very lucky to get Meghan to marry him (which is sweet) but he let her think the life she was getting in return was very different from what it actually is in case she backed out, and she thought it was going to be like a Hallmark movie. She wore a 50k couture dress for one of their engagement photos - even at the time I thought it was a misstep. Everything he has done since they got engaged has been an attempt to make it up to her for 'misleading' her (I don't think he did but I can understand he would feel guilty) and he's desperate to give her the life she thought she was getting - billionaire wealth, security (literally and financial), tiny princes and princesses, power, influence, fame and the ability to get anyone on the phone. The royal family is a very weird semi-public business and I actually don't think the perks are worth the scrutiny or the illusion of wealth and power it confers, but at least Kate knew what she was getting. Meghan should have known better, but she chose to believe the fairytale.

I think you've nailed it. Everything is driven by fear of losing Meghan.

If the latest revelations about how many Afghans he killed and how he lost is virginity (not remotely comparable except in they are not things anyone needed to know) are true he has gone so far beyond the line it’s staggering

There’s no way back from that - surely

Yes, both are beyond the pale. What on earth were they thinking???

He's trying to please Meghan. In classic narcissist fashion, she has isolated him all his friends halfway across the world and he is terrified what would happen if he loses her. She will obviously get custody of the kids too and he has no home at all to return to.

He has always been the bigger meal ticket because people don't really care about the stories of a self-made actress. But they absolutely want gossip about the royal family, kings, queens, war, murder, love, sex, violence. He was able to offer all that under Meghan's prompting. She knew about american showbiz much better than he did and she basically served him to the media there.

She needs constant supply so as long as they're in the papers then she's probably happy. The Netflix series was a flop but the book is pretty explosive so it will keep them (her) happy for a while. Unless they realise they've bitten off more than they can chew and things like openly admitting you killed 25 Taliban members while the Taliban are now back in power in Afghanistan is probably not a good idea...

After his last revelations about his military experience, lost of virginity, etc I think that he’s got medical issues and needs professional help, not just a therapist to call to but something more serious - proper treatment in a medical facility using medications. He’s clearly unwell, like his head was spanked or something.

Sugarfree23 · 06/01/2023 01:22

I think he needs professional help too. If he doesn't he's going to end up self-medicating (alcohol or illegal drugs)

He can't be happy with his private most thoughs out in public. It's almost like he's used the writer as a dumping ground and over shared like he would with a therapist. Except a therapist won't tell the world. Was he in control of what eventually made it into the book.

My prediction for him is sooner or later he'll end up in a MH unit. Before returning to the UK to hide out Andrew style and recover from his issues somewhere in the Royal Estate.

Lindy2 · 06/01/2023 09:07

Sugarfree23 I agree. Surely he can't be happy to have all this out there for the public to laugh at.

He might have Meghan and his PR team cheering him on but when the reality hits I think he's going to be in real trouble.

Unfortunately he's too far gone to be helped now.

I think Megan is the driving force behind a lot of it, as a pp said, she is his world, he will be terrified of losing her.
Alot of this is also about Diana

Would you want your hubby to share with the world how he lost his virginity in a field behind a pub? I wouldn’t, it would feel humiliating to me somehow. Either she didn’t read the book in advance (which I don’t believe) or she’s happily exploiting the salacious details in which case she only sees him as potential for fame and money.
