For a man whose mother inspired global love, it's surprising the extent to which Harry is doing the opposite.

It just hit me. Diana was loved, really loved, by millions. Look at the palace flowers after she died. And here is her son, throwing his anger and hurt about lavishly on a global scale. I wish someone really talented theraputically could help him better process the pain of losing his mother.

I think he is his mother's son!

I started wondering about this as well.Would Diana would have turned into the same loose cannon if she had not died young? It has certainly make me see Diana not as a victim but a bit… unhinged, even when I was a big Diana’s fan.

This is a kinder version of what I was going to say which was that they’re arguably not dissimilar in that she was a deeply silly, under-educated, credulous, manipulative, troubled woman from a privileged, dysfunctional family who had disastrous instincts about relationships, and H is demonstrably not very bright, troubled, self-absorbed, from a privileged, dysfunctional family etc. She got more public sympathy because she was good-looking, wore nice frocks, sat pensively solo at the Taj Mahal, walked through mines wearing nice jeans and did artless big-eyed revelations of other peoples betrayals on tv — Harry gets a more divided response because he’s self-evidently also a familiar type of crude, dimwit Old Etonian, married a Pushy Wallis Simpson type and walked out. And then hovered half in, half out, alleging literally everyone in the world is wrong.

It’s just different types of media circus.
