Fundamentally they want different things. She adores fame and adulation, he wants a quieter life but is so used (understandably) to the royal mantle that he doesn’t have the equipment to deal with anything else.
I don’t negate his time in the army, but that would have been very structured and organised as well.
if they had left for America, done a positive OW interview, him published a book about his life in a positive light with interesting facts about being royal and his time in the army it would have all been so different. But to kick start their Stateside life with such negativity and venom it was never going to produce the golden ticket they dreamt of.
I also don’t underestimate how different and difficult it no doubt is for Harry living abroad, without his friendship group that seems to have been cut off, his family somewhat estranged and no focus. They obviously don’t listen to advice from professionals so just bump from one lacklustre project to the next.
Then there’s the lavish lifestyle that constantly needs to be paid for without an obvious income stream. Harry is so far removed from understanding this as all his life he’s just had money delivered year on year via his father.
Then how do you form meaningful connections and friendships in their new location? Who do you trust, there’s no historical friendships, and actually what do you have in common with Alist celebrities who have honed their craft whether in acting, entertainment, music etc. They’ve gained their multi millions from sheer hard work.
The wheels are coming off the bus and have been pretty much since their own enforced separation from the UK and his royal life. It’s also hugely hypocritical that she has been so critical about many aspects of royal life and its workings, yet they’re adamant they want the titles and prestige and fame that being royals bring.
But this latest shot across the bows from America just reinforces what was being reported in the UK previously. She’s obviously a tricky character, he’s naive and not very bright and their future just looks less and less rosy and actually rather sad.
