Someone wrote this response to Camilla Tominey on her X post where she linked her telegraph report on Harry's desperation for a reconciliation being doomed. Don't think I have ever read anything as succinct, articulate and which absolutely underscores all that is wrong with Harry and Meghan and the bullshit of Harry expecting a reconciliation. .
"Harry said he wanted a family, not an institution. But what he had was a family - and he treated them like an institution. And the media? They’ve played along with the delusion. Not because it’s true, but because it’s profitable. Harry and Meghan have generated endless content - for tabloids, for broadcasters, for Sussex-friendly podcasts and thinkpieces.
And now, with the story fading, everyone seems to be sniffing around for the next chapter. Something redemptive. A reconciliation arc. But here’s the reality: William will protect his wife - in the way the media have tried to convince us Harry was protecting his. The difference? William is protecting the actual mother of his children from a five-year campaign of reputational destruction, pushed by two people and their well-documented online PR network - from bot armies to blue ticks - who’ve worked to brand her as racist, cold, and complicit. Let’s be crystal clear: Harry and Meghan are directly responsible for online hate accounts like this one (yes, one of the “Squad” accounts boosted by their network). The same PR orbit the New York Times confirmed was behind the cruel, persistent hounding of a mother - one we now know was quietly enduring cancer. The fact that we even have to spell this out is a mark of how unserious the media has become.
Because once you look at this story as a family, not an institution, it becomes obvious: what’s happened is unforgivable.
We weren’t meant to find out that Omid Scobie was briefed - but we did. We weren’t supposed to link the coordinated strategy aimed at degrading Catherine and destabilising her marriage - but we can. And when you realise the Sussexes’ strategy wasn’t just to distance themselves from the monarchy, but to damage the family itself - to poison the well that William and Catherine’s three children depend on - you understand why William is done.
Harry is 40. He has made millions turning his broken-home trauma into entertainment - while helping build a narrative that targets his brother’s wife and children. George is 11. Catherine is his mummy as Diana was Harry’s. Spare us the media’s fantasy arc. You can push the reconciliation angle all you like, but most Brits know why William would want nothing to do with this man. This isn’t palace protocol. It’s personal. Because here’s the truth about families: for every Harry, there are two or three Williams. People who know exactly what it’s like to deal with a narcissistic sibling who’s always the victim, always spinning a new story, always demanding an apology. But this isn’t therapy. It’s reality. And William’s children already have family - you can see it in the warmth between them and their cousins. The only people clinging to the idea of the monarchy as an “institution” are the ones who walked away from the family part.
Remember the Commonwealth Day service - their final engagement? Meghan was playing to the cameras, working her narrative as the “feeling” woman breaking free from the cold institution. But look closer. It was William, Catherine, and even Harry who looked shattered. Grieving. Holding the line while the Sussexes turned their exit into performance. The press told us Meghan was the emotionally intelligent one. But the public saw something different. We always have.
We’ve endured five years of this - five years of PR spin masquerading as truth. Meghan isn’t the victim of Harry’s world. Harry is the victim of hers. Shallow, performative, obsessed with narrative, uninterested in kinship unless it comes with a crown or a camera. And here’s the hard truth for their camp: no matter how many headlines you buy or how many tweets your PR network coordinates, you cannot manufacture respect. You can’t make Britain care. Meghan thought this country needed her and her children. She’s about to learn it was the other way around
