Perhaps because it wasn’t ever their full intention to do this, Harry has stated consistently that he still wanted to serve in some capacity, and continue to do charity work, and when it came to what he thought was going to be a proper discussion about the situation, he was presented with the Sandringham “Agreement” that was nothing of the sort!
And perhaps because people are questioning what appears to be extreme family loyalty to AMW in the face of what he has alleged to have done, in comparison to the cold shouldering of Harry?
It smacks of skewed values in that they reward those who stay quiet and loyal and within the family circle , even when something as heinous as potential fraud and the alleged SA of vulnerable young women is involved, but they come down harder on what they see as disloyalty from H&M for much lesser perceived “misdemeanours”. It’s strange!
And maybe people are questioning why such extreme secrecy is necessary in the first place? Why is the institution which represents us not completely open and transparent? What else are they hiding?
(For example; I don’t mean this to be disrespectful to Charles in any way, who is entitled to privacy regarding his health, but some commentators in other countries think it’s very odd and anti-democratic, that the British public isn’t allowed to know more about the state of health of someone who occupies such an important state role and who heads an institution for which they are paying collectively £132.1 million in taxes per year.)
Maybe some identify with Harry’s position as a step son, with his own mother having been side lined when she was alive and disparaged after her death, and with his step-mother having potential influence over his future and what slice of the pie he is entitled to? And to what degree he is forgiven or not?
And for myself I am not against H&M becoming and remaining private citizens at all! In fact I wish they would! But I think realistically it’s just not going to happen.
First, H&M never wanted it. Second, the press won’t allow it.
And it’s highly doubtful that M or H can go out now after being the focus of global press attention for so long and and earn money in an ordinary way. If Catherine couldn’t make it work as a buyer for Jigsaw two decades ago when news outlets were fewer in number , then H&M won’t be able to make a go of it now. Harry isn’t trained to do anything but fly a helicopter and I hope not, but I predict that Meghan’s potential acting projects will be scuppered just as soon as news breaks about them.
And bc now they have two children, who they have to support for at least the next twenty years, they will need money. Especially if they pay extortionate school fees.
