Prince Harry’s acting like some YouTuber with an inflated ego

THE Harry formerly known as “Prince” is said to be a bit miffed. It appears to have come as a nasty surprise to him that he’s not going to get to keep his military titles.
It’s a surprise, I think, only because
Harry is a bit thick. When it comes to IQ, Harry makes
Prince Andrew resemble
Stephen Hawking. He’s, y’know, a bunch of diamonds short of the full Crown Jewels.
Harry lost the right to those honorary titles when he left the
Royal Family. Now he’s lolling in his 16-bathroom mansion in California. With his very self-important missus,
Meghan.
Given that he was performing no royal duties whatsoever and was not, any longer, a real prince, most people thought this was fair enough. But Harry would have wanted his titles.
Why? Because I reckon in his bid to rake in as much moolah as possible from the Sussexes’ ludicrous media career, any trappings of royalty help. In reality, the titles mean very little.
Harry is — for the time being — Captain General of the Royal Marines. But if the Marines were about to go on a mission they’d get more useful advice from a speak-your-weight machine than ol’ ginger nut.
He is also Honorary Air Commandant of
RAF Honington. Pilots — you can now fly in safety! He won’t be in the control tower any time soon. But they mean a lot to Harry because, as I say, he needs purchasing power.
Without them he’s just a dim carrot-top with a hugely annoying wife. Who would care what he has to say about anything?
He has treated his family, especially his grandmother, abominably.
He gave
the Queen next to no warning that he was going to up sticks to “Canada” (ie. Los Angeles). No warning he was effectively leaving the Royal Family.
Overstated sense of his own worth
Since then he and Meghan have simultaneously whined about horrible Press intrusion into their lives and how they wish to be left in peace — while signing whopping deals with TV companies to show their lives in full on
Netflix.
And making asinine, cringe-worthy, statements via their blog site. Harry has not behaved with royal dignity. He has behaved like a boring YouTube influencer with an overstated sense of his own worth.
The latest news is that the gruesome twosome will be doing a 90-minute interview with another very self-regarding woman,
Oprah Winfrey.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Meghan will do a bit of carping about the staid and conservative British Royal Family. More pain for the Queen. But Meghan is a woman in a very great hurry. Rumours are that she would like a political career — good luck, America!
The couple are well in with Hollywood’s liberal elite. They’re also about to have another baby, a sibling for young
Archie. Good for them, we all wish them well. That’s a joyous event.
I have the horrible feeling that Harry and Meghan will be too busy blogging and doing interviews to change many nappies. But a retinue of nannies should sort that out.
And so Meghan and Harry can lecture us about “privilege” while the child- rearing is likely going on elsewhere. But that’s not the point. The real issue is that Harry is really no longer a member of the British Royal Family. That was his decision. And that means none of the perks should be available to him.
He does not represent any of us. He cannot have his cake and eat it.
