I Can't Stay Silent Anymore
My American wife, her parents and extended family (for months now) have kept asking me when I'm going to give my two cents on #PrinceHarry, and in the beginning I was defending him. But I just can't stay silent anymore.
Want to leave the RF for a normal life? By all means, go ahead.
But the interviews, documentaries, book... HOW can you not see that the media is exploiting him for all he's worth. American's have very little knowledge, other than what they see on TV, of what and who Harry is.
As a Brit, I'd wake up and read the newspaper and see paparazzi photos splashed across the front page of Harry stumbling out of nightclubs drunk. Do I have an immense guilt for him? Of fucking course I do. He was never given the proper chance to grieve the death of his mother. Then quick as anything, Charles moved Camilla in and the turmoil that must've created is unimaginable. Having to put on a brave face for the crowds of adoring "fans".
He should have been protected more. He should have had better security when he was not on palace grounds. He should have been able to grieve the death of Diana without the weight of the world on his shoulders. Take titles away for a second, this was a young boy who lost his mother in a horrific accident. He had to walk behind her hearse in a public procession, whilst hundreds of thousands of strangers lined the streets - and millions more around the world - cried and sobbed for someone they didn't know. His Mum.
Am I making excuses for him? Absolutely fucking not.
But do I understand his pain? How could you not?!
But do NOT think for even a second that Diana would be proud of how he's behaved since then. Publicly shaming his own Brother, the only person he's had since birth who he had completely on his side.
All she ever wanted was for them both to have as much of a normal life as possible. Granted, William wouldn't have much of a "normal" one due to him being directly in line to the throne.. but Harry.. he of all people should know how the institution works. Is it brutal? Absolutely. Are there things that need changing? Obviously. But for fuck sake, Henry. You should prove your point and your do your mother proud by being the bigger person and rising above this bullshit!
Don't buy into the media circus that was the demise of Diana!
Queen Elizabeth II - god rest her soul - knew that if you give the public an inch, they'll take a mile.. and this book? Is so damaging. Unbelievably humiliating. For you.
I understand the need to support your family and provide for them, but Jesus Christ. He's seriously gone about this all wrong and I'm honestly devastated for him, I truly am.
Despite everything, I'm probably one of very few these days who still genuinely want the best for him and I sincerely hope that he's able to start healing soon.
