The possibility of restoring it to its former glory remains, particularly with the expertise of skilled individuals. There is a sense of redemption in witnessing the revival of something that possesses strong foundations, albeit with a dark history.
In contrast, Meghan embodies a house in a McMansion subdivision, like the Montecito Olive Garden. It may be flashy and expensive, but beneath the surface, it lacks substance, constructed from cheap materials.
Attempting to replicate trends from other cultures, it appears ostentatious and tasteless. Situated in an undesirable location, with dubious origins and a questionable past, it was acquired at discounted prices and proves uninsurable. Over time, it becomes burdensome, an albatross for its owner.
Its value will never appreciate, destined to face risks of fire, flood, and landslides. Ultimately, it will be demolished.
An insider shared their perspective on the matter, equating Harry to Buckingham Palace due to his undeniable significance. However, this comparison serves to highlight his shortcomings even more. As a member of the monarchy and a part of his family, he had a duty to contribute positively and address any internal issues without subjecting them to public scrutiny. His actions expose a self-centered, lazy, ignorant, and entitled nature. While Meghan may have influenced him, it is ultimately his true character being revealed.
The reason we were not fully aware of his true self until now is because the palace's public relations machine diligently cleaned up his messes, presenting him as a somewhat normal human being. However, it turns out he was spoiled, spiteful, and entitled all along.
Ironically, Harry's true nature was exposed on numerous occasions before Meghan entered the picture. The media often spun his missteps, granting him the leniency of a 15-year-old well into his 30s, while his brother, Prince William, was held to higher standards at the same age.
Media reports documented Harry's incidents involving broken bottles, inappropriate behavior towards women, and his bans from various pubs. Notably, the infamous Vegas photos only scratched the surface of his behavior. Reports even described his relationship with Cressida as marked by entitlement, highlighting the difference in their upbringings.
In one shocking incident, photographs showcased the injured sides of his polo pony after playing recklessly. Another time, he dangerously aimed a polo ball directly at an authorized press pen, potentially endangering lives. When criticized by an opponent during a polo match, it was William who apologized on his behalf.
It seems both the royal family and the media played a role in sanitizing Harry's image. The media, in particular, contributed to the perception of him as a reformed individual. However, it appears that the true Harry is a spoiled, spiteful, entitled individual, finally exposed for all to see.
The type of royals Prince Harry and Meghan would be if they were part of the family but refused to acknowledge the real issues with Harry's behavior is a subject of concern. Instead of addressing his viciousness and impulsivity, they often portrayed it as high spirits or charm.
The British royal family, in a way, owes him for enabling this behavior all along, remarked the Beast. They seemed to have avoided truly grappling with the truth, possibly due to his youthful behavior initially being dismissed and later excused as being "young for his age."
In my opinion, Harry should never receive taxpayer money or be involved in public life. If King Charles wants to support him financially and privately, that's his prerogative, but it should remain off-camera and away from the public spotlight indefinitely.
Meghan also criticized her own family, as she has no contact with anyone except her mother, who still serves a purpose in her life. Both Harry and Meghan have spoken negatively about their respective families, yet they still maintain contact with those who allow it, clinging to any benefits they can receive from the "bank of King Charles." The reason Meghan has severed ties with her family is likely because they have nothing useful to offer her. Even if it's only to criticize them, the royal family remains useful to their agenda.
It's clear that both Harry and Meghan were complicit in their actions, feeding into each other's echo chamber. It's difficult to determine who is worse as they both trashed their families for personal gain. They have chosen to take the low road, disregarding any moral high ground. They both sank into the gutter when they targeted their own families.
Admittedly, the Markle family is not without flaws, but the situation didn't need to escalate to the extent it did. Harry appears worse simply because we have witnessed his interactions with his family throughout his life, and we know he was loved. While there isn't a public record of Meghan's interactions with her family, her previous words indicate she adored her father. He, despite limited means, spoiled her, paying for her private school and university education.
In my view, both Harry and Meghan are equally culpable. If Meghan's family had something to offer them, they likely would have attempted to coerce what they desired from them as well. If unsuccessful, they might have resorted to writing books and giving interviews, just like they have done with the royal family.
King Charles will always ensure that Harry has a place to live, access to therapy, and his basic needs met. However, I doubt Prince William will have any further involvement with Harry. While they both treated William's family poorly, the gravest offense was Harry allowing Meghan to violate the privacy of William's children, which is unforgivable.
From a public relations perspective, the Sussexes face a significant problem. Criticizing them has become a popular trend, and this poses a danger to their brand. Those who bash the Sussexes on social media often receive favorable press coverage, enhancing their own image. YouTubers, in particular, are gaining a large number of subscribers by joining the bandwagon. Bashing the Sussexes has become a profitable endeavor, and once the momentum builds, it becomes challenging to halt.
