It's often said that a partner's most crucial role is to provide guidance and support, offering that gentle whisper into their ear when they're veering off track. In this case, Meghan Markle, as Harry's wife, could play a vital role in helping him navigate these difficult situations. However, it appears that Meghan has chosen to completely withdraw from my husband's public affairs, leaving him to face the consequences alone.
As a result, Harry's missteps and self-destructive behavior have escalated, causing irreparable damage to the little credibility they had left. The repercussions of his autobiography, "Spare," continue to mount. He faces fierce criticism for revealing private conversations with the royal family, and even his American citizenship has been questioned in a U.S. court, with the potential threat of deportation due to his revelations of extensive illegal drug use.
Furthermore, Harry was forced to admit under oath in court that he had no evidence of phone hacking by Mirror Group Newspapers, despite initially claiming otherwise. This entire situation was predictable and avoidable. What was needed more than ever was for Meghan, who claimed to prioritize Harry's best interests, to step in and provide guidance.
She could have told him that none of this was worth the turmoil it would bring into their lives, and that he didn't have the evidence to win the court case. She could have reminded him that these actions were damaging their business interests and hindering their pursuit of a happy life in California. Instead, Meghan left Harry in the hands of a ghostwriter and a group of individuals who have been on a mission to bring down the British press.
The consequences have been as one might expect: a suicide mission in terms of credibility. Harry's recent days in the witness box during the court case were nothing short of mortifying. He became aware, with the world watching, that the majority of the articles he believed were a result of phone hacking were actually already in the public domain.
His victimhood narrative, which he often relies on, fell apart when faced with actual facts presented by the Mirror's legal counsel.
While we can empathize with the pain Harry experienced losing his mother in such a public manner, it's also exhausting to constantly hear his complaints about his privileged life. He claims that media coverage drove him to become a prolific drug user and a playboy prince. It's simply ludicrous.
