The walls are adorned with edgy artwork, and color block sofas in various shades of blue and orange complete the decor. Enter Megan and Harry, the Duke and Duchess of hypocrisy. Harry confidently walks in, extending his hand to greet everyone, introducing himself as Harry. By his side is Megan Markle, sporting a smirk and wearing overpriced high heels that some may find unflattering. Do they desire coffee, water, or perhaps kombucha?
Now, let's delve into business. Excitement fills the air, as the entire world eagerly awaits their ideas. "Harry, why don't you go first?" suggests Megan, while adjusting her dress, which, as usual, doesn't quite fit her body. She places a hand on Harry's thigh and continues, "Considering the respect I've gained for my truth, darling, I thought I could sit down with influential figures like Putin or the Pope and discuss their traumas."
A silence ensues as nobody knows how to respond. "The Pope? God's representative on Earth?" someone questions. "Yes, and Putin's trauma, of course," Harry asserts. "Sorry, Harry, but do you actually know either of these people?" interjects someone, to which Harry replies, "No, but I do know Elton John, who seems to know everyone. Besides, Oprah mentioned having a possible connection with Putin." Megan adds, "But honestly, I wouldn't need to meet them myself. You can do it for me, and I'll record myself asking the questions later, right?" The room falls silent again.
And if anyone has objections, Megan has a brilliant idea for a show focused on powerful women, prompting collective groans. Now, if Harry weren't so obnoxious, his behavior might be considered somewhat endearing. Ambition is not to be criticized, but it requires genuine hard work. If he had taken the time to write letters, engage with intermediaries, broker deals, and make the necessary calls – in short, put in the real effort – he might have had a chance to secure interviews with such influential figures. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Harry's approach seems to revolve around empty platitudes and ill-conceived notions.
He fails to grasp the amount of work involved in producing successful shows. The Wall Street Journal even referred to his track record on these projects as consistently disappointing or subpar. In fact, they published a lengthy article discussing the failures of Megan and Harry, including the latest talk of a Netflix show titled "Bad Manners," based on Dickens' Miss Havisham, wherein the character is portrayed as a strong woman living in a patriarchal society rather than a victim. We can't entirely fault Harry, though.
He was raised as a member of the royal family, where existence itself becomes a career. Ordering people around and having others take care of the details becomes the norm. As a royal, money and status are almost guaranteed. Many individuals go the extra mile, which is why they receive love and respect.
However, in Harry's case, not only did he grow up as a royal, but he was also once a favorite – Diana's precious little boy, whom we all adored and felt protective of. The problem is that Harry is no longer a royal. By renouncing his royal status and actively criticizing the institution of the monarchy, he has distanced himself from the love and support he once enjoyed.
In pursuing an independent existence, Prince Harry has willingly relinquished the privileges that come with being a royal. One such privilege is the luxury of not having to exert much effort to earn a living or concern oneself with impressing a boss, delivering value as an employee, or producing content. Unfortunately, Harry is now experiencing the harsh realities of the real world. If you accept someone's money, you must deliver something in return. Failing to do so can result in severe consequences. This is precisely why Spotify has terminated their association with Megan and Harry, and it is rumored that Netflix will follow suit.
Megan and Harry made the mistake of assuming they could have it all. They believed corporations would treat them with deference and pay them handsomely for their mere presence. However, they were sorely mistaken. What notable life achievements does Harry possess that would elevate him to a level where world leaders and chief executives would willingly engage in conversations about their personal traumas? If his research indicates that these individuals have experienced trauma in their lives, the lesson to be learned is how they managed to process and overcome it, not necessarily to dwell on it. They have built successful families and lives in spite of their hardships.
The truth is, Megan and Harry are unprepared to put in the real work. Unlike the Sovereign Grant they received as royals, Spotify and Netflix won't continue paying them the same amounts regardless of their performance. This is the reality of civilian life.
One must work diligently to earn their money. While being a royal may not be devoid of its challenges, it also offers a set of unique privileges. Harry never had to worry about mortgage payments or his children's school fees. In the real world, success is contingent upon talent, hard work, and intelligence—qualities that Prince Harry seems to lack in all three areas.
Unfortunately, Harry seems stuck in the past and unable to move forward. He must address his own personal issues before seeking to interview people who have endured trauma. Perhaps he should venture into the real world and offer assistance to those in need, providing them with the necessary resources to overcome their obstacles.
However, it appears that Harry has never truly experienced the real world. He has always possessed an inflated ego, believing himself to be of great importance. And since joining forces with Megan, this delusion has only grown worse.
Harry has been shielded, pampered, and supported throughout his entire life. No one ever told him "no," and no one has ever truly been honest with him about his immature and nonsensical behavior. Now, he insists on playing the victim, believing that he has suffered more than anyone else. Has he truly learned nothing?
Does he genuinely believe he is the sole person to have lost a parent or experienced childhood trauma? There is a significant distinction between processing trauma and wallowing in it, and it appears that Harry is fixated on the latter. He cannot claim to be moving on while incessantly discussing his pain.
Megan, too, has not been helpful to Harry. She chose to sever ties with her father, who raised her. She did not discourage Harry from writing his whiny and dreadful memoir, as the allure of money seemed to outweigh all other considerations.
Megan seems to believe that her status as a former actress and a princess automatically grants her opinions unwavering significance. Yet, there are countless individuals worldwide with extensive knowledge and expertise in areas such as climate change, women's studies, racism, and history. Megan's inflated self-opinion lacks substance and is immensely frustrating, much like Harry's.
In truth, Harry has never displayed any real talent or inclination toward anything beyond being a prince. Even as a royal, he relied heavily on the PR machine of his family to prop him up.
