In his Netflix series—let's call it his latest character assassination platform—Harry has stooped to what royal sources are calling "the lowest of the low."
Remember when Harry was the cheeky, lovable prince who seemed to genuinely adore his sister-in-law? Those beautiful moments at royal engagements where Harry, William, and Catherine were inseparable, laughing together, supporting each other’s initiatives, presenting a united front—it made us believe in the future of the monarchy. Those weren't just photo ops; they were real moments of family bonding that made the royal family feel relatable and beloved.
But here we are in 2024, watching Harry stoop to a new low by implying that some Royals—let's be clear, this is a dig at Catherine—are chosen simply because they “fit the mold.” The audacity, the sheer disrespect! This isn't just insulting; it's unfair.
Is Harry talking about the Catherine who came from a middle-class family, who worked in her family’s party-planning business, and who spent nearly a decade dating William before marriage? The Catherine who has modernized how the royal family addresses early childhood education and mental health? If this is what Harry means by “fitting the mold,” he is sorely mistaken.
What really grates on me is the calculated timing of these attacks. While Catherine tirelessly champions her groundbreaking *Shaping Us* campaign, visiting hospitals, supporting mental health initiatives, and raising three children—who are the future of the monarchy—Harry sits in his Montecito mansion, taking snide shots at her character and place in the family.
I was there, reporting outside St. Andrews University when William and Catherine's love story began. I watched as this young woman gracefully handled intense media scrutiny during their brief separation in 2007. She showed us who she truly was: someone who valued privacy, dignity, and respect—never once resorting to media antics to make her point. Is this what Harry means by “fitting the mold”?
Catherine’s role isn't about fitting a mold. It’s about a woman who understood the magnitude of her role and committed herself to it. She didn't rush in, expecting the institution to change for her. Instead, she took time to understand the balance between tradition and modernization.
And the hypocrisy! Here’s Harry, who speaks against bullying and preaches mental health and kindness, yet he’s comfortable taking cheap shots from across the Atlantic. This same sister-in-law extended her hand in friendship to his wife and went out of her way to welcome her into the family.
The love between William and Catherine has stood the test of time because it wasn’t about “fitting a mold.” They met at university, became friends first, and built a relationship based on genuine love, respect, and shared values. Catherine didn’t just waltz into the royal family demanding attention. She took the time to understand the institution and the significant role it plays in British society.
Since becoming Princess of Wales, Catherine has launched initiatives that focus on early childhood development, modernized royal parenting, and even broke traditions when necessary. Her five big questions survey was the largest of its kind in UK history, showing she’s not about fitting a mold but about making a meaningful difference.
People close to the palace speak of Catherine’s legendary work ethic and her genuine interest in her charitable causes. She’s visiting hospices, supporting mental health initiatives, and championing causes that don’t always make headlines but make a real difference.

Let’s talk about the impact of Harry’s words on William. Can you imagine watching your own brother, someone you’ve protected and supported through tragedy, attack your wife? Sources describe William’s reaction to these comments as one of deep hurt and disappointment. Yet, both William and Catherine maintain their dignity and focus on their work, rather than getting dragged into public spats.
And here’s the real irony: while Harry claims to reject the “mold,” he fits a new one all too well—the disgruntled ex-royal seeking media attention. It would be laughable if it weren’t so sad.
Years from now, history won’t remember these petty attacks, but it will remember Catherine’s grace, her dedication to duty, and her ability to rise above criticism. Catherine’s success isn’t about making noise; it’s about service and putting the institution and nation above personal desires.
The British public sees her authenticity and strength. Her work on early childhood development is a legacy that will benefit generations. And while others choose Netflix deals, Catherine chooses dignity, duty, and service.
As we wrap up, let me say this: true royalty isn’t about titles or privilege; it’s about service, dignity, and putting others first. Catherine embodies these qualities not because she “fits a mold” but because they’re part of who she is. That’s why, while some throw stones from their California mansion, Catherine continues to exemplify true royal behavior.
