King Charles would have been smart to reconcile with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The couple would appeal to the younger generation and Meghan Markle would appeal to a diverse Britain and Commonwealth.

Do Harry and Meghan appeal to the younger generation? That's a shame if they do because they're whiny, entitled cunts. I think Prince William and his family would be a better face for the royal family. I think you'll see an uptick in support when it's his turn. I also think he'll modernize the monarchy and make it actually worth something along the lines of how his mother did.

No. Many young people would sympathize with Prince Harry for overcoming the loss of his mother. Unlike Prince William, Prince Harry is a combat veteran. Meghan Markle would be popular with non-white Britains and non-white Commonwealth countries. Prince Harry believes Prince William and his wife became jealous of Meghan Markle's popularity.

That's delusional. That's not happening now. both Harry and Meghan are just whiny yuppies now, who preach climate change and privacy, yet pander to the press and ride in private planes. They're a joke.

To the contrary, according to Prince Harry there is a cozy relationship between the tabloids and the Royal Family. In the link I provided Prince Harry believes that Prince William and his wife used the tabloids to attack Meghan because they were jealous of her rising popularity. Private planes could be necessary for security.

They should've kept their country white. Too bad that they didn't.

Well, Britain's soccer team wouldn't be competitive in the World Cup and its track and field team won't get many medals in the Olympics. During World War II, Maoris were with the New Zealand force as part of the Commonwealth. Gurkhas were part of the British military during World War II. These people cannot be expected to fight for Britain if Britain does not even want them in the country. Rishi Sunak, Britain's present prime minister is non-white.

Perhaps Prince Harry would have been wise not to be a complete and utter asshat who trashes his family publicly for Hollywood whorecash.

No, he simply told the truth. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcDg2fdIVGI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCOojny1-fM

You are missing the point. The family is renowned for remaining somewhat quiet and modest on matters of public scrutiny and is respected for it. Harry spits out every opinion his wife has and it has clearly resulted in loss of respect from millions of people. It is not the millions of people who are wrong, it is Harry. If he has persisting mental health issues and family difficulties, he should deal with it privately, not on display for some 100million dollars from Netflix to get his wife famous like she always wanted, and a cheesy book deal where he talks about rubbing his dead mothers lipbalm on his frost bitten penis. It reads of immature attention seeking and greed.

Prince Harry said there is a difference between how the tabloids treated Meghan compared to Kate. With Meghan there were racist overtones. Prince Harry believes some members of the Royal Family were planting stories in the tabloids to attack Meghan. Prince Harry's overcoming the loss of his mother at a young age is an inspiration to those who suffered the same tragedy. Prince Harry's friend advised him to use the lip balm on his frostbitten penis. Coincidentally, it was the same lip balm his mother used. The smell reminded him of her. It's poignant that he continues to think of her.

Nobody's mother has ever died, no? Cry me a river. Racist overtones my arse, there has never been any indication of tabloids mistreating Meghan, let alone being racist. You can't just say people are racist every time you don't get your way or don't like something in particular.

He's a perfect representative of the huge herd of weak and cowardly sheep the British have turned into.

Prince Harry is a combat veteran. He was an infantryman and Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. I wouldn't call him a coward.
