Yeah. All my three of them - Charles, William & Harry - were raised in a very unusual situation. For the first few years, Charles had it OK, then his grandfather died and his mother became Queen. That was her purpose before anything else. He was raised by nannies as his mother was whisked away to go on 6 month royal tours. His dad put him up in a school that was an abuse factory - mainly because it was his school, and he loved it, but for sensitive Charles, it was to toughen him up.

Add that onto the aura he had around him that he was going to one day be king. Very few people are going to treat you like a normal person. Which leads me to his first wife

and the mother of his children, Diana. Despite what 'The Crown' says, Charles and Camilla were a fling. Camilla loved her first husband and wanted to be his wife above wanting to be with Charles. Charles knew he needed to marry not for love, but for duty. Yes, she needed to be (or be perceived as) a virgin, but whoever she was, she had to be someone who would make a good Queen one day. So enter this sweet but awkward Bambi like figure that was 20 year old Diana. They liked each other, maybe even loved each other at some point, but the match was first and foremost one of duty.

By this point, Charles is already a bit off - he has been since the 50s. Diana's a modern young woman who's been locked into an ornate box, basically. She had similar trauma to Charles - absent parents, raised by nannies, terrible boarding school experiences - so she wanted to raise her children as normally as she could. She wanted to be present and, let's be frank, be the loving parent her and her husband were denied.

Then she died.

Charles now has to raise his boys alone and prepare himself - and his eldest to be the future Kings of England (at the very least, we don't know how much of the British empire is going to be around when William ascends.) And William's a healthy guy who courts tradition well but is modern in all the right ways for the 'one after the next' monarch.

So, Harry, who isn't very bright, has never - truely - been the centre of attention, gets bored. He parties for a bit, joins the army, becomes an uncle as his life's purpose - to be there just in case something bad happens to his brother - gets smaller and smaller as his brother fathers 3 healthy kids. He wanders around a bit and tries to model himself in his mother's grace - to be as good as she was to her people, to bring a little more sunshine into the world by bringing awareness to those in need. Then he falls in love. Like, actual love. He choses Meghan first and foremost for himself. Sure, she's beauty, grace and (should've been) great for PR for a dying institution, but most importantly - she's Harry's perfect match.

And he chooses her over the firm. Over being third, fourth, no sixth in line. Over being emotionally neglected and told you're not as important as Botswana. The big misconception is that Meghan's driven Harry away from the family, when really, Meghan's provided Harry with the way out he's been looking for a very long time.

Prince Harry is basically 1990's Prince Andrew right now - there just in case, but not needed right now so he's doing his own thing. And honestly, if he was to sun himself in California with his beautiful wife and kids, why shouldn't he? Maybe not on the UK tax payers' cent, but he's not hurting anyone, really?
