Webdesk: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seek to simplify their business and royal issues.
Royal expert Daniela Elser wrote for News.com.au that the Sussexes “still cannot accept their culpability for their own lives.”
Columnist Alison Boshoff wrote that the Sussexes have been blaming “repeated bad luck” for their corporate relationships.
Elser agreed with Boshoff that the Sussexes are not “assuming that uncomfortable thing, accountability. Ironically, one of the very things they keep demanding of the royal family.”
She continued, “When will they actually metabolise and accept the fact they are not wholly blameless in the various messes that seem to follow them?”
Elser noted the Palace would have been concerned about Harry’s memoir and Netflix docuseries’ “breach of privacy,”. It cited the royal rupture caused by Spare.
“Someone complaining about having their privacy breached – and then writing a tell-all about his family that traduces their privacy. As well as putting out a six-hour TV series which includes photos taken inside royal properties” Elser said.
Elser asked, “How can they, two expensively-educated adults, still reportedly see the world through such a binary light with no space for nuance or complexity or grey areas? How can they view their position so simplistically and childishly?”
“The twist here is that Harry and Meghan, in relentlessly casting themselves as martyrs, have actually only ultimately hurt themselves,” said the royal expert.
She believed “they had admitted to some mistakes” would have made them “much more compelling, trustworthy narrators.”
