Harry and Meghan should cease turning ache right into a model – their victimhood is barely distinctive because it’s surrounded by luxurious, wealth, privilege and countless alternative.
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle advised Oprah Winfrey of their strife and pressures as a younger royal couple, I feel the overwhelming majority of us all had sympathy. However I by no means imagined that 5 years later they might nonetheless be taking part in the sufferer card – not to mention virtually reworking it right into a business enterprise.
In that March 2021 US interview, which marked the primary broadside from the Sussexes since Megxit, Meghan spoke of getting darkish ideas – a topic to not be taken frivolously. They claimed to be the sufferer of racism by an unnamed royal (later tweaked to ‘unconscious bias’ after a public backlash), whereas Harry stated he felt let down by his father King Charles.
Then got here the 2022 six-episode ‘Harry and Meghan’ Netflix sequence, the place they bemoaned being ‘beneath siege’ from the media – ironic, as I felt surrounded on all sides by their relentless PR and TV appearances.

Once more Meghan spoke concerning the emotional toll she was all the time beneath, framing Megxit as a vital “freedom flight” to flee a poisonous surroundings.
Then in 2023 we had Harry’s guide Spare, he twisted his resolution to decorate up in a Nazi fancy gown outfit into one other instance of his victimhood, as he as an alternative blamed it on William and Catherine.
Speaking about donning the deeply offence outfit on Halloween in 2005, Harry claimed he requested his brother and sister-in-law to decide on what he ought to put on and so they each chirped: “Nazi uniform!”
As you do.
Now Harry and Meghan are on a pretend royal tour in Australia and at it once more.
They’re both ‘cashing in’ on victimhood or positioning themselves for relentless sympathy. Why this fixed waterfall of self-woe?
Harry advised a $1,000-a-head InterEdge Summit in Melbourne Park viewers that he by no means needed to be a working royal as a result of it “killed” his mom.
That explains why he opted for a quiet registry workplace wedding ceremony in Croydon: to ditch his royal standing and dwell a traditional life?
No wait, foolish me! It was a celebrity-packed state wedding ceremony at Windsor Citadel, that includes Hollywood stars together with the Beckhams, Idris Elba, Sir Elton John, George Clooney, Serena Williams, James Corden and dozens extra.
Would all of them have attended if the occasion had been completely behind closed doorways, and no-one ever knew they had been there?
Unlikely.
So having media consideration, elite-level social circles, wealth, privilege and some castles and titles can sometimes be jolly good enjoyable for the Sussexes!

This week in Oz, Meghan advised Melbourne uni college students she was ‘bullied’ on-line for a decade and have become “essentially the most trolled particular person in the whole world”.
I am not condoning it, but ask any movie star on the earth and they’re going to begrudgingly agree that fame sadly brings envy and mean-spiritedness.
Ask JK Rowling concerning the on-line abuse she receives for her courageous stance in standing up for ladies’s-only areas and ladies’s security, and it is most likely on a complete new degree.
What is unhappy is that when upon a time, Harry and Meghan provided the world a shining real-life fairytale and a brand new royal period of magical, optimistic change.
As a substitute they now spout the identical damaged report of victimhood, paranoia and resentment whereas sitting on their 24-carat, golden thrones.
