I just can't see him leaving the comparatively more controlled media coverage of the Royals and thriving and revelling in the mess of the shallow celeb media circus.

Of Course Not

...I was just thinking back to when Harry was born and the images of Diana holding him...the frenzy of media flashes to get images of the new royal baby...and thinking of the sadness of the images when he lost his mother.....his whole life has been played out with that frenzy of media flashes and it’s easy to see how damaging that has been for him...it doesn’t matter how many Royals before him have also had that intrusion and have continued with it in their lives...for Harry it’s something that he’s always found difficult..it would be impossible to imagine the loss of someone who is your world under such media and public glare...and that type of intrusion is not something that either he or Meghan would ever want for Archie...being part of ‘the firm’ carries a very high price that no everyone is able to give...but nothing of the unhappiness that the media have contributed to his life from the moment he was born and they ‘owned him’...is still acknowledged ...after the ...‘it’s all Meghan’s fault...’...articles...they evolved to..’..give us our money back and oh, you can leave your titles on the coat rack on the way out..don’t let the door hit you, etc...’...it’s just made it so easy to see why those two young people needed this so much for themselves and for Archie...I don’t know how much the media will leave them alone, once it’s all settled, which will take a bit of time...but after Diana, it feels that nothing has been learned at all......

I think the situation with Meghan and Harry is much more complicated than is being portrayed by either side of the argument. With Diana, there was no doubt, she was constantly hounded by the press, even after she divorced Charles. Bear in mind that was before social media was a thing, if that had existed then it would have been genuine crazy town.

Meghan and Harry have really had little press intrusion compared to Diana, but they are much more sensitive to it, and for obvious reasons and people are attaching their own agenda's to the couple too, which really doesn't help.

If they can get some privacy now and be able to lead their lives on their own terms then it can only be a good thing. None of us would expect anything less for ourselves and our own family.

Diana never helped herself, from having her lover in the boot of a car to dating a Muslim, dinning at the ritz.

If Diana had her seat belt on that night she would of only had a scratch.

Meghan has only had the press wanting pictures of her since she started dating Harry.

Harry was all smiles and happy while doing his royal duties so the fact that he was so unhappy in his royal life is untrue.

The sh1t hit the fan when meg came on the scene.

Yes if he'd actually been unhappy, he would have looked miserable at events and for official photographs of course. Sad people ALWAYS look sad and physically cannot smile.

Some of the smiliest, bubbliest people you'll ever meet have the darkest **** going on under the surface, sheriff. I'd have thought you were old enough to know that? And even if not there have been UBUNDANT signs that Harry wasn't 100% gelling with the "Royal lifestyle".

First person to validate his feelings and point out that he doesn't actually have to do it?
I know the general response to that sentiment seems to be " YES HE DOES waaah" but... no, he doesn't.

Completely agree. How many people commit suicide and people had no idea of the turmoil they are going through as they put on a facade.

I hope Harry and Meghan can be happy in their family life....they will never escape the glare of the media, I hope it doesn't end up destroying them.

My takeaway from negative comments about them is that people dont care about them being happy, they are just pissed off they dared to escape their cage.
