When William and Catherine decided to pursue the Closer suit over the nude pix did any other member of the RF issue a public statement?
When Charles sued over publication of his letters did anyone else issue a statement in support?
I don’t recall any statements in support in similar situations, and more importantly, I don’t recall any hand wringing over their absence.
To me this is just a press gambit trying to stir up more controversy ala ‘see, the important royals agree w/ us.’
When a suit has been filed most lawyers tell their clients to zip it, thus I distinguish William’s support of Harry’s statement regarding dating Meghan as no lawsuit was involved.
The reference to privately funding the suit was most likely to derail claims they were misusing taxpayers’ money.
Harry did actually speak up for Kate during his first pregnancy. During one of his Afghanistan interviews he said he hoped and wished the press would give her the space and privacy she deserves to enjoy her pregnancy and baby.
There was another instance as well but I am forgetting the details.
I think that is right. Habitually stepping outside "the rules" is not going to be looked upon favourably by the "Bosses" ad infinitum. Then again, none of us really know what is actually going on, and to that extent, this is speculation.
I am very curious about what rules people feel Harry and Meghan have "habitually" stepped out of it?
All this hand wringing about them not doing whatever it is they are not doing. It just reminds me of how some, in 2013, felt similar about William and Kate.
It just goes back to my point. Harry and Meghan get pillared, even more than the baseline level we should expect that happens to all royals, for things that other members of the family have also done or been said to do.
If the family isn't behind Harry and Meghan, I feel that is more damning on the family then it is on Harry and Meghan. And it wouldn't shock me if that blows back on the family in the long run.
