To be fair, William also had some not so flattering pictures and stories as well.
This is true. And, in reality, anyone’s life who is put under a microscope will have unflattering stories told about them. Some are just worse than others.

We can postulate till the cows come home of what's really going on with Harry but we're never going to actually know unless he goes public and tells us. Maybe in the docuseries on mental health he's doing with Oprah? Like every other human being on this planet, mental issues are part of life's experiences and Harry's no exception. Makes me so grateful that the ones I've gone through over the years didn't have to be played out in the public domain. ?
I wonder how young Harry was when he ended naked in front of his father's guests. Was he three, thirteen or twenty three? Perhaps he'd run away from one of the nannies and ended up downstairs in the KP dining room?
I can emphasize with Harry, he scared of loosing his new family and he is panicking because he does not enough income to support their lifestyle.
Maybe he can downsize his way of living then.....I can emphasize with Harry, he scared of loosing his new family and he is panicking because he does not enough income to support their lifestyle.

Hadn’t Charles stopped giving them money before they bought that house? Surely they could have found something safe to their liking for less money - say 7 million.Presumably he can't. the only reason I can think of that he'd lose his family would be if Meg was likely to say that she wouldn't live in a smaller house etc etc.. and surely she is not so mercenary?
Why would he lose his family?

And surely it’s up to the couple as to what size house they buy and what they paid for it. It’s nobody’s money but their own, and IMO it’s no business of anybody else’s what they do with their income.
I agree - it would be no-one's business if Harry hadn't whinged and moaned about Prince Charles not supporting him, and how he's only able to cope because of the money he inherited from Diana, as if everyone is supposed to feel sorry for him that he's having to survive on a multi-million pound inheritance that earns more in interest every year than most people earn from doing a full time job. But, yes, if need be, I'm sure they could manage with a house that doesn't have 14 bathrooms or whatever this one's supposed to have! Frogmore Cottage isn't big.
Harry has lived in small houses before, Nott Cott and Frogmore Cottage. So has Meghan. She lived in a small house in Canada and also in LA with her first husband before and during their marriage.
And we don’t know that he won’t have the income to maintain the lifestyle for his family. Presumably Netflix and Spotify executives were smart enough to see the potential in he and Meg or they wouldn’t have signed them up in the first place.
There’s no evidence that Harry isn’t happily married, or that he will lose his family due to financial or other pressures. God knows, they’ve survived a tremendous amount of pressures of all kinds since their wedding.

This pandemic has put the brakes on life for just about all of us and I'm sure Harry and Meghan have come up against some brick walls too as far as getting their professional lives in gear.
I kind of think their situation right now is voiced nicely by Nietzsche when he said "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ".

I agree. Seems like a lot of wishful thinking and projecting to me regarding the Sussexes and their marriage,
So, as the pandemic HAS caused massive financial problems for millions of people, you might think that a couple who are starting out in a new life would be cautious. It was obvious by last spring and summer that the pandemic would mean that businesses were going bust, that there was less work, that money would be short for most people So why take on a massive luxurious house.. when you can't be sure how you are going to pay for it?

he was in his teens...as far as I know. And you may remember that he got naked in front of a lot of people in Las Vegas..

As neither the US or UK taxpayers are up for the mortgage payments, nor are any members of Harry’s family, it’s Harry and Meghan’s money and how they are going to pay for it is surely up to them.
Agreed - and at the same time, it is up to Charles how he wants to spend his money. If Harry can criticize Charles for not spending money the way Harry wants Charles to, other people can criticize Harry for the way Harry spends money.
I personally don't like it when very wealthy people living in luxury preach that we all have to sacrifice to save the planet and share our resources with those less fortunate. I work for a charitable NGO so I agree with the sentiment, but I'd like to see a a lot more sharing from the one-percenters - which also includes the royal family.

well regardless, its a free country, and people can comment on anyone they like and how they spend their money. If Harry and Meg are public figures and very rich, they are going to be the targets of comments from ordinary people. And the more they preach to us ordinary folk, the more likely they are to get caustic comments. Esp when Harry seems to have made it pretty clear that he believed (until disabused of the idea) that the tax payers of the UK or Canada would pay his security and if they didn't then his father would do so.
Yes he was very clear on Oprah that he expected the British taxpayers to still cover his security once he left the family.
Yup. I haven’t said this before because it just occurred to me, but not only did Harry rip his father for cutting him off, he said said he was living on his mother’s inheritance. He knew exactly what he was doing when he did this, as so many already saw Charles as the villain and Diana as the saint. Oh, and not incidentally, he could have bought a less expensive “house”, but instead he chose to try and keep up with the Jones’ and blame his father...
In fact most of Diana's fortune caeme from her large divorce settlement.. which came from Charles and the queen....
