But I thought it would be fair



Stories spun from a recent TV documentary about the Harry and Meghan show leave one with a curious sense of how old-fashioned it all is.

Meghan: Friends told me not to marry Harry because of tabloid press

The duchess says she never thought being part of the Royal Family would be "easy but I thought it would be fair".

Repeated bleating about media intrusion in order to generate more media intrusion. Too familiar to be interesting - a pre-digital game only older royal enthusiasts are ever likely to play unless something really juicy turns up like a divorce. Even then - who cares?

Prince Harry, answering a question about rumours of a rift between himself and the Duke of Cambridge, said he and his brother are "on different paths" and have "good days" and "bad days".

No doubt they are on different paths, but Harry and Meghan's path probably wasn't chosen by Harry. They seem to be on the woke celebrity high profile path but that's is merely the path many celebrities follow. Does anyone really care if Harry and Meghan do the same? Presumably Meghan thinks so but Harry should have known better. 

That he doesn't know any better is mildly interesting but his lack of judgement isn't supposed to be the real story. Unfortunately it is.
