Here at the Tribune Editorial Board, we all have a number of years on Prince Harry. And it is with the perspective of age, and the greater knowledge of life’s fragility that it affords, that we suggest he call a halt to his public attacks on a family he knows is unable to respond in kind.
In all our collective experience, we have never known anyone who publicly attacked a loved one while in their 30s to still think that was their finest hour many years later. But we know plenty who rue that day.
That princely myopia is at the core of our objection to the interminable media blitz surrounding “Spare,” the sensational new memoir that hits the bookshelves Tuesday on both sides of the Atlantic.
