OPINION - Prince Harry, it was not the press that caused the rift with your family, it was you

There is out of touch with reality and there is Prince Harry’s concept of reality. One is excusable in privileged people like royalty, the other entails a disassociation from the real world which is just annoying.

I give you this week’s treat, namely, Prince Harry’s interview with Rebecca Barry in the ITV documentary, Tabloids on Trial. In it he intimates that his courageous “mission” against the tabloid press “caused … part of a rift” with the royal family. Asked if his fight had destroyed the relationship with his family, he said, “Yeah, that’s certainly a central piece to it … but you know, that’s a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press.”
