I bet that for years to come Sussexes will be a constant pebble in the shoes of the Royal Family.

Hardly a day passes when in the media there is no mention of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan. Recently, Jeremy Clarkson, a columnist and TV presenter, published his views in a newspaper about Meghan which could not be put in the worst words. This was condemned on social media by more than 20,000 people.

In this short post, I wish to reveal the other side of the coin.

It was in March 2020 when Prince Harry after consultation with his wife issued the statement that the couple would be leaving the country to relocate to the United States. They were well-received there and given proper media coverage. It appeared that they were pleased with their move.

I give my example of relocation. It was many years ago when I quitted the country which was my permanent abode. I migrated to the UK with my wife and both the children and got British passports. Thenceforth, we made our life in the UK. I visited my country of origin a few times since, but with the passage of time it trickled to one visit for a week or so in several years. For all intents and purposes, the UK is my country. Under no circumstances, I will consider competent to comment or participate in any political or social debates relating to the country of my origin. I must have feelings about my previous country, but I would keep them to my chest. My close relatives are there, but I have no locus standi as to how the things are done there. I came to the UK volitionally. No one coerced me to leave the country. Once I left that part of the world, I shun throwing dirt on any of the institutions or persons of that country, let alone on my family members. I must bend every sinew to the task of making my adopted great country greater. 

One wonders why Harry and his wife keep toing and froing between the US and the UK.   Jeremy Clarkson took swipe at them by publishing his comments. His views, albeit in milder form, are shared by millions of people in this country. If 20,000 or more people condemned the views published by him in the Sun that does not mean that the couple have the carte blanche to indulge in head-on confrontation with the Royal Family.

As far as I am concerned, I care not one whit about their frothy interviews or even if they write several toxic books. I read the newspapers and if both or one of them is mentioned in it, I would turn the page. I ignore even to look at their pictures, let alone read their otiose views. One example of Harry’s story disclosed by him is that his older brother had screamed at him. The whinge could not be more meaningless trivia.

As I stated hereinabove, I avoid seeing them on TV, but if I happen to watch them, the Meghan holds Harry’s left hand with her right hand (sometimes with her both hands). It looks that he is a mutt and might get lost en route to a place.

Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that they would dig in their heels confronting the Royal Family for years to come. They would be a constant pebble in their shows. The Royal Family are right to pay no attention to them. The vast majority of the public have not got any good opinion about them. The tiny minority will always remain to support them. If survey is done and question is asked: Is Putin a dictator or a democrat? You will find many nuts who would say yes, he is a democrat.

Finally, I candidly suggest to the odd couple that they should spend more time with their children rather than faffing around. The innocent children in this drama are tucked up under the care of nannies.
