Just like the infamous Brexit, we weren’t given the full terms of the deal, we weren’t assured of the implications and the outcome. We no longer have access to Prince Harry and what’s worse the entire UK and Royal Family combined cannot hold our attention for more than 24 hours.

There has been a plethora of comments about what Harry is supposed to be doing. It appears some people have collectively lost their minds and memories. Prince Harry asked to serve the Queen but wanted some independence from the Royal Purse and Royal Rota.

We held whole summit in Sandringham was held and it was decided to let him go. I use the collective word “we” because “we” consider the Monarchy as a family. When you let a member of your family go it’s because you decided that their wishes were impossible to be met.

Prince Harry was very clear about what he was going to do. He said he would continue to serve and that he would be using independent and grassroot media? Why are we suddenly surprised? Who drummed it into our heads that he would “disappear”?

A whole Prince of England, Someone actually thought Prince Harry would be living outside England and he wouldn’t get deals? He wouldn’t be popular and successful outside the Royal Family? I could have told anyone that for free. It would have been better to agree to his plan.

It is not Prince Harry from the outside looking in. Oh no. It is the UK media and Royal Family looking OUT. We can no longer dictate what Prince Harry can or cannot do, how much money he has or how many bathrooms are in his mansion. We are now bystanders waiting for his every move

Royal reporting has become a joke.They don’t care about the Royal Family, their work, charities or engagements. They care about the Sussexes.

Royal reporting has become a joke. Clearly before the Sussexes there wasn’t much to do, except report on the hats and coats the Royals wore to events. When Meghan Markle stepped into the scene, it was article after article after article about utter bullshit.

They don’t care about the Royal Family, their work, charities or engagements. The UK Royals have announced a series of “big projects” which the press barely spent time on yet one whiff of anything the Sussexes are doing it’s analysis after analysis for weeks on end.

They care about the Sussexes. Even when nothing is happening, the press will create a story to keep the gossip going, it is guaranteed to get attention, attention means money. Going back to the old days on reporting on the Meghan sister in law wardrobe is not an option.

Instead we must hear about the “15 bathrooms”, “20 million dollar Netflix deal”, “30 million dollar book deal”, “the 17 lies told at the interview”. This is where the money resides. This is what their readers want to hear. Who cares about climate change, Earth shot, Early years?

Certainly not the “royal audience”. There in lies the dilemma because when you put a magnifying glass on the comments from this audience I am certain the palace are worried. These are not the kind of “friends” you want on your team. They are not the future.

Many with common sense move away from the kind of distasteful commentary in the British tabloid media- they are attracted to charity, justice, equality and impactful work. This daily obsession of fantasising on the Sussexes is no longer trendy. It’s old, it’s boring, it’s done.

If you look at prince Harry’s recent life closely perhaps last two years, you will notice that he has been more aware and alert. He is not killing time but trying to accomplish and take over mountains. He is initiating himself to become the person he himself want to be but not what his critics want him to be.

What does being a real man entail? How many men like the idea of being a man?

We can agree that being a real man is more than just wearing a pants.

Prince Harry ‘critics’ thinks they know what being a man entails and how the Duke of Sussex should behave in order to be a real man but often they are mistaken. Being a man is not being a chauvinist who runs down women, children or little cats with no say in the house.

A real man is aware that he is wired to fight battle, rescue a beauty (Meghan Markle) and live an adventure. In this case if you ask me ,that is precisely what our good king Harry is doing.

Moving out of UK was a process for Prince Harry to learn and accomplish certain things that he could not while still there.

Initiation to manhood involves series of test. In case of Harry,choosing between the firm and his family was a test ,and to be honest he passed. Real men learn to feel the would. Being slammed for leaving the monarchy and his “poor family” is a would which he admitted hurt and was not shameful to admit.

He understands that acting like a hero in a movie who even after being wounded keeps on charging at the enemy won’t lead to a good direction. Prince Harry understand that would can come from words spoken by a person of authority and can be accepted as the reality. As a result,the wounded man can try to prove that he is a man by indulging in destructive behavior or activities which is what his ‘critics’ want from him .

By writing this memoir prince Harry is removing false identity. When his mother died he built walls and defense mechanism to putt off further pain but by writing this book and talking more often of his pain, truth is he is shedding these shields,walls and barriers and this has to be a way of his healing. This does not sit well with his ‘critics’ and that why they lable him as not being a real man.

But doe his ‘critics’ really understand what being a real man entails?
