@user-qf4lt3tg6k Ungrateful? Harry never CHOSE to be born into a dynasty with a lifetime of expectations, nor did he choose as a young child to have to publicly follow the corpse of his dead mother simply to sate the public's desire for a public display of grief by the whole family. Frankly, until very recently, I thought that Harry was the most in touch, the most relatable, and the best member of the Royal anachronism. His imperfections were precisely what I liked about him.

@mrsw5623 Age has EVERYTHING to do with it. Children have different levels of dependency and connection to parents at different ages. William was at the age where he was more likely bonding more strongly with his father, whereas Harry, already a quieter child was still young enough to be at the emotionally bonded stage with his mother. Moreover, devastating though it was for them both, William almost certainly had better coping tools at his age.

@olao9893 Exactly, younger, already shyer and lest sure of himself. I felt appalled and so sorry seeing him follow that procession.

@Cherokee-q4b " William always had his head down he was extremely shy," I certainly thought that prior to Diana's death. And as an adult Harry has certainly been very forthright.

@mrsw5623 Judging by your opinions in this thread, the loss of your child has frozen your heart stone cold. Absolutely ZERO empathy. Bitterness is a terrible thing. You have NO IDEA what resources they had available. They lived in a family that forced a grieving child to walk down the street behind her coffin FFS!

@pheatornjiru4486 " He lost a mother too" So what? If I kick you and your brother in the face, can I throw his reaction back at you if you react badly?

@user-qf4lt3tg6k "He was born in a life of privilege" If it's such a privilege, why does he want to leave it?

It was utterly scummy of Megan not to name names. I do believe that one or two members of the royal family may be racist, just like every family in Britain, but she threw crap over them all. She sacrificed ALL of their reputations to supposedly protect one person's reputation. Stupid move. After the disastrous Andrew interview, you'd think they'd have the sense not to do live televised interviews. An American dragging Britain down to their level yet again. That said, who the hell is this "Angela" to be saying William will never forgive?! She sounds more like a a royal shit-stirrer.

@kanyebreast6072 You have PRECISELY as much evidence for your theory as I do for mine - probably less as you have less experience of kids than I do. You may be right, but you may be wrong so get your hands off your hips and stop acting like an indignant school maam.

@kanyebreast6072 You were theorising that William took it worse because he felt the burden fell on him. You have no way of knowing that. Just a theory. And you're what, 35? I've been teaching kids longer than you've been alive love. Seen probably tens of thousands of them. But sure, your three, plus a few hundred at their worst in hospital wins. :-/

@kanyebreast6072 I will say this though - we clearly both care about children's wellbeing. If you're a nurse, you have my special appreciation at the moment. Best of luck getting paid what you're worth. I'll leave it there.

@appscammers7316 She wasn't still with Charles, but even if she was, are you seriously stupid enough to suggest that death is the appropriate conseqence for cheating? I pity your partner.

@kanyebreast6072 Let's leave things on that cordial note then. You keep on saving lives Kelly.
