My takeaways from this episode in the life of Prince Harry:
1. Granted that Meghan might not have wanted to be in court because she wouldn't have wanted (certainly) to take attention away from this important occasion, why isn't she in a hotel room in London, waiting to wrap her arms around him as he staggers back? They've had no compunction about leaving their children before, why wouldn't she have gone? It's strange to me. Zoom calls can't comfort a man who's just been clobbered on the stand.
2. If the main reason that Chelsy left Harry was because of illegal intrusion, with the implication being that it was a major watershed in her life, one that she hasn't been able to move on from . . . why hasn't she publicly backed his claim? Were she to have added her voice to all of his mentions of her, this would have been powerful because, after all, it was her privacy that was invaded as well. Chelsy gave an interview to the Tatler in 2020. The author, Sacha Forbes mentions that prior to that interview Chelsy had admitted at another time that she found press intrusion in her relationship with Harry "scary and uncomfortable." But that's in the past, the rest of the article talks about how Chelsy has gone on to different pursuits and was, at the time of writing, bouncy and happy. And, Forbes says, wisely reticent about Harry's then-current life: "But when I ask what she thinks about the intense level of scrutiny that the couple have been under, she pauses and tells me firmly: ‘I would really rather not say anything about Harry and Meghan.’" Would that Harry had respected Chelsy in return!
I wouldn't be surprised if Harry wins his case because, as many journalists have pointed out, the bar in civil cases is notoriously low for "hard evidence". The newly coined (by Harry and his team) term "hard evidence of suspiciousness" might just sway the judge. I hope not.
Harry previously led a sheltered life, protected by his royal family. I think he’s probably in shock by what’s going on for him. He and Meghan have been relentless in their negativity. It’s time to reevaluate and do some quiet introspection.
Well said. Harry needs therapy, real supportive therapy, and he need to get far away from the internet, emails, texting, and most of all social media. He needs to go back to landlines and letter writing. Go on walks, read books, do puzzles, and slowly restore his relationship with those that actually do love him, his family.
The best lines in an altogether excellent analysis: "This is the life Harry has chosen? He walked away from his Royal platform to live in chaos and courtrooms?"
How can anyone persist with this unrelenting and self-created turmoil? What does that do to your family life, your relationships, your well-being?
I could almost feel sympathy for Harry except that his true purpose is entirely clear and base: what he really wants is to control all negative press coverage of himself and Meghan. In other words, censorship.

Well written, and I agree with it 100%.

I don't know how UK courts work, but it seems to me that in the US system, his attorneys would risk being sanctioned for bringing a frivolous lawsuit.
