I don't fault children for the misdeeds of parents. But to him who is given much, much is expected. And in that I concur with Denise: Harry is indistinguishable from the rest of British royalty in terms of his contributions to the betterment of humanity. Whether their impact on tourism and the economy justifies the riches heaped on them by taxpayers is for economists to sort out.

They are nothing if not a contradiction - an anachronism that continues to defy the egalitarian instincts of modern society. At worst, the embodiment of a condescending, indifferent if not arrogant culture of privilege. If the one-percent were a hive, royalty would be their queen. At best, as much victims of that entrenched culture as the great unwashed who crane their necks for a glimpse. Birds in a gilded cage lacking the sense to leave when the door is left open. 

Not an environment in which free-spirited Diana could - or would be allowed to - survive. Hence Harry's anger and the empathy perhaps due.
