I'm not so sure he has dropped a bollockI just googled this and you are correct - at no point did they say they want privacy!! It is clear they wanted out of the spotlight though and, for obvious reasons, Harry has issues with press intrusion. A mad situation really. I do think think he has dropped a massive bollock by going in so hard with what seem quite fanciful allegations at his family though. I mean, a fight with his brother ffs.
If you break it all down.
You are referred to as a spare. I mean what person wants to hear that?
You spend your upbringing with rumours about who your biological father is.
Your mother might have been murdered.
You join the forces and probably have some form of PTSD.
Then you find the woman you love and want to raise a family with. The racist press tear into her, probably fed stories from his family and staff. plus one of the breakfasts news channel's going in on his new wife everyday.
He appears to get no support from his family, even going as far to say that they turned on him.
Your own brother assaults you.
All to the point where you give up the family jewels and royal titles to get away from it all.
Maybe a lot more as well I am missing out on.
Now, when you look at all that, and the fact it is still going on, You are going to be angry.
I don't blame him for lashing out and telling his side.
They need to make some money, because let's face it, security and a secure home and environment is not cheap. For a person of his status.
I don't blame him in the least.
The royal family could have set them up financially one way or another. Then Mon of this would have been heard of. They haven't,.so food needs to be put on the table. The fact he is now telling his side and brining his family to account is just tough. If they have treated Harry and his wife this badly, then he has everyright to have a dig back.
