Prince Harry can’t help himself

Even a fool with zero media training would know that the best strategy the Duke and Duchess of Montecito could possibly pursue right now would be one of quiet modesty. The British public might even rediscover a little affection for this errant English son were he to stop whingeing and be filmed primarily to promote charitable causes.

But no. This prickly Prince decided once again to vent the supposed injustice he’s suffered in an interview with the BBC. Given his capacity for grievance, I’m surprised he could tolerate sitting down for the former employer of disgraced Martin Bashir. But sit down he did. To tell Auntie that a recent ruling confirming he still wasn’t entitled to taxpayer-funded security on visits to the UK was a “good old-fashioned stitch-up”.

When this muppet has finished doing his best David Brent impression perhaps he could pause and reflect that he’d still have security had he not made the decision as a grown adult to step down as a senior royal.

I can’t believe somebody can be so dense as not to wake up one day, observe that with which he’s dissatisfied and conclude that those frustrations are the consequences of his own actions.

Happily for Harry, he doesn’t have that capability. I envy him.

How liberating it would be to blame quite literally everyone but myself for every irritation that surfaces.

Then I could press ahead, as has he, with righteous fury as I attempted to right wrongs in a court of law.

If the law agreed with me, I’d say: “See! I was right all along!”

If it disagreed, I’d say: “Stitch-up.”

Heads I win; tails you lose.

He also said something weird about still liking “parts of the UK”.

Thanks, prodigal Prince, for deigning to mention that you don’t hate every inch of this country.

We feel truly blessed.

But not as blessed as we do knowing that, ultimately, you’re America’s problem now.
