No.Nonsense.

I Googled metaphors for “entitled pomposity” and my favorite was “marching in a parade of one”. I like that because it means that you make everything all about you. As I watch the coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s faux royal tour in Australia, I see that statement in every move they have made.

A lot of women like me were enchanted when we saw Meghan, a biracial American actress, walk down the aisle to literally become a princess. We rooted for her to bring a bit of modernizing to the British royal family even while respecting the tradition of the pomp and circumstance. We played with tiaras. She wore a real one.

Even the British tabloids were cheering her on.

And then we began to hear about her bullying of staff. We heard about her machinations to bag a prince even before she met Harry. We learned of her comments at a charity engagement that she couldn’t believe she wasn’t getting paid. We heard about her estranged relationship with her own family. We saw the division of the Fab Four when William and Catherine split off their charity initiatives. We saw what had been a beautiful relationship between Harry and William and Catherine become more and more strained. We saw Meghan become more and more hostile with the protocol of being a royal. I remember the walkabout when Queen Elizabeth died and Meghan put up that finger and did that hostile head bob as she snapped off at a staffer who was trying to assist with the flowers she was being handed. And she did it in front of the public mourners and the cameras.

Harry and Meghan had taken their privileged backsides and fled to California where they could make their own way. They were told they could not use their titles to enhance their business endeavors. They accused members of the royal family of racism on the eve of Prince Phillips’s death. They treated the Queen and Charles horribly and broke all contact with William and Catherine.

They did an awful docuseries where Meghan made fun of having to curtsy to the Queen. Harry wrote a tell-all book where he smeared his family and which many of the stories have been shown to be either exaggerated or out-n-out fiction.

They have spent eight years in a game of one-upmanship where for every royal announcement or event they have to post their own “news” to redirect the attention.

Prince Harry gets paid for speaking engagements where he does nothing but talk about the death of his mother, Diana. I understand this is a trauma point for him as it would be for any child tragically losing their parent. At a certain point though you must decide if you are going to use this trauma to define your entire life or are you going to use it to make yourself better and to help others. He talks about mental health issues but not in a way that shows others how to find their way out of the darkness. He discusses getting his own therapy but allows Meghan to continue in the lie that The Firm at Buckingham Palace did nothing to help her with her mental health struggles. He says he never wanted to be a royal but he continues to do royal-style tours. He hasn’t laid down his Prince or Duke titles despite his lamenting that he didn’t want them.

And Meghan relishes in her title, signing her name with HRH and demanding that she be introduced as the Duchess of Sussex. They have expected their children to carry Prince and Princess titles though not being raised in Britain. They walked away from the royals yet still wants the benefits of membership.

Harry expects the British people to pay for his security while doing nothing for them.

Meghan, just this week, used sick children and homeless women to shill the clothes she was wearing and then complained she was the most trolled woman in the world. She wore a Chanel dress to meet children suffering from cancer and her $20k Cartier watch to serve at the women’s shelter.

I am sick of hearing their complaints and how much their life sucks. They had everything laid at their feet. They had every privilege the rest of us only dream of. And it wasn’t enough.

If they had truly wanted a quiet life, they could have followed the example of Princess Anne’s children and not carried titles or been working royals but still remained part of the family. Prince Edward’s children ride the Metro and work regular jobs. They could have made the life they wanted. They chose not to do so and instead walked away. And then have spent their time since complaining.

So my message for these two entitled asses is to go back to your Montecito mansion with your maids and your cooks and your Nannie’s and shut up about how bad your life is. Look at your $150 million bank balance and consider that most of us will never come close to seeing that menu zeroes in our accounts. Give of your time without the cameras. Show some appreciation for the blessings you have and try to make your existence about someone other than yourself.
