A high sum to pay
Harry and Meghan can smile about how much money they make from their public laundry, but they have sacrificed those closest to them.
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are in the process of cutting all ties with almost everyone in their immediate family.
Meghan’s father Thomas and half-sibling Thomas jr. and Samantha have long been absent from their lives, and Harry’s father Charles and brother William also seem to be doing everything to get rid of it.
Then only Meghan’s mother Doria remains. There won’t be many family parties for the couple in the future.

Left with DKK 1.8 billion
I think that is a high sum to pay to share one’s view of reality in public.
In my mind, it does not help that you are left with 1.8 billion kroner, including Netflix series, book and podcast, to throw all your loved ones under the bus.
But Harry and Meghan clearly have a completely different view of what is important in life than I do. They seem morbidly preoccupied with telling the whole world that they know best about everything. They are sitting on the whole and complete truth.
Then it doesn’t matter if they can’t document their claims, that it goes beyond those who stand, or at least have stood, close to them or that the traditional British monarchy is put in danger.
Admittedly, there have been many scandals in the British royal house over the years, but Harry and Meghan’s showdown, now the latest in the Netflix series Harry and Meghan, tops most.
No prince has previously accused his father and king of lying in public, talked about the quarrels with his brother and next king, criticized his late queen and grandmother for not intervening in family conflict and more than suggested that the British royal house is racist and corrupt and consists of a number of disloyal people who both pander to the media and partially control the tabloid newspapers when it comes to covering the royals.

The Netflix series “Harry and Meghan”
But Harry and Meghan claim all this in the Netflix series. No wonder every Brit I know is more or less in shock.
All family feuds are bad, but it gets especially ugly when it happens in full public view and with some of the world’s most famous people in the lead roles. Here there are no winners – only losers.
Even experienced reporters in Britain, who love when it happens in the royal house, never imagined the scandal they are now witnessing in their own country.
The disputes in the Norwegian royal family which led to Princess Märtha withdrawing from representative duties and the title dispute in Denmark feel almost like a small trifle in this context.
Although, with 23 years of experience as a court reporter, I also did not see that these cases would reach the public.

Should conclude a peace treaty
Another big difference between the petty squabbles in the Scandinavian royal houses and the British one is that the first two cases seem to be resolved. Or as King Harald said about the relationship with Princess Märtha and fiance Durek Verrett: – We have agreed to disagree.
I think such a solution is unlikely in the UK. There, the conflict seems completely quickly resolved.
Some believe that King Charles must be tough and deprive Meghan and Harry of their royal duties. I don’t think it will solve any problems. Harry will continue to be the son of the king and the brother of the next king.
I believe that for the sake of the future of the monarchy and their own honor they have to enter into some kind of peace agreement. Although I don’t think it’s ever going to end up being friends again. That race has long since been run.
