'Instead of blowing up the royal family, Harry’s memoir showed that despite the outward fine costuming, the deep and shallow emotions, the arguments and pettiness, the squabbling and resentments, are universally familiar,' writes TimTeeman
Charles’ most infamous TV interview in June 1994—with his friend Jonathan Dimbleby, who may also conduct the coronation interview—contained his admission that he had committed adultery with.
Yet the new king hasn’t played by those say-nothing roles for some years. He told the world he was an adulterer. He, his ex-wife, and his children have all been relentlessly focused on by the media, yet also—as the years have gone on, and as Harry made clear inand in his interviews for it—the royals and their handlers have become adept players of the game too.
The second example of the week of Diana’s death shows an opposing mode of action: a grudging but emphatic piece of royal engagement, a visible changing of usually intractable minds, political necessity blowing open the doors of royal silence. The royals didn’t ignore what was right in front of them—immense public anger—but instead, spurred by then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, the queen met the moment and gave a primetime TV tribute to Diana.
William is likely still suspicious that anything said to Harry could one day be regurgitated for the next Netflix documentary or a possible volume two of memoirs for which Harry has said he has enough material for.The frosty royal silence solidifies Charles, William and co. as the immovable edifice, not even countenancing the various charges made against them.But in totality, all Harry’s memoir has amounted to so far is a restatement of familiar royal positions.
In the short term, it would have been humiliating and embarrassing for Charles and William to read. But the memoir was really a bitchy and very readable avalanche of slights and grievances that were at once familiar to so many families and many families—more than one person said to me, aftercame out, “Oh, that’s just like me and my xxxx ”—while also laying out the grand scale of royal wealth.
