Most everyone has someone in their life that they really don’t like. Sometimes, there’s a good reason. Like a co worker who back stabbed you, or a relative who bad mouths you. I’m not a psychologist, but I’m sure that there are thousands of reasons why we dislike a certain person. Consequently, it seems they can’t do anything right. Sometimes, we’re the dislikee-or the person disliked. We may sense the hostility, or not realize that a certain person doesn’t wish us well. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that nothing you can do will change their mind. You can volunteer in Africa, or give a million dollars to their alma mater. Doesn’t matter. No matter what you do, their opinion of you will remain the same. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are a perfect example of this phenomenon. No matter where they go, someone is going to criticize them. They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Damned if they do or don't. Harry and Meghan can't please their critics — DAMNED IF THEY DO OR DON’T. No matter what they do, someone is going to criticize them.

If they had stayed too long at the Queen’s platinum jubilee, they would have been accused of trying to steal the spotlight. However when they decided to leave early, the critics accused them of snubbing the Queen. They can’t win.

The Meghan haters declared from the git go that she was nothing but a gold digger. That seems pretty insulting to Prince Harry, who happens to be quite a hunk. To me, a gold digger is a young woman who marries an older unattractive man, simply because he’s rich. Harry is young, charming and personable. Therefore, I would imagine he could have attracted a pretty wife even without his royal title.

Apparently, the English consider Harry to be an ungrateful traitor to the crown. He was supposed to spend his life attending boring ceremonies and playing second fiddle to the future king, his brother William. What’s so terrible about deciding he didn’t want to do that? How many American men leave home at a certain age, and strike out on their own?

They said he trashed the monarchy with his Oprah interview. I can’t see where he trashed anyone. He didn’t criticize prince Charles for ruining his own mother’s life. Didn’t accuse anyone in the royal family of doing anything illegal or unsavory. He simply explained why he wanted to leave England and start a new life in America.

Right now, they are doing what any sensible people in that same position would do. Ignore the critics who can’t be pleased, and go on with their own lives. They’ve done the best they can. They aren’t hurting anyone. If English broadcaster Piers Morgan dislikes Harry and Meghan, it’s on him. Because they’re damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

Does anyone remember when Princess Di Married the Prince of Wales? From the outside it looked like a fairytale marriage. When, in fact, it was a nightmare from the git go. How many bridegrooms would leave their betrothed alone in a dark room the night before their wedding, while schmoozing on the phone with his old girlfriend? Apparently, Diana wanted to back out, but her sisters told her she had to go through with it. She married a man who didn’t love her, and she knew it. If he’d kept it to himself and put on a good show, it wouldn’t have been so bad. But Charles treated her like dirt, divorced her, married Camilla, and thought he got away with it. But he didn’t. Because now, bad karma strikes back at Charles.

Karma strikes back at Charles. He treated Di badly, and now it's come back to haunt him.

Karma strikes back at Charles. His sons suffered from the way he treated their mother.

How can anyone believe that the sons of this disastrous union wouldn’t be somewhat psyched up? Apparently, William was old enough to handle his mother’s miserable marriage, divorce, and untimely death. But Harry was just a little kid. At twelve years old, forced to march in a parade behind his mother’s coffin. It’s a miracle he ended up so well.

After the Oprah interview last week with Meghan and Harry, the British press went bonkers. How could Harry say such horrible things about his family on public television? The question is, why wouldn’t he? A victim should be able to tell his side of the story in the end. And yes, Harry was a victim of his father’s narcissistic treatment of his mother. Are we saying that people with money don’t have emotional problems? That if they do have them, they should be ashamed of themselves?

I have no idea why Charles was such a callous person. Maybe it went back to his Mom trying so hard to be a queen that she didn’t have much time for mothering. Not to mention dealing with a notoriously womanizing husband. That’s the thing about karma. It just goes on and on, echoing down through the centuries.

Maybe Harry and Meghan are trying to give their kids some good karma by moving to America. I hope it works. Because bad karma is striking back at Charles right now.
