KING OF MEAN EVICTS SON HARRY

In America, a landlord cannot evict a tenant before his lease is up without just cause.  Non payment of rent, or destruction of property might convince a judge to kick a tenant out.  I’m not sure what the landlord-tenant statutes  are in the UK, but it seems King Charles is above the law.  He went ahead and evicted his son  from Frogmore Cottage in England because he didn’t like his  memoir.  I’ve been to court in cases like this, and I can assure you no judge would allow me to evict a tenant because he said something about me that I didn’t like.  But the King of Mean evicts son Harry without the blink of an eye.

King of Mean, Charles of England, evicts son Harry before his lease expires.

I can see where Charles was upset with Harry’s memoir, “Spare.”  It pretty much explained how a 12 year old boy might be depressed when his mother is killed and he is forced to march in her funeral procession. Things got worse for Harry from then on, but he was just supposed to grin and bear it when his emotional well being was  ignored, and his older brother was given all the glory.

It  all makes sense now.  Charles cheated on Harry’s mom, Diana, and ruined her life.  Now he’s cheating his son out of a property that was leased to him by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.  All of which means he doesn’t care if he ruins his son’s life, and has no interest in seeing his beautiful grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, ever again.   At the very least, I would think he’d compensate his son for the 2.4 million dollars he spent on renovating the property before he was forced to leave England six months later.

One might argue that Harry and Meghan left of their own volition.  But if you look back, they were encouraged to leave when they asked to go part time in their jobs. We’re told that the handlers of the monarchy said, “you’re either in or out.  No in between.”  Which didn’t give them a whole lot of choice.  For the sake of their own mental health, they had to find a different path, but they got no sympathy from Charles and William.

The Britons have been mad at Harry lately because of all the things he said about his dad, brother, and stepmother. But did they really want to see him treated in such a cruel way? When the King of Mean evicts son Harry, it may come back to bite him. His royal  subjects might  see him as cold hearted,  callous, and indifferent to the needs of anyone with mental health issues.

DAMNED IF THEY DO OR DON’T

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.
