Thread Name: BS: Prince Harry
Subject: RE: BS: Prince Harry
I disagree that we ought to feel sorry for Harry because of his upbringing. A lot of kids lose a parent, regardless of their economic circumstances, and turn out fine. I was just at the funeral of an aunt who was widowed at age 36, who raised 6 kids (youngest was 4 months old when the father died at Christmas).

I think you are right about Diana's drama and attention seeking. And I don't think she appeared to be particularly loving mother, despite the royal photo opps. I can recall several instances of film footage of her walking right past Harry to get to her "future king" son. That same mother who intimidated movie theater personnel into letting her underage sons into films they were too young to attend.

To say that their wealth and privlege isn't a factor in their arrogance, their attention seeking, their sense of privlege, is way off the mark, IMO.
