Harsh Spiegel attack on Prince Harry: Symbol of family failure from the first moment of his life

Today’s edition of Spiegel magazine is dedicated to the interior of the British royal house. Which is of course not that much deeper after the revelations of the untamed sheep of the Windsors, Prince Harrywhom columnists call renegade and self-destructive.

In an unprecedented media campaign, Prince Harry is hurling accusations against the House of Windsor, the magazine summarizes. “His attacks have hit the British royal family at a difficult time. The country is deeply divided by the economic crisis and the royal family is disintegrating in front of the eyes of the whole world,” they point out.

In the multi-page tribute with many historical facts, photos in good and bad moments from the childhood of the two brothers, their marriages and snapshots with Elizabeth, the magazine attempts a psychological anatomy of the prince’s personality.

“Harry, in retrospect, is a symbol of family failure from the first moment of his life. His parents’ marriage probably ended with his birth. His father Charles returned to his mistress Camilla, with whom he had already fallen in love years before his marriage to Diana… Harry’s public appearances as a teenager were interesting mainly when they were embarrassing, and they always were. Leaving the royal family, Harry managed to become more famous than the heir to the throne, his brother William… The title of his autobiography suggests that Harry struggles with the fact that he has to back down from his brother for the rest of his life. of his life… In any case, anyone who wants to analyze Harry’s story now has infinite material at his disposal, which he provided himself. At the same time, it takes distance and knowledge of other imgs to find what Harry calls ‘truth’, a truth in which other perspectives have a place.”

But Meghan’s personality, family origins, profession and presence are also being scrutinized by columnists as an opportunity to revitalize the throne.

“For an anachronistic institution whose survival depends on its appeal to the masses, Harry and Meghan were a huge promise. But in the euphoria, some overlooked the fact that Harry was no longer willing to put himself at the disposal of the royal family at the emotional price he had already paid long ago.”
