Pretty certain they never said they wanted complete privacy. I wonder which media sources spouted and then perpetuated that?

People not hacking their phones would probably help that...

Nor paparazzi hiding behind shrubbery as they leave a clinic having just suffered a miscarriage. Hopefully this case, and the case against the DM will clip the media wings, although Morgan seems suitably outraged that the judge named him.
And hopefully the public can have a break from them being constantly in the so called news.

If the 'news' hadn't stalked them, hacked their phones or published lies about them, the public would've heard a lot less.
Next court case up is against the Daily Mail.
Your 'blame' is misplaced.

"The sun rose in the west over the Pacific. Inside the Sussexes' idyll in Montecito, the Sussexes were leading an idyllic life. Meghan was spending time with the children, reading them nursery rhymes rewritten for the modern generation before going off to do pilates. The rest of the day she spent perfecting her image and complaining to the media that no one was breaking her self-imposed media blackout. In the meantime, Harry was doing his daily two hours of unconscious bias training."

That's down to media companies, not them!

Writing controversial “clickbaity” books, then going on TV talk shows and promotional tours to promote them is very mixed messaging from the Sussexes. As is the families ties with friendly media sources. I certainly don’t think they mind the attention, as long as it is 100% supportive and fawning.
Haha, see JC Denton”s post!
Again, haha, see JC Denton’s post!

Don’t be naive. They have nothing to offer the world except their celebrity. Famous for being famous. Nothing else.

I did. He’s wrong.
I’ve read Spare. I doubt he has.

Injured veterans at the Invictus games, and those kids at Sentabalw would disagree.i
Your dislike is band wagonning.
Prince Harry is gunning for the press because of his mother’s death. Normally the Royal family have an ‘agreement’ of never complain and don’t explain.
He’s walked away, and so doesn’t need to stick to those guidelines.
Couldn’t agree more.
The views of one or two on here have to be seen to be believed!
No, he doesn't need to stick to those guidelines. But if he appears to court publicity yet moan every time it's not positive, some of us will think he's a bit of a twat. It also seems wrong to me for him to tarnish the whole royal family as racist by saying that one of them commented on the colour of his expected child, instead of saying which one - so effectively taking a swipe at all those who hadn't said anything. And then there's the question as to whether it was meant offensively in the first place, which I very much doubt.
He just comes across as a complete twat to me.
Although I completely support him in his fight against phone hacking, which was completely wrong. The media are complete scum.

That’s a balanced opinion and fair comment.
As for tarnishing, it was an accumulation of incidences, such as the lady in waiting caught being racist, who resigned, along with Princess Michael wearing the ‘blackamoor’ broach. There is also the partner of a private secretary selling stories to the press.
