JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A FEW WORDS ON THE IDEA THAT HARRY AND MEGHAN ARE BREAKING ROYAL TRADITION - THEIRS IS ACTUALLY A SAD STORY SPEAKING TO THE HUMAN CONDITION

John Chuckman

COMMENT POSTED (AND REMOVED) TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS



“Are Harry and Meghan breaking tradition — or setting trends?”



And truly, does anyone care?

The monarchy itself is very problematic.

But this couple goes way beyond problematic.

Here is a man demonstrated on many occasions to be rash and foolish and, yes, showing definite signs of mental instability.

He has done things from bragging about killing a man in Afghanistan, a place he demanded he be sent, to the time he showed up at a drinking party, years ago, in a costume tailored as a Nazi uniform.

There is, after all, a long record of that in the Spencer family from which Diana came.

He is boring and uninteresting to boot.

She is an extraordinarily beautiful woman, but her only achievement is as a "B" actress and her intense, burning ambition to become a princess is hardly an attractive quality or anything to recommend her to young women.

She pays an immense price for that ambition, too. A lifetime with Harry. I regard theirs as a sad story, almost tragic. It does tell us something though about the human condition.
