Royal privacy pains

In 1936, a constitutional crisis in the British Empire arose when King Edward VIII proposed to marry Wallis Simpson, an American socialite who was divorced from her first husband. Edward upset the aristocracy by treating their traditions and ceremonies with disdain and many were offended by his abandonment of accepted social norms and mores.

Repeat with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their post-royal breakup with Great Britain. While the former actress and divorcee complained about the "paparazzi" as a royal in Great Britain, she's upset with the "paparazzi" in North America.

I think it's normal for any Hollywood celebrity to accept the media's attention in past or future public exposure, in particular, if you hang out with other Hollywood celebrities.

I personally feel for Prince Harry in his personal sacrifices and not being fully prepared for the current outcomes in his marriage to a Hollywood celebrity. The privacy rules are really strong in Great Britain in part because of Harry and William; these privacy rules were put in place to protect them. Now Prince Harry and Meghan have moved to a place where those rules don't apply.

As they say in Great Britain, "keep a stiff upper lip" in remaining resolute and unemotional when faced with adversity.
