Prince Harry can never complain about privacy breaches again after revealing family secrets

After his latest round of tell-all interviews, Prince Harry can wave goodbye to all rights to privacy in the future.

Prince Harry’s treachery towards the royals – and his own intimate revelations about his life – means he has now waved goodbye to all rights to privacy for himself and his Californian-based family in the future.

In his leaked book Spare, officially out on Tuesday, and in the round after round of tell all interviews, he has revealed private conversations with close members of his family.

He has also written about other people’s mental and physical health, without their permission.

His father King Charles must be mortified that Prince Harry has included in his memoir the fact that he still carries his childhood teddy bear around with him due to being bullied as a child.

Prince William would surely not have wanted the world to know he has been circumcised.

All the while, Prince Harry continues to rail about media intrusion in his own life.

And to think his wife Meghan Markle was so outraged when a UK tabloid published a personal letter she had written to her estranged father – and which now seems pretty bland in comparison with the Sussexes’ revelations – that she sued?

She won.

When it comes to privacy it seems like they’re making up the rules as they go along.

After being fanatically private about their lives, he’s now an oversharer.

Prince Harry writes about his drug taking, how he lost his virginity in a field behind a pub with an older woman and bizarre details about his own circumcised penis, which unfortunately got frostbite following a trip to the North Pole.

It means going forward, everything they do is fair game for the media, whether they like it or not.

This will generate more headlines, not fewer.

And editors will be confident the couple will be less able to defend themselves against privacy breaches.

They may also find they get little public sympathy if they choose to complain having made squillions of dollars out of doing the same thing to other people.
