Prince Harry has made a huge mistake and he is about to pay the price
Harry has made a huge mistake and the Prince is about to pay the ultimate price for it – hint, it is about to get awkward.
OPINION
Prince Harry is returning to the UK for his dad’s coronation, and I am very excited to see how awkward it is going to be – pass me the popcorn, I mean quiche.
Harry has spent the last year slagging off his family and smouldering in photo shoots and trying to look 50 per cent sad and 50 per cent handsome.
Now he’ll have to make small talk with them over scones.
He is like that person you keep on Facebook purely because they endlessly post statuses complaining about their family.
You learn all sorts of things! Like their baby daddy is behind on child support or how they don’t speak to their stepdad or why their mum is a complete b**ch.
It is like a car crash, and you can’t look away.
That has become Harry.
He didn’t just discuss the trauma of losing his mother at a young age or share his thoughts on a modern day monarchy.
No, he decided to go for blood.
Instead of using Facebook though he has logged onto the world stage and he hasn’t shut up ever since.
He has become that guy at a party that has had one too many beers and then starts telling you about his complicated family life, all while explaining to you that you couldn’t possibly relate to his very unique experience.
Harry’s giving guy in a beanie holding a guitar at 2am kick-ins energy.
It has been a busy year for Harry.
He wrote about a fight he had with his brother William and complained that his stepmum Camilla turned his old room into a dressing room.
Interesting, yes? I personally loved knowing this information.
Especially that William broke Harry’s necklace during their scrap – the details are incredible but we shouldn’t know them!
Why?
Well, because the problem with slagging off your family is you have to see them again. Look at Harry, he now has to go back to England and face not only the coronation quiche but his entire extended family.
I’m worried they’ll make him babysit the corgies and refuse to let him attend the after-party as punishment for being a sook.
All of us have some complaints about our families.
I have quite a few.
I’ve barely recovered from the time a doctor looked at my neck and thought I had a thyroid issue and my mum, without missing a beat, said: “Oh no, she just has her father’s neck.”
To Mum’s credit, she was right.
The doctor ran tests and my mother’s theory prevailed.
In retrospect, it’s quite a funny story but at the time I was very offended about the whole thing. Yet, I didn’t air those feelings out on Facebook.
Why?
Because I have to see my mum quite a bit and there’s no need to make it awkward.
No one wants to be the reason Mum is holding meetings in the walk-in pantry on Christmas Day.
Yet, Harry decided to throw that rule book out the window and started blabbing like he wasn’t going to be forced to see his family again.
He has complained about everyone!
William, Charles, Camilla.
It makes complete sense that Harry has experienced trauma and wants to talk about it but there was no need for him to get petty.
Being messy is entirely acceptable behaviour if you are having wines with the girls but it is pretty wild when you’ve written a book about it and done multiple sit-down interviews.
Surely this makes the family Kris Kringle group chat a bit awkward.
The irony is after Harry complaining about his family all year on television, he will now appear alongside them at King Charles’s coronation and honestly, imagine how awkward it would be.
The only person that should be pleased about these events is Duchess Fergie – who will finally look like an angel in comparison.
Harry’s made a grave mistake – he has bitten the family that feeds him.
This would all make way more sense if Harry planned to cut himself off from his family, but no he is down to still hangout, hence why he is going to the coronation.
The man has set himself up for plenty of awkward small talk and even Meghan has bailed on him.
It is peak chaotic behaviour and completely ridiculous, and if I’m honest, I kind of love it.
