I suppose there is a kind of courage in
knowing when you’ve had enough, and in that respect Harry has been clear
enough. But in truth it’s not entirely obvious what has driven him to
such a conclusion: was the £2.4 million taxpayer-funded refurbishment of
Frogmore Cottage not lavish enough? The outpouring of affection at
their multi-million-pound wedding insufficiently fawning? The Queen’s
repeated invitations to stay - rebuffed more than once - not hospitable
enough?
It’s almost as though nothing
matters to this couple apart from their own immediate happiness and
gratification, as though they are incapable of seeing beyond their own
little bubble of privilege. It has often been speculated as to whether
they might end up walking away from Britain. But the timing of this
announcement could hardly be more insensitive, or more indicative of the
how little either seems to understand the true nature of their roles as
Royals."
