It can’t be Vegas every day, Harry

-

here comes Prince harry, lurching into another rather ill-judged interview.

In an encounter with Newsweek, he claimed that no one in his family wants to be King or Queen.

Can that be true? If so, shouldn’t they be encouraged to drop all the castles and prestige that come with the job?

The poor Queen! Sixty-five years of flawless service, but saddled with a grandson who seems to think that royal life is nothing more than a game of thrones. harry also took the opportunit­y to air his dismay at having to walk behind his mother’s coffin — a sentiment echoed by William in another recent interview.

It is truly awful that the princes were bereaved at a young age. Sadly, it is a fate that befalls a lot of children around the world, most of whom do not have a richly upholstere­d royal cushion of wealth and privilege to comfort them.

To be frank, it’s not his fault — this latest interview was surely arranged ages ago — but now is not the time, given recent events in London, for harry and his brother to keep reminding us of their grievances and how much they have suffered.

This recent exposure to princely emotions has been interestin­g, but I wonder if the moment has come for the pair of them to retreat back into the royal shell.

To stop emoting and over-sharing and — let’s be honest — having a bit of a moan.

Yes, royal constricti­ons and duties must be a pain sometimes. But harry has to realise that not every day can be a nakedin-Vegas-day.
