Award for sulky teens goes to...

EVERYONE in Los Angeles was very sad that the Duchess of Sussex failed to turn up in person to accept her latest award this week — The Annual Wacky races Humanitarian Prize For outstanding Actress In A Car Chase Sequence.

She was also due to accept the Gracie Award For Podcast Host of The year in their Digital Media Section, but didn’t turn up for that either.

What can be wrong? Suggestions that the Sussexes are in a huff because doubts have been cast over their version of events in new york last week seem, well, close to the truth.

A statement from an ‘insider’ suggested that the couple ‘insist their account of the car chase WAS absolutely NOT exaggerated and for people to say otherwise is so hurtful and out of line.’

Hurtful! out of line! All this emotional representation makes the Sussexes sound like a couple of sulky teenagers who’ve just had the jam nicked out of their doughnuts.

And sometimes, to be fair, that is exactly how it seems. For Harry and Meghan don’t just want to control how they are reported in the media.

They also seem to want nothing less than to control online opinion and comment sites while steering the public narrative into a happy place and dominating the hearts and minds of the entire world with their goodness.

However, people see what they see. They can make up their own minds about what happened and appropriate their victimhood points accordingly.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan may be good at winning awards, but there is not a ripple of hope they can change this damaging narrative to suit their needs. no matter how hurtful that might be.
