WHY LAUNCH THESE FAMILY BOMBSHELLS FROM LOS ANGELES?

-

■ Prince Harry has compared his life to living in a zoo, says he would raise his children the ‘opposite’ way to his parents and grandparen­ts, and has also suggested that many of his relatives put royal duty above all else (Metro, Fri).

He doesn’t know when to stop. He made the decision to move to the US to give himself the privacy he wanted. Doing interviews and criticisin­g his family is not the way to go to get the privacy he wants. Janice, Manchester

■ Oh, how he thinks he’s suffered! He’s a snivelling disgrace to our royal family and should be cut free. Barbara, Medway

■ I agree with Harry that we all need to wake up and look at how we were brought up and ask, ‘Was it good? Was it right?’ If we can do that now, we have a chance of making this world a better place. Marianne Baddiley, Bedford

■ It’s really troubling when someone voices their experience­s and it’s sensationa­lised as ‘an attack’.

I commend Harry on his honesty and bravery because it’s completely relatable.

Being scrutinise­d and gawked at every day of your life must be souldestro­ying. And yes, he should have been protected from that, and yes, he should break the cycle.

He was born into this privilege but shouldn’t have to be defined or destroyed by it.

His father should receive this message with love and understand­ing and see his point of view.

Let’s hope Charles hears his son’s pain but also acknowledg­es his own (because that’s also important). That way they can all heal and move on together. Charmaine, London

■ For somebody who wanted to stay out of the limelight, Harry is spending more time in it than out of late. At the moment the royals are in mourning for a muchloved father and grandfathe­r. Harry spouting off yet again shows a huge disrespect to them all. Both him and Meghan seem hell-bent on trying to bring down the royal family at any cost. Fred, Fleet

■ If only people would listen to the whole Armchair Expert podcast in which Harry made his comments, instead of just listening to what the media wants them to.

We all know that, just like his grandfathe­r and father, Harry dislikes the press. He says he does not want to bring up his children the way he was brought up. How many people say this? Lots! Why is he vilified?

It is time people stop putting the royal family on a pedestal – they are flawed like many families, Prince Andrew being a telling example. If Harry wants a better life for his children, let him get on with it and stop making him the monster in the family. Corin, London

■ I genuinely thought that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to Los Angeles to get away from publicity.

Either leave the royal family (I would absolutely hate that) or don’t but please, Harry and Meghan, don’t try to have your cake and eat it, enjoying the privilege, money and royal titles without expecting a backlash.

As to his latest ‘pop’ at Prince Charles – and therefore the Queen – about how he was brought up, shame on you, Harry! Helen Dalton, Berkshire

■ I fully understand how Harry feels about putting his family first. Sheila, via email
