Harry and Meghan are sounding increasingly bitter

Reading between the lines- and it's not very difficult to do so - the latest statement put out by Harry and Meghan is filled with anger and bitterness and disappointment and frustration. Slowly they are being isolated from the rest of the Royal Family and they are beginning to hit back. The language they use is carefully drawn up but the message to Buckingham Palace is unmistakable. Who was behind the sentence about the word "royal" on their website? Was it Harry dictating to Meghan or the other way around? So they agreed not to use the brand name SussexRoyal because the Queen or her advisers told them this was no longer appropriate. But the duke and duchess wrote that neither the Queen nor her government had world rights on the word "royal". In other words there's Royal and there's royal. Strictly speaking that's true. For example, somone might say, "The duke and duchess have made a right royal mess of things." Royal in that context is just a commoner's adjective. But His Royal Highness and his SussexRoyal brand.....well that's totally different. Harry and Meghan are not stupid, they know the difference. Of course there isn't a ban on the word royal but in their case there IS a ban on the word Royal because it's a rank, a title, a special status. So why put that silly sentence into the H and M statement? And then there's the bitter stab at Buckingham Palace over the fact that OTHER royals - in other words William and Kate - can use Royal, so why can't they? Because, as the couple (but really Meghan I suspect) also wrote in the statement: whatever anyone does they can't take away the fact that both Harry and son Archie have royal blood in their veins. Or should I say Royal blood? Well that's true, but saying that in a statement makes it all seem so petty and all rather pathetic. Whoever advised them about the latest statement advised them badly. Very badly. But perhaps they have stopped taking advice, or stopped listening anyway. This latest statement summed up more about their new situation than anything they have written or said before. Harry and Meghan are building a wall around themselves and loosing off poisoned arrows at anyone they perceive to be their enemies. All very unpleasant and unnecessary.
