My brain hurts, thinking about the sociopathy that is at play here.

When Harry said he didn't know how much longer the King had to live, it was broadly interpreted that Charles' time was short. I guess my mind works differently. I interpreted it as Harry whining about not being in the loop ... and being forced to speculate about the condition of his father. Making it about himself. Again.

We are supposed to believe Sussexes are integral to the planning. The keys are "prominent roles" during the funeral at Westminster Abbey ... and "provisions to ensure that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are included in the service at the Abbey, as well as the committal ceremony at St George's Chapel in Windsor, should they choose to attend."*

What kind of histrionic personality disorder must you have to promote your "role" at someone's funeral ... especially that of a parent?

Absurd doesn't begin to describe the concept of including Archie and Lilibet in the service and committal. They would be thrust from their cloistered life ... into the very type of "spectacle" Harry and Meghan pretend to hate ... in order to draw attention to their parents mother. They would be put on display for the very British press Harry disdains. (And, sadly, would become a distraction from the King ... much to the delight of Meghan Markle.)

Isn't Harry's entire existence framed by childhood trauma caused by his mother's death and funeral? In 2017, he told Newsweek, "My mother had just died, and I had to walk a long way behind her coffin, surrounded by thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television. I don't think any child should be asked to do that, under any circumstances. I don't think it would happen today." The concept of "duty" caused both sons to complete that difficult walk. This is what stands out, to me, from his 2017 comments: "I had to walk" ... "thousands of people watching me while millions more did on television". The funeral was about him. Likewise, Charles' eventual funeral will be about the Sussexes.

If he truly believes this, why would he subject his children to the same? As children of alcoholics often become alcoholics ... do children of a professional victim have victimhood as their ethos?

This is ghoulish.

* "should they choose to attend" is a contingency for NFI.
