The Sussexes don’t speak for my generation | The Telegraph

Polling suggests that young people have a better opinion of the Sussexes than the population as a whole. But many of us find Harry and Meghan just as cringeworthy as our parents do.

The Sussexes’ public display of embarrassment seems to come close to grandiose delusion. The notion that they must publicly “share their truth”, all the while claiming that they wanted a private life away from media attention, feels entirely disingenuous.

It is particularly striking to hear two people publicly parade their “trauma” whilst simultaneously rolling footage of their Windsor VIP suite at Heathrow. We are facing a cost of living crisis, many British people are having to choose between heating their homes and hot meals, and yet Harry and Meghan whine from their reported net worth of $60 million. I for one do not have any sympathy. It does seem quite odd to claim to hate the media, and then proceed to accept £20 million to make a six-part documentary. Surely the sensible thing to do if they really wanted the media to back off, would be to lie low?
