Prince Harry Wants to Cry About Being “Commercialised” While Cashing Cheques Off His Family’s Pain
He told the High Court his life has been “commercialised” by the media and that it made Meghan Markle’s life “an absolute misery.” And yet, no one on earth has monetised his private life more aggressively than Harry himself.
This case is meant to be about press intrusion and alleged wrongdoing from years ago. Long before Meghan. Long before the Netflix deals, podcast contracts, memoir launches, and endless PR campaigns. Yet he still twisted it into a Meghan centred sob story because he has learned how to weaponise feelings to replace facts.
And it is getting tired.
If Harry truly believed profiting off someone’s private life was disgusting, he would have stopped doing it himself. He would not have sold the most intimate parts of his life to the highest bidder. He would not have packaged family conflicts into content. He would not have dragged his father, his brother, and their wives through global humiliation while pretending he’s some innocent victim of tabloids.
One tweet summed it up perfectly: “Stop selling your private lives to the media.” Exactly. Harry’s outrage is selective. When newspapers profit, he calls it evil. When he profits, he calls it healing, truth, and bravery.
Harry is not just complaining about his life being commercialised. He built a new life off commercialising it. He didn’t escape the machine. He became the machine. He didn’t reject the spotlight. He negotiated the price.
And the irony is almost insulting. He wants the public to believe he is outraged by intrusions while he hands over private details on command, when it’s profitable and when it hurts the people he’s angry at. He wants sympathy while continuing to monetise grievances like it’s a business model.
This is why so many people are starting to lose patience. Because they are watching a man who claims to hate the media while feeding it daily. A man who claims he wants privacy while staging publicity. A man who claims he wants justice while performing for attention.
He is not fighting for dignity. He is fighting for control.
Control of the narrative. Control of the headlines. Control of who gets blamed and who gets paid.
So yes, Harry can wipe his eyes and talk about being “commercialised.” But he should know the world isn’t as gullible as it used to be. People can see the difference between being exploited and being a willing participant who simply wants the profits without the pushback.
Harry isn’t traumatised by commercialisation.
He’s traumatised that he can’t monopolise it.
