Who is more despicable - faceless people (members of the FIRM - core Royal family) who feed information to the press who spins and spices it with lies in a destructive way to sell their papers OR someone who used his own mouth to say it as he experienced it in pain and agony hoping someone would listen and make the needed change. We all should be a judge, especially the majority of the British people who appear mortified by Harry's revelations .....
How the FIRM and the INSTITUTION address Harry washing their dirty clothes outside will define them in the next couple of decades. They could choose to be vindictive, crumble what is left of the bridge, take Harry and Meghan's titles, ban them from the royal family and double down on not having a toxic relationship with the British tabloid and on maintaining the falsehood about issues around implicit bias against minorities OR
Begin a private, and then public effort to reconcile with Harry and his family to heal the wounds on both sides, and come out stronger and last another generation.
Whatever choice the British Royal family makes will either make or mar them for a long time - I am sure of one thing, SILENCE is not one of the options.
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
