Happy Birthday
@D. A.
Long before Peg, Harry would constantly make sly comments about William .
The US media was somehow his primary outlet.
It was percieved based on his carefully crafted image by the Duchy of Cornwall $$$ that he is just joking, it's all cheeky Harry.
The fun loving joker.
Most people didn't notice the Diana pattern in him, and if they did it was favorable because the Duchy of Cornwall $$$ made sure that her image was relatively untarnished even in times of the war of the Waleses.
Peg is on her own, a incompetent grifter, that made it somwhere via Daddy -Trevor-Cory-Harry, she doesn't have the know-how to even start this game.
Harry is the original string puller , it was brewing before her.
