I actually think its going to be funny to see his cross examination by Sherbourne! How on earth is Sherbourne going to get him to look remotely believable?
One thing I think Harold hasnt realised, is that he has absolutely no idea of politics at all. As someone else said, the UK is a constitutional monarchy. It isnt a complete democracy or republic, because we still have a hereditary monarchy, headed up by a King or Queen.
Nobody is currently calling for a revolution, or to abolish the monarchy, but, the Mirror is a left leaning more socialist paper, who are less accepting of royalty and are more likely to be critical of the whole institution of monarchy than any of the other papers. This has been true since the Mirror was first established in the last century.
Therefore it isnt actually surprising if The Mirror are writing articles about royalty with a bit of snark in them. I would expect them to use sarcasm and to make all the members of Royalty look a bit ridiculous.
Its sad that a child has got caught in the crossfire, but as Jan Moir says, The press were not entirely critical towards Harold, when he was a child, so maybe it wasnt quite as bad as H is perceiving. I very much doubt that Hazno saw any of these articles a child or young man. So how did they have this awful effect on him?
