It has nothing to do with his age, that is just an excuse, like oh I was drunk. Well you got yourself in that shape with no one twisting your arm. When you are a part of a monarachy you have to conduct yourself at certain standards, Harry didn't do that.
Are the Millions of dollars spent worth the monarchay? I say NO, the money could be put to much better use helping the starving children in the world.

Originally posted by @torunnThere’s a lot of evidence on how hard the Royal Family work these days. I don’t envy their position, their lack of privacy and the level of protocol they have to live by. I wouldn’t say that they have any happier lives than the rest of us and I wouldn’t take their lifestyle if it was offered to me. I’d hate to constantly be in the public eye and have to deal with the criticism.
Many children are born into families of wealth (successful business people and such), those privileges are hereditary too. Not quite the same thing, I agree, but as I have lived all my life in a nation of monarchy, I just can't see it any other way.
It’s so good to hear a happy story on the news and I’ll look forward to watching the wedding on the TV next year. Maybe we’ll get another public holiday like we did for William and Catherine’s wedding.
Wonder whether Mr Trump will get an invite? 🙄

But I doubt your information anyway.
What exactly would a tourist not see if there were no monarchy?
Originally posted by @drewnogalYou do make a good point. However when you are in the public eye and know you are in the public eye being watched and video recorded in this day and age.

His past will be brought out in the future no matter how he conducts himself from here into the future. It is sad but true. Our past always comes back to haunt us it seems.

Great news about Harry and Meghan!

A lot is being made of his brave decision to marry someone of mixed race.
I would say she is braver marrying a carrot-top.
