I just LOVE how they did Harry So DIRTY in Season 6. They exposed him as the entitled prick he is


I can see it in my head how Harry and Meghan sit in front of tv waiting for his scenes. Because you know they did. And Harry waiting for everyone to finally see "his struggles of being poor oppressed spare who was so unhappy and badly treated". After all - he told it in all details.

And then....and then.... He saw how they cast some ugly lizard looking actor to plays him like he is some Hollywood villain. And instead "poor oppressed soul Harry" everyone saw entitled whiny annoying prick! Who was just hanging in the background and appeared only next to William in scenes to fight with him or trash talk something. That was his only existence in this show.

And only one time they gave him "his storyline" was when they recreated his biggest embarrassing scandal - nazi uniform. And they even included scene after where prick Harry was all whining to William: "It's all your fault. You and Kate didn't stop me. Whah-whah".

It was glorious. And on top of that half the season was about dreamy looking hot young William who struggled with his mothers death and his duties as future king. About how he met Kate and fell in love. And Kate was cast with pretty actress. While Harry's struggles were completely ignored. Like he was some dog being always around somewhere.

I’m sure it was revenge of authors to him for trying to bring down royals. Because it looks like authors actually like monarchy. EVERYONE were nice and sympathetic in last season. Even Phillip. Charles was lovey-dovey. Camilla. Only Harry was prick.

And its because they cast lizard looking actor and put his hair down and just made him recreate everything Harry did and say. And without that charm and hair it was so obvious what a prick Harry always was. When you look at actions.

Because his charm was the thing that always got him out of troubles. Because he was pretty, hot and charming. So everyone forgave him. That's why he started that attack on royals, thinking everyone will be on his side like usual. But people were just tired of him and it was too much. So everyone turned on him.

I have to admit, they casted a very odd looking fellow to play teenaged Harry. But I never got the impression he was portrayed as a prick. His rebellion against the monarchy didn't happen until later on.

And since this is the final season, we won't see him with Meghan nor his departure from the royal life.

But in his book he whined how he hated everything and how everyone are so mean. And he is poor oppressed spare. He was always like that but on public pretended to be this cool fun loving young prince. And Meghan just unleashed it all and forced him to go publicly with his feelings towards being spare.

But inside he was always this entitled whiny villain like prick. People juts didn't know it until he went publicly with it. And if he would still live in UK with his wife and be part of monarchy - they would not portray him like that. He would be portrayed like goofy fun loving guy.

But since he went with all of that and confessed - they portrayed him the way he is. But cast charm-free lizard face guy who looks like villain from teen movies.

Since you dislike the monarchy so much, you should actually like what Harry did.

What makes you think I dislike monarchy? I like Windsors.

I dislike Harry because he is whiny a-hole. And I actually liked him up until that Oprah interview.

And I don't like Diana. For same reason. She was whiny entitled petty a-hole.

I actually didn't know his public persona was this fake all those years. Up until he told himself.

Everyone thought he and William were beloved brothers and friends. While we now know from Harry himself that he hated William out of envy because William was heir and Harry was second son.

Yes it was a total f-u to real life Harry and it was hilarious! Cast an ugly guy in the role when everybody knows Harry was the hot one, then make him out to be a total prick and a fuck up. It was the best thing about the final season. He got some funny lines, but the producers weren't the slightest bit subtle about what they think of Harry. 😄
