Battling Brothers

William has a serious problem and that is William. If William had chosen to take responsibility for his life when he had the chance (which he did) and decided to stop the self pity, he would have been far more ahead than anyone else. William is the reason that William is not as respected and revered as he might otherwise be. I do not see William as some victim of a conspiracy or of even his parents. He had plenty of resources to make something of his life and made the decision to throw it away. No one forced William to troll the bars or clubs or second rate cheap resorts because the first rate resorts would not have him there if Kate was by his side. He held himself back and sabotaged himself. It is clear to me that he has spent his best years searching for something that he will never truly have (a normal mainstream middle class life) and he will never really fit in there, but he persists in living like some aristocratic country gentleman who has no worldly obligations. It is clear that he really cannot comprehend the magnitude of the life that he threw away throughout his late teens and twenties and it is clear that he didn't realize just what he will never get back. He could have made much different decisions and it is clear that he chose to live life with the expectation that he would never have to give back.

With Harry gone, another piece of his carefree life is gone and it is clear that he is unable to cope. His brother was part of that carefree dynamic and now Harry has a full life of his own and it is clear that he isn't coming back to go back to being William's PR whipping post. Like most immature people, William is abusing the victim instead of looking at himself as the source of his alienation from his brother. Or telling his wife to keep her filthy hands to herself. He could have still had Harry at his side of he would for once give back some of the loyalty that Harry has always given to him. Harry owes his brother nothing and it is clear that William refuses to accept that. It is a shame that William was not raised to give back to those who help and protect him and it is clear that he has no idea how to reciprocate anything that is ever given to him. He simply does not have it in him. How regrettable really. I also believe that William will continue to wreck his brother's reputation, which will not stick since no one cares about that dolt's opinions outside of the brainwashed acolytes and the tabloids that make money off of giving him adulation.

Exactly. Harry is getting hits, press, and positive attention and it is clear that the world has moved beyond William since it's not like William has ever really contributed anything at all. He had so much hype and adulation that he never really learned that he has to pay his dues. William became so fixated on his role as future King that he failed to develop any kind of life outside of that expectation. Harry now has a life outside of being the preassigned whipping post that it is clear that William is unable to function without Harry taking all the bad press off of his back. The recent mess shows that William is not going to be much of a monarch when the time comes and William was not taught 'process' he was taught to expect it all to be pulled together for him with no thought of giving back. It is also clear that William is unable to cope without Harry to be the scapegoat. Harry left and moved on and William has made one bad choice after another. Then the silly COVID 'tour' ended up being a hysterical flop and even though the tour was supposed to last a few days, it ended up ending after less than 36 hours and both scuttled back to England after incurring the wrath of the public and politicians in blatantly violating all the rules in place to prevent the additional spread if infection. Neither Harry or Meg were around to take the blame. They can't be blamed for William's bad choices or Kate's laziness. Now WK are unable to process the reality of this situation.

If William comprehended the reality of his situation and grasped it, he would freak out and would end up creating a situation where he would have to be checked into a hospital. He would go stark raving nuts and he would also realize just how far gone things are for him. At this point in his life, he is on the cusp of obliterating any chance of redeeming himself with his own set and soon the press will start working on him regularly. William let a consort drive out a blood prince from his own nation and it is clear that the rest of the set is seething in rage at it. Harry was more than just his brother, he was the future Duke of York and future brother of a King. Also, Charles as King would make Harry the son of a King as well and that should have meant enough to William to get William to get his wife under control or NOT marry Kate in the first place. I also think that he might reach a point where he looks around and sees nothing but enemies surrounding him. William might not think it's a big deal, but if a blood prince can get driven out due to mistreatment, it means that no noble is secure and if the nobles refuse to forgive one thing, it is  anyone who creates any kind of insecurity. Diana had the majority of the establishment on her side until she advocated overthrowing Charles and it is clear that William has likely reached the tipping point; there is no way that anyone feels secure if Harry can be driven out in order to have any kind of stable life and now everyone in the upper echelons is vulnerable to an overthrow. It means that if Kate feels inclined to take on a member of the nobility with William's support, she will and torment them until they are driven out as well. What is stopping William from doing the same to say, the Duke of Norfolk?
