When will Harry and Meghan leave us alone?

Is anyone else starting to feel harassed by Harry and Meghan? There’s no escaping them. Open Spotify and there they are. Browse Netflix and you’ll be invited to hear ‘their truth’. The one we already heard on Oprah? Not again.

The line the Sussexes love to spin is that we’re intruding into their lives. In truth they’re intruding into ours. They won’t leave us alone. I half expect to wake up one morning and find Meghan outside my apartment with a megaphone telling me yet again about the time a senior royal wondered what colour her baby would be.

Guys, give us a break. Stop washing your dirty laundry in our personal spaces. It’s feeling a little stalkerish.

We’re expected to be disturbed by the stiff upper lip of the old-world royals. I’m far more disturbed by the trembling lower lip of modern celebs like Harry and Meghan

For a supposedly private pair, Harry and Meghan sure like telling us about their lives.
