Make It Stop!

The real casualty is the long‑suffering public, who are being psychologically bludgeoned by a story with no value beyond its refusal to stop existing.

Harry and Meghan’s propaganda machine is a constant, grinding churn designed to exhaust the public into submission. Every day we’re hit with recycled narratives, weaponised noise engineered to force our attention their way. It’s a digital foghorn blasting in our faces; in other words, torture.

At times we’ve looked to the Palace for relief, only to discover, repeatedly, that they are passive‑aggressive enablers through their own leaked counter‑messaging. One moment we’re fed heartstring‑tugging images of a cancer‑stricken grandfather desperate to see his long‑lost grandchildren; the next, we’re told the Palace is bewildered because there’s been no official confirmation from Harry’s camp… again.

We know these sentimental mutterings are Palace briefings because they’re faithfully reported by Rebecca English, queen of the majestic leak, in every recent article she’s written.

Every Royal activity is now tied to Harry and Meghan’s eventual arrival on UK shores, from a family dinner in Scotland to Catherine climbing three peaks.

And whether the King does or doesn’t meet Harry or Meghan, or does or doesn’t get a photo with the USA‑dwelling Prince and Princess (what is that all about?), it won’t make any difference. Just another round of stories analysing the visit by the exit used, the entrance chosen, or the number of minutes allocated for tea.

We need to prepare ourselves for six months of speculation, swinging from heartfelt celebration at supposed “progress” to hostile briefing wars with scathing assessments delivered by both camps.

“Whoever is behind them seems to have mistaken a brief tea and a slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles.”

For six years now, we’ve had stories about Catherine’s efforts to reconcile the brothers, urging William to make peace with Harry, and the 2026 version released today offers no new twist. We had a brief, welcome diversion in 2025 after Harry’s BBC interview, when it was claimed Catherine had changed her mind about helping him because he said he “wasn’t sure how much longer his father had left.” But let’s be honest: after Oprah, Spare, the docu‑series, and the Duchess‑led leaks about the “Royal racists” in Omid’s book, it’s far more likely to be a case of Harry who?

It’s all quite sick, really.

The damage isn’t to the monarchy; they’re probably benefiting from the extra attention, whether from the media or from the duplicitous duo from Melodramacito. The real casualty is the long‑suffering public, who are being psychologically bludgeoned by a story with no value beyond its refusal to stop existing.

Does it stop us looking at what really matters?
