is “evil.” His mother died, when he was twelve, in the crash of a car that was being pursued by paparazzi. Harry is part of a family that, he argues, feels that it makes sense for him to be humiliated and his wife subjected to racist taunts and threats and for both of them to be lied about if it means that people closer to the throne will look better. And, if one accepts the premise of monarchy, in which it’s the crown that must be protected, it actually does make sense.
