Prince Harry says William attacked him during row

This is where the position of the royal "clan" of Windsor and the various Lords in Britain mean the families inherited their wealth, position and esteem and did not earn it. The consequence of growing up in such rarefied environments is on-show when one observed any of the royals in front of the camera - they are actors, participating in pomp and ceremony. They believe that is their service.

On the one hand it is easy to describe them as social leaches living of the collective wealth of ordinary British people but also the collective wealth from the commonwealth where booty was plundered from hapless colonies for several centuries. They are the living embodiment of colonial exploitation and theft.

But on the other hand the constant scrutiny of the media/public and has it's toll. They are cut-off from ordinary people. The idiosyncrasies and weird habits/demands they make on servants is a sign they are conditioned to believe in a medieval class system. Within the royals there hierarchies. If you read Harries memoirs they are front and centre of his gripes. Despite the obvious privilege he constantly compared himself to his peers and his anger of the perceived (whether accurate or not) unequal treatment by the media.

I read that Kate Middleton stoked the fires of tension even before Megan set foot on British soil. Megan was a fashion blogger and her acting on suits might have influenced more than Harry. Markle exclusively wore dresses designed by Erdem Moralioglu who at the time was the most exclusive fashion label worn by US celebrities. There was some debate whether She popularised the label among A-list celebrities.

Some months before Megan's impending wedding Kate Middleton suddenly chose to wear Erdem Moralioglu dresses. There is a royal code where the wife of the future King can pick a designer and due to royal heirarchy only she can wear the design in public. Kate's decision prior to Megan's arrival is thought to have been deliberately provocative and intended to show Megan that she had power when it came to fashion over the then suits actress. It was in this environment of tension that further spats over flower girl dresses at the wedding erupted. It appeared megan's dislike of Kate wasn't without pre-text.

The royal family has always had lots of problems that go beyond Princess Diana and the way she was treated so I would not be surprised if William beat up his brother. After all, look who his father is and I don't like him as he's not only killed Diana but his own mother.

Since when were the royal family synonymous with the state?

Where do you get this nonsense?

I believe that is simply your OPINION.
I see no reason to disbelieve him.

The reason he is grovelling is that he went too far, and there was a tremendous backlash, and he has lost a contract from Amazon and may be concerned about further consequences.

Virtually, the entire media industry is a disgrace.
Biased reporting to service a narrative.

Media elements supporting either political leaning act disgracefully, based on what I have seen.
No binarism here.

It's more a matter of any than either.
Some are worse than others, generally the more tabloidish they are, the worse they'll be.
For some reason tabloids seem to mostly trend in a certain direction.

Yes, but I was using a specific context.
A "Political one", not an opportunistic one to sell "newspapers".

It was so funny. He completely brought that on himself, and now he's in jail. mwah hahahahaha!

Murdoch Press of course

same thing...consequences = backlash

However you want to paint it...he knows...he knew. Let's not kid ourselves.

I can mock the left-wing press, also.
Perhaps I am being partisan when I mock both sides.

How am I kidding myself?
He was out of line, and he got his arse whipped big time.
I am having trouble understanding where you are coming from.

To be klear, I am not defending him.
Are we on the same page now?

There's a left wing press is there? Where? Where? *looking*

I think he means VICE, the Guardian and the BBC

The BBC has become the favourite scapegoat for rightwingers who blame them for injecting woke in all their media, especially historic documentaries.
