The Harry and Meghan show is relatable. Really?

Harry and Meghan, the former royal couple, have announced their intention to return to the UK, a decision that some observers find relatable. Both Harry, the Duke of Sussex, and Meghan Markle, a former actress, have been vocal about the flaws within the royal family. Their return comes amid concerns over King Charles's health and a desire for their children to maintain a connection to their roots.

The idea that "royalty" is driven by the same concerns as those who work for a living is supported by the couple's words. However, Harry's naivety is rooted in a unique kind of warped privilege. While he and Meghan are under the spotlight, that spotlight is part of their "job" as members of the royal family.

Meghan, who enjoyed some success in Hollywood, should have known that good content thrives on conflict. The couple's detractors may claim that their "return" is akin to a new season of a reality TV show, implying that family drama in the UK will make the spotlight brighter. However, it is essential to acknowledge that their fame and recent dip in fortunes do not eliminate genuine emotional reasons for going back.

As with most individuals, royals can likely deceive themselves about their motivations. The decision to return to the UK is a complex one, influenced by a combination of personal, familial, and cultural factors.
