Reply to comment by elizabeth-cooper in Another Prince Harry book? "Spare Us!" gives his memoir the parody treatment by TellerKind
His family once subjugated 1/4 of the whole world -- how dreamy!
This country's founding documents specifically mention them as examples of what not to do -- oh to live such a life...

Okay? Nothing to do with him. There's almost nobody in the northern hemisphere who isn't currently benefiting from their [literal or political] ancestors' colonialism and there's not a whole lot any of us can do about it.

Yes clearly it's ridiculous to fantasize about being rich enough that you can only get gag gifts for Christmas because you buy whatever expensive things you want whenever you want, and to live in beautiful palaces where you never have to clean or cook for yourself but you still could if you wanted to.
How utterly ridiculous to be fascinated by these real people whose every waking personal moments are on display for the entire world to analyze.
Because some people who aren't even alive anymore did bad things that directly or indirectly benefited most of us.
