Summary
The royal family's strategy of avoiding complaining or explaining much has served them well, preserving their image but hindering deep human connections. Prince Harry's interview showcased excessive self-justification and emotion, leading to overwhelming emotional overload without substantial explanations about his issues. King Charles' approach was more insincere yet less so than Harry's. Meghan, however, exemplified a communication strategy that created an unavoidable paradox with her initial vagueness. The article suggests that effective early communication could have mitigated later extensive explanations by the royal family.
