Few things in this life are now as certain as death, taxes and Harry and Meghan being at war with the royal family.
Talk of reconciliation of any kind between these warring tribes must now be considered so premature I wouldn’t fancy my chances of being around to see it.
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may, in some quarters, be applauded for daring to find a way out of their perceived intolerable grind of royal life, surely questions must be asked of how little genuine self-analysis either of the couple displayed in their Netflix special.
Over six hours of a series they were paid handsomely to take part in, we were treated to a series of constant gripes and groans, mixed truths and half baked conspiracy theories with only a smattering of genuinely shocking allegations being raised that the royals should investigate further.
For the royals they will no doubt breathe a sigh of relief and sorrow that it has all come to this.
For Harry and Meghan, having opened the door to their private lives in a way no other royals have done before, they will find it hard to find the privacy Harry genuinely craved.
The lack of soul searching of their own decisions is an obvious error on their part which won’t sit well with the public or the family left behind.
Instead they are left having created as much division outside of the royal family as they left within it.
It is hard to see where they go from here, with barely room to breathe before Harry’s long awaited memoir hits the shelves.
