Sometimes – if I may mix metaphors for a moment – the proof of the pudding comes straight from the horse’s mouth.
Whatever you think about the decisions that Prince Harry has made, and the way he has gone about implementing them, watching his appearance on James Corden’s show one thing was simply undeniable.
He’s happy.
Away from over-choreographed photo shoots and Zoom appearances every bit as awkward as the rest of ours, it was great to see him talking naturally.

As they say in his former life in the military, at ease.
He seems like a man with the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders – laughing, joking, excited about his future.
Surely even his most critical detractors must be grudgingly pleased that at least the historic moves he made were not for nothing.
Admittedly, it was also bittersweet, seeing Harry like this and being reminded of who he really is and why we had such warm feelings towards him in the first place.
He would have been – was – such a great asset to the Royal Family, especially with Meghan by his side.
It’s really hard not to wish that things were different.
But it’s probably better all round if, instead, we just concentrate on wishing him well.
