Prince Harry's Spiral

Spoilt from birth, Pampered and needy, Being the spare an inherited curse, Leading to actions often quite seedy. Great aunt Margaret blazing the trail Questionable choices aplenty, Drugs and alcohol steering her sail A life of regrets, vacuous and empty. Followed by Andrew possessing of valor But aimless and vain in every respect, His choices a mess, cause of great clamor, So by way of example what to expect? As to his mother, that heart-shearing tale, The lovely Diana Princess of Tears, A tragic figure determined yet frail, The ultimate victim to her own inner fears. But a glass half empty is a mindset of sorts, Blindly ungrateful to privileges bestowed, Clouding his mind with nothing but torts, Leading the spiral down a winding dark road. We the onlookers can only but hope That time and experience will yet prove the key, Shielding his fall from that slippery slope, Grasping the change which for now he can't see.

I have no sympathy for the 'spare, I feel for the late Queen especially over the Oprah interview. wonder what will happen if the USA authorities kick him out for his drug taking... as for Meghan and Andrew - I best not give my opinion lol. Great poem! hugs Jan xx

Thanks for the kind words and yes...quite a shame for him, his family and the institution. However a leopard may change its color but not it's spots.
