While recollections may indeed vary for many of Harry and Meghan’s version of how they endured royal life, many on both sides of the pond will be wondering where exactly this all ends.
For the millions who set their alarms yesterday for this latest episode of the Harry and Meghan show, there was far less fire and brimstone from the Duke and Duchess of Montecito than many had predicted.
This was a more measured approach compared to the rawness of a fireside chat with US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, but in some ways it will be no less damaging to relations.
If anyone was in any doubt (perhaps even the Sussexes, given eye-rolling reports of their plans of a rapprochement with the royal family next year) there now stands precisely zero chance of that happening.
Senior royals have grown weary of the couple’s constant barbs towards the family even before this latest instalment of muck throwing.
Particularly damaging to Harry’s torched relationship with his brother is the recurrence of the Panorama interview with their tortured mother that both her sons were united in condemning and agreeing should never be shown again.
William and Kate also being painted as a pair of stiffs trapped in a brutal system from which Harry and Meghan gloriously freed themselves is also completely wide of the mark.
Sure, the Prince and Princess of Wales might be more at home in the Brecon Beacons than cruising round Beverly Hills, but for years I have seen first hand the genuine warmth they exude both at home and abroad.
Harry’s claims of having a second family will also hurt his father, who in recent times has extended more than one olive branch, and this is before Meghan’s wholly disrespectful and cringe worthy account of having to curtsy to the late Queen.
The royals will no doubt be rolling their eyes at this latest money making venture and collectively wondering when the circus will finally leave town.
