1/I can just imagine how William must feel. He met Kate when they were teen-agers, they went through their ups and downs, but at days end, he took the relationship seriously, he actually DID have a process, he actually WAS being certain she could manage it and he could commit for their entire lives. Then his brother does this reckless b.s. This reckless b.s. is why Harry NEEDS to be reckless in his love life – if that makes sense. He can’t do differently til he stops being reckless overall.

2/and I can just imagine Harry being envious of what William and Kate share, including their beautiful family. But he’s not willing to do what William did, stay the course, respect someone you have serious feelings about even if you can’t yet commit, and finally make assurances and keep those assurances and be trustworthy. That’s how you end up with what Will and Kate have. Harry wants to “insta” it and that’s just so crazy I can’t even.

This is very insightful, thanks. I hadn’t considered the instant gratification part of it.

Yup.
