It was a roller coaster, wasn’t it?

I have seen and heard all I need of the Harry and Meghan business. I watched and read because that’s what I do, not because I wanted to.

The reality of news is a lot of news is not the stuff you’re actually interested in. But to dismiss the interview is to pretend something big didn’t happen because essentially you’re a snob and you find it beneath you.

The numbers will tell the story. CBS was claiming it will be bigger than the Super Bowl and that’s as big as it gets – well, for sport anyway.

Not that this was sport, or was it?

Meghan was suicidal at one point of her pregnancy, that can’t be dismissed. The fact Harry didn’t really know what to do can’t be dismissed either.

And the fact ‘The Firm’, the family, didn’t seem to know what to do comes I am sure as no real surprise, sadly.

The Queen is spoken of highly at all points. It appears the queen is amazing, but the rest of them not quite so much.

Charles not taking Harry’s calls is super uncool. I can say without a shadow of a doubt as a dad that you never stop talking to your kids.

But having flown with Charles once for 11 hours from London to Singapore, he's weird when you see him in the flesh. He’s surrounded by weird people so in a sense that doesn’t surprise me either.

We got into the tragic: ‘Kate made me cry or I made Kate cry and someone sent flowers’ - are you serious?

There was the bit where she didn’t have a clue what she was getting into with the Royal Family. That’s on her and her husband, given he might have been able to give her a bit of a heads up.

The claim 'The Firm' were worried about Archie’s skin colour is about as disturbing as you get, but once again, I’m not in shock.

The unfairness of all this is what ever was said the royal family can’t fight back. Perhaps more importantly, nor should they or, nor would they want to.

This has been a tragic and undignified spectacle by a couple who, for whatever reason, felt shunned or alone or bewildered or lost, and basically gave up and ran away.

And if giving up and running away brings you happiness, then all power to you.

The thing about the monarchy is it’s been around 1000 years. The Queen’s been the head of it for 70 years. They’ve have seen it all, and a lot worse than this.

This will not even register in the annals of history, no matter how many people sat down to drool over it.

Harry and Meghan have got their day in the sun. I lost about two hours I can’t get back, but by next week we won’t even remember what was said.
