Prince Harry wanted a completely new life and he has got one.

Once upon a time, Harry was royal and rich. Now he's just rich Marina Hyde

He is no longer a working royal, but a rich person. His Rich Highness. This involves a change of mindset in a mind that is somewhat hard to describe as quick on the uptake.

Being rich is all well and good, of course, and the duke certainly moaned enough about money when he was still within the confines of royal duty, to hear insiders tell it. But the reason you don't see Beyoncé out there on the talkshow circuit whining about how much money she has to spend on security - easily eight figures a year - is that she, a very rich person, seems to understand that regrettably it goes with the territory, and that you have to pay for it out of your riches.

Kim Kardashian was this week expected to take the stand in the Paris trial of the robbers who tied her up and subjected her to a truly horrific ordeal when she was staying in the city in 2016. At no point during her examination was she expected to say that François Hollande, president at the time, should have intervened via the workings of the French state to provide security.
