To me the Harry and Meghan story is the story, again, of populism. Their wedding gave it away, they’re absolutely obsessed with celebrity. Oprah Fucking Winfrey in the front seats of the Chapel. Now they’ve severed all royal ties. The difference between royalty and celebrity, is that royalty is an institution, with associated responsibilities. That’s populism, the cancer of our time. Where TV stars become President, and royalty become TV stars.
