The revelations in Harry’s book have humanised the royal family, demonstrating that even those amongst the highest realms of society are affected by family drama and mental health challenges. Habib Syed: ‘Prince Harry and Meghan’s mental health will only deteriorate further.’ Rachael, 34, Oxford, copywriter ‘It has humanised the royal family’ The monarchy is becoming a laughing stock and I don’t see how it contributes to a positive image of the UK. Maybe because they are women and “outsiders”. I feel sorry for Meghan and even Camilla, I think they get unfairly blamed for breaking up the family. His remarks about Africa are patronising, and I don’t think the taxpayer should pay for his security while he is living in the US. Before the recent publicity I was sympathetic to Harry and Meghan but now I am less so as I think he shows the same level of entitlement as the other Windsors. My view of the royal family was negative before – I don’t think the UK should be a monarchy. Jane Popplewell, 60, east Yorkshire, works in adult social care ‘Harry now seems as entitled as the others’ I am now really leaning to a view that a hereditary monarchy is out of touch and stands for inequality of opportunity in our country.

I thought that relationship might herald in a changing of times. I found the comments by Jeremy Clarkson absolutely repugnant – I complained to Ipso.

However, I do now sympathise much more with Harry and consider the treatment of him and Meghan by much of the press to be reprehensible and negatively biased. I viewed the late queen respectfully and admired what I saw as her sense of duty and public service. I was brought up a royalist and really just accepted their role without much question. Jane Popplewell: ‘I viewed the late queen respectfully.’
