I just listened to a video of a broadcast out of Britain in which an unrepentant journalist admitted that he and his peers at a particular newspaper DID INDEED HACK and PERFORM OTHER ILLEGAL TACTICS TO MONITOR - STALK - AND GET INFORMATION ON THE ROYAL FAMILY. Further, a "journalist" from another such tabloidish paper said, in so many words, the battle was already won because these papers are extinct or on their way out, based on sales of the publications and WHY DOESN'T PRINCE HARRY GET ON WITH IT.... These two are not part of the court hearing. They are unashamed of their illegal behavior and took to slinging at Harry. SHAME ON THEM.
Journalists MUST hold to professional standards - not stalking, not spying, and not hacking - or there will be no more HONOR in being a journalist. Their illegal and unpunished behavior lowers the standards for privacy in society as a whole.
I've heard the criminals blame the victim for the damage done to them in many situations and basically, if nothing else, Prince Harry is processing the damage to his psyche, which he likely stuffed to survive for many years. Perhaps the British "stiff upper lip" is all about emotional repression. Think about what you have stuffed in order to appear unhurt.
Further the Get On With It and ignore the crap, is very much part of TOXIC POSITIVITY. Is British culture all about toxic positivity?
