I agree with you. As a I commented a few weeks ago on Facebook, the senior Royal family members are like birds in a gilded cage. They live in a very beautiful and lavish cage with many perks, but they are in a cage nonetheless. Their lives are not truly their own.
I don't blame Harry for wanting a life independent of the Royal family. He knows he will never be King. For him, the advantages of leading an "ordinary" (although still very privileged) life outweighed the disadvantages. Time will tell if he made the right decision.
