Princes William and Harry are among the most privileged people on the entire planet. And yet the media scrutiny to which they've been subjected, for a life they did not choose, is unfathomable. It's only gotten more intense since they were kids. I wish this kid well, in a life I wouldn't want, for all the money in Britain. (Or lots of it, anyway.) And I wish his parents, especially his mother, safety. Because I'm afraid she's gonna need it the most.
