Harry is giving out intimate details of the inner goings on of an institution of the sort that is very rarely seen or heard. There’s no way they’re going to ignore it, especially not when there’s a market for it.
As for his self importance, well there we disagree - he’s suffered serious childhood trauma (divorce, death of a parent, public glare, weight of expectation and a frequently distant father). No amount of nice dinners or palaces can remedy that. He has needed, and has clearly not had, serious input from mental health professionals.
What we’re seeing now is the self-destructive behaviour of an adult with unresolved juvenile trauma. If he’d grown up in depravation the manner of his self-destruction would probably have been drugs and crime. A ‘respectable’ middle class upbringing would probably have helped keep a lid on overt bad behaviour but it might eventually have manifested itself in a series of abusive adult relationships. As it is, his tendencies have been kept locked away for as long as he was within the family fold or away on military service and under military discipline. Now he’s married to someone with a purely Hollywood-inspired outlook, you see the results. Not that this is Megan’s fault; just that his marriage to an American actress inevitably moulds the way in which his damaged psyche finds voice.
These are all generalisations of course but this is what happens to the children of broken, abusive homes, time and time again.
