" Everyone who's my age thinks the same way, " he added. " But what makes me despair is that younger people, especially girls, think she's Pretty Cool . They think she was a prisoner of Buckingham Palace , forced to talk about nothing But embroidery and kittens. "
His column followed the release of The Last three episodes of Netflix's docuseries Harry & Meghan on Thursday .
