From his point of view, it very much is. I have no sympathy for him at all, but in terms of empathy it's easy to understand that he'll be completely crushed by losing his nice house and his shiny titles.
Because his entire identity has been defined by a life of titles and privilege. Losing those - becoming a commoner, one of the plebs, an ordinary person - will be devastating to his narcissism. It will also affect his ability to earn money, because most of his "business" dealings relied very much on his position.
Does this bother me? Not at all. He almost certainly belongs in prison. And he's being thrown under the bus by his brother - or more probably by his brother's court advisors - before more news comes out.
Even so. This kind of fall from a great height happens very rarely, and there's a certain lurid fascination in wondering how it's experienced.
And he still has his supporters. There was an organised post storm on Twitter today from various minor establishment hangers-on complaining how unfair it all is.
But but but... It's a fundamental part of his identity!!! /S
