To be perfectly fair, Werner's family does have a legitimate grievance here. They were promised a very influential connection with the Crown and then had the rug pulled out at the last minute for what seems to them to be extremely spurious reasons.

That doesn't excuse the boy's vile personal conduct toward a blameless member of the bride's family - it was a clear example of punching downward - but his motivation for doing so is not entirely without foundation.
