Is Harry happy?

Rosina you are probably right!
Perhaps some subjects/threads are best avoided!

I don’t like Megan’s choice of clothes, a black dress in the afternoon is a no no for me, but I liked the colour of the dress she wore for the christening.

I think they are attempting to act as a catalyst Jalima; when certain posters join a thread, comments displaying aggression and intolerance of other's opinions start to appear. It has been much evident over the past few months.

I didn't mean that as criticism of your OP fluttERBY123 which sounded more concerned than anything else.

But some of the posts are just, well, words fail me.

I can understand people making the case for Republicanism as they are perfectly entitled to do (something I have thought a lot about but decided I would not vote for if we had a referendum) but some of the sheer nastiness says more about the posters than about the RF.

As the OP I can only say I was just a bit worried about him. I once sat on a sofa in Hillsborough Castle that Harry had vacated only a fortnight previously ,and therefore feel a deep-seated attachment to him. He is so smiley, or was, and I wondered if I was imagining he looked a bit stern these days. Others have noticed as well, so my post is answered.

I can imagine it - he was complaining about having to wear that hot uniform and she said it's OK for you, I have to wear these high heels, at least you get to wear comfy shoes and he said oh do stop whingeing and she said you may be a prince but don't speak to me like that and he said you shouldn't have burnt the toast this morning, time you learned to cook .......

Oh for goodness' sake, leave them alone for a bit.

Perhaps they had just had their first 'tiff'
It happens.
(well, it did with us, perhaps other Gransnetters never had tiffs.)

Lovely, muffinthemoo? Even my nan wouldn’t have worn that dreadful, fussy outfit she wore for the christening!

I don't consider the RF as my "betters" I don't consider anybody my "better", I do think it is very unpleasant to make comments about a couple just weeks after their marriage and almost wishing for the marriage to fail.

Well said lemondrizzle .

hear hear lemondrizzle

Nothing wrong in gossiping about the royals. I see wrong in giving this one family so much while other families suffer foodbanks, sanctions, zero hours contracts etc etc. People should stop looking up to this family as their betters, they aren't.

Exactly what I thought, having seen him in the news several times over the past week. However, as others have said here, he has been formally dressed in either uniform or jacket and trousers, and was undoubtedly suffering from the heat. I hope he's happy!

I know the feeling Pat1949! I did join in- goodness knows why! It gave me a laugh anyway with the thought that she was chosen by the establishment and it is a marriage of convenience!!

But you did join in Pat 1949 ?

I’m really quite shocked by the question. What a lot of gossipy women. I’m leaving this thread, get on with your own lives and leave them alone.

When people say "oh leave them alone", I always think, "oh if only we could"....unfortunately we can't leave them alone, the taxpayer has to support them, Should we just blindly cough up and forget they're there, letting them live their supremely privileged lives in total anonymity. Much as they'd love to, they can't have their cake and eat it. People are entitled to have opinions and discuss them as much as they want.

Oh grummpa that made me smile.

I don't really like her but its Harrys choice at the end of day.

I actually don't care whether he is happy or not. He has a privileged background, allegedly has married the woman he loves, he is not a silly teenager and is aware of his 'duties'...I'm sure he wouldn't want to join Jo Public

Grumppa, you could be so right, his retirement is a polite way of saying - he has left her for a younger model ?

Oh for goodness sake! Leave them alone! No wonder he looks miserable if everyone's commenting on how he looks and how she reminds them of Wallis!

Fflaurie, you aren’t alone in being unconvinced about the wonder of Meghan.
I’ve no idea whether Harry is happy or not, but she looked bored stiff when I saw her the other day.
The problem with marrying outside the social circle you were brought up in is that you aren’t always aware of what’s expected, whichever end of the scale you are. Most people adapt, some find it too difficult.

I don't like to see anyone unhappy. I merely observe and comment on the royal family as a committed republican.

Quite frankly, I really don't care if he is happy or not. She is an insipid (Ok all shout at me, I know I am the only one in the world that doesn't adore her). She was a second class actress going no where. Now she is somewhere, using her skills for the camera. Cloying and simpering. He has a beautiful woman on his arm, a fortune in the bank and a country who love him. If he's not happy now, he has the power to change it.
