I feel sorry for Prince Harry

After looking at all the news reports etc I have come to the conclusion that Harry is really stuck in the middle of his wife and the RF. Meghan married Harry very quickly, which can cause difficulties in ‘normal’ families, but with the emotionally constipated RF it was a disaster waiting to happen. If someone like Diana, who had experience of royalty couldn’t cope with the way of life or the hold the courtiers have over proceedings, how could a feisty American. Catherine has only managed it because she and William took a very long time to get her settled into the RF.
Moving to a new country, getting married, having a baby and trying to fit into the RF is a heavy burden, and then being bullied completely by the press is enough to make anyone crack. The daily mail is still dredging up anyone they can to slate Meghan and Harry.
Harry is trying to protect his wife, and according to recent reports, has tried to initiate changes but has been rebuffed at every stage. I would think that seeing the photos on the Queen’s desk didn’t show him or Meghan or their son was hurtful and an indication that they no longer counted. The further photos of the 4 reigning/next in line would surely have pushed home that point.
Harry has slumped down the line of succession, the same thing that happened to Andrew, Anne and Edward. But they had each other to share this change of status and that surely made matters easier.
I think Harry feels very alone and impotent and is trying very hard to change things for his wife, but has had to make a huge fuss to get anyone to listen. If you add in his own personal problems then I am very surprised that he is still trying to go forward instead of just giving up. Perhaps now the RF will abandon their stiff upper lip and treat Harry better than they did Diana.
Sorry for long waffle.

If Markle senior was a gransnet poster what advice would he be given?

Oh Sh*t, I missed GGMk3's post so will be forever ignorant unless some kind GNetter can send it to me. It's amazing the involvement of some disinterested posters .........

And I bet he doesn’t put the beer cans in the recycling bin

Baggs Wed 15-Jan-20 20:06:29

Haha! Hope so.

merlotgran Wed 15-Jan-20 20:05:31

Maybe he's wearing a 'Sod Veganuary' T shirt.

Baggs Wed 15-Jan-20 20:05:21

PS grin

Baggs Wed 15-Jan-20 20:04:42

That's the most shocking thing I've heard about Harry, meryl!

GrannyLaine Wed 15-Jan-20 20:04:15

GGMk3 was that a deliberate attempt to add another whole page to this thread. ? ?ROFLMAO

Baggs Wed 15-Jan-20 20:03:48

I didn't read it either, merlot. Just a quick scan and then thought "blimey!"

MerylStreep Wed 15-Jan-20 20:02:20

Merlot
You forgot the sneaky fag. He stopped when he met Megan. ?

Chewbacca Wed 15-Jan-20 20:01:37

I wonder if Harry just sits around in his underpants and string vest when Meghan isn't around? hmm

merlotgran Wed 15-Jan-20 20:01:26

Was it a proper post? I thought GracesGran had meant to copy something and scrolled way too far down before pasting.

I didn't bother reading it. grin

Baggs Wed 15-Jan-20 20:00:23

For someone who might not have an opinion, ggmk3, your involvement in this thread is astonishing.

SirChenjin Wed 15-Jan-20 19:59:59

I am in awe (genuinely!) of your copying and pasting prowess there GracesGran grin

ExD1938 Wed 15-Jan-20 19:59:15

I like your image merlotgran, but I think Harry should have been down the pub with his mates.

maddyone Wed 15-Jan-20 19:58:06

That must have taken you ages to post Gracesgran grin

Chewbacca Wed 15-Jan-20 19:54:06

What a long post just to say that you're not interested GracesGran! grin

merlotgran Wed 15-Jan-20 19:52:06

Iam, I can't believe you took my post seriously.

Wow since posting my views earlier today I had no idea (or maybe I did)that it would stir such emotions and I do believe it’s because we are all of an age to see life as it is. SHROPSHIRELASS I AGREE 100% wish I’d written my thoughts in a sealed envelope at the beginning. Wish we could have more thoughts and time for penniless homeless children ! Not those rolling between country estates ..... on tax payers finances ..

SirChenjin Wed 15-Jan-20 19:46:25

Love it Merlot grin

Anniebach Wed 15-Jan-20 19:42:47

? merlot

Iam64 Wed 15-Jan-20 19:42:16

Of course, I accept, what do I know? Like everyone else, I'm projecting my own feelings onto PH and MM.

Iam64 Wed 15-Jan-20 19:41:51

Sorry merlotgran - I understand you think it's a nice image and of course, you prerogative but, I don't see it as nice image. I also see it as highly unlikely. I'm sure he's finding this situation stressful and wishes it was over.

merlotgran Wed 15-Jan-20 19:40:14

Allegedly Harry is delaying leaving for Canada to spend a bit longer thrashing out the Megxit deal.

I expect that really means he's slobbing around in Frogmore Cottage, ordering takeaways, swigging from cans, watching Netflix while texting his mates with his feet up on the coffee table they were given as a wedding present from Soho Farmhouse. grin

Maybe not but it's a nice image.
