Who are they to tell us?

Harry and Dr Chris

The recent TV interviews with Dr Chris and Harry were dire.
Dr Chris looked in need of healthcare himself, frail and telling us to eat bananas beans and yogurt + vit D to keep healthy. He even had trouble remembering the good bacteria in probiotic yogurt.
Ruth Langsford, who was interviewing him, had to remind viewers that eating those things wouldn't prevent Coronavirus.
I really wish they wouldn't wheel out those old medics who used to be part of programmes years ago.
On another video I see Hazza telling, telling our government what to do regarding parents of mentally challenged children.
He looked as if he'd been pulled through a hedge backwards.
The caption said that he was Zooming with NHS staff and parents to tell them how brave and good they were and that the government should be doing more to help them.
He was talking in his capacity as head wallah of some charity or another.
Most comments said what a b*** disgrace he looked and he had no business saying anything about the UK, as he left his country, his parents, his military obligations and pals and his home and his wife hasn't even seen her father or asked him how he's doing in this crisis.
Captain Tom has done more than Harry could ever do. Not just money-wise but in his bringing together people for a common cause without any fanfare or fancy rigmarole.
Harry is a disgrace.

Really spoiling for a fight eh Gaby ?

confused

Alishka Thu 16-Apr-20 18:50:56

I don't read this as spoiling for a fight, more expressing her opinions isorl.confused

phoenix Thu 16-Apr-20 18:52:10

You're brave, suziewoozie not referring to her by her full name!

GabriellaG54 Thu 16-Apr-20 19:01:03

My name's Gabriella and no, I was simply wondering what other GNers thought.
Why ask a silly question? If you want trouble you won't find it here.

They are Gabriella’s opinions and I agree with them.
I am sure that the parents of ill children are heartened to get advice from Harry , talking about rolling around in hysterics, while spending lots of wonderful family time with his over privileged wife and child in their multimillion dollar mansion.
Just what they need.

I did note that he was trying his best to keep a hand in his country of birth. Trying too hard I'd have said, his words didn't flow as they used to do as perhaps he felt under duress at how he'd be perceived.

Captain Tom is certainly to be admired, what a wonderful old man he is.

FoghornLeghorn Fri 17-Apr-20 05:18:29

Gabriella. I didn’t see Dr Chris but I certainly agree with you about Harry. He and his wife have abandoned their lives here so as far as I’m concerned they can just disappear. Neither of them have anything of value to say and I’m astonished at their arrogance that they think they have.

BlueBelle Fri 17-Apr-20 06:13:19

Here we go, here we go ??? Lets all have a go at Harry

BBbevan Fri 17-Apr-20 06:36:37

annuity Well expressed and I quite agree.

BBbevan Fri 17-Apr-20 06:37:51

Sorry annsixty My kindle did its own thing there

GabriellaG54 Fri 17-Apr-20 08:52:48

Is everybody off limits?
Can't comment on appearance, can't comment on ex Royalty or headline grabbers or riding a horse or buying unnecessary stuff or being happy...
It's gonna be boring.

He should lecture to the country where he has chosen to make
his home and start a new life.

Smileless2012 Fri 17-Apr-20 09:04:46

I suppose he's trying to be relevant; I wish he wouldn't.

Sparklefizz Fri 17-Apr-20 09:05:00

Annie He should lecture to the country where he has chosen to make his home and start a new life.

Totally agree, Annie, and also agree with Gabriella.

Capt Tom has done more than Harry could ever do, and he is a humble modest hero which we, the public, have taken to our hearts.

GabriellaG54 I walked into the kitchen to see Dr.Chris and was amazed, maybe he is unwell as his guidance was very bizarre!!!

I saw a snippit of Prince Harry speaking to a disabled teenager and her Mother whom he had met previously, but missed his advice to Government. I must admit I thought he had left all that sort of thing behind?

I do think that lockdown has brought some old worms crawling out of the woodwork who apparently are all epidemiologists and armchair experts.

(I for one enjoy your posts GabriellaG54 especially as I am unable to run or ride at the moment)

BlueBelle Lets all have a go at Harry

I, for one, have never wanted to "have a go" at Harry. I was fond of him for years, but I can't stand hypocrisy or self-centredness or whingeing or being preached at, and Harry seems to have become good at all of these. He brings everything back to himself. He has no right to criticise anything in the UK now.

JenniferEccles Fri 17-Apr-20 09:48:01

Given Meghan’s well publicised intense dislike of Donald Trump and considering they have made the US their home , I’m surprised Harry still thinks it’s appropriate to lecture us.

I have lost all patience with him for not being strong enough to stand up to his controlling, manipulative wife.

Chewbacca Fri 17-Apr-20 09:51:38

Good post Gabriella and just as good a topic for discussion as any other.

Anniebach Fri 17-Apr-20 10:16:04

They left this country because of media coverage !

suziewoozie Fri 17-Apr-20 10:19:45

Chew really, any other? Really?

Urmstongran Fri 17-Apr-20 11:11:56

I’m another who’s with you Gabriella. What’s wrong with a good old chat about anything?

Harry is irrelevant now in the U.K. I think deep down he knows that but he’s trying. Actually, he’s very trying!
