I was so saddened by the interview with harry and megan , why would two people who have got exactly what they wanted are happy to create such pain for others

I am only guessing, of course, but William dared to advise Harry to take his time over courting Meghan and not to rush into anything. Harry did not take kindly to it.

I expect he’s always been peeved that he wasn’t born first. Historically it’s happened before. Perhaps it was a mistake to call him Harry ?

Oprah has stopped her Oprah show, as she and Harry are co
producers on that Apple thing possibly they have plans ?

maddyone Thu 27-May-21 10:00:21

I think if I’d been born royal I’d have been relieved if I wasn’t born first. Why would anyone want to be the monarch?

Oprah cancelled The Oprah Show in 2011.

Got to admire her planning skills.

I wonder why Oprah Winfrey was invited to the wedding. It has been said they had only met her once just before the wedding. I wonder if that’s the truth. It does seem strange that Harry and Meghan have now apparently teamed up with her so closely. Was this always the plan? Obviously I don’t know, but I think it all strange. It’s obvious why Oprah’s in it though as it pushes her name world wide and presumably makes her a lot of money (not that she needs it!)

Peasblossom Thu 27-May-21 10:11:06

No idea maddyone but it does seems to be a recurring theme in royal households?

lemsip Thu 27-May-21 10:19:15

Harry was incensed with rage that William advised him to take his time and get to know Meghan..Harry unfortunately thought meghan fell in love with him but, it was the title and prestige she loved

lemsip Thu 27-May-21 10:22:33

Meghan's mother being the only side of this 'women of colour's s family at her wedding was a 'statement' in my opinion

maddyone Thu 27-May-21 10:24:36

It was certainly strange lemsip.

The problem with the nonsensical suggestion that one side is good and the other bad

I totally agree, which is why the Harry Hater comment was highlighted, and discussed.

Why are people criticizing earnshaw for this post? The clue is in the title, if you are not interested move on and don't read it!

With regard to the post, I think Harry needs to man up and get on with his life, living in a luxury mansion with soon to be two beautiful children. He says William is trapped and unhappy, yet William and Kate are always smiling while Harry is miserable and never stops complaining. For a grown man in his late 30s to complain daddy has cut him off is absolutely ridiculous and an insult to the rest of us who have to work for what we have. I feel for his children, what sort of example are they setting when all the do is whine and complain?

Jaberwok Your post of yesterday at 22:57. You are spot on and I honestly can’t understand why certain posters defend such awful behaviour. It’s malicious and smacks of bullying. He knows he can say whatever he wants and they won’t/can’t defend themselves. Even if he speaks the truth why is he broadcasting it to the world? Money is the only reason. Shame on him.

Jabberwok Thu 27-May-21 12:45:26

Oh yes,of course, William's advice didn't go down well, but to try and wreck his life because of it does seem somewhat extreme. Thank you tickingbird, this sort of 'vengeance ' towards your own family which, even if it were true, does begin to seem to be bordering on, dare I say, insanity? What the RF can do about it goodness only knows, but I do wish it would stop especially for our elderly Queen who does now cut a rather lonely figure and simply does not by anybody's standards deserve this torrent of abuse. Just awful.

trisher Thu 27-May-21 12:53:42

Gosh_ vicious, manipulative, vindictive, stabbing in the back, twisting the knife, vengeful, malicious, bullying, It's probably just as well none of you hate anyone, goodness knows what you would say about them. Although actually much as I hated Thatcher I wouldn't use such language about her. In fact I can't think of anyone I would use these terms about. Particularly if I didn't know them.
As for "man up" I thought such phrases went out with the ark. Anyway he's done the "man up" thing, he was in the army wasn't he? But like many other men "manning up" didn't do him the world of good.

What ever therapy he is having it’s wrong, therapy is to help one find peace of mind not revenge

Do you mean this thread ?

I’m just curious as to why earnshaw started the thread then never returned ? (If I’ve missed a reappearance I apologise)

tickingbird Thu 27-May-21 13:07:24

Oh please trisher give it a rest. It’s so evil to say someone’s manipulative isn’t it. You’re backtracking on yesterday’s posts about your hate. Pity you don’t take such a stance over a man making a living out of trashing his family.

Lucca Thu 27-May-21 13:10:02

Just a thought. Would you like threads to have an addendum saying “this is what I think don’t contribute unless you agree “?

Grany Thu 27-May-21 13:18:01

Republic

You can write to your MP ask two questions

1) Do you agree that the monarchy should be replaced, perhaps sometime after the Queen's reign is over?

2) Whether or not you support the monarchy, do you accept that in this day and age there should at least be a referendum on whether to keep the monarchy? Would you support a referendum being held at some point after the Queen's death?

Gannygangan Thu 27-May-21 13:24:05

I saw that Republic had to make a public apology to H&M

www.marieclaire.co.uk/royal-news/prince-harry-meghan-markle-receive-public-apology-738532

I don't think the British public has the energy for another referendum. I also believe that all this H&M stuff has created more support for the RF than they have had in recent years.

Jabberwok Thu 27-May-21 13:50:11

I agree, I think people are in sympathy with this never ending onslaught which has in fact made the monarchy more popular. I'm an unashamed monarchist, always have been, so that for me is a upside to this sorry saga. Even so, Harry, if you have one ounce of compassion for an old lady who loves you can you please stop this soul bearing after your next riveting revelations and give this poor woman a bit of peace.

I thought you said earlier that his military career was good for him? Maybe it was someone else but I was saying they had a duty of care for him and even if he liked it in the long run was it a good thing for him?

I do think some people aren't suited to military service as so many do end up screwed up and socieyt isn't always great at looking after them.

I think it can stir things up, obviously you hope to work through it but I believe you can go through a phase that is difficult. I've never had therapy but I know people who have and this is how it seemed to be for them.
