Harry has written a tell it all book.

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

People do far worse, and write books about it, but don't have a regular slot on the GN hate figure of the week discussion.

Godwin's Law. You lose.

Aah, but I won the argument on logic.

Alegrias The analogy that other people have done far worse doesn't work. Ok, so someone isn't Hitler, therefore their actions and behaviour are fine.... no way!

Merlot I'd forgotten the Russian pranksters episode!

How about the queen had a layer intervention in a new transparency law to hide her embarrassing wealth Lots of it from investments in the slave trade passed on wealth. How about the queen is allowed see laws that affect her private interests and have a say and lobbies ministers so does Charles. And Royals spending public money freely every day of every week.

What good does that do for the public. She is pointless and powerless has no role to play in our constitution

Is everyone happy with this ? Isn't it about time people were made aware that our Head of State and all her family too are costing us a fortune and we get very little in return.

Godwin's Law. You lose.

But Alegrias do you see it as something to be proud of to sell your family - who still love you - down the river? Surely all these gripes should have been sorted out between the parties concerned in private, not sold to the highest bidder.

I think it weird that your opinion is that - to quote you - "he is not afraid to behave in a way that makes over-fifties (ish) in the UK think he's a buffoon and a fool."

Many people behave far worse and we only care about this family because Granny is the Queen. He hasn;t murdered anybody, neither has Meghan.

Results of the survey (quoted elsewhere) about his popularity:

People born between 1946 and 1964: Harry's popularity 12%

Everyone on the survey: Harry's popularity 31%

In the US: 51%

And please don't come out with the "its only a survey" nonsense because nobody tried that when it was being used to show Harry was less popular than Uncle Andrew.

Royals are allowed to get away with State sponcered corruption In public office for private gain. Queen has a say in laws that affect her private interests, well handy. And can lobby ministers. Doesn't do anything for our constitution.

I wonder what people's reaction will be when they see billboards about the monarchy going up around the country?

Will make people think so the Royals spend public money day in day out week in week out without any thought for the public purse? Why do we allow this?

Glad Harry may spill the beans People need to realise monarchy is no good for this country.

You don't know he's a buffoon. You don't know he's a complete fool. That's your opinion. The papers tell you he is, you see somebody who doesn't fit the template of a good Royal husband and you think he's a drip.

I’d made up my mind about him after he was so very easily taken in by Russian pranksters pretending to be Greta Thunberg and her father.

What a plonker!

Forward 20 years, “How My Parents Ruined My Life”
A tell all book by Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. An inside true life story of the pressures …

But Alegrias do you see it as something to be proud of to sell your family - who still love you - down the river? Surely all these gripes should have been sorted out between the parties concerned in private, not sold to the highest bidder.

I agree they don’t give a t* who they hurt , they are making money and are on the world stage, it’s what celebrities do.

I think he is a man who has found this place in the world and a woman that loves him. I think he is not afraid to behave in a way that makes over-fifties (ish) in the UK think he's a buffoon and a fool.

I think he and his wife are making untold millions and people hate that. I think M&H don't give a t***

I think the RF love the publicity that they are the wounded parties. I think that the Queen probably still loves her grandson and doesn't think he's betrayed her in the slightest.

I think people like bread and circuses.

I think I'll go and do the hoovering.

Exactly Fanny. I completely agree with your last few posts. We think alike.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck etc ?

Alegrias You don't know he's a buffoon. You don't know he's a complete fool. That's your opinion. The papers tell you he is, you see somebody who doesn't fit the template of a good Royal husband and you think he's a drip.

So when people call Boris "a buffoon", they base it on what he says and what he does, even though we don't know him personally. Ditto Prince Harry.

Sorry, last post from me on that Alegrias, but your last post made an awful lot of assumptions about me.
I thought that we weren’t supposed to do that?

Alegrias I think putting the word "man" in inverted commas is particularly childish and unnecessary. Says more about the user's attitudes than the subject of the insult

Nonsense. Inverted commas are quotation marks and I was quoting what he said.

Oh, OK. It just that when people put "man" in inverted commas like that when they are talking about Harry it often implies that they think he he is less of a man because he takes notice of the needs of his wife and family and doesn't stick to the rigid rules of the Royal family. In other words, they don't think he's very manly .

So actually my post didn't say anything about my attitudes, did it???? You jumped to conclusions and that was a wasted insult Alegrias

The papers don’t ‘tell me’ anything, thank you very much!
I do try to apply a degree of critical thinking!

I do know that I’m a very good judge of character though

I disagree Fanny, yes, and its right that we can disagree without descending into insult and invective.

I don't think he comes across as emasculated at all. (In what I see - I must say I don't watch Saturday night Ch5 documentaries )

You don't know he's a buffoon. You don't know he's a complete fool. That's your opinion. The papers tell you he is, you see somebody who doesn't fit the template of a good Royal husband and you think he's a drip.

That's unfair. Meghan clearly adores him. She's not that good an actress.

I think that he does come across as emasculated.

The way Meghan holds his arm and gazes up adoringly in all those photos (and there are very many).
She looks like she’s the proud mummy of a toddler who has just done something rather clever.

I know that you don’t agree with me Lucca and Alegrias, and I honestly do value your opinions and wisdom, but the man is an utter buffoon. A complete fool.

I have often wondered what Meghan really thinks of him.
He would drive me up the bloody wall with his constant drippy carping.
He needs a metaphorical kick up the backside.

The needs of his wife ? ‘What Megan wants, Megan gets’

“ I'm sorry to say “. Really ?

Yes, Lucca. I'm sorry because I fell for the jack-the-lad charming persona and was a great fan of his ..... but now he has shown his true colours.
