Just seen Harry has written a tell it all book, well with a ghost writer anyway. What on earth is left to say? From what I understand it’s his life from his viewpoint along with lessons for us all. I’m beginning to feel sorry for the rest of the RF. where is it going to end.

I was prepared to have a laugh about the title of Harry's new book earlier, but what I have just read about waiting until after the Queen's death to publish the second one is both distasteful and out of order.

Yes, just heard it was four books and thought how awful for the Queen to know he has written things to be published after her death because he doesn't want her to see them. It just keeps getting worse! I can't believe how savagely he has betrayed his family. I can't see how they can ever forgive him for this.

Oh really Germanshepherdsmum? That sounds awful.

How can they live with themselves?

Just heard he has a contract to write four books (the mind boggles) but second won’t be released until after HM’s death. Something nasty in that about her or Prince Philip I guess. So that hangs over the RF - and they expect to have the Christening here?

Well as it's extremely unlikely that if we were to have a Head of State that s/he would be everyone's choice Alegrias, there'll always be a percentage of the population who'll just have to take what they're given.

That being the case, I'd rather it were the RF.

Calendargirl - Are you a political agitator ?
I’d rather have you for Regent ?

Calendargirl Wed 21-Jul-21 18:33:02

Meghan for Regent!

shock

Anniebach Wed 21-Jul-21 18:30:02

Yes , thank you Calendargirl I had forgotten the little ones.

Calendargirl Wed 21-Jul-21 18:25:51

They should stop traveling together, after Harry comes Andrew !!!!

After Harry, it’s Archie and Lilibet!

Then Andrew.

Ellianne Wed 21-Jul-21 18:21:39

Meghan Lost Her Marbles I've never heard that name before Infinity2!
As a literary scholar, I saw this kids' book on Anazon which I thought encompassed the themes Meghan likes ...... mermaid, Pearl, illustration, though I don't think she is the author!

Sparklefizz and Calendargirl, I would imagine the Cambridge family will be travelling together in a helicopter to the Isles of Scilly for a holiday this summer. So potentially, although it doesn't bear thinking about, they could all be wiped out.

I live in dread of anything happening to Wills and Kate

If it did, God forbid, it wouldn’t move over to Harry.

The order of succession is;

Charles
William
George
Charlotte
Louis

Only then is it Harry.

Of course, George would not be old enough yet, but a regent would be appointed, seeing as Harry has ‘stepped back’ don’t suppose it would be him.

But he is way down the pecking order to be King.

Hmmm....if only there was a way we could choose who the Head of State was, instead of just having to take what we're given....

I live in dread of anything happening to Wills and Kate. I think they’re lovely, and the children are adorable.
I don’t know how the succession would run, but in the event of an disaster I think you’d have civil war in the country before the people would accept the two clowns formerly known as Prince Harry and Meghan Lost Her Marbles to rule over us. We’d be looking at a revolution rather than having them on the throne.

Me too, Infinity. I wish they wouldn't all travel together in the days when they used to be able to fly somewhere. Once upon a time that wasn't allowed.

I wish Harry would be removed from the line of succession. I would much rather have Princess Anne on the throne if there was a crisis, or even Prince Edward (not Andrew, obviously, although the latest polls have shown that Harry is even less popular than Andrew .... he must be at rock bottom!)

I think further down the line in years to come, when the marriage goes pear shaped. Since ppl don’t marry for life anymore. Hes going to think what have I done. By then our Queen will have gone and maybe even his dad. And he can’t take back anything he’s said.

Sparklefizz Wed 21-Jul-21 11:41:41

As someone said about someone else on a different thread:

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Ellianne Wed 21-Jul-21 11:21:39

For Harry this well known saying comes to mind.

Ellianne Wed 21-Jul-21 11:19:18

The entire royal family are hostages in a way in the lives they have to lead.
Running away is fine, but I believe you take your baggage with you.

lemsip Wed 21-Jul-21 11:15:44

Calendergirl it meant he was meghan's hostage..........he had said or shouted 'what meghan wants meghan gets'

Pussy whipped is the phrase some use here. Probably originated in the good ole US of A.

That phrase is such an insult to any man it is attributed to.

maddyone Wed 21-Jul-21 10:51:50

That suggests Harry was having difficulties for quite a while doesn’t it?

Calendargirl Wed 21-Jul-21 10:48:35

Before he left the UK, certain courtiers referred to Harry as ‘The Hostage’. Apparently.

maddyone Wed 21-Jul-21 10:22:59

Gosh, what a revolting phrase nanna8.
