Harry’s ‘pop’ at Charles

Harry has apparently had another pop at his dad this time regarding the payment for honours debacle. Harry seems to keep on attacking Charles and I wondered if there might be a particular reason for this. In all of the multitudinous reports on their estrangement I haven’t seen anyone wondering if H is doing this because he believes/knows Charles is not his dad. I am not suggesting that is true but it may be his ‘truth’ as others have put it. Perhaps it would go some way to explain his seeming lack of belonging. Just musing on a grey day, please feel free to wade in or not as the case maybe.

Harry has denied he introduced the millionaire, Harry always
speaks the truth doesn’t he, but in fairness perhaps like his
wife he has forgotten

Let's get this right Harry and Sentebale accepted one donation from this man,they met once and then say they cut ties with him. Charles accepted millions, met the man on numerous occasions, awarded him a CBE, his aide has resigned and the matter is being investigated by both the Met police and the Charity Commission but it's Harry being criticised on here. But of course no one hates him do they?

But....but...but... Harry baaaaddd!!!

Meghan made him do it! (Even though they hadn't met then.)

But it's Harry who has jumped in here to give his father a kicking.... again.

They met more than once ,

Harry met him in a pub then met him again in Clarence House, just happened to be Charles’s home.

So sorry, only just noticed and in case no one has corrected it; Elizabeth II is descended from Margaret Tudor who married James IV of Scotland; Mary Tudor married Louis XIII of France, then Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk.
One of the reasons I like royal families; their family trees are fascinating.

Oops, correct, thanks eazybee.

Yes, it was mentioned but not in such detail, eazybee, thanks for that.

And better documented than most.

I do feel sad for Harry because he has alienated himself from his own family and from most of Meghan's family too, whereas William has been embraced by the love and security of the Middlwton family. I read recently that the Middletons are good friends with Charles and Camilla too.
I remember the days when Harry used to holiday with Kate's family, visit them in Berkshire and be friends with Pippa and James. I'm not saying he should live in their pockets at all, I'm just sad that he didn't grasp how important it is to have extended family who don't speak to the press and who would have supported him through thick and thin.

It is indeed very sad when there is estrangement in any family. I speak with personal knowledge of this, because my sister who had, and still has mental health issues, estranged her entire family many years ago, and the estrangement lasted for seven years. It was very painful for those of us who she estranged. One of the casualties was the children, who never regained the closeness with their cousins that they’d had before. Therefore I think it very sad that Harry and Meghan are estranged from both their families, and that this is played out in public. If this continues, their children will have no relationship whatsoever with their cousins, or aunts and uncles. They also have only one grandparent in reality. It’s really very sad.

Can't help this started with his meeting and marrying Meghan who seems determined to undermine the Royal Family.

He needs to grow up. What is he, a perpetual grumpy teenager ?Him and that dreadful, common wife of his need to just pull their heads in.

Lucca Thu 09-Dec-21 07:09:28

“ dreadful, common wife ”. Dear oh dear, did you honestly just say that ?

Alegrias1 Thu 09-Dec-21 09:17:56

If only he'd married somebody refained none of this would have happened.

trisher Thu 09-Dec-21 09:45:12

She's American as well. A nice English girl from an aristocratic family would have been better-but hang on didn't his dad try that? This isn't a family where many mariages last anyway.

Lucca Thu 09-Dec-21 09:46:02

I’d love to know what Nanna8 finds “common”

Josianne Thu 09-Dec-21 10:33:14

I think the "common" bit comes from the comments about Harry's girl being straight outta Compton that were all over the press.

maddyone Thu 09-Dec-21 10:46:20

I think those comments were out of order.

nanna8 Thu 09-Dec-21 10:47:31

Yup - common as muck.

Lucca Thu 09-Dec-21 10:55:16

nanna8

Yup - common as muck.

What do you mean ???
Can’t believe in 2021 the word “common” is still being used.

Does that mean it’s ok for Nanna8 to say that ??

nanna8 Thu 09-Dec-21 10:56:50

Of the lower orders, not the right type at all don’t you know. Perfectly beastly .

Lucca Thu 09-Dec-21 10:57:40

Sorry, but are you now saying you are being sarcastic ?

Alegrias1 Thu 09-Dec-21 10:57:55

nanna8,

I know you think you're being funny, but I think you need to be careful about your language. Seriously.

nanna8 Thu 09-Dec-21 10:58:02

Oh for goodness sake. I thought you poms had a sense for humour. Clearly I was sorely mistaken.

Alegrias1 Thu 09-Dec-21 10:58:55

Yes dear, we love a bit of implied racism. Even when its unintended.

Just a bit of banter, innit?
