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.

^Apparently Harry is now saying that, 'Quitting work can be good for your mental health because many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that don't bring them joy.^

Online people are saying "How would he know?"

Isn't it wonderful the world has Chief Impact Officers, would that involve boxing I'm wondering hmm

It's certainly heartening to know that "Quitting work can be good for mental health" although did the Chief Impact Officer give any pointers as to how one goes about the dreary nitty gritty such as providing day to day necessities if one hasn't any financial reserves, or worse still one's father withdraws their financial support I wonder shock

Hey Harry all those people living in tents up and down the state of California might have quit work for the sake of their mental health and now they have to live on the street, somehow I don't think being homeless is going to improve anyone's mental health hmm Impact that!

....and each pronouncement he comes out with makes him sound more and more stupid and out of touch.

Maybe you can accuse him of plagiarism now. Or worse still - sounding like an American shock

Yes, so we can add that to Germanshepherdsmum's problems list. Things always come in threes.

Harry’s first problem was that he was the spare. He married his second problem.

I like that, Germanshephersmum. Nicely put and tells the story in a nutshell.

This is not going to end well.
Neither of Harry's parents behaved well but they both loved him; now in his thirties with his own family he has everything he claims to want ; free of royal responsibilities, a very privileged lifestyle with the wife he chose to marry, an assured income and a new life, yet increasingly he reveals himself as bitter, spiteful and inadequate.
He blames his father ( for what, really?) yet his brother underwent the same trauma and is making something of his life, whether or not it is the path he would have chosen.

Estranged from his whole family and surrounded by people exploiting him for their own ends there is no -one Harry would listen who would show him what a pig mess he is making of his life.
The real tragedy is he thinks he is avenging his mother.

I'd have loved to quit my job for the benefit of my mental health! Great aspiration! But who would have paid the (modest) mortgage, put food on the table, clothed my child? He doesn't live in the real world.

He looks like a young Henry VIII

Absolument!!!!! Oh yes he does! The rare pictures of HV111 as a young stud? He's the absolute spit. He's also showing similar qualities in the "I want it all my own way!" tendencies department too.........

Sparklefizz, we wish...... Imagine the peace, the quiet, ......

Well this is what you should have done GSM, dressed yourself up in sparkly sequins and tangoed off into a Side Hustle . We all have the wherewithal to do just that! your niche would have been out there somewhere you probably didn't look hard enough sad

I read an article the other day which said " she was placed on a peddle stool "
No idea what one of those is.

Mummer Mon 06-Dec-21 19:00:56

Why daddy surely? Honestly what are you thinking? We all "deserve" to be happy at everyone else's expense ..... doesn't one?

maddyone Mon 06-Dec-21 19:10:46

Oooh Calistemon we might be related. My granddaughter and my sister have red hair. How exciting!

Josianne Mon 06-Dec-21 19:11:48

In the book I read (yes, the chewed up one), it said Meghan's dog in Canada took a dislike to Harry and wanted to protect her from him. Maybe he could sniff out pent up anger or something?!

I don't know where it comes from maddyone, neither DH nor I are really auburn - mine has a hint and his beard is was red!!
Two recessive genes?
So yes, we could be cousins ?

I think MIL was a redhead but she dyed it as it had gone grey.

Yes, I agree, I was just thinking that the other day.
