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.

There's a photo of the D of E as a young man I remember seeing when he died and H is the spitting image of him.

IMO H's a nasty piece of work who should leave his family alone, just as they do him.

When Harry had a beard he was the image of a young Philip taken when he too had a beard. Unfortunately the resemblance doesn't run to loyalty.
I have a horrible feeling about all of this will turn out for Harry,

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.

Very true, and after the experiences with Margaret, Andrew and Harry as spares I do hope that someone is considering the futures of Charlotte and Louis before it's too late again.

George V1 was the spare. And Margaret carried out her royal duties, didn’t give interviews to the press.

I think Charlotte and Louis have much better adjusted parents and they seem to live a pretty ordinary family lifestyle, so far as anyone in that position could. Charles had little experience of family life and parental love when growing up and Diana had her own problems, much as she loved her children.

May I venture to suggest that if H and M did ‘shut up “ and if any royals stopped giving interviews etc posters would be bored and have nothing to moan about ?

And you will no longer have a handy thread to pounce on.

Quite right Lucca, but I do enjoy a good moan!

lemongrove Tue 07-Dec-21 09:12:01

You can suggest it Lucca....but it wouldn’t be true as there are plenty of other things to moan about.
Boris Johnson ( the absolute fave one for posters to moan about)
Brexit...ditto
Covid
The weather ( add your own at this point)tchgrin

I think the price of eggs in Tesco’s is always a good one to get folk riled up.

That poor woman had a sad life and never appeared to be happy. If that's what we expect from the spare we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Here's a style of RF I could live with.

Diana was said to cover her red hair with blonde dye. However I think Harry looks like Prince Phillip sometimes. Harry may wish he was ordinary as others have done. Fact is they woukdnt find it as appealing if living on universal credit. I was in my 50s before I had a foreign holiday. Worrying about how to afford presents with one wages isn't great either. So he is very lucky the public are interested and pay their taxes. I love the Queen and the Queen Mother but others need to stop the whinging and knuckle down.

Thank you GSM !! We all do of course.

Lucca you would so miss threads on Meg and H, you never
miss one thread

maddyone Tue 07-Dec-21 10:00:15

Quick, switch on The Jeremy Vine show, this very thing is about to be discussed.

merlotgran Tue 07-Dec-21 10:09:18

Well I hope they hurry up and get on with it. I’ve got a wardrobe to paint.

And then I can enjoy myself watching it dry. ?

As Is my right !

It's my yuman right to moan!

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 07-Dec-21 10:27:06

It is Calistemon. I’m never so happy as when having a good moan.
I’m looking forward to their divorce. It will all be played out in public, lots of their respective truths to enjoy!?

Calistemon Tue 07-Dec-21 10:41:06

Oh no! I won't go that far (poor children!)
And Harry might stop spouting such rubbish.
What would we moan about afterwards?

SueDonim Tue 07-Dec-21 10:55:50

Well, I’ve just read an article about Charles and Harry’s relationship through the years with a side dish of William. I quite enjoyed it. I think I’ll look for more such articles, which means I can put off writing Christmas cards and making up beds for a bit longer, in the interests of research. grin

Josianne Tue 07-Dec-21 11:02:44

I'm sure Lucca doesn't look that evil (cat photo!).

If H & M disappear from the scene Im sure I could still find something else to moan about. I think there will, however, be a lot of "I told you so's" if it all goes wrong!
