Ok, here goes, i really do feel for Harry, we see a Royal who must act and deliver as only a Royal can do, BUT that Royal is a human being just like each and everyone of us.

I am not getting into a debate about Megan, its Harry that i so feel for. I truthfully belive that the loss of his mum plays a HUGE part of all this tangled mess that is happening right now.

For 1 thing he shares my birthday ( hahaha true, but im just throwing it in the mix )

I travelled down to London for Diana's funeral, the streets were absolutely packed like sardines, punk rockers stood next to grandmas, every nation was stood together in united grief and we all watched as 2 boys walked behind their mums coffin, and those i stood next to cried, we all cried and i said to myself there and then, the time will arrive when they act upon this huge huge loss and i believe that time is now.

He didn’t raise it.

He didn’t have anything to do with the match, other than turning up. His appearance did encourage presence encouraged other wealthy ‘on the circuit’ people so the charity was grateful for that. He was repaid by a positive publicity shoot.

Quid pro quo I suppose.

The thing is to begin with they thought he cared. That he was with them.

I think it’s sad.

Harry's heart might be in the right place, but why then is there such a massive gulf between what he preaches and what he does? The private jet should concern and irritate us because only a few months earlier when he launched his eco-travel initiative Travelyst, he defended his actions saying that "99 per cent" of the time he took commercial flights, however he occasionally used private jets to "ensure my family are safe". Well none of his family accompanied him to that polo match, so why the private jet? Once again his words are far from the truth he would have everyone believe.

I remember them saying they might move to South Africa. I suppose nowhere near as glitzy as the US though.

Apparently they discussed moving to New Zealand with the governor general when they visited there. Maybe they just went round all the countries saying they'd like to move there?

I meant if I my son's behaviour made me worry about his mental health I would do all I could to persuade him to
seek help. Harry needs help as others have said , and out
of the public eye but he chooses to stay very visible and vocal
so maybe he's playing it .

Either Harry or Meghan is Harry's worst enemy. I suspect the latter.

I would hope any charity would refuse a donation that came from 'Prince Harry's bombshell book', but I doubt they will.

So you would rather people in Africa suffered, just because you are prejudiced!
What exactly do you mean by that comment, Trisher?

Well eazybee Sentebale would get money, it deals with people in Africa. Less money, less help-people suffer. You don't like Harry so you think no charity should benefit from his book- that's prejudice.

It's the main fundraiser for Sentebale. He started Sentebale. He went to the main fundraiser.
What did you expect him to do at the event Peasblossom?
Why is it sad? Because he expects a charity he started to carry on running without him?
Do you imagine Charles organises all the Prince's Trust events?
It seems a great pity that your antagonism to Harry should cause you to rubbish a charity which is still doing great work.

No it is not prejudice.
It is the possible content of his book, described as a 'bombshell,' which causes me concern. My opinion is based on his behaviour towards his family since leaving Britain and the comments he has made about them in public.
