Couldn’t resist grin What do you all make of Prince Harry’s latest venture into the world of public speaking?

Well they do, stick together, that is. But Meghan made very sure that the only person Harry stuck to was her.
Harry cannot speak well in public, which makes me wonder how he was able to command his men in the army. Seriously.

I was about to pass comment that Meghan hadn't been criticised for anything yet, and lo and behold, here we are! A Meghan complaint!

is that you complaining? puzzled

Commenting. Don't sweat it.

How do you account for the fact that that rag the daily mail
have supported a black outspoken woman: Kemi Badenoch.

Ah, the daily H&M bashing thread is here grin

Smileless2012 Tue 19-Jul-22 17:02:37

I don't think anyone's saying he shouldn't have made the speech Ladyleftfieldlover, it's what the speech contained that people are commenting on.

I don’t think it was Eaton which is the cause

Summerlove Tue 19-Jul-22 16:58:23

I had been unaware he'd done a speech until I saw this thread. bit blowhard, but I find most speech's of this type the same.

Yes, I think the point is Harry wants everyone to take notice of him and to admire him, but he is going the wrong way about it by contradicting what he says in his speeches (eg. private jets when lecturing on the environment or saying he knows little about US politics then proceeding to criticise their Constitution). Hence the so called bashing he gets. He is very mixed up.
I'm surprised his Eton friends have dissed him and his wife in print. I thought those types stuck together whatever.

he's wife wrote it!

I read that he was invited to give the speech. I doubt he wrote it himself. He has a voice so why shouldn’t he use it? IMHO the right wing press ruined it for H and M. They could have been brilliant but journalists such as P Morgan obviously couldn’t cope with a black, divorced and outspoken American. Harry is far enough down the succession now for it not to matter if he speaks his mind more than his brother can. Although Charles has never held back! Does anyone think that rags such as the daily Mail go into anti H&M overdrive when this Tory government is behaving even more badly? Like now. Is it called dead-catting?

When you make public speeches the content of those speeches is going to be commented on isn't.

Yes, of course it is.

If you don't want to get 'shot at' then don't stick your head above the parapet!

What did Eton teach him: entitlement.

Smileless2012 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:40:44

isn't it.

Harry bashing again..

Smileless2012 Tue 19-Jul-22 16:05:49

I think you could be right 62Granny.

Why should Megan not be criticised ?

Didn't say she shouldn't. Said I was surprised hadn't been already.

62Granny Tue 19-Jul-22 16:04:16

For somebody who has had a top notch education he isn't particularly good at public speaking, you do wonder what Eton taught him? It wasn't public speaking. I do feel he is burning his bridges from both ends.

Calendargirl Tue 19-Jul-22 15:57:19

Didn’t want to disappoint Gagajo.

eazybee Tue 19-Jul-22 15:51:57

Oh well, if you want one!
An unauthorised biography has been published and one thing has emerged amongst all the tittle-tattle which I do believe to be true:
Meghan has no sense of humour.

Digressing, as we do, but saw pictures of Meghan with Gloria Steinem, holding her hand, not sure where they were going or what it was about. Meghan was smiling at the camera though!

Someone unkindly asked if she ever managed to do anything on her own, without holding hands with another person.

eazybee Tue 19-Jul-22 15:04:59

Because criticising everyone and everything is now his modus operandi.
