Prince Harry will not meet the King during UK visit.

Glorianny

Funny how those who support Harry become targets as well. The Spencers simply turned up for a service that really should have been recognised by our RF but wasn't because of a family spat. That's petty.
Considering the world wide recognition of the good the Invictus Games have done one of them should have had the grace to attend.

But there was a member of the Royal Family there.

Iam anger for lies and cruel words and actions

But how do those actions affect you personally? I don't get it at all.

Quite.

Charles adultery? No affect to any of us, likely to Harry.
Harry walking behind Diana? No affect to us, likely to Harry.
Camilla's image transformation? No affect to us.

Much complaining just affected Harry and the King. Not us.

Only the Spencer aunty's dress sense by me, l know nothing of her character.

Rishi's wife was there. Almost royalty!

As I already said, one member of the Royal Family was there.
🤔

Others had prior engagements which had probably been organised at least 18 months in advance.

Lovely to see the Spencers there too.

And ironically she wore the identical jade green coat that she did when she visited Balmoral as a guest of Charles!
A Claire Mischevani number for those who are interested.

I know. I thought the implication was that Harry was no longer a member of the Royal Family

👍

It’s a lovely colour, but it would look so much better without the top two rows of buttons, particularly the ones at shoulder height.

These military style jackets/coats with brass buttons are everywhere at the moment, from Boden to Monsoon. They look both smart, and casual with jeans.

Those just need a frilly or waterfall blouse/shirt or maybe a cravat - and we are back to the very early 1980s and the New Romantics Joseann!

Lovely article on the BBC website this morning about H’s visit to a charity devoted to the care of bereaved military children. Nothing on the Daily Fail of course. Just saying.

Yes it’s in the Daily Mail too LLFL with some wonderful photos of Harry with the children. You’re letting your bias slip!
🤣

Good work Harry

Prince Harry is a Global Ambassador of Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity that supports children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces.

Yesterday (9th May 24), The Duke of Sussex, who served in the Army for 10 years, attended a heartwarming event in London that brought together 50 children and young people who have experienced the death of a military parent for an unforgettable afternoon.

Scotty's Little Soldiers is a fantastic charity - nice to see them getting some publicity.

Where media attention should be, on the Invictus Games

The parable doesn't fit in this instance Norah but it appears for some, to be a convenient stick to beat Charles.

The fact that the returning son accepts what he has done is wrong, asks for his father's forgiveness and has no expectations of being received as his son, but is willing to return to his father's home as a servant appears to be conveniently overlooked when comparing H to the prodigal.

Where media attention should be, on the Invictus Games

I agree.

What though is preventing the media from headlining an article on them?

I believe Nigeria is the first African nation to participate - that's newsworthy. They, the media, could write a lot about the games and the participants - and the events. They could also, quite legitimately, mention Harry as Patron, simply as a fact - without any accompanying photo's of him.

So - why don't they? Why, instead, are there endless column inches chanelling the thoughts from 'palace insiders', Paul Burrell, royal-watchers and 'experts' - all focused on Harry - who then is slated for making it all about him?

I'm not defending the man's past behaviour - but who is making it 'all-about-Harry' if not the media itself?

He (Harry) issues a statement about not seeing his father - or his press do on his behalf - in answer to the numerous enquiries made on the matter to his press agent. Who is making these enquiries? Did you 'phone up to ask? Has GN been calling for an update? Or is it the media who have been demanding information?

... dramatic gossipy headlines about Harry make better copy than informative articles about the Invictus Games, that's the reality.

As far as the RF is concerned wasn't Harry there as founder and patron of Invictus and not as a member of RF.
Apparently Birmingham want to have Invictus in 2027 wouldn't it have been nice to see a concerted effort of the RF and government to throw their support behind this?

Mrs Sunak somehow reminds me of that poem about wearing a purple coat and a red hat that doesn't go.

H and M are in Nigeria now, they met up in London and flew off together. Horrible self-serving couple

Dickens Harry announced his father was too busy to see him,
hence the media went with this, we don’t know if there were questions about visiting his father. He has brought much on himself because he talks much about himself

Glorianny the hat is red, no mention of a coat

Anniebach

Glorianny the hat is red, no mention of a coat

No but purple is mentioned
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me
I always imagine a purple coat.

I’m not defending his behaviour either Dickens but I doubt GN would have 12 pages on The Invictus Games, so the fire is fed from flaming on here.
