Seems a bit harsh? All that way too. He landed in the UK a few hours ago. Without Meghan and the children.

From the Telegraph just now:

“ The Duke of Sussex will not meet the King this week, the Telegraph can reveal.

Prince Harry, 39, landed in London on Tuesday morning and had made no secret of his hopes to see his father during his visit.

But a spokesperson for the Duke said: “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.

“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”

I just think if the King doesn't ’find time’ to see his son then Harry might well just think ‘sod it’ next time/if he comes over.

I know Harry bad mouthed the family in his book ‘Spare’ but still …

What do you think?

Thanks for those who let me know I'm not alone.

nadateturbe - wise move. I don’t understand the anger those ‘sone posters ‘ have towards this man and his wife. Humanity?

The news footage of Harry arriving shows, and the commentator talks of, the cheers he receives. www.google.com/search?q=harry+arrives+at+st+pauls&oq=harry+arrives+at+st+pauls&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDgzMDZqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:750d4c61,

Well, I did hear cheering and thought "someone loves him".

I won't post any more. Or read....

Royalists and Republicans. Labour and Conservative, always

With you Nada Despite his privilege he has had a lot to deal with in childhood as I mentioned before. That leaves a mark through adulthood.
I don’t understand why there is so much vitriol round him and his wife. Nothing they do affects any of us so why the constant negativity. I am sure he’s a perfectly ok bloke, with faults as we all have.

Yes, Joseanne, frumpy is the only word.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 09-May-24 16:50:29

What do you think of his interviews and his book, nadateturbe? The lies which were told and the insults to his family?

There are video clips on YouTube that show Harry being booed when he went into the cathedral/ church.

We haven't walked in Harry's shoes. I'm sure he's not an evil person.
But obviously in the minority.

Of course he’s not an “evil” person but he seems to be a jealous, self-pitying and vindictive one.

Joseann Thu 09-May-24 16:42:52

Yes, the jacket is too long, school ma'am!

Joseann Thu 09-May-24 16:42:16

He he, I'm a bit of a fashionista, silverlining, Town and Country is one of my go to sites!

silverlining48 Thu 09-May-24 16:42:13

Perhaps lose the jacket….

silverlining48 Thu 09-May-24 16:38:38

Where do you see all this stuff joseann. I watch and listen to the regular news every day but havnt seen harry with the Spencer’s or Diana’s sister who I am sure is not frumpy (and if she is so what? ). smile

Harry did greet the Spencers in a very effusive -- clingy-- manner. My guess would be that they hadn't seen each other in ages. Diana's sister looked a bit frumpy, sorry! She doesn't have the advantage of Diana's height.

Well, maybe 8 of 10 on reflection!

It was a spokesperson for H who said he was hoping to see Charles so no Dickens I don't think the media is partly responsible.

Nothing needed to be said but if it hadn't been, there'd have been no spotlight on H's victim hood mentality.

We're always the parent in the relationship true nadateturbe and parents have just as much right as their AC to look after their mental and physical well being.

Being the AC in the relationship, doesn't mean you can treat your parents and wider family so abhorrently and not be on the receiving end of any repercussions. That should be the difference between being a child and an adult child.

It was a spokesperson for H who said he was hoping to see Charles so no Dickens I don't think the media is partly responsible.

I meant partly responsible in relation to the amount of coverage that some give him and his visits - or even what he is doing in America.

There might only be a few column inches in some broadsheets but the tabloids make a meal out of it.

So much drama, evil who has said evil? criticism of M
brings hate fest, seems some have no knowledge of dislike

Surely we all know that if Charles actually wanted to see his son then half hour out of 24 woukd not be hard to find. No need to cancel a garden party, pop along afterwards for a cuppa. It’s not like they can do it in a week or two, they live tens of thousands apart.

Anyway it’s none of my/our business and will say no more.

Anniebach Thu 09-May-24 16:27:18

They are not known to the public so no use to M

Calendargirl Thu 09-May-24 16:22:36

I suspect Harry gravitates to the Spencer side as he has no one else really.

I wonder if any of them have been to the USA and stayed en famille with H&M?

Anniebach Thu 09-May-24 16:15:28

Quoting scripture? Honour thy father and mother .

maddyone Thu 09-May-24 16:09:11

Compassion yes, but remorse is expected first.

How about compassion for Charles and Catherine?
