Prince Harry will not meet the King during UK visit.

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?

You're right Annie. You have to have experienced being lied about and betrayed by a close family member you love, to even begin to understand what being estranged is like.

sometimes estrangement is less painful than trying to keep a very difficult relationship alive absolutely maddy and less painful than taking the risk that it may happen all over again.

How much more painful must it have been for H's family to have all of this played out in public with interviews and a book, just to make money.

Perhaps H never considered the impact his and M's revelations would have on his family. Maybe he thought once the dust settled nothing would have really changed.

It's a shame if that is the case that he never took a moment to consider that his father, brother and wider family despite loving him still, would no longer be able to trust him and his wife enough to want them in their lives.

Diana spoke of her menfolk

Even better.

Nooo GG13! You’re not supposed to say that. The truth won’t go down well at all.
According to his valet . . .
A person as untrustworthy as that is probably just as valid a source as all those rumours about Diana and her various menfolk.
A bit like the DM really.

Funny no one wants to say they wouldn't like their husband parading in an ex's jewellery.
According to his valet Charles rang Camilla most days during the honeymoon.

My ex designed and had made a diamond ring for me, I wore it every single day (including wedding to my DH and honeymoon). It is a stunning design and I always get compliments on it.

I took all of my rings off during lockdown, and seldom wear any most days (including wedding ring) now unless I am going out to lunch or dinner.

Syracute , you need to be more inventive in your attacks on posters on this thread.

Most, I would say, feel contempt for H & M, for their endless complaints, their freeloading and their inability to support themselves without recourse to their royal connections they affect to despise.

What you read (so avidly) on here is not bone-picking hatred but rather, well-informed mockery which owes little to readership of the Daily Mail, as reiterated in your unoriginal and rather dated attack against those whose views you don't share.

Maddy I believe people have to experience estrangement to understand the pain it brings.

I would like to add that estrangement doesn’t mean that you cease to love and care about the person, it just means you’ve chosen to protect yourself from further pain.

maddyone Sun 12-May-24 23:31:51

I wrote a long post about my estrangement from my sister a few pages back. Estrangement is difficult, incredibly painful, and usually happens as a result of much provocation. Well it did for me anyway. Therefore I think we have to leave Charles and William to make their own decisions about how to proceed. I can assure posters that whatever the decision made, it is painful. But sometimes estrangement is less painful than trying to keep a very difficult relationship alive. Sometimes it’s just better to let it go and have some peace, but Charles and William have to make that decision for themselves.

It’s pretty darn sad that this thread has over 500 comments . Mostly hate and virtue signaling 🤮

You obviously haven't read it all.

I live in hope one day of reading a thread on GN about Harry and MegHan, and seeing someone say, “Oh, you know, I hadn’t thought of it that way - you may be right”. Ha!

Me, February,
Actually I've always said there are positive things about Meghan I quite like.
Any good for you, or shall I find more?

Her Mum.

They choose to sweep like vultures

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 12-May-24 21:27:57

‘I only read a bit of the thread’. Why bother reading any of it, let alone posting on it, if you find these threads so distasteful?

Anniebach Sun 12-May-24 21:25:01

And you are no vulture Syracute ?

Syracute Sun 12-May-24 21:23:17

I read only a bit of the thread because it is always the same posters with the same ugliness , shameful comments. I do on occasion speak up as otherwise it is just the usual bashing inspired by Daily Mail reports . It takes usually 5 minutes for a critical DM article to be posted until the usual H and M vultures come out to start their flesh eating, bone picking comments !

Grannynannywanny Sun 12-May-24 21:20:42

I noticed this thread a couple of days ago and dipped back in today to see if it had run out of steam. I naively thought there surely can’t be anything else left to criticise about a woman we don’t know. I was wrong. Even her toes are fair game. Honestly, it baffles me 🤷‍♀️

You Iam are judging posters , please stop accusing posters of
hatred

Iam64 Sun 12-May-24 19:46:11

Agree Syracute - I’m always stunned by the hatred expressed on any h and m discussions. I continue to feel the relationship difficulties in the RF hurt everyone directly involved. We aren’t directly involved. Many of us will have our own experiences of estrangement. Every estrangement is different, painful, distressing and life changing
People are often quick to judge and criticise those involved. Awful isn’t it
