Isn't it marvellous that Prince Harry has sought to share his thoughts on climate change, by giving a "barefoot speech" No me neither confused in front of a load of grandstanding c'lebs worthy and notable high profile people in Sicily. As a lesser mortal I'm so grateful that these up their own backside individuals, amazingly aware and magnanimous folk are there to give us guidance on looking after our planet. I'm just wondering about the 114 private jets parked up on a runway somewhere in though Sicily shock Oh never mind minor detail!

I am now angry. When there is a discussion on rolling news
about Megan’s latest antics up pops Bonnie Greer , a black American, yapping on about racism

SirChenjin Sat 03-Aug-19 10:07:19

Exactly Anniebach

The more I hear about this pair the less sympathy I have for them and the ‘difficult time’ they’re having from the press.

Anniebach Sat 03-Aug-19 08:37:39

Harry is Megan’s way into this life style, a tv actress wouldn’t make it.

The hotelier was also asked not to allow his guests – or his own family – to use the building’s balconies

Sod that for a game of soldiers ! Imagine being on holiday and being told you can’t look out of the window or use your balcony just incase you should set eyes on a bunch of overindulged hypocrites quaffing champagne? Yeah right .

Oh these precious luvvies!

With helicopters circling the perimeter for days beforehand, those living nearby said organisers also set up floodlights to shine on to the surrounding road, to stop anyone taking photos or watching with binoculars.

A hotel owner complained that he had to give police the names of his 14 guests – who were then forced to keep the shutters down to prevent them from peeking. The extreme security measures left them unable to enjoy the sunset.

The hotelier was also asked not to allow his guests – or his own family – to use the building’s balconies.

Planet Harrywood?

Jangran99 Fri 02-Aug-19 21:58:10

Another mis-judgement on Harry’s part. He really is losing the huge affection he once enjoyed ,for the empty adulation of the numpties he and his wife seem to prefer.

Pantglas1 Fri 02-Aug-19 20:09:43

‘Hollywood p**s Take’! Rather apt for the occasion?

Callistemon Fri 02-Aug-19 20:05:51

Well, he can't be Harryward the Woke because he hasn't woken up to the fact that his and his wife's carbon footprint is very very very large.

Anniebach Fri 02-Aug-19 19:19:00

Like it Terri ?

TerriBull Fri 02-Aug-19 19:07:15

............or what about Harrywood the Halfbaked!

Callistemon Fri 02-Aug-19 18:10:34

AKA Hereward the Exile
shock

SirChenjin Fri 02-Aug-19 15:50:48

Ahhh... got it now, thanks smile

merlotgran Fri 02-Aug-19 14:35:30

A piss take, SirChenjin. Hereward the Wake?

SirChenjin Fri 02-Aug-19 13:55:40

Harryward the Woke

My brain is clearly not functioning very well today...what's the Harryward reference?

Callistemon Thu 01-Aug-19 22:54:59

varian and miss out on a freebie, being driven round in Maseratis? Presumably they have all had to take 'their people' with them too, from security to hairdressers, advisers to gofers.

What else can we say really ?

Gonegirl Thu 01-Aug-19 21:32:43

I love the "Harryward the Woke" too. Hope it catches on. And gets back to him.

Gonegirl Thu 01-Aug-19 21:31:01

But they wouldn't have got their luxury seaside jolly then varian, would they?

Anniebach Thu 01-Aug-19 21:27:20

I agree notanan

varian Thu 01-Aug-19 21:06:12

Could all these owners of private jets and luxury yachts not made the same point more effectively by staying at home?

notanan2 Thu 01-Aug-19 20:58:18

Harry takes after his mother not his father.

That is not a compliment.

notanan2 Thu 01-Aug-19 20:57:36

The carbon footprint of the likes of google is HUGE.

Charles was an environmentalist long before everyone thought they were. Di was a manipulative piece of work who portrayed herself as the only "caring" royal when the caneras were rolling and was hell bent on discrediting and making a mockery of Charles in every way she could...

.... none the less Charles always did a lot of low profile low "glam/glory" work on the topic and is actually IMO one of the most principled royals.

merlotgran Thu 01-Aug-19 20:57:20

I love that. grin

SueDonim Thu 01-Aug-19 20:53:54

I have been away in a remote area and have missed most of the news including about this conference.

I did however see a very funny reference to Prince Harry about his Vogue interview, calling him Harryward The Woke. grin
