If this is true I think it's shameful!

I think they are a disgrace. To let themselves down is one thing, but to let the country and the royal family down is despicable. I have no respect for them, and would like them to melt into insignificance.

Absolutely agree maddyone and quizqueen. I never ever thought that I would feel completely that way about any member of the RF, but this does finally take the biscuit. I still find it hard to believe P.H could knowingly do this but I guess it's a case of something better turning up! We don't have Netflix so avoiding their patronising rubbish won't be too difficult!

I’m afraid this latest debacle has just confirmed what I had sadly already concluded, and that is that H+M should be completely removed from anything royal at all. Their titles should be removed and HRH taken away fully, not just not allowed to use it. Without titles their value would be low, and then they could set about earning their living in a truly independent way, like the rest of us.
I recognise it’s not nice, but I really despise them now. They are greedy, self important, entitled, and totally insincere people who deserve nothing from the British people.

Contractually, they may be bound not to attend anything the rival broadcasters are involved with. Harry should have thought of that if it involves giving up attending future Invictus Games events.

Now they will earn mega bucks with Netflix, they should be made to pay back the costs of Toad Hall and their royal wedding in one lump sum as they no longer wish to be royal, as well as funding their own security. After paying that, they will be looking for more ways to earn money but Harry must surely still have the majority of his inheritance from Diana left...over £30million, I believe.

I'm sure everyone is really looking forward to their Netflix specials telling us how we can be more woke and have hope, especially those living in cramped accommodation with no outside space.

On well. I suppose a few wounded soldiers are pretty insignificant when compared to megga bucks especially as they are allegedly looking for a beach house in Australia! Wonder if that will be before paying back money owed on Frogwell Cottage or afterwards?! No prizes for guessing, but I could be wrong!

I agree with Bluebelle and Lucca. That’s all I’m saying - not getting drawn into this subject again.

Sparkling

I totally agree with you

BlueBelle

How can you say about M+H are young? I would call two individuals who are pushing forty as being middle aged. How can you defend a person who has estranged the whole of their family except one, who was the only family member to attend their wedding? Is this normal behaviour? And in two short years the party who was not estranged from his family, is as good as estranged? How many people fill the church with world wide known celebrities as they get married, but don’t want their own flesh and blood sitting in the pews?

You may think it’s perfectly normal behaviour, but I don’t!

I agree with Sparkling! .These two were not hounded by anyone. After the Queen Harry was the nations favourite royal and nearly everyone was delighted that he'd found this seemingly lovely lady to be his wife. Time soon proved that being a supportive member of the RF was not, and no doubt never had been on the agenda of this seemingly lovely lady! Delightful charming attractive Harry now resembles a cross between an adoring submissive puppy, and a hostage we used to see on TV. The same anxious slightly haunted look we came to recognize so well. To let down something so dear (was it?!) to his heart that involved service personnel with life changing injuries in exchange for megga bucks is almost beyond belief! He should feel deeply ashamed, but I don't expect he would dare to be!!

A bit like the Boris bashing threads then, Lucca.

All bluebelle asked was do you know her
This is yet another thread (how many identical threads have there been) moaning and carping at Harry and Meghan (oh and Diana thrown in for good measure from time to time)

Bluebell, your post and personal attack on me is shameful. I was stating the obvious, she did have just one person at the wedding, he is estranged, she was welcomed. If you cannot see he had changed beyond belief, look at him, to say they were hounded is a joke, everyone loved Harry and was glad for him. It is fact, your comments supposition. .Just where was there an un truth. On second thoughts please don't reply as your comments were unkind and nasty, mine were factual. Have a nice day now you tried to spoil mine, but I don't know you, fortunately so it won't. Just another unkind response to something you don't agree with.

How do you know what she is sparkling Do you Know her? or just going by all the vitriol being spewed out by the media
I m not surprised Harry looks miserable I would too if I was hounded as much as those two young people they ve tried to escape But the media have just escaped with them a they haven’t a hope in hell they are being hounded just as much as his mother was
if you don’t like them just ignore
Just nasty

Megan, of a large extended family, speaks to only her mother, the only family member at her wedding. Harry, part of a large extended family, lived by the Nation, frequently seen with his brother and cousins, now estranged. Nothing he does now suprises me. They're part of that Hollywood and the fast money making machine where they want to be. He is besotted by her for some reason, one day he will see her for what she is and despise what he's become. Marriage has turned him into this bitter looking, fraught and greedy person. They are getting old now for that set and Harry can live with the fact he has let those that loved him down is beyond me. We hear a lot about Daughters in Law that divide and not unite. Glad I am blessed with mine.

I have to agree that Harry looks unhappy. Whatever the truth about The Invictus Games, it doesn’t leave Harry covered in glory does it?

I think you're right, Lexisgranny. It's clearly a conflict of interest as the event was due to be broadcast on Amazon with both Harry and Meghan making speeches.

As I understand it, funds were urgently required for the Invictus Games as obviously there had been little opportunity to raise any whilst the restrictions were in force following Cv19. This was to be a major fund raising event in the USA. The attendance of Harry and Meghan would have been a “big draw”. By cancelling it a significant sum will be lost. No doubt if I have misinterpreted this, someone will correct me.

Why on earth would I be p!eased?!! I don't care! But I certainly wouldn't be p!eased if I were P. H and certainly not want to.work for an outfit that produced such junk!

Isn't it just a pre-Games fund raising dinner that H and M have dropped out of? Not the Games per se. Or have I misunderstood?

* I wonder what Harry thinks of the Netflix musical about his mother? Check it out, it's not flattering!*
You sound pleased ?

Agreed M0nica, marriage doesn't seem to have made him a happy and fulfilled man. I always get the impression he's hanging on Meghan's coat tails.

Last photo I saw of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Duke did not look at all happy. His expression was one of distress. He has admitted to fragile mental health. I actually feel sorry for him.

I suspect he might be finding that he has jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.

it would not be in interests of Invictus to admit that the Duke and Duchess had withdrawn because they had put their financial commitments before the games, after all the publicity they had garnered in the past from the Duke’s patronage.

Exactly!

Just read that this story originated in the Sunday Times, rather than the Daily Mail who merely copied it.

Personally I take most things reported in the press with a pinch of salt and have no strong feelings either way, but would imagine it would not be in interests of Invictus to admit that the Duke and Duchess had withdrawn because they had put their financial commitments before the games, after all the publicity they had garnered in the past from the Duke’s patronage. Perhaps the Covid-19 served the purpose, none of us really know.

Jaberwok that's not what Invictus said.

The games were shelved for this year because of Covid and re scheduled for 2021. The are being streamed by Amazon. Prince Harry signed for Netflix in the full knowledge that he wouldn't be able to attend the Invictus games next summer. Obviously the organisers are a little upset as he was a king pin and led people to believe that he was very committed to this organisation! But there you go, megga bucks are clearly much more important than injured service personnel. I wonder what Harry thinks of the Netflix musical about his mother? Check it out, it's not flattering!
