Wills and Harry rift blown out of proportion

I doubt William had no problem being asked publicly about racism in his family following the accusations made in the Oprah interview.

Well I'm not sure that I would be particularly thrilled if a close relative held an interview that would be broadcast worldwide trashing my family with what are now proven lies, financially profiting big time courtesy of a TV programme portraying my family in a less than flattering way, again a lot of it pure speculation, or financial accusations that actually a 36 year old millionaire ought really to be able to sort out for himself. Surely these difficulties should be sorted within a family privately not on the world stage.

And doing so knowing that the other party will not be able to comment in the same way, i.e. by appearing on a television programme.

If anything I think the rift/hurt is more between Charles and Harry.

I agree Annie about the general decorum between eeveryone at the funeral.
They gave nothing for the gossip mongers to feed on.

Sorry meant for nanna8

Well that's just a silly comment.
They have sources in every walk of life.

Any criticism of Harry and Meg is classed as hatred by several.

We can’t judge yes or no re there was no tension, the royal family are trained from childhood how to behave in public.

I have read William and Kate have returned to Sandringham

Who would bother feeding them? They make it up anyway.

I dont agree nanna8 they print what they are fed.

Well what would we know? Only what the media makes up and we all know they are a pack of lying hounds.

more kindness is what is needed
I can wholeheartedly agree with you there Wwmk2

I would be happy with a more dispassionate discussion tbh

I think your answer belongs on another thread grany.
It doesnt seem to be in reply to the points ExD is making.

What is "hate fest" about that?

Nothing, and I’m sure the article has a ring of truth about it. But it has been such a relief to see a whole page of threads without any reference to M&H and W&C, with the excuses to post spiteful little references to the family living in America.

I just wish we could have had longer without such nastiness.

More kindness is what is needed.

Corrections:
some - don't - think

So, here we remain, lodged in this Quiet Dystopia, made up of part sleaze, part extreme deference, part Opposition incompetence, part spectacle of nationalism and royalty, but laced also with an unhealthy dose of authoritarianism.

As Belfast burns and Philip is buried, we are awash with sycophancy and mind-numbing trivia about what costume Andrew will be dressing up in or where Harry will be standing.

Oh dear - the door is opened for more hate fest. Just watch this thread and see the spite.

Not sure that was anything but at least a spiteful dig Ww2?
Pity.

I'd like to agree with you Exd but I think it's much more than a fallout.
So.w things are better either unsaid or discussed one to one in private.
Well the genie is out there and there is no going back.

And anyhow does Harry want a relationship with the RF anymore?
For that matter does William?

How do we know.

For what it's worth I do t think the press has done anything to further the problems.
In fact I thi I they have been used to stir the pot.

Oh dear - the door is opened for more hate fest. Just watch this thread and see the spite.
