BBC ánd Prince Willuam

William has proven his worth to the British people

Really, what as? Posh bloke with a nice wife who does some charity work?

I don't mind William at all, seems like a nice chap.

I don't have any siblings so I don't project my sentimental feelings on to people who do.

Guess I'm just a hard-hearted old crone.

(Cue pile-ons )

It is high time our ‘State Broadcaster’ was held to account for the poor quality of it’s ‘journalism’. Some of us have been aware of it for years but we are usually shouted down

I’m saddened, but not surprised, that the Harry Haters of Gransnet are using this thread to spread lies and rumours once again.

Sorry you feel the need to shame gransnet members who form a different opinion to you Alegrias1. Now that seems childish in the extreme! I didn’t feel shamed in the least just concerned at the level of anger you live with. Very bad for your health I would think.

Yeah, I'm a hard-hearted old crone. Self confessed.

Agree Alegrias1

I have been annoyed and disappointed with the BBC for years, not over this particular issue. But I would be very careful about hastening the demise of the BBC even when it is driving me to distraction in some areas.

Well I'm not a Harry Hater. I'm yet to see any lies on this thread. I'm not a Harry Lover either.

What has happened is the BBC news broke yesterday and the Apple mental health documentary was aired last night.

So the two things have merged.

Anyone watching Breakfast TV or reading news media online will have seen news about both.

SKY news is headlining with news about the Harry documentary.

I dont see anything negative in being hard heartened old or a crone.

And this isn't the press twisting his words. This is Harry speaking out and using the media to air his thoughts.

Hopefully they will be Kamiso. I don't know if anyone remembers or watched his interview with Michael Jackson. There were some sections where MJ was shaking and visibly upset which raised questions about his mental health.

Unbeknown to Bashir, he was being filmed by MJ's team and when that was released, what had been edited out of the original documentary showed how a line of questioning and/or comments made by Bashir to MJ had clearly upset him but as they were edited out, it helped to show MJ in the worse possible light.

An insightful and rather disturbing revelation of the tactics used and not dissimilar to the ones used to secure the interview with Diana.

The BBC and Martin Bashir behaved disgracefully. They are both beneath contempt.

I watched the interview and i posted my views. I don't anymore but do read the threds.
Alegrias, even though I disagree, does actually have better opinions than the lines of emojis and sighs I was given by her at the time. That poseter has gone thankfully, so at least these discussions have a bit of meaning.

not emojis by Alegrias, I meant susie

That's all really uncalled for Lillie.

We don't talk about posters who are no longer posting on Gransnet, especially not in such a derogatory manner.

So Megan supported Harry having therapy but he didn’t do the
same when she felt suicidal !

Alegrias1

Harry has been banging on for years about the toxic impact of the press but now Saint William has said the same, suddenly it's all true.

William and his family came to an agreement with the press to support their own needs but Harry told the press in the UK where they could stuff it. Good on him.

I also agree with Alegrias1.

Alegrias. I agree.

This thread seems to have turned into a William v Harry thread. Should it not be about the disgraceful way Bashir acted and the BBC's subsequent cover up. There are many who were at the controls of the BBC at the time who should be called to account for targeting those who raised concerns and allowing the cover up.

I feel sorry for both of Diana’s sons.They have been through so much.Shame on you BBC.

Totally agree Oldwoman70.

Thank you Smileless.And my mistake reading several reports that it wasn't in his statement but on Apple TV so my previous was inaccurate on that .However I was pretty stunned to see his comment re Dodi Fs ethnicity.Diana was hounded in latter years full stop.

I don’t think it’s so much about Diana wanting to and telling the truth in the interview, but that Bashir lied and played on her insecurities filling her with paranoia just as William’s statement said. William is that little bit older than Harry so realised things Harry may not have been aware of or understood at the time. Harry’s is the raw emotion of a younger child.

Martin Bashir is not white. 25 years ago the BBC would have found it difficult to look impartial and politically correct had they not believed him.

I am relating this to something that happened in my own family around the same time. Our 12yr old DS was beaten up at school by a gang of boys. It was, it turned out, an Asian gang. The school were apologetic but explained that it was a sensitive issue but they would investigate it. Nothing was ever done. The school were terrified of being thought racist.

Last night's documentary was important. It has made me realise how easily Diana could have been sent headlong into paranoia by being shown fake evidence.

William has now come forward .
Where is Charles in all of this??????

Alegrias1, why are you adding fuel to the fire by labelling PW a ‘saint ‘& PH ‘banging on about ‘ ?

Sorry, should I just shut up and let everyone else got on with it?

Dream on.
