In a week that it has been proved that the media manipulated his mother do you think the same is being done to Prince Harry? There is something new ever day at the moment and I feel he is being used by Oprah for publicity.

He will possibly remember not having his nappy changed often
enough and tell the world

I dont know sodapop so long as it garners him cash and attention I suppose.

For goodness sake it was over 25 years ago, how much longer is Harry and others going to trade on this.

Namsnanny Tue 25-May-21 12:36:43

Harry and Meghan pay a PR company.
I just cant understand why people keep asking for the press to leave them alone.
They are actively feeding them!

GagaJo Harry has said himself that the weeping and wailing of the crowds affected him . I was appalled that people could
behave that way as a coffin passed, the mourners walked quietly
with dignity, the crowd were a disgrace.

I felt ashamed when I saw how the crowd reacted Annie, and I still am.
Their behaviour was appalling. No support for the mourners who were really suffering.
All about themselves.

I've seen the same type of behaviour at family funerals since.

I wasn’t appalled by their choice to walk behind the coffin , and
I think he was damaged by his mother.

Your opinion. We differ.

Meh.

I think I might have said more than ‘Naff off’ if the press were photographing me if I’d fallen off a horse Annie.
I have a lot of respect for Anne, she has led her life with dignity and works hard for the crown.

Anniebach Tue 25-May-21 11:33:47

When Anne endured that awful kidnap attempt in the Mall she didn’t keep on and on and on about it, she has never spoken of
her first husband having an affair or about their divorce.

When young she had the cameras clicking, no suing of newspapers, yes she did once say naff off when the cameras
surround her when she fell off her horse.

She has dignity.

maddyone Tue 25-May-21 11:31:27

She got a lot of stick from the press but did not respond.

She said ‘Naff off’ to the press when the press were taking her photograph after she fell off her horse during a competition. Maybe Harry and Meghan would do well to follow her example and tell the press to ‘Naff off.’

There are ways of handling being a member of the royal family and Princess Anne is a good example of one who has handled it successfully. She is the Queen's only daughter and during her younger days was very high profile.
When she married she decided to live quietly in the country, do her official engagements and keep her private life private.
She got a lot of stick from the press but did not respond. There were a couple of scandals but again she didn't respond.

She carried on doing what she did and building a solid work base and becoming a very respected royal.

For me it's the bad choices H&M have made, and are still making, that has led to the present situation.

Alegrias1 Tue 25-May-21 10:12:53

Why are you talking about me in the third person? confused

trisher Tue 25-May-21 10:10:05

Given a chance I wouldn't mind moving to Montecito! May has been so cold and wet.

I spent about six months in LA county in the nineties. I've got a reasonable grasp of the geography, thanks. Including Montecito and Santa Barbara county.

I find it's a common misconception that everybody in the vicinity of LA is part of the Hollywood scene.

Just to inform you.

I don’t understand how Alegrias1 said H & M were nowhere near Hollywood when she claims to have actually been there. This is now amended that not everyone in LA is part of the Hollywood scene. That is so very true. Parts of LA are now so bad with the homeless sleeping on the streets that the more affluent are moving out if they can, and the super rich all want to live in Montecito and Santa Barbara, including Hollywood stars that H&M are hobnobbing with.

Anniebach Tue 25-May-21 09:38:13

Lucca not a case of like or dislike, I just give my opinion on
her which is not shared, such the tragic accident which caused her death, she was not killed by the papps, yes they chased the
car but the choice to take that car ride was not made by them.

Lucca Tue 25-May-21 09:30:48

You really didn’t like her did you?,

GagaJo Tue 25-May-21 09:19:19

I feel very sorry for him. He has clearly been extremely damaged by the lunacy that involves being a member of the royal family and the death of his mother. And as for that walk behind her coffin... I think we all watched that at the time and were appalled.

Poor guy. I like him and feel bad for him. I really wouldn't want to be married to someone that screwed up.

Ellianne Tue 25-May-21 09:08:22

Wow a geography lesson now just to derail the topic!

Alegrias1

They are nowhere near Hollywood. Where did you get that idea?

Just to inform you Alegrias, as I know you don't follow them, Harry did his bus tour round Los Angeles ..... a sprawling Southern California city and the center of the nation’s film and television industry, Hollywood.
In terms of American distances H & M are on the doorstep of Hollywood and use it for their own purpose.

Ellianne Tue 25-May-21 08:57:30

Yes, Annie and Sparkling, snap,that is the contradiction people can't get their heads round.
What do they really want? I don't think Harry knows. Maybe in time he will find out, but his life is not a happy one.

Sparklefizz Tue 25-May-21 08:52:55

Snap Anniebach smile

Sparklefizz Tue 25-May-21 08:52:31

They are not trying to hide from the media, though Ellianne, despite their claims when they left the UK...... they are choosing to court the media to say their piece.

Anniebach Tue 25-May-21 08:52:07

They are not hiding away from the media, they chose to expose themselves, they are making millions.
