What a surprise, Harry’s not coming.

I'm surprised he won't come to see and support his grandmother.

I don’t understand why this has made the news. With a war and the slaughter of innocents in U.K., I can’t think why papers like the Daily Mail are making this their banner news story.

I don’t understand why this has made the news. With a war and the slaughter of innocents in U.K., I can’t think why papers like the Daily Mail are making this their banner news story.

Because there are endless articles there about the war and people need to read something else as well. Harry and Meghan are always good for a bit of light relief, or to bring some annoyance into your life.

Because it's part of a tabloid and the DM drip, drip, drip campaign of hate and bile against the couple on a daily basis even with the Ukraine war in progress. Is anyone surprised they are not coming with the reception they would get from a UK manipulated mob?

Perhaps he’s not coming because he knows the press will focus on him, instead of his grandfather. We just have to look at the fuss over will he and William speak or not at the funeral.

Yes the reports would focus on him as a hate figure in the press, GN would have a meltdown on who does he think he is , coming over here, drawing attention off the saintly RF etc etc

Back to the usual…
TWO. H nd M threads on GN.
That will make some peoples day.
Can’t wait for some original comments…….(I’m so bored with them I wish they’d shut up/ Diana/ Meghan schemed to steal our Prince / why can’t we see the baby’s face/Oprah interview…)

If he was coming he’d be slammed
If he’s not coming he’ll be slammed

If he was coming he’d be slammed
If he’s not coming he’ll be slammed

Schrödinger's royal, innit.

I didn’t know there was to be a memorial service for the DofE,

I heard on the News last night that the Queen is not going to attend the Commonwealth service on the 23rd at Westminster Abbey.

I wonder if she will make it to the MS.

I think it is sad that Harry is not coming to his beloved grandpa's memorial service. Sad that he can't put his resentment aside and sad for his grandma. I think respect for him will now go completely out of the window.
It has little to do with security because he is happy to fly to Holland for the Invictus Games.

Actually you are wrong there * vegansrock*.
This GNetter would not have a meltdown, (that style is reserved for certain others who combust regularly).
This GNetter would be pleased he could put his family's feelings above his own and do the right thing to mend bridges.

I often wonder would he have made the same choices if his mother was still alive.

Why oh why is it necessary for some to wait for any opportunity to criticise Harry and/or Meghan. I’ve just caught up with the estrangement threads. Estranged adult children and estranged parents, doing the best they can to live lives that aren’t dominated by hatred and bile. Each has their own belief , or doesn’t understand what caused the estrangement. What they share is sadness that it happened. Many no longer hope for reconciliation.
Yet, OP after OP aimed at reinforcing distorted beliefs about relationships in the RF.

It’s like Groundhog Day on here. Someone starts a thread on H & M and then others come along bristling with indignation at the awfulness of it all. It’s definitely put a smile on my face this Saturday morning.

Well exactly tickingbird. We cannot think about all the bad stuff all the time. We need some light relief and they certainly fill that slot, so maybe that's why they were put on this earth!

All the tabloids carry the story , why the claims that the Daily
Mail Is printing lies ?

Because it is the Daily Mail.

Iam64 those who post on this forum about the pain of estrangement don’t make public announcements to the media

He is a private citizen of somewhere now and can do what he wants. Probably not a lot different to the way many grans are treated just on a grand scale with the world watching. It will be interesting to see what protection he gives himself when he goes to the Invicta Games and will he take his wife and children.
Well I have just typed that and I am thinking with everything else going on in the world am I really bothered anymore.

The service is for his grandfather. I would have thought he would have attended out of respect. Obviously showing respect isn't high on his list of priorities. Maybe Prince Philip is going to be slammed in the book which won't be published until after the Queen dies.

I am sorry Harry will not attend. We don't know what the reasons are, of course, but I would have thought out of respect he should be there. Sad really.

Maybe he's attended one too many of the public memorials held to bolster up the RF and he prefers to remember his grandfather as he really was and to grieve in private for once.
