^ true respect is quiet and silent^

how I wish H and M had heard this before the Oprah interview and now the ‘about to be published ‘ book.

Namsnanny

And how will his book help the situation?

you are right, it will not help at all, but will exacerbate the situation.
it will not end well, as another poster says, simply because the Sussex's will keep on and on trying to justify themselves.With their wealth and status to always play victim as they do is nauseous.

Some very nasty people in the world who only see what fits with their agenda if you don’t like someone who something they do, move on, ignore, no need for constant, constant criticism and nastiness
Just leave them alone They didn’t stand a chance from the start and they haven’t made the right choices to let it die down either

We are all human and make mistakes and talk out of turn if we feel we have been wronged....Please cut Harry and Megan a bit of slack and let poor Harry grieve for his granny without all the hatred thrown at him and his wife....I can't understand why some people on here have so much hatred in their hearts....Be kind..

Prentice Tue 13-Sept-22 16:41:17

how odd, I have no hatred in my heart or mind for anybody, but criticism for any bad behaviour is what we teach our children.Forgiveness too if it is wanted, but I do not think it is wanted at all.I would like to see Harry reconciled with his family and think it may happen some day, when he sees truly what he has said and done.
they have lost the hearts of the British people and do need to earn it again in the future.

25Avalon Tue 13-Sept-22 16:55:08

Prentice I thought they were very well treated on the walkabout in Windsor. One person refused to look at Meghan and shake hands but they could all have booed but they didn’t.
Perhaps she can stop shooting the hate line. It would be nice if she went to visit her father before it’s too late as well. Perhaps Harry can persuade her after missing out on seeing his grandma although invited.

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Sept-22 16:58:41

Neither do I Prentice but it seems that for some any criticism of H & M is regarded as such or spite, venom or bitterness. The RF still has H's book hanging over them not to mention M saying she can say whatever she likes because she didn't sign a confidentiality agreement.

Both before the death of the Queen but neither have been rescinded.

Like you and many, I hope there can be a reconciliation but that will require trust and they have I think a long way to go before they can be trusted by the RF again.

It can't be easy having to be constantly on your guard for fear of what you say being repeated and/or twisted, and that must surely be how H's family feel and understandably so.

I agree Mine that we all make mistakes and speak out of turn but to do so so publicly is what very few would do, even if given the opportunity.

Kalu Tue 13-Sept-22 16:59:02

I think to say, ‘they have lost the hearts of the British people’ isn’t factual if you read what other posters have written on this thread Prentice!

Prentice Tue 13-Sept-22 17:00:41

I do agree Avalon I think the British people are very fair indeed and behaved this way as they were sorry he had lost a loved grandmother.
this is a golden opportunity to make it up to his Father and brother.

Prentice Tue 13-Sept-22 17:03:16

in the main they have indeed lost the hearts of the British people Kalu

Anniebach Tue 13-Sept-22 17:03:23

I don’t hate,but having experienced a family member talking
publicly about my darling daughter I find betrayal to be vile
and so cruel.

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Sept-22 17:08:14

Betrayal is as you say Annie vile and cruel and something you never expect to be the victim of flowers.

Barmeyoldbat Tue 13-Sept-22 17:42:44

So sorry Annie that you had such a terrible experience, it’s something that’s very hard to forget. It was lovely to see the brothers doing a walk about together and I hope it continues and they become close friends again. Maybe this will give him time to reflect what he has written in his book and maybe make some changes to any parts that could hurt. As for Meghan I thought she was given a warm welcome and just maybe this might go a long way to her changing her ways about how she treats not only the Royal family but her family as well.

Anniebach Tue 13-Sept-22 19:15:41

Thank you, those who defend betrayal should experience it, but i hope they never do.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 13-Sept-22 19:17:57

To forgive is divine

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Sept-22 19:21:13

Which is why it can be so hard to do.

Fleurpepper Tue 13-Sept-22 19:24:04

Every single case if different, and it is not right to transfer feelings about a personal experience to such a situation. Harry and Meghan have felt ignored, belittled, betrayed by a 'system', an 'industry' even. Why are their feelings of betrayal any less so?

Whitewavemark2 Tue 13-Sept-22 19:25:27

Perhaps the Queens example of forgiveness could be an encouragement?

Smileless2012 Tue 13-Sept-22 19:26:27

She certainly set a wonderful example didn't she.

Joseanne Tue 13-Sept-22 19:30:04

Forgiveness lies at the heart of the Christian faith. It can heal broken families, it can restore friendships and it can reconcile divided communities.
The Queen, long before Meghan became part of the family.

Namsnanny Tue 13-Sept-22 19:44:16

I think King Charles has done a very good job of showing forgiveness.

I for one have nothing to forgive. Or be forgiven for.
I'm just an observer.

If there is nothing to report, nothing will be reported.

pinkquartz Tue 13-Sept-22 19:49:44

Harry feels for his wife but still doesn't understand how trapped many people feel trapped by jobs they hate but have to do to earn money.

I still think they are self obessed. Suffering is part of being human sadly,

Namsnanny Tue 13-Sept-22 19:53:37

As sentient beings we can choose how we deal with life's difficulties.
As such some responsibility for the outcome falls at H and M's feet.

Fleurpepper Tue 13-Sept-22 19:54:50

Sorry, but there is no comparison at all.
