My brothers used to knock seven bells out of each other on a regular basis. As adults they are the best of mates. Just saying

Volver, you are commenting with your own preconceptions, we only know what they claim, by commenting you are gossiping.
I can think of some good cartoons.
Hopefully when Chelsea found out her beaded necklace was broken she could have sent him another, or he could have picked up the beads and had it retreaded. Or did they just go in the bin,surprising if it meant so much, perhaps the jeweller remembers. Where was the dog whilst this mayhem went on, I hope he had eaten. Also was his bowl replaced.

Harry reveals in his book that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his tour of Afghanistan and thought of them as chess pieces taken off a board.

Now I’m convinced he has problems with sanity.

My thoughts immediately go to those who have been cruelly cut down by terrorists due to military connections.

Well done, Harry! 😡

What if it's true though. This isn't a normal family. William could be King onE day and I'd like to know if someone in such a prestigious role was anot aggressive prat.

I have never accused H, or anybody else for that matter, of things I've just read in the press or on Facebook. I understand the difference between conjecture and fact.

I've never suggested anybody is on drugs because I don't like the way they behave.

I have never pretended to know what went on between members of the family I have never met.

I have never pretended to know what went on in the mind of the late Queen or any member of her family.

I have commented on other posters' bizarre obsessions.

I think you need to reassess what "gossip" means.

William has never been fit for public office. Even when training with the RAF he treated the air force and taxpayer with contempt when he 'borrowed' a Chinook helicopter to fly to a stag do, letting other officers take the blame.

Have
@itvnews

@BBCNews
or
@SkyNews
asked William for an interview to explain the allegations against him? If not why not? If you have and he’s refused will you tell us? If not why not?
#SparebyPrinceHarry

Whatever you think of the revelations in Harry's book, this row is destroying the monarchy and any sense of mystery or mythology that has sustained it in the past."

"We can now see very ordinary, unimpressive people who are prone to quick tempers, fits of violence and petty jealousies."

"The kind of behaviour demonstrated by William has been talked about for years, now Harry is throwing a spotlight on it and it can no longer be ignored."

"Charles and William are not men we would elect as head of state, if we were given the chance, yet there they are. We have people at the top of our society most of us would actively vote against in a free and fair election, because the King and heir would not withstand the scrutiny and challenges that comes with that contest."

"We cannot dismiss the allegations as a family feud when the family is the basis for a hereditary monarchy. The serious problems within the royal household destroy a significant part of the justification for the institution."

"Harry has also highlighted the cruelty of an institution that raises children according to a rigid pecking order, telling the younger ones they must always defer to the rights and rank of their siblings."

"This is no way to raise a family, it is no way to govern a country. The British people will see that, and will increasingly know it is time the monarchy went. "

'Calling volver................where are you? It's so dark down that rabbit hole we can't see you. Are you okay? Or are you lost in your mental H&M roller coaster ride?'

Chestnut Thu 05-Jan-23 16:51:53

Grany, you're enjoying this far too much. 😟

Daisymae Thu 05-Jan-23 17:03:07

I'm thinking that so much suffering will be allayed when Charles removes the titles from Harry and Meghan. Then they and their family can go off into the sunset and live their best, quiet lives. Obviously being aligned with the royal family is just too much to bear.

Come on Chestnut,

Do you want me to post on here or not?

(not that it'll make any difference to me at all, of course)

Not that you're a prejudiced and extreme republican or anything Grany.

Callistemon21 Thu 05-Jan-23 17:16:18

If Harry wants his father and brother back he needs to stop airing his dirty laundry in public and have private conversations with his family.

👏👏👏

And keep his mouth 🤐 about his time in Afghanistan, both for his sake and the sake of his fellow soldiers.
Not to mention his wife and children.

He needs help, he really does, to help him realise that actions and foolish words have consequences.

More revelations on Sky who have obtained a copy of the book from Spain. They have a programme on at 7 tonight.

Jane71 Thu 05-Jan-23 17:22:47

There are so many posts on this thread that I've only read a few pages. I'm not clear what H&M hope to achieve by these revelations in the videos and his book. I feel very sad that the families problems are being paraded in public like this, and shudder to think what the queen would have said.
All families have problems and falling outs, but there is no need to tell everyone about them.

Deedaa Thu 05-Jan-23 17:23:42

So a trained, professional soldier is easily knocked down in a domestic row with his brother?

Harry says he told his therapist about it. So he was seeing a therapist but Meghan wasn't "allowed" to?

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Jan-23 17:30:48

Apparently, Harry lost his virginity, aged 17 ‘in a field behind a pub’ to an older woman.
This is all ludicrous.
At this rate, tomorrow lunch time tomorrow, I’ll be knocking on Grany’s door (whose opinions I have always respected)

The piece was about William using RAF helicopter as and when without asking. So being unaccountable above the law, as all RF and so not fit for public office.

I am a republican as are a growing number are now too.

Abolish the monarchy.

Kate1949 Thu 05-Jan-23 17:34:11

Exactly Deedaa. He says he was 'scared' when William confronted him. Yet he faced and killed insurgents?

GladEye Thu 05-Jan-23 17:34:47

FannyCornforth @ 17.30 maybe the older woman was one of his groupies on here? Hmm now who might that be.....hmm

Ooh it's just like Eastenders. Am so shallow grin

Wonder if Kate held Will’s coat and yelled ‘Leave him Babe he ain’t worth it’! grin

Best posts on the thread 😂😂😂

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Jan-23 17:37:47

Will she sell her story, I wonder?
I know that I would (if I hadn’t already)

Tomorrows Daily Star will have the alleged victim getting paid for her story.

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Jan-23 17:39:44

It’s a good job that he made clear that it was ‘an older woman’
