And everyone thought Fergie was bad. smile

For what’s it’s worth, it’s my opinion that Charles, William, and all other members of the royal family should remain absolutely silent just as they have done all along. There really isn’t a dignified way to deal with this other than silence. Thank the Lord it’s not my family. I’d be so horribly embarrassed. It’s like a Jerry Springer Show special for the royals. No wonder I’d prefer a republic.

To me this is just another step on H&M’s journey to ending up like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. They’ll continue to find an audience in the USA for a while longer, but then even America will be tired of them.

No matter what your children do you still love them, you may not like them or their behaviour but the love is still there.
Charles is being pushed to the limit here but I think he will always leave the door open for Harry and his children.

Why oh why does H feel he has to tell all the tittle tattle of a family fallout. It happens in all families, why does he feel that he has to gain sympathy? He is actually doing the opposite. As the MP said, Shut the f… up Harry.

Forsythia Thu 05-Jan-23 10:20:59

He blames them because they are popular and he isn’t. He can’t stand it because of his ego.

Kate1949 Thu 05-Jan-23 10:18:31

I don't usually post in these threads but I agree with Alioop. Also, he's blaming William and Kate for everything. He says he 'wants a family not an institution'. Tough. Unfortunately it is an institution. So stay or take the millions you have made and go, and stop the 'poor me' stuff. We can't always get what we want.

Forsythia Thu 05-Jan-23 10:18:07

I think he was always resentful and jealous of his brother. Meghan has exacerbated it but he is not blameless.

All was fine with those young men until Megan arrived. She has driven them apart and all for fame and money. It's sad Harry can't see how manipulative his darling wife is.

There we go - another person who knows the full inside story and the workings of someone’s mind! Amazing. 👏

The RF are handling it well with their silence. I hope they maintain this. To me this whole thing is all so sad.
My sympathy is with King Charles. And William and Kate, and their children who must know that something is seriously wrong in the family.

Lead story on the BBC news, 7am, and countless updates.

Good grief, I’m glad I’m not at home in England then. There’s not been any reporting about it here, yet at any rate.

Spring20 Thu 05-Jan-23 10:09:16

Exactly Smileless. W& C can never be sure now that anything they say to Harry won't be used against them in the future. You can't have a relationship on that basis. The irony is that Harry accuses them of leaking stories to the press about him and Meghan, yet also berates them for their silence, saying it paints him and Meghan as 'villains'. I hope the RF stay silent as this public showdown is awful for everyone, and sadly I don't see the relationship being repaired any time soon.

FannyCornforth Thu 05-Jan-23 10:02:21

I would have thought that Meghan would have had a therapist all along. I know that I would have done in her position

Funny how people are so invested in the lives of those they don’t know.

What's funnier is you commenting on the thread. ha ha

Hardly funny and perfectly allowed I’d say. VR just stating a view.

GagaJo Thu 05-Jan-23 09:59:27

No wonder the RF are worried if this kind of thing was common place. Harry must have plenty more on them!

Forsythia Thu 05-Jan-23 09:55:19

If he can’t be king and Meghan can’t be queen then nobody can. He will see to that on her instructions. He is bitter, jealous and angry. However I still think there’s more we don’t know which May or may not be divulged. Depends on how far he pushes people.

As for his and her mental health, he’s just admitted to phoning his therapist. When Meghan had ‘suicidal thoughts’ why didn’t he do that then instead of her going through ‘HR’ as she claimed. Strange isn’t it.

I just know that I’m glad I don’t have relatives like him and her and I’m sure most others feel the same.

Exactly.

JenniferEccles Thu 05-Jan-23 09:53:57

To me this whole sorry saga boils down to the woman Harry married.
William has been quoted as describing her as rude, abrasive and difficult.
When H and M were here, we know there had been a high turnover of staff, similarly describing her as being difficult and demanding to work for.

William apparently advised Harry in a friendly, older brother way, to get to know M before committing to marriage but H of course, besotted with her was having none of it.

I’m pretty sure the warning signs were there right from the beginning.

I wonder why this was leaked to the Guardian of all papers?

Smileless2012 Thu 05-Jan-23 09:52:37

I agree Oreo. C & W IMO should tell H that as long as he continues to talk about his family in such a disparaging way to the world, they can have no further contact with him.

If he really wants to begin healing rifts within the family, he needs to wind his neck in and understand that it will take time for his family to rebuild trust.

Apparently in his interview with Tom Brady, H's said he doesn't know if he'll attend his father's coronation as 'a lot can happen in that time'. His invitation should be withdrawn. Why should C's coronation be at the risk of being overshadowed by his vindictive son.

Aveline Thu 05-Jan-23 09:50:13

As long as the Royal family maintain a dignified silence Harry is going to look more and more foolish and will soon run out of stories to sell.

Chardy Thu 05-Jan-23 09:48:32

If 2 of my adult sons were involved in a punch-up, I don't think I'd be happy others found it amusing.

Oreo Thu 05-Jan-23 09:45:43

I think he’s ruined his own life already and is fast ruining that of his father and brother and families.That’s why they have to let him go, I suspect that William has done that already.
Harry will soon run out of things to say about them.

luluaugust Thu 05-Jan-23 09:45:00

I just hope the RF carry on saying absolutely nothing.

25Avalon Thu 05-Jan-23 09:41:31

Whatever the truth of it all - William may well have grabbed him by the collar then let go pushing him away and Harry fell over - Harry is an embittered angry person who will ruin his own life.
