I'm sorry to say keffie that an awful lot of what H says is patently untrue. False memories? Exaggeration? Over egging the pudding? Who knows.
But his truth is very often not the truth

The King evicts Harry and his wife from Frogmore!
(442 Posts)The King has reportedly evicted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from Frogmore Cottage, their residence in Windsor. Buckingham Palace let the Duke and www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1740755/royal-family-meghan-markle-prince-harry-frogmore-cottage-king-charles of Susses know about the plan to take away the property from them just days after Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare, was published worldwide, it has been claimed.
@keffie - actually some of what you say is not true.
Harry clarified that they suffer from unconscious bias, not racism in the interviews. I can see why he never named names, but also see why not naming them leads to much worse speculation. Events that happened around the time the Netflix series aired said a lot more than Harry ever did though.
They got married at the church. They did a vow run through in the back garden and now consider that when they got married. It is not unheard of that couples do this. Who knows when they celebrate their anniversary.
Yes, it is now being reported that Kate made Meghan cry. But they both had a part in the problem. It is actually sad that this story was even leaked (which is the real problem in all of this). Kate was post partum, Meghan was under huge levels of stress. It was inevitable that both women were emotional something blew up. This story should never have seen the light of day IMO.
Harry's main problem is the media and the briefing that went on from his family's team.
Charles came off better in the book than I expected. It was the circumstance of being the POW and being required to marry someone suitable that set this whole ball rolling. That is neither Charles' nor Camilla's fault. How it has been handled since they married is a different story.
The biggest problem in this entire saga is that this is happening because the tabloids make money off of the British public by selling these sensationalized half true stories. If people stopped buying/believing the crap and worry about more pressing issues, this never would have started in the first place (back in the 80's).
Participating in this by reading and commenting and speculating is a choice that every person makes for themselves. All one has to do to remove themselves is top stop reading, stop buying, just stop. Bonus, if that happened, Harry & Meghan would fade into the background and would be unable to make so much money.
Isn't it amazing that the story of a wealthy prince losing his London home gets everyone atwitter whilst the shocking number of evictions and levels of homelessness in the UK seem to draw little attention?
As Harry lies so much Keffie12, to the point that the RF are a racist family,now retracted, how can we totally believe this version of events. Years ago, pre marriage Harry told us in an interview that Charles did his very best to be a good father to them, and that he told them both together of their mothers death as well as he was able and put his arm round both of them. He was seen holding Harry's hand when looking at the flowers outside K.P. I'm rather more inclined to believe this version of events than the post marriage one. Oh and this uncaring father did walk that poor lonely bride to the altar in the absence of her own ailing father. Strange that there was no other member of the RF who were able to step in, Prince Edward, Timothy Lawrence to name just two, but there you go.
They have shown total disrespect for their family and Great Britain ...how often do they visit ,so why should the place sit empty. The King is sorting the family out as far as I can see before his Coronation ...and why not,seems like a sensible thing to do.Especially financially.
In the book - H was in school when his g grandmother died, he was told by telephone, he clearly remembers the weather, the view from the room, he just forgot he was on a skiing holiday with his father and brother that day.
The Queen gifted The LEASE on Frogwell Cottage not the cottage itself, which is part of the Crown Estate and initially belongs to the state, who lease the properties out to the reigning monarch, in return the state retains any rent. The King has sensibly decided, that as they hardly ever visit, not to renew the lease when it runs out at the end of this month,but to alot it, with the permission of Parliament,to someone who will live there on a permanent basis. Bearing in mind, the taxpayer pays for the upkeep of Crown Properties through the sovereigns grant, an arrangement dating back to 1760, value for money would seem uppermost in this instance.

I'd be impressed if H & M knew what 'the truth' means.
Charles the cruel that's so funny Kelfie and it didn't take much research to expose the lies that H & M have told.
To add: Charles told both his sons their mom had passed by going into their bedrooms separately.
Telling them what had happened, then leaving the bedrooms. No cuddles, no nothing.
If that isn't cruel I don't know what you see is. This is in H book "Spare"
I`m glad Charles has shown some sign that Harry`s behaviour is not acceptable to him. Hope he does something with the other unlived in piles that the are lying about - like donate them to English Heritage or National Trust.

In your opinion: bet you haven't read the book by PH hey! You calling his experiences has a child lies too?
As for other lies which ones are you questioning? Oh let me guess
1/ The racist remark. Proven true - the Queen said "Memories may vary" so clearly something was said. H himself said even he was unconsciously biased at one time.
2/ The wedding: like many do, they took their vows in private a few days before hand. That is also in print by the independent. Those for them are their real vows, whether you agree with that or not
3/ It is also proven its the other way round re Kate making Megan cry not as it was projected.
4/ Those are the main things said about RF: the rest is towards the royal staff and predominantly the media.
5/ Oh just to finish off re her paternal family: they sell stories to the media, especially her dad and you think the royals would let them have anything to do with them?
No one whatever you thinks your child has done goes on media slating there child off. Would you yours? If your answer is yes then that says so much about you.
6/ Oh believe me if you bothered to read H book in full context and not the sensational out of context headlines you would see how cruel Charles is.
Has for Camilla: nasty foul piece of work.
To the person who said are there no republicans here? Yes now the Queen has passed I am in that camp
When did Charles say he didn’t have time to talk to H ?
if true shows a rather cruel side to KC. Also surprised that he said to be unable to find time to talk to Harry before the coronation. I've always been royalist but not so sure any more. So many wrongs.

Harry and Meghan haven't quite been 'evicted' - they are not living there. I also read yesterday that their lease on the property expires in March and they had been considering whether to renew it. Why fund a house that you have used so rarely - it doesn't make sense. The usual silly hysteria and emotive language is flying about. I'm surprised we haven't had 'King kicks Harry and Meghan out onto the street, Meghan crawls away, sobbing'. Another non story from the media.
You are 100% correct.
The lease was up. It wasn't renewed. Nothing worth all this drama and speculation.

Before you judge, listen to 'Harry, Meghan and the Media', a series of podcasts on BBC Sounds. The series is a real eye-opener.
Thank you for this. I will be listening today.
Is there not a Republican among any of you …who cares about these awful immoral people!
Oh my days. La La land

I think I'd be a bit miffed if I'd put a lot of effort and thought into re designing the interior of Frogmore. On the other hand, if I were only going to use it on very rare occasions I'd get the point and would be equally happy checking into the Lanesborough or similar. If it is symbolic of stripping me of everything, then I guess I might feel I deserved it somewhat for criticising The King, Queen and Ps of Wales in public.
The Omid Scobie mouthpiece only drops these nuggets to keep H & M relevant, which they're not.
How can they be miffed about putting effort into redesigning Frogmore? They chose to move abroad and have barely been back since so what is the point of them being able to keep it? there are plenty of places for them to stay with other members of the family if they deign to come over and if they did that it would solve the security issue too as they would be covered by whoevers place they stay at.
I agree H & M are not relevant anymore - the US seems to have gone against them and the sooner the Press just stop bothering to publicise them they will realise they have nothing to keep the money rolling in in the US - Or is that starting to stop anyway?
Ooh what, something small and something that is a pass on from Kate !!! Meagain won’t like that.
I agree
And just to rub salt in the wound, he’s giving it to Andrew!
I'm sickened by the whole entitled bunch none who have done anything to deserve such a privileged life
The York girls may be pally with Harry (Eugenie in particular) and I expect they don’t like to see their father in the position he is, but since the Queen’s death, things have definitely changed.
I bet they all need to watch their step around not only Charles, but also Camilla and William. The latters influence will have increased dramatically the last 6 months.

Just saying - both Charles and Diana wrote books criticising aspects of the Royal Family. Andrew paid a woman millions and swore blind he had never met her! Just saying.
… and gave interviews.

It just makes perfect sense for them to give up Frogmore - I suspect tho this may make them victims again!
