Prince Harry has appeared at the High Court along with other celebrities re their court case against Associated Newspapers in a privacy case.

I wonder where he’s staying?

At least he didn’t have to slip in by the back door in an attempt to go unnoticed.

It would have been most sensible, not putting himself through trauma every day.

Glorianny Wed 29-Mar-23 13:56:18

Sorry David Furnish.
Just thinking how much would have been posted about Harry using a side entrance grin

It was interesting all the plaintifs used a discrete side door except Harry who chose to enter by the main entrance. I understood he doesn't feel safe in the UK and wants privicy confused

Did they? I saw film of Elton John and David Furness arriving and Sadie Frost., so it wasn't all that "discrete"

Anniebach Wed 29-Mar-23 13:50:45

Harry has spoken often of the click of press photographers cause him distress, why enter the court this week by the main entrance , why not a side entrance ?

Well, I bet Prince Andrew is delighted about Harry.
It's all helping to keep the limelight off him and his goings on.
Royalty seemed to have died with the Queen's death.

It was inevitable really, that’s what I thought anyway.
The Queen and those in her orbit were of their time.
I just can’t envisage a future for the RF at all

Well, you certainly get a better class of hypocrisy with this sad, self-obsessed creature. He's actually going to court about his private life being breached, and the details then being used inappropriately in order to make money. Sound familiar? You bet it does...

Anniebach Wed 29-Mar-23 12:46:29

What is Andrew doing now that are ‘goings on’

It is in Daily Mail ...?

Keffie12

it was one of camilla's assistant who leaked info and was dismissed.

goodbye!

FannyCornforth Wed 29-Mar-23 12:25:47

Before you go Keffie, where do you get your information from please?

Keffie12 Wed 29-Mar-23 12:21:08

@pascalgold @easybee You only read the trash media I gather! The RF through their sources (staff etc) have been reporting on H and then H, and M for years even when he was a child.

It's the other way round.. They have the proof..

As for why Harry got back into the country on the quiet. His family weren't informed he was coming so they couldn’t leak it.

Everyone whose looked into this properly knows its Camilla, her staff and William in the last few years doing the leaks of lies and various as a trade off for covering the lies and gossip of the R.F

Example William affair becoming public. The media buried it in exchange for gossip true or otherwise.

I'm out of here now as I know this will turn into a slagging off of H & M.

Dillonsgranma Wed 29-Mar-23 11:54:46

If I never hear his name again or his poisonous wife’s, It will be too soon! Ghastly disrespectful pair 🤬

We are perfectly capable of understanding the difference between the Institution of royalty and the family, as is Harry.

Many families have disagreements; some are foolish enough to share them with the public, whilst a very few attempt to use them to make money.

Equally, the public is entitled to criticize anyone who chooses to air their grievances in public deliberately to cause distress to their relations.

Glorianny Wed 29-Mar-23 11:14:01

I think some people fail to understand the difference between the "Institution"which comprises the RF and all their advisers, PR people and press offices, and the "family" which is of course Harry's relations. He was conditioned to accept the "Institution" and its ways from birth. As an adult he is quite entitled to question and criticise those ways. The fact that the rest of his relations choose to follow those establishment restrictions is nothing to do with him, it is their problem.

Daisymae Wed 29-Mar-23 11:07:09

I think that Charles is weak and while he would obviously want Harry to attend, I wonder if William will stand for it. At the end of the day the Sussexs only want to monetise their royal connection. At the moment their brand is at a low and they will want to boost their image. What better stage?

Sparklefizz Wed 29-Mar-23 10:47:51

I note Harry is already slagging off his family claiming they kept information from him and calling them "The Institution".

I really do hope Charles stays strong and keeps him off the balcony. Harry can't say that he wants to be there "because it's family" and then treating his family so badly.

DiamondLily Wed 29-Mar-23 04:49:49

The Royals are like actors, starring in their very own soap opera - each of them only shows the side that they want the public to see.

What goes on, behind closed doors, is anyone's guess.

Sycophantic media, such as the DM, assist with all this fawning Palace PR.

If any public figure, other than Charles, or a favoured royal, had recieved £3 million, in notes, given by a dubious source, stuffed in carrier bags, the DM would have been all over it like a rash - but, because it was the RF, they said remarkably little.

Charles gave an interview, many years ago, to one of the Dimbleby's, saying that his mother was hopeless, as a mother, and that his father was an out and out bully.

Not sure who's recollections might have varied there though..😗

How can they support him Anniebach? He’s already shown that there is no guarantee what he will say about anything they do. There’s no guarantee what twist the machiavellianpress and social media posters will put on anything they say or do.
In their place I’d say nothing.

Glorianny Tue 28-Mar-23 20:22:35

Anniebach

He has started, his family are not supporting him in this

Well they wouldn't would they. The RF relationship with the press is about as Machiavellian as you can get. Play their game and they will feed you stories, cross them and they will cut you out. The RF publicity machine and the establishment have always ensured that any unpalatable facts are carefully covered up and reputations ruined or restored as the RF decides.

Daisymae Tue 28-Mar-23 20:15:06

I think that he's here to keep his face in the news. That and he's negotiating his place on the balcony for the coronation.

The RF actually welcomed Harry's bride with open arms, as did the people of this country. The late Queen in particular bent over backwards to accommodate them both, but it was thrown back in her face. Accusations of racism, (now rescinded), by both the RF and the people of this country was pretty awful. Just one of many tall tales!

Anniebach Tue 28-Mar-23 19:39:06

Seems Gundy knew it all because it was all reported on before Harry wrote the book.
