I came across this article posted on MN.
It strikes me as very perceptive as Harry yet again drags up his mother’s death at the Invictus Games.
It’s so inappropriate and disrespectful to those thousands of injured servicemen and their relatives that an over-privileged, extremely wealthy individual constantly turns the subject to himself.

Her need for the cameras, telling the press where she would be for photo shoots for front page etc. not a healthy life.

Iam64 Wed 06-Sept-23 12:27:11

The press wouldn’t leave her alone. She was always trying to manage it to the best of her ability. That would t change

For goodness sake.
The woman died twenty-six years ago; no-one knows what she would be like now, what sort of life she would be leading, and how she, Charles and Camilla would behave towards each other. I don't think Charles and Camilla would have married if his first wife was still alive, but I may be wrong.

Pointless to speculate about Diana, but I do wonder if Harry would be any happier.

While you are absolutely right about the pointlessness of speculation, I have sometines wondered whether Diana and Meghan would actually have got onall that well- the latter being such a publicity seeker and clearly dominating Harry.
Just#thinking!

What makes you think that Meghan is controlling Harry? Also why is she publicitt seeking than anyone else in the public eye including The Royals?

Controlling and dominating are not the same thing.

WellsRose Wed 06-Sept-23 13:51:24

ok in response to MerlotGran, what makes you think Meghan dominates Harry?

By being the more powerful influence in their relationship.

OK
The publicity seeking first
Arranging pap shoots when going to the dentist, taking a dog with her to the farmers market (animals not allowed) “carelessly “ revealing the “anti stress” patch while wearing a cashmere coat in 30C, the PDA /handholding on formal occasions (breaching etiquette) , wondering why nobody asked if she was all right instead of asking how she got about the women she had met in. Africa who were living at subsistence level, often the survivors of domestic violence and rape, flashing multi- thousand ££ outfits when visiting women’s refuges, “pushing “ ahead of Harry and others on formal occasions, need I go on?
The “dominating” ? Well the vast majority seem to agree H is needy and troubled, so is expecting him to twerk and gyrate at a Beyoncé concert on the anniversary of his mothers death supportive? Is expecting to go to Balmoral as the Queen was dying when the other GC and spouses stayed behind? Is refusing to visit the UK on the anniversary of the Queens death not asserting her needs over a grandson’s ?
Moving to LA- who was that for? Keeping their children from their paternal family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc and cutting them off from part of their heritage?
This is common knowledge and frankly boring.

Anniebach Wed 06-Sept-23 16:52:41

She has spoken of giving birth surrounded by candles and a photograph of Diana !

The children are being controlled, they don’t know their extended family, Harry and William spent long summer holidays at Balmoral with their cousins ,

WellsRose Wed 06-Sept-23 17:18:44

So arranging pap shots all celebrities do including the Royals. William when he selling the Big Issue and Kate appearing at the Sarah Everard memorial service (yep using a murdered woman for publicity).
During the African interview, she ASKED if she was ok and she ANSWERED. She had a baby a few months before, living far away from her home country, trying to adjust to a completely different way of life, getting death threats from far right nutters and having constant bitching from the press and Royalists about petty stuff like holding hands and touching her bump. No wonder she added up.
All the RoyAl family wear expensive clothes. Look at Will and Kate touring Jamaica, how many expensive outfits does Kate need when she's amongst the poor. What about the Coronation and all the expensive outfits whilst there are ex servicemen sleeping rough within a few miles.
Meghan certainly looked like she struggled with Royal Protocol but it's a load of made up nonsense anway.
How do you know he didn't want to be at a Beyonce concert? They know each other and she is fantastic live. His mum liked concerts so he might be the same. Unfortunately his dancing is like his dad and brother whereupon Meghan has the moves so he would look awkward.
I don't know if she expected to go to Balmoral. Did she announce that publicly?
Why does he need to be in the UK in the anniversary of his Gran's death. I don't go anywhere for my Gran's anniversary and we were really close.
He may well have moved to L.A. For his wife but what's wrong with that? They see Andrew's daughter's as they travel to see him. The Royal get two months off a year so they could go and see him. Why is that bit of heritage more important than Doria's or Diana's heritage.
Is it common knowledge or just a load of tabloid bilge?

Did I say she wouldn’t Glorianny? Tut tut.

So what?Emma's wrong with having the birth of your choice. The photo of Diana was probably for Harry. It's a nice gesture.

All children are being controlled aren't they? I had to go where my mum and dad wanted to go in the summer. I'm sure they have playmates in California and the weather is probably better

Are you the official apologist for H&M WR? It’s interesting that you only appear on threads about them.

Yes, it's notable.
🤔

Controlling and dominating are not the same thing

Controlling: determine the behaviour or supervise the running of.
Dominating: have power and influence over.
Manipulating: control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly or unscrupulously.

@ WellsRose - who is Emma and how does she come into it?

To be fair, the RF have plenty of fanatical support of these threads. Maybe no bad thing to have someone rooting for a different viewpoint?
