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.

How Do you know this Sparklefizz? Why does it matter?

Because in his book Spare, Harry says that he took - what he calls - the laughing gas.

Yes he did, most odd, his wife in pain and he on her pain relief

I'm sure ther.was.enough

He’s just an immature idiot.

Kate? I thought people were discussing Meghan?

Or even discussing Harry!
Who would clearly rather be anywhere but at the Beyoncé concert
Or to paraphrase -Heaven knows, he’s miserable now

Harry also says that second time round the birth was calmer and easier because they were away from all the stress and protocols this time.
Errr no, second or third deliveries are nearly always a doddle compared with number one!
He always tries to lay blame somewhere else, often in a very misguided and foolish way.

WellsRose Wed 06-Sept-23 19:49:30

Sounds ok to be relentlesy nasty about Harry And Meghan but not Kate

Foxygloves Wed 06-Sept-23 19:51:06

And I’m not sure what stress, protocols or whatever apply at the Portman, a private clinic more than experienced enough in treating or dealing with “celebrity” patients.

Joseann Wed 06-Sept-23 19:52:05

I quite like Meghan. If it weren't for her, Harry would be even more of a twerp.

This has bothered me.
Isn't his jacket doing up the girl's way?

Joseann Wed 06-Sept-23 19:56:56

Errr it looks very small on him. Is it Lilibets?

Anniebach Wed 06-Sept-23 20:03:15

Is she a surrogate mother to Harry?

It's very short with big lapels.
Is this the current fashion?🤷‍♀️

I'll never get Mr.I to change ...

Depends.

He might have been ok if he'd married Chelsey.
But she escaped.

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 ,

I don't suppose Harry noticed the candles and photograph while Meghan was in labour as he allegedly helped himself to some nitrous oxide and was high as a kite when he came out to speak to the press about Archie's birth. I wondered why he was so giggly and stupid and thought he had just become over-excited about the birth until he admitted about the nitrous oxide.

I don't suppose Meghan noticed the candles and photograph either, she would have been very busy.

That's all she needed, her DH getting giddy on nitrous oxide.

Oops I meant the Portland of course.
What makes you think I care , WellsRose ?

I’m not interested in H&M, but I do like Beyoncé. Everybody who is anybody has been wearing silver for her Renaissance tour, it’s a thing. I’d imagine Harry didn’t possess anything silver of his own to wear so this was a last minute fix.

No it doesn’t exonerate Charles, he was not involved with Camilla when he married Diana

According to Charles, that is

Amazing, he has affairs before his marriage, and after his marriage to Diana had broken down. But in the interim he still talked with Camilla as ‘just a friend. ‘

He was a 30 year old man who married a 20 year old girl, with stars in her eyes, when he didn’t love her. Sired 2 children on her and then lost interest.

Any other bloke who did this would be considered an out and out bounder.

WellsRose Thu 07-Sept-23 09:37:52

I think if you're brought up to be king, you would have a huge sense of entitlement and expect to have a wife and mistress. He didn't count on Diana not putting up with it

Glorianny Thu 07-Sept-23 09:41:29

I don't understand why anybody wants or needs to know what was there, who was there, or anything else about how anyone gave birth. Nor why Harry's jacket was of interest to anyone. It does seem to me that those people who castigate the couple for being media hungry and publicity obsessed, are in fact obsessed themselves, and take every opportunity to read about, scrutinise images and lap up information about the couple, just apparently, so they can castigate them some more. It isn't just weird it's unhealthy.

I was in hospital a and e yesterday and picked up a scandal mag full of slebs I had never heard of other than the royal family. I learned that p.Andrew was photographed in a car with William and Katherine.
Riveting? No.

WellsRose Thu 07-Sept-23 10:01:13

I think it's so misoginistic to expect a woman to face aa mob of cameras looking glamourous and wearing heels. The Queen didn't have to. We don't need to see the baby until the mother is ready. What kind of husband puuts his wife through that?

eazybee Thu 07-Sept-23 10:25:13

The only information I see about Harry is via the Telegraph; they published the photographs discussed here , they printed the article about the Invictus games headlining Harry's whingeing, and today there is an article about Omid Scobie's latest 'book', targeting Prince William.
None of which I read, but the headlines and photographs are impossible to avoid.
Someone is paying a lot of money to get these articles circulating in the press.
