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.

Dan Wootton is a journalist and currently a Presenter on GB news.
There are many pictures today of members of the royal family remembering the Queen's death, in Windsor, Scotland, Wales and elsewhere, and many tributes. I believe Harry visited Windsor Chapel this morning; I hope he did and it gave him some comfort.

Who is Dan Wootten

I think he's a bloke with a New Zealand accent.

Don't ask me any more because I don't know.

He is from NZ. He was on GB news, and wrote for the Daily Mail. He also has some strange and weird obsession with Meghan..

He has been suspended from both roles.

I just don't get why people would be interested in a journalists opinion on a royal they don't know, and will never know, or think that journalists have actually heard any of these so called conversations/arguments .

But it is all right for you to be very interested?

I'm just curious as to why some people are so interested in people they don't know.

But, if it makes people happy, then go for it. 👍🍾

Meanwhile, I'm sure some people can pick the bones out of why Harry decided to visit St George's Chapel today.

Fill yer boots lol

Ha ha, already beaten you to it DiamondLily! I am actually very interested in St. George's Chapel because DH is a visiting chorister there, and I usually accompany him there. Sometimes things in the news catch your eye for a variety of reasons, some high-brow, some mundane, some important, some boring. We can all multi task. No reason to pick the bones.
Also, I'd rather not fill my boots, I might sink the ferry!

So those who post on Harry threads, Katie Price threads, Cliff
Richard threads and other celebrity threads don’t know or care about what’s happening in this country ?

We can all multi-task 😁

Thanks WellsRose, I'm just waiting to board the ferry to France. (Nearly missed it last time due to traffic on a Friday afternoon, so DH has us here somewhat early!)
Anyway, I think Harry might have visited St. George's Chapel in Windsor to remember his Grandma today? Nice touch, also William in Wales and Charles in Scotland. Everyone busy.

I'm very interested yes
Is that a problem?

Not forgetting the car chase through New York

Foxygloves Fri 08-Sept-23 14:20:23

So many why’s?
Why is this thread been started about him ?

But this is easy to answer and I cannot understand how you can still be oblivious of OP’s intention. (But there’s none so blind….)
Read the words. OP invites comments on an article to which she has linked, regarding Harry’s contribution to The Heart of Invictus series.
Have you watched it?
I’ve only seen the first 2 parts and was massively impressed by the courage and resilience of those wounded and disabled - whether paraplegics, tetraplegics, quadriplegics or the mentally scarred and their families who have faced enormous trauma.
Harry did himself no favours by saying “nobody helped him” - although he has elsewhere stated how his brother was indeed supportive and there for him, and by whingeing that nobody did anything for the returning serviceman and women.
Blatantly untrue- has he, (have you) , forgotten the charity Help for Heroes? Or the massive publicity in the media at the time?
His plaintive whingeing did not sit well with true heroism and he did them a grave injustice.
Sadly Harry (like Meghan about other “inventions” such as the “ wedding in the garden” ) showed that he does not let the facts get in the way of a good story.

WellsRose Ok so why do the daily run articles about him? Why is this thread been started about him? Why are Piers Morgan and Dan Wootton obsessed by her? Why does Camilla Tominey talk about them in her column?
.................................................

you are certainly obsessed with them as it appears you've
watched all you've mentioned.

If the people posting on this thread are concerned with Harry's mental heath I understand totally why he felt the need to move to the US. Such "understanding" sets mental health issues back to Victorian standards.

WellsRose Fri 08-Sept-23 13:50:01

Smileless2012

People express their concern about his mental health, what's wrong with that?

Read the first page. There is no concern for mental health at all. Its the opposite.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 08-Sept-23 13:48:48

These people are not the country . I was quoting your earlier post.

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-23 13:46:10

Corruption in the royal family ?

WellsRose Fri 08-Sept-23 13:46:06

Germanshepherdsmum

I doubt the country is worried about him.

Ok so why do the daily run articles about him? Why is this thread been started about him? Why are Piers Morgan and Dan Wooton obsessed by her? Why does Camilla Tominey talk about them in her column? Wjy do Angela Levin and Tom Bowers write books about them? Why did one of the earlier posters mention people speculating about Archie and Lillibet? Why are Police Officers being charged with Racial Abuse over Meghan? Why does Jeremy Clarkson hate Megan so much he fantasises about sexual violence against her?

^But it’s weird that anyone believes that the public don’t care about the important things just because they complain about Harry^

And a classic illustration of a “Strawman” argument.

Could be that the people who spend their lives defending his weird behaviour or stupidity don’t care about the important things either
No moral high ground there either.

Don't claim any moral high ground. The press are using Harry to disteact from bad news and corruption. Look at the Dan Wooton scandal, far worse than Harry has ever done if its true but not much coverage.

I just understand a country that votes in a terrible person, ignores all the corruption in the Government, Police and Royal family can be worried about a bloke who lives in California and has no affect on our lives.

Probably not as we voted in Boris johnson who we knew was lying, immature piece of work.

WellsRose Fri 08-Sept-23 13:15:47

What weird behaviour as he displayed over the last month or so?
