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.

Having heard someone else’s opinion is hearsay.
Knowing something that you’re not at liberty to release, is like not knowing it at all.

I can’t divulge that.

Oh why bring them up then?

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 05-Sept-23 21:37:40

My friend’s comments to me are not hearsay. If I were to repeat them, which I never would, what I said would be hearsay.

Anything else is hearsay

About all of it.

My old friend who frequently went shooting with the Spencers describes her as anything but naive.

Because of course she was shooting with them all the time.

A lot of socialising goes on. She didn’t have to be shooting.

What did she do to make them think that?

I think that from what can be gathered, Windsor men rely to a greater degree on strong women. Not sure about Edward V11th, but George Vth relied a lot on Queen Mary, George V1th relied heavily on the late Q.M, Charles 111rd certainly needs Queen Camilla, William again has a very strong steady wife, all of whom have been good for them and the RF. However, Harry along with Edward V111th also married strong women whom they completely relied/rely on. Unfortunately both Wallis and particularly Meghan couldn't have been worse for them

Why is Meghan bad for Harry? The have 2 beautiful children and seem happy.

Jenpax and gloryannie you’re wasting your time. For what it’s worth, I agree with your posts. The vitriol directed at Harry, Meghan and Diana never ceases to amaze me.

eazybee Tue 05-Sept-23 18:56:15

Wow!
The hatred!
Not to mention all the tired cliches: unsuspecting girl, past lover, confidante, brood mare, crowned his one-time mistress, and of course, dysfunctional family.

More like Barbara Cartland, Diana's preferred choice of reading.

Mollygo Tue 05-Sept-23 18:55:20

She was 20. She thought she was getting a proper marriage with a man who loved her. She didn't realise he was just after someone to continue the Windsor line.

IYO G.
Your evidence?
Are you saying that you were a personal confidante of Diana?
Anything else is hearsay.

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-23 18:54:18

What did Diana mean in her tell all book ?

Andrew was always playing games, I knew he wasn’t for me

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-23 18:50:46

All they had were lies ?

Unsuspecting girl ! Her sister had dated Charles, her father worked for the Queen, her grandmother for the Queen mother
what a gift Diana could and did give daddy.

She was 20. She thought she was getting a proper marriage with a man who loved her. She didn't realise he was just after someone to continue the Windsor line.

I doubt that she was as naïve as everyone keeps trying to portray. She and her siblings grew up on the Sandringham Estate around the younger Royal siblings.
She was more Royal than the Windsors.

No, that's not permitted when the only reason for doing so was to make money and that *Glorianny was the only reason he did it.

He has lied. She has lied. Unsubstantiated slurs have been placed on his family by both of them, and all for money and fame. Good grief, even the Archbishop of Canterbury had to speak out about the 'wedding' 3 days before the actual wedding that of course *never took place.

I very much doubt that the untimely death of his wife, the mother of his children, was ever regarded by Charles as convenient. What an awful thing to suggestshock.

Well if your family dumps you and tells you you're on your own you just have to use what you have.
It wouldn't be the first time the Windsors have chucked out someone who crossed them.

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-23 18:45:21

Wow G! You could have ghost written Harry’s book with all that dramatic, but unproven material.

Anything there which isn't true (I may have exaggerated the age difference) just list it Mollygo
