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.

Going from very much liked to very much disliked since his marriage and certainly has become a liar

Liked and disliked by whom? If it is true he is a liar, how.is.that.because of his marriage?

No, it's the truth, simple as that, Harry does seem much more relaxed without his wife. At the time, Prince Charles couldn't possibly been aware of either Peter Ball or Laurens van der Post when he knew them personally. As for Earl Mountbatten, so many rumours swirled around him and Edwina, it's impossible to separate rumour from truth.

Charles wrote to Peter Ball AFTER he accepted a cautioned even bought a house for him to live! One of the Kinross boys has launched a legal battle. Why would do he that if it wasn't true? Why has the Home Office tried to stop Mountbtten's diary being published under the freedom of information act?

Do you spend all your time looking at photos of Harry to see if he looks happy and relaxed then?

Thank you Callistemon , Harry is such a different person without Megan clutching his hand

Now this is Muck raking.

No corruption just muck raking

Holding public servants to account is not muck raking.?

^LAuren Can Dr Post (sic) was a friend of Charles. This was in an article about him^

And this has precisely what to do with Harry/Heart of Invictus?

Someone asked to expand on corruption in tje Royal Family and I answered.

I feel so sorry for Charles, the number of people he knows through his charity work and people he met because he was prince of Wales,

I had a friendship with a man for several years, my young daughters attended a youth club he ran , a lovely person and good friend. I was so upset when I learned a few years after he left the town where I was living and where he once lived he was charged with offences involving illegal sexual acts.

LAuren Can Dr Post was a friend of Charles. This was in an article about hi m

One was Sir Laurens van der Post (1906-96). Storyteller, J.D.F. Jones's biography of this erstwhile guru, informs us that his numerous sexual liasons were conducted with little apparent regard for the feelings of the women concerned. More than once, it seems, an unwanted pregnancy was the signal for Laurens to decamp hurriedly and disappear. But the most startling episode of the kind occurred when, at the age of 43, he seduced and made pregnant a 14-year-old South African girl who had been placed in his care. This event, which would have ruined Laurens if it had become known in his lifetime, was not revealed until after his death.

And of course there's Lauren Van De Post as well as Lord Mountbatte and the Kincora Boys home.

Not Lauren!

Laurens van der Post
(Sir Laurens Jan van der Post, CBE was a South African Afrikaner writer, farmer, soldier, educator, journalist, humanitarian, philosopher, explorer and conservationist )
Why him?
Lord Mountbatten
Any other names of people loosely or vaguely connected to the Royal Family you’d like to lob into the argument why it was fine for a Harry to make such a thing of his “victim hood” in the Heart of Invictus series?
Maybe a corgi or two?
John Brown?
William Tallon (Backstairs Billy) ?

The Wiki entry only refers to a member of the royal family. It was Charleshttps://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/local-news/letter-extracts-between-prince-charles-1835764

Jeffrey Epstein is/was American so hardly fits the description “corruption in the royal family.
Who is/was Peer Ball ?
Any relation of Peer Gynt?

If you don' know who Peter Ball is do some research. Yet another paedophile with royal connections.
Honestly Jeffrey Epstein, Jimmy Saville and Peter Ball.
To know one paedophile might be unfortunate To know 3 well?
Read about him herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ball_(bishop)

Anniebach Sat 09-Sept-23 23:01:38

Perhaps Windsor Castle , even more queenly

Anniebach Sat 09-Sept-23 22:57:45

Megan chose to have the cameras in the palace , more queenly!

If you're not aware.of those connection between Epstein and the Royal family then you could search for Prince Andrew and Epstein. I'm not sure what his nationality has to do with it but Ghislaine Maxwell was involved and she is British.

You can also Google Peter Ball and Prince Charles.

I loved showing off my baby to close friends and family but it was my choice.

Are you so intimate with the Royal Family that you know showing off the baby wasn’t their choice?

I don't know how they felt but Meghan chose not to do it and received criticism.
