The Mirror Group pays Harry

Well their “jobs” are basically to be in the public eye and pose for photos, which isn’t conducive to a private life. The RF aren’t entitled to a private life according to our media which print pages of stories based on endless speculation -“ the first picture of Charles after his diagnosis” was one photo last week - give the bloke a break. Why do they issue photos of their children for the plebs to gawk at? The kids haven’t given their consent.

You seem to understand nothing about the role of the monarch and the rest of the working RF.

Amazing isn't it

This is not just about Harry.
Now he is not a working member of the Royal Family, he is seen as a celebrity and celebrities have suffered from press intrusion too.

Serious press intrusion into the lives of celebrities has been going on for a long time, hence the Leveson Enquiry in 2011/12

Photographs of the children of William and Kate are part of an agreement, they release photographs same as the late Queen. Diana tipped the press where she would be with and without the children. Nothing wrong with the children being seen at public events, Harry’s children are on videos which could only be released by the parents.

give the bloke a break.
Yes, I agree.

Surely Camilla should have been allowed some compassionate leave too?

I think they issue official photos hoping the media will not intrude more on the children's privacy. Obviously the children will be seen at events, eg carol services.
The British press seem to respect the privacy of the children, at least.
I don't think the foreign press have such scruples.

^ waved by the media ^
There you have it, Glorianny, well done

It's the media. Netflix. Bashir. Omid Scobie etc etc.

The Royal family just try to get on with their jobs and are as entitled to a private life as much as the rest of us.

So you put the private life one family over the lives of hundreds of ordinary people. There's the difference I don't.
If one of the members of one of those families wants to write their story they are entitled to do so.
If a huge media corporation wants to listen to their conversations and use that information they are not entitled to do so.
Who the family is doesn't matter

The most exposed member of the royal family is Harry, we were even told where he had his first sexual experience, yuck 🤮

... and gave so many details that the poor woman was outed. What about her privacy?

MissAdventure

The point is, that people watched or read it, presumably?
I wouldnt have the faintest idea

Me neither, I didn't bother to read it but did hear on GN that it was outside.
So someone could have been watching, perhaps a sheep or a cow?

😂😂😂

We live in a Constitutional Monarchy, it must be very difficult for a republican to accept that.

Nothing to do with a monarchy really.
More to do with the glittery objects waved by the media to distract the public. The RF is one element, soaps, celebrities, etc. there are many others.
The RF are useful of course. Playing the "good royal", "bad royal" game sells papers. And people do fall for it.
Those of us with longer memories question the allocation.

And he exposed himself Annie .

It was spoken of here

Ooh!
I don't mean people watched his first sexual encounter. 🤭

Your bias shines through Glorianny

They are both gross invasions of privacy.

If you can't see the difference between one over privileged and over exposed family and one member of it
And a multi million press group and ordinary people's lives I suppose they are.
Some are always distracted by glittery objects

Your bias shines through Glorianny

They are both gross invasions of privacy.

Of course these are two separate issues but when the outpourings of one member of a vastly over privileged, and overexposed family are even compared with (and sometimes considered worse than,) the systematic invasion of the private calls, and conversations, of hundreds of people, by a multi-million pound press group, you realise how twisted our society's values have become.

Probably because to do so would mean acknowledging that this was a brave act by someone some people have chosen to dislike, and one which will benefit others.

I realise that actually perhaps the damning of Harry wasn't as simple as it at first appears.

Perhaps.
Who knows?

Harry couldn't stay longer?
Yesterday it was written that the king only allowed him a half an hour or 45 min (however long it was)

Perhaps Charles isn't seeing anyone at the moment, apart from Camilla.
He probably isn't feeling the best, needs peace and quiet, no visitors, then Harry turns up, the son who has caused him so much stress, which is the last thing he needs just at the moment.

But yet everyone is posting their take on the family situation as if it is fact, and bears out their interpretation.
