It’s just been announced, Prince Harry has lost his appeal to have armed security provided when he is in Britain.
I’m not surprised.

What gets to me is the absolute waste of time and money when cases like this are brought. Particularly with non residents. What doesn’t he just go back to the USA and get on with his life there instead of causing trouble in a country he no longer wishes to live in ?

I love the title of his thread. Prince Harry lost his appeal when he decided to desert his wider family for (what he hoped would be) the fleshpots of Hollywood.

Well he always did enjoy going on the razz. It's just that now he has added in a vindictive side to his character.

Unsubstantiated allegations that hatred is being shown on this or any thread is harassement VS, as without specific examples no one knows whose being accused.

Your post yesterday @ 23.03 "Comments like this are hateful" in relation to a post of mine you quoted was talking directly to me which is why I responded to you directly.

Requesting specific examples, especially when allegations of hatred are made are perfectly acceptable and if they cannot or will not be provided, it best not to make them in the first place.

The title of this thread is very apt isn't it Mollygo.

It is Harry's purpose in life to cause trouble as he has little aptitude for anything such as work; if he can hurt his father, stepmother, brother and sister-in-law, so much the better.

He is jealous and spiteful, two characteristics we never realised he had.

Glorianny Thu 29-Feb-24 09:14:01

If GN had the facility to cut and paste several things from different posts I could list the items that embody hatred. They don't.
But my former comment remains.
If people are saying awful things about someone they don't actually hate, then they are actually much worse. You wonder what they are full of. Spite comes to mind. It's certainly not the milk of human kindness, or even humanity.

Yes it is very apt and rather clever Smileless2012, although I didn’t think of it that way until it was pointed out.
When you leave a job, you stop getting the benefits from that job.
It’s not a matter of hatred, merely normal practice.
Re: unsubstantiated allegations,
One DB resorted to that when he estranged himself from the rest of our family.

It’s another example of normal practice for some people in everyday life, not just on GN.

May I suggest windups are ignored, threads on the Sussex couple have been removed caused by replying to windups.

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Feb-24 09:22:41

Yes, our ES and his wife made false unsubstantiated allegations too Callistemon. As you say it's something that happens in everyday life and not just on GN.

You could just do one per post. You could make two, three or more posts to verify your claim. Or is it easier just to make unfounded accusations and not have to prove them?

Spite comes to mind. Harry was extremely spiteful in his book towards Catherine and William.

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Feb-24 09:25:59

I take your point Annie but I do think that vague and unpleasant allegations of hatred should be dealt with.

Apologies Mollygo my post @ 09.22 was in response to you, not Callistemon.

Thank you Monica.
I started the thread and didn’t initially see the slightly double entendre in the thread. You gave me a smile on this horrible, grey morning.
He has indeed lost his appeal hasn’t he? grin

Anniebach Thu 29-Feb-24 09:34:40

Harry’s brother had a bigger bedroom and when Harry left home his step mother took his bedroom and used it as a dressing room, surely any man in their late 30’s would be so
distressed by this 😪

Anniebach Thu 29-Feb-24 09:35:44

I understand Smileless

vague and unpleasant allegations of hatred

It’s got a name: it’s called bullying.
It’s trying to close posters and discussion down by making unfounded accusations.
It’s a tactic used by people in all walks of life when they want to close down discussions. Gransnet is no different.

Anniebach Thu 29-Feb-24 09:38:09

Yes Maddyone that describes the allegations of hatred perfectly.

Are we saying that Harry and Meghan get no hatred across various media?

If not then saying that all the hatred that gets drummed up against them puts them and their children at physical risk is an absolutely valid point that people are at liberty to type anywhere.

Maybe the onus should be on those who do not think highly of them to prove they aren't hated because that's not my experience and I doubt it is theirs

AGAA4 Thu 29-Feb-24 10:53:03

Hatred is a very strong word and I feel that it's more disapproval of the way Harry has behaved towards his family.
If he and his family are in danger it's Harry himself who has put them there.

Is that the royal we or are you now claiming to speak for others?

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Feb-24 10:59:03

Thank you Annie smile.

I agree with Annie that your post ^describes the allegations of hatred perfectly maddy.

I don't know how many bedrooms H & M have in their mansion but surely there are enough for him to get over his bedroom 'trauma'.

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Feb-24 11:00:42

hatred across various media doesn't equate to hatred being expressed here on GN.

Rosie51 Thu 29-Feb-24 11:19:53

Not thinking highly of someone because of things they've said or done is not hatred. You have expressed dislike of things posters have said, does that mean you hate those posters?

It's for those who have asserted there are hateful posts on this thread to reference the individual posts and not just make sweeping unjustified accusations. The fact that none have been cited is indicative that it is just empty posturing.

Was Glorianny's assertion that Charles is not affectionate so probably won't care about not seeing his grandchildren hatred? It was a spiteful thing to say.

Jaberwok Thu 29-Feb-24 11:33:05

Harry has, by anybody's standards, treated his family particularly his elderly grandparents appallingly, even to the point of allowing his once much loved SIL along with his father, to be accused of racism. Unfortunately this once much loved Prince has become very unlovely. Feelings of hatred ? No, sadness that this 'turncoats' unpopularity has been totally engineered by himself. Spiteful comments even extended to his school matron would you believe? Compromising other people's privacy, yuk!! What Harry has become is actually a tragedy and all for money! How could he? As for his security? No I don't think so, just be grateful you're offered anything at all at tax payers expense.

I do not have to prove anything , I dislike liars, people who cause hurt to others, dislike is not hate, obviously you experience hate
