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.

Who on this thread has said So promoting and publicising the Invictus games is pointless. Glorianny apart from you just now?

Evidence?

Try reading the post I have quoted from easybee and then perhaps you could stop trying to attribute blame to me all the time. It really is boring Mollygo
But just incase you can't cope with reading two posts easybee said
made the most of the very comfortable, if pointless, life he has chosen for himself,
As one of the things which benefits from this "pointless" life is the Invictus games it must by association be "pointless"

He should be very afraid of being sued.

If elected, Trump is coming for he and Meghan, and not in a good way.

I'm not a fan of H&M. However, Trump's threats are worrying Not because he's threatening those two, but because it confirms his spiteful need to 'go after' people he doesn't like.

Apart from anything else - doesn't America have more pressing problems that he should be addressing. I would not have thought that Harry and Meghan are top of many American's list of concerns.

No-one at all it is all more a figment of imagination.

The Invictus Games are brilliant. Well done Harry.

But this thread is ostensibly about Harry, and it is time he grew up and made the most of the very comfortable, if pointless, life he has chosen for himself, rather than wasting his and other people's time and money on pursuing useless vendettas against the press and the palace and his family.

So promoting and publicising the Invictus games is pointless. I bet thousands of ex-service personnel and their families would disagree with you.

According to Diana

Yes Sparklefizz reportedly 1989, Squidgygate pre 1990 Diana
feared she was pregnant.

According to ... er... who?

I am Team Diana here and I don't apologise for that. Yes, she had affairs but I don't think she would have done if she had felt loved and supported in her marriage. She had every right to expect that and her health suffered.

When I see my granddaughter at age 19 and think of what Diana had to cope with at that age .....

I'm not Team Anyone but this is all history in the making.

Yes Sparklefizz, I do hope Diana had some proper happy times, somehow, somewhere. Or what was the point? Did real contentment elude her, and has that feeling been passed on to Harry?

Yes, I think it did. She was very needy, both of true love and attention, probably as a result of her upbringing and she seems to have passed that trait on to Harry.
I hope he's found his true love but it seems he hasn't overcome the need for attention.

What evidence of their relationship before the divorce?

How about this Annie?

Also known as “Tampongate”, a six-minute telephone call between Charles and Camilla was released by The Sunday Mirror in January 1993. The call reportedly took place in 1989, when both parties were married to other people

eazybee Sun 03-Mar-24 10:35:02

I don't know; much speculation I think, accusations from Diana and an admittance from Charles, but I do not recall photographs of them together during their marriages pre-divorce. (Charles and Camilla that is.)

Anniebach Sun 03-Mar-24 10:19:36

eazybee Sun 03-Mar-24 10:17:19

There is no right or wrong about a divorced person having affairs and relationships once the marriage is ended, but they can and do cause distress to their children, particularly younger ones and particularly when they are conducted publicly.
There was much speculation about Charles and Camilla but little evidence of their relationship following the divorce.

Diana knew she was in the public eye and she foolishly played up to the paparazzi during that last holiday and it ended in tragedy.

Speaking of Diana’s affairs brings criticism from her fans, that she spoke of them herself, no matter,

Never been any proof of Camilla yet all is accepted

Isn't Camilla herself the proof? A lot of kings have had mistresses, few of them made one queen. I mean there is Henry V111, but he went a bit too far.

you are right; useless! no need for!

Cheers lemsip!
No need for half the thread here really then!
Nor many of the comments on the whole of GN really! grin

Joseann Sun 03-Mar-24 08:28:47

I think Hewitt was number 1, wasn't he?
Useless piece of information alert ..... when we moved to a village on the Exe, the estate agent showed us round a house that was almost next door to Hewitt's mother's cottage and riding school. He told us that apparently the mother was always around when Diana visited. The comment about there were three in the marriage made me laugh later - three in the affair too!
We ended up living in the next village. The affair is still occasionally alluded to in passing.

^And Fayed wasn't involved in the breakdown of the marriage.^
Another piece of insider knowledge?
I don’t know how far back and with whom Diana’s affairs were exposed.

No, Fayed was Number 7.

Not counting Charles, of course.

Do marriages break down only if a third person is involved

No, but it doesn't help. Its especially tough for children who have then to accept someone their mother despised.
