Volver - I confess to not always agreeing with you so I think this means I won’t be accused of being your wingman/person, whatever that is.

A word of thanks from me for your determination to discuss PH and his difficult life experiences in a calm, non judgemental way.

Glorryannie - same to you, thanks for seeing Harry’s struggles without resorting to rubbishing him and his attempt to tell his truth.

Really? I'm disappointed.

I don't think the two posters mentioned can be described as calmor non-judgemental.

Their views on the Royal Family are hardly objective nor ever have been.

Others on threads have expressed concern about Harry and what he has said and written - for the sake of his own wellbeing and that of his own family.
He seems to have pressed a self-destruct button and I fear this will rebound on him.

I’m watching it. Tom Bradby is doing a better job than I thought he would.

Have just watched the entire interview on catch up. I agree that Tom Bradby did a good job. He challenged Harry on certain aspects, which H didn’t always like.

I think Tom was a bit taken aback with some of what he was hearing, but he ploughed on.

My DIL tells me the Royal threads on MN haven’t been taken down by MNHQ. There’s been a technical issue (Russians) and they’re working to get them back up.

I’m joking re Russians btw grin

Thanks for your support Norah. I meant nothing other than to express concern for someone whose actions I don’t approve of, but who appears to be unwell.

OnwardandUpward Mon 09-Jan-23 20:21:55

Meanwhile on Mumsnet, all the Royal posts have been removed

Someone must have said some really nasty things there...

volver Mon 09-Jan-23 20:21:50

I've had enough of this thread and the posters who have spent weeks calling Harry all the names under then sun and are now trying to convince us they are concerned about him and that he should get help.

If I was overstepping the mark, so are GNHQ, who have deleted. I would say more but can't do it without repeating the offending comment. You seem to forget he is a real person. Talking about M&H seems to send people bonkers. Enough already.

Well I believe that saying you can see anybody taking their own life, on an open forum, when that person has already experienced suicidal ideation in their own family, is despicable. Especially when said completely out of nowhere with no corroboration.

There are some lines that should not be crossed and I think you have crossed one of them.

Oh my. The lines that are crossed, here, on GN, are many.

You, volver, with truly superior intellect, memory, writing skills, I suspect education and career, honestly know that you are the one crossing lines here. GSM didn't suggest anything despicable -- she stated a concern.

I fully agree with GSM. I don't even read about the RF except here and the tiny bit I pick up before I mute them if I'm listening to news. I'm neutral to them, but I can still think that Harry has had a tough life with seemingly less that appropriate parenting / family-ing. He may need help, I think there should be concern - no need for corroboration to post a personal thought.

No need for you to be a thread monitor either. You are being unkind.

Well amazing how many GNers are experts on therapy, body language and mental health issues.
If Harry had grinned all the way through the interview he would have been criticised for not taking things seriously. Have a serious face and he can't be happy.
He stated very clearly why he has written Spare and made the documentary, so that he can move on. He may have said things that don't suit some peoples perceptions, his truth may not be someone else's. But anyone with any knowledge of people's experiences and how they report them will know that no two people see any event exactly the same. It's his life story, he has a right to tell it. And those people condemning him and trying to pretend they are concerned about him would do better confronting their own prejudices and consider what it is in them Harry has disturbed.

Harry has disturbed nothing in me. Nor most other Gransnetters I imagine. Why does anyone care that William had a bigger bedroom or the brothers had a fight? I’ve no idea why Harry is spilling all this absolute rubbish apart from to get money. When people are worrying over their energy bills or their food bills it just makes him come across as entitled and out of touch with the real world that the rest of us live in. Poor little rich boy!

OnwardandUpward Mon 09-Jan-23 19:51:14

If I was KC I would be looking at getting him into a treatment centre for assessment, rest, recuperation and support.

If he carries on in this disordered way, who knows who he will damage next. He's already put himself and his family in danger because he is not acting in the best interests of himself or his family.

No doubt terrible things have happened, for example Jeremy Clarkson's vile comments.

Good points.

Poor man sad

Well said eazybee

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 09-Jan-23 19:11:18

I agree.

Great post eazybee.

sodapop Mon 09-Jan-23 19:05:27

Well put eazybee I agree with you.

eazybee Mon 09-Jan-23 18:53:39

I doubt if Harry's behaviour has disturbed anyone's beliefs but most people can see disaster looming for this silly man as he wages a jealousy-fuelled vendetta against his own family, floundering ever deeper in a mess of his own making.

There is an innate sense of decency in most people which prohibits enjoyment in watching a family at war, and most are thankful that the royal family is refusing to engage against Harry. He is the agent of his own destruction, and it is not a pleasant spectacle.

Joseanne I’m so very sorry my love thanks

Of course, we are women who have so much wisdom.
There are some muppets on here, but GN is a special platform where we can talk

Well amazing how many GNers are experts on therapy, body language and mental health issues.

I beg to differ having been part of the suicide within the family thread last week.

Actually some of us do know quite a bit about it! Both training and experience.

The quote was Gloiranny being sarcastic.

lemsip Mon 09-Jan-23 18:28:14

in the american interview harry was asked about the passage in his book that ran down william, here it is

When asked by Cooper about a particularly 'cutting' passage in his book in which he details his brother William's 'alarming baldness' and his 'famous resemblance' to their mother Princess Diana - which the Duke wrote was 'fading with time, with age' - Harry claimed he saw nothing 'cutting' about that passage, nor any other in the memoir.

'I don’t see it as cutting at all,' Harry fired back.
