Their silence is by far the best policy. It speaks volumes.

Smileless2012 Fri 13-Jan-23 20:02:10

I agree varian. You can't win with someone like H so it's better to say nothing and wait for the interest in him and his book to die down, which it will eventually.

In fact it appears to be dying down already, maybe far quicker than H anticipated.

I wonder if your own business team congratulates- well, are you indeed congratulating yourself for accomplishing?

Smileless2012 Fri 13-Jan-23 22:52:12

I think that's the only congratulations he's had or ever likely to get.

maddyone Fri 13-Jan-23 23:01:05

tickingbird I’m so sorry about your daughter in law, son, and grandchildren. What a devastating thing to happen. flowers

He's starting to look quite scary 😲

Apparently Harry has said he wants to ‘fix’ the monarchy and he is concerned for Williams’s children. I’m not going to speculate on the state of Harry’s mental health, but it does strike me as being rather delusional to imagine that he can ‘fix’ the monarchy, whatever that might mean. What does he think he can do to ‘fix’ it I wonder? And it’s pointless him being concerned about Williams’s children as he never sees them and after all this furore is unlikely to see them again before they reach adulthood I imagine.

It's not just the RF though is it? Harry can save the world and all that is wrong in it, if only everyone does as he preaches. He knows how to fix his family, the press, the environment, politics, because he has seen the light and "healed" himself and he needs us all to follow. Disbelievers, whether it's a political point or not seeing Megan as the perfect goddess, is frustrating the hell out of him and making him very, very angry. In layman terms, Harry seems to have developed a bit of a "God Complex"

maddyone, I doubt that Harry will be allowed anywhere near the Cambridge children.

Does anyone else feel that this awful situation has a likely tragic denouement ?

Where is Harry’s wife in all this? has she lit the blue touchpaper, now standing back.
Ominous

FannyCornforth Sat 14-Jan-23 04:52:11

Yes, I agree SOGran re terrible denouement.
I think many of us do, but don’t want to say it out loud.

No one in Hollywood or LA is going to want to touch them with a barge pole as there is zero discretion.
And if there is anything that the likes of the Clooneys, Oprah and the Obamas value - it’s discretion.
They are going to be horrified by his actions.

From what I’ve seen regarding the US press and media, he is being derided and mocked. Mocked mainly
Meghan will have already plotted her way out I reckon

nanna8 Sat 14-Jan-23 05:31:25

Just reading through this and so sorry to hear what happened, tickingbird. 💐
No one wants to hear people rubbish their family but I imagine PH has been so protected and surrounded by fawning sycophants that he doesn’t know what is appropriate behaviour. I am sure his dear wife doesn’t help, either,with the way she is behaves in her own family.

Ailidh Sat 14-Jan-23 06:21:36

I read the news article this morning about Harry saying that there was even worse to say that hadn't been said, and I also got a tragic denouement feel about it. It all feels very loose cannon. It must be very worrying for his family.

I also wonder if Meghan is finding herself in a Wallis situation - stuck with someone who won't let her go. I've long felt that Wallis Simpson rescued the Monarchy from that particular loose cannon; I wonder if history is repeating itself.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Jan-23 08:31:52

I don't like the passive-aggressive threat that there's much more to come, particularly about William and Charles, and that this book only contains 50%. Honestly, I could push him into the dog's bowl myself smile

Harry's arrogance is breathtaking that he wants to fix the Monarchy et al shockconfused He needs to fix himself first and is a very poor advert for 7 years of therapy.

Smileless2012 Sat 14-Jan-23 08:58:49

I wonder if the acknowledged therapists in his book are wishing they hadn't been acknowledged. He's not a very good advert.

Anniebach Sat 14-Jan-23 09:01:54

Diana - ‘i Will not go quietly , that’s the problem , I will fight to the end because I believe I have a role to fulfil’ .

maddyone Sat 14-Jan-23 09:04:36

Oh yes Annie, I remember Diana saying that. What a sad and sorry situation it all is.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Jan-23 09:19:31

I have just read online that in his book, Harry describes his
£32 million tax-payer funded wedding as a "shoe-string wedding".

I haven't read the book - is it true that he says this??

maddyone Sat 14-Jan-23 10:14:21

Gosh! Can that possibly be true? If, and I say if, it’s true, then he’s even more entitled than I thought. Oh dear, it’s quite unbelievable given the wealth and privilege he was brought up with. And he and Meghan tell us to ‘be kind’ and support charities for people without privilege or money. Such hypocrisy.

Sparklefizz Sat 14-Jan-23 10:23:16

If it's true, it's a comment by someone with an addled brain.

OnwardandUpward Sat 14-Jan-23 10:31:00

HOW can H think that by spilling the beans about private matters he is in fact "healing" his family?

I don't know what he has smoked or who he has been listening to..... but I doubt any family was healed by someone breaking confidentiality, selling their soul to the highest bidder and telling "their truth".

Smileless2012 Sat 14-Jan-23 10:45:45

An addled brain for sure if it is true Sparklefizz perhaps someone whose read the book can confirm or deny.

eazybee Sat 14-Jan-23 10:49:57

From what I read about the book it is extremely well-written and skilfully presented to show its subject in a flattering light. All destroyed every time the subject opens his mouth.

OnwardandUpward Sat 14-Jan-23 10:50:43

In the UK, human rights are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. The Act gives effect to the human rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Article 8 - the right to respect for your family and private life, your home and your correspondence is one the rights protected by the Human Rights Act.

Fast forward 25 or so years, maddyone

Charles sits in his garden at Highgrove, enjoying the peace and tranquillity, thankful that he decided that monarchs should be able to retire and enjoy a few peaceful years in their dotage.
William and Catherine are enjoying their incognito world cruise on a ship captained by their son Louis.
George, meantime, having decided being King wasn't for him, captains the England football team to victory in the World cup.

Queen Charlotte is expected to welcome the new President of the United States, her cousin Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, to a state banquet at the refurbished Buckingham Palace. It's interesting to note that they have never met before despite their close family links.

You saw it here first 😁
