I don’t recall Charles doing anything akin to what Harry is up to.
In fact, I don’t recall anyone going off on one so ballistically

His mum had a fair crack at it in the 90’s.

I watched the interview last night rather than rely on commentary. It reinforced my opinion that too much navel gazing is not helpful in moving forward. His demands for accountability and apologies from his family are astounding. If he really believes this very public whingeing about his privileged life and trashing his family are the way to move forward and achieve reconciliation he’s deluded. He actively feeds the appetite of the press about which he is utterly paranoid. This isn’t going to end well.

I would think the phone hacking enquiry and the amount of times the press have been sued to know there's not a lot of checking for accuracy. I think it's brave of him to stand up to them. Look what they did to innocent civilians like Christopher Jeffries, the Fowler family, Amanda Knox, the Hillsborough victims were they feeding the appetite of the press.

It's up to him if feels his family owes him an apology. Some of his family don't come across as good people.

His wife has been Compared to Cost and had suggested sexual violence against her and it was only pulled because of public outrage and a letter signed by female MPs. The family did nothing. That's the mother of the Kings Grandchildren and he did nothing.

Compared to Cost? I'm not sure what you mean by that...

I suspect he and M have had their moments of spotlight and they will gradually become old news.

I read somewhere that Random House publishers were worried about the effect that the Netflix series would have on sales of Harry’s book. When they signed the deal, over 18 months ago they apparently weren’t aware that the couple had sold out to so many other people, and are now re-examining the multi book deal, reportedly worth around $£35m.

You persist in doing this

The sort of thing a child in the playground might say.

And you are the child.

The ‘preview’ button is useful WellsRose.

Some of the ideas are totally believable, like the reinvention of Camilla

Nothing surprising about that. Anyone who follows the doings of the RF will be well aware of Camilla’s reinvention. All done very subtly and cleverly. Transferring her role from mistress to consort. Wasn’t it known as ‘Operation PB’ ?

And Camilla has dealt with it all admirably, as other members of the RF have accepted the situation and moved on with good grace.

Yes, well I have told you several times but clearly you didn't assimilate it, and have decided to keep doing it because you think its funny. Or something.

A completely different poster told me a few weeks ago that she didn't like the abbreviation that I used for her name, so I stopped using it. But then I'm a grown up.

How he can expect King Charles to communicate with him after he has seriously rubbished Camilla I don’t know.

Charles has always put Camilla above his first wife and children.

As for Camilla being at the wedding, my Mum had her boyfriend at her Wedding Anniversary meal. It was excruciatingly embarrassing for my sister and I. Everybody in the room knew what was going on and it was humiliating for my stepdad. My sister has been affected in much the same way as Harry in that it has had a devastating impact on her relationship with my mother. I was at Boarding School most of the time but I worried about my stepdad as I watched him fall apart on occasions.

I think he is brave to take on the press but think he is in a Catch22 situation. If he stays silent, people think what the press are saying must be true. If he confronts what they are saying, they spin things like mad and social media joins in too. He can't really win.

Daisymae Mon 09-Jan-23 11:05:13

The thing is that Harry, like so many others, wants to control the narrative. He's using the press to vent his anger but the press is a Tiger by the tail. I suspect that there's a lot he wouldn't want in the public domain, however it's possible some others may feel free to tell all - following in his footsteps.

Pammie1 Mon 09-Jan-23 11:09:20

Charles obviously had to have had an attraction to Diana in order to produce kids with her, he may have cared for her in the beginning as she was a pretty girl, sweet and innocent- but it doesn't mean he loved her or was willing to sacrifice for her, or be faithful long term. He always had Camilla on the back burner, waiting until his job of fathering kids was done, it seems.

And this man will be created Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of Faiths !!

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 09-Jan-23 11:10:47

Indeed. H can’t gamble on everyone who knows him keeping the dignified silence that his family have.

That was a comment on Daisymae’s post.

How do you know that WellsRose?

Your posts are so full of certainty that I wonder if you have a contact at the Palace? A mole?

I was wondering that, Calli. A wealth of knowledge.

Because there been no public statement or is there one you know of?

Jaberwok Mon 09-Jan-23 11:23:11

The Church of England was founded on divorce, adultery, remarriage and legitimacy. It has also crowned one divorced king, George 1st, so I don't think there'll be too many ecclesiastical qualms about Charles and Camilla!

Yes I'm aware of the preview button but I've got a learning disability (doesn't affect my intelligence) and my attention to detail is poor although I try.

Elegran Mon 09-Jan-23 11:25:45

Iam64 There are posters diagnosing ‘paranoia’, rubbishing the therapy PH has engaged in. Being upset, angry and anxious about members of your family briefing the press against you is a normal not paranoid response

I don't quite get which members of the family were briefing the press against someone. All the clyping to the press (and the public) that I have seen has been from Harry and Meghan. The RF have kept schtum - are they entitled to be upset, angry and anxious?

His father hasn't always kept a dignified silence . We also don't know if they leak to the press.

So innumerable people on here spouting forth about what Meghan really wanted and how Harry feels, with no more knowledge than what they read in the press, or make up in their rather biased minds. But somebody who states an actual fact gets told that they can't possibly know that.

WellsRose, sorry to say this but its nice to have the Gransnet Eye of Sauron pointed at somebody other than me for a change. smile
