Obviously, the Oprah interview with the Sussexes.

I will because I want to hear it straight from the source rather than media spin/interpretation so that I can comment later on what I saw and heard, when discussions start up as they surely will.

However, I don’t think they should be doing an interview at all (I felt the same about Diana and Charles interviews) these things end up backfiring against them.

I could have sent him DD2's old bike if I'd known (it was a girls' bike though and would have been third hand by then).

Callistemon Wed 10-Mar-21 20:40:36

I have more bike stories but perhaps for another time, another thread. In fact, I'm sure Harry and I could discuss bikes amicably for hours.

Ok then if the bike photo looks awkward, try these. Fun in the snow with his father.

William's bike is very new and swish though isn't it?

Callistemon Wed 10-Mar-21 20:56:06

It is trisher, he wouldn't have been happy with DD2's old bike.

Lovely photos, good to see happy times.

trisher Wed 10-Mar-21 21:46:13

I was just wondering do you suppose William had his own sledge?

There is a picture of Harry with his own snowboard.
Perhaps it was William's old one

Can’t recall seeing these photographs on the front pages

Callistemon Wed 10-Mar-21 21:57:59

He had a deprived early childhood because he didn't have a bike. I bet he had to borrow these from his brother:

Annie Pictures of the children and their parents on holiday and enjoying themselves was staple fare for the tabloids and weekly magazines like 'Hallo'. But, like the current royal children their parents did try to protect them from constant intrusive photography. Usually an agreed photo opportunity on the first day and then they would be left alone.

These photos of Harry are adorable. What a lovely child he was. It’s sad he doesn’t remember happy times in his childhood, although the loss of his mother possibly blighted his ability to remember the good times. Also on these photos Charles doesn’t look like the starchy father he’s often been portrayed as, he seems to be happy with his boys.

Elegran I appreciate your time explaining "passive agressive".
