Original poster

To be a bit gleeful about Harry's court case

Serves him right. He's made millions from Netflix, book deals and accusing them of being racist. Bit odd he's now coming back.

Will the King pay his debts.I hope not. Now the long suffering public will be fleeced for his security costs which will be around £5m a yea r. And they wonder why they are unpopular.

Its not us who has put them at the very beginning of the BBC news yesterday. Putin bombing Ukraine and threatening the UK. No. Its those two making the headlines Ukraine was second. So don't blame posters. Harry and Meghan being forced down our throats at every turn I thought they wanted privacy.

Omg the irony, though it's probably wasted on you.

Geeeez you do know H&M don’t control what the press print don’t you?

Focus on your own life and your own community. You seem weirdly obsessed with them.

So Harry discovered when he tried to control them via the courts…

"Gleeful"? No.

But I would like to see the Sussexes held to account by the British press for some of the lies they've told, and inconsistencies in their behaviour. An interview with Emily Maitlis would be good.

Do you feel the same about Elton John OP? What about Doreen Lawrence? They were co claimants and also owe this money amongst others.

It's ghoulish how so many people on here and joyously rubbing their hands with glee at any perceived misfortune of Harry it Meghan. Seriously, get a hobby or a life of your own. Ghouls.

But all of them knew they were lying about the evidence they were presenting. The original incidents were way outside the allowed time for prosecution so newer up to date versions of the same info were fabricated to bring it within the time allowed for sueing. There were loads of emails about it presented during the trial that showed how the intention was to innocently pretend they'd all "only just read this story, honest, just today, never seen it before today" for stuff that was published 30 years ago.

They knew they were lying, they went into knowing they were lying. Who the original instigator was I don't know but I suspect Harry, and for whatever reason the others joined him. Bad, bad decision.

Absolute rubbish. I trust you are not trying to insinuate I am racist as you would have no proof of that for the simple truth I’m not.

ExtraOnions · 21/08/2026 17:59

It was a weak case, should never have gone to court.

Yes. It says a lot about that poster, that I have no interest in engaging with.

You’re criticising him for balding? Pathetic.

Show quote history

I can't help remembering Harry's unpleasant gibes about William going bald, a few years back. His going bald himself feels like poetic justice: he went on about it as if it were a moral failing in his brother, and now he's going to have to suck it up if people do the same about him.

The Daily Mail is a cancer, their coverage of anything H&M is nothing short of demented. A quick glance at the comments under any of the thousands of articles they've written about them makes me genuinely fearful about the kind of people who walk among us. I genuinely don't think they'll be happy until there's a divorce or death.

They are sad people, imo. To be spewing such vitriol, that they must be carrying inside, cannot be easy though.

But if successful this action would have affected the freedom to investigate for every newspaper, e.g. the Guardian etc. I am no fan of the DM but I do value press freedom.

Show quote history

I agree. Following on from the Leveson Inquiry where the press were rightly held to account, they have to be far more careful what they print so that it falls within the law. No one is above criticism or comment and the press should be free to do this.

So you are happy the Queen paid out millions for Andrew but hoping Harry gets nothing? Think you need to review your thoughts

Show quote history

Where did it say they were happy about the Queens actions? Im on a bus so it might not be loading correctly admittedly

Personally I think the late Queen was wrong and Charles is wrong if he bails his idiotic son out once again
