Meg and Harry supporting race and mental health charities in UK

[Sprining]

Brilliant to hear this. They have approached three charities in UK including Mind and a charity to increase diversity in the media and press.

Great, doing good based on their experiences.

I think she would have hated seeing her kids drifting apart. They seemed so close not all that long ago.

Truly, lt’s hard to get your head around this. But it’s true.

CBS bought and broadcast Pap shots of Princess Diana from the car crash.

They were taken as she lay dying in the car wreckage.

Harry is working with CBS.

Oh wow I had no idea they did that. Why on earth would he want to work for them, surely that's absolutely indefensible. Is his need for more money really worth losing all his morals over?

I doubt he even realises it.

Because it is Oprah and the network she is on

Apparently for Oprah all your morals and dignity go out the window

If things were really that serious, then surely the queen would drop everything, hand over to Charles for a little bit while she pays a vigil by her husband' side. She would not be jokingly unveiling statues, preaching about vaccines etc. - Mummy195

I’m aghast at this statement. He’s 99 & she’s 94. She has more sense of duty in her fingernail than Harry has in his entire body. Shame on you.

Well he would have been told if not but he sacked all his British advisers

The queen could hardly sit at the hospital anyway because we are in a pandemic

Something else Harry seems to not be to bothered about. Else he would his whole truth freak show in a year or two

All these latest actions by H&M are just them doubling down on the initial mistake - which was them giving the interview in the first place.

I'm astounded how tone deaf they are. It may garner them more support in the UK - maybe - but I don't think it will shore up support in the UK - and they may start to lose initial supporters.

Support in the US, I meant to write..

@satishoused

I thought Harry already worked with MH charities? Didn't he even start his own with William? That's why I was so surprised that Megan was denied MH support, Harry "didn't know what to do", felt "ashamed" and didn't move heaven and earth to get urgent MH support for his suicidal, pregnant wife.

(Sorry - way behind here.)

I hadn’t actually thought of it that way. Put like that, it’s very odd and confusing.

I did remember that Diana had had psychological and psychiatric help from very early on (and posted about it the other day) but I had completely forgotten that the “Heads together” thing involves Harry.

Communication must be very bad in that family, or in that institution, or both. Either that or Harry’s own issues are more severe and have contributed more to the whole cock-up than is widely realised.

If he still feels too ashamed about his wife’s suicidal ideation too just tell his family and staff straight about it, then maybe nothing he relays between is full and accurate information? Maybe he has - totally inadvertently- made it all worse?

To not too^^

To Oprah, Gail King and CBS all of this is just business and money.

Oprah is a business woman. You don’t make a squillion $$$ on philanthropy...

Stop trying to hide behind PP. He was not on death's door evidently. If he was, everyone would have dropped everything. Simple as that.

Sorry I didn't mean that about Oprah

I meant to be having an interview with Oprah or being her friend

And stop trying to undermine another black woman, Oprah. She worked hard for years to get where she is. You are trying to make her out to be some kind of shady character, which she definitely is not.

Get off your soap box

Can't believe anyone thinks a 99 year old man in hospital having an operation is not serious. However a trashy interview is to important to be delayed. We live in a strange world 🤷‍♀️

Get off your soap box

What a clever retort!

I think H & M are the kiss of death to any charity to be honest.

All they're interested in is self promotion.

Surely everyone can see there is definitely a profit motive for Oprah, Gayle & the networks? No matter if they had other motives too?

Whatever ethnicity you are and wherever you stand on the whole scandal, you would be naive to think the money doesn’t matter to the media figures involved.

@HmmmmmmInteresting

Mummy195 - I thought about reporting your posts. Now I’d rather not report them so people can see the sort of person you are.

Nobody is undermining Oprah, she is an astute business woman. A sharp as a tack self made billionaire!
This relationship with H&M is an incredible business partnership, she has played a blinder.

Yes it's just a derailment tactic to try to get threads deleted. Shut down debate. Don't like inaccuracies on what the RF's role is in UK.

Kept happening last week, some interesting posts on the threads and the same posters kept turning up to announce "Mumsnet should really take the thread down now"....after me and others ignoring being called racist and bigots throughout and just rolling with it.

Always best not to rise to the usual insults as what is wanted is loads of deletions so the thread can't be read clearly. Again there's lots of interesting points made on this thread.
