It was inevitable but in this I feel very sorry for his siblings and daughters.

I feel sorry for his siblings and daughters for being related to him.

Yeah I don’t see him as representing the monarchy. He’s allowed to be a son walking behind his mother’s coffin. Not the time and place for shouting at him.

Comedycook · 12/09/2022 17:39

Good.

Itsnevertheend · 12/09/2022 17:40

Completely not the right time or place. Obviously i do not condone what he has done but this was not appropriate and Im glad people stepped in.

QuebecBagnet · 12/09/2022 17:41

I was talking to someone yesterday who actually defended him though, said if she’d been English it wouldn’t have been illegal because she was 16yo and as a handsome Prince he was used to girls throwing themselves at him. But as I said, it’s not like he was 20yo at the time! He was n his 40s and is a creepy pervert. Don’t think I convinced her though.

Whenever I see him on tv now I act like Father Jack and start swearing at the screen. It's an instant (and uncontrollable) reaction to seeing him.

Beezknees · 12/09/2022 17:41

Good. I do not feel sorry for his children or siblings either. I feel sorry for the women he abused.

IdiotCreatures · 12/09/2022 17:42

I'll just wait until I see him in my local Tesco, shall I?
Man should be sent to a dessert island with enough supplies to last him two weeks and a basic survival guide.
Not paraded around as if his birth means he's special.

Hang on, let's just be clear. There is no planet in the universe where heckling is worse than paedophilia.

The man is awful and a whole lot more but he’s not a pedophile.

TooMuchToDoTooLittleInclination · 12/09/2022 17:43

I agree that it's not the time or place. Have a bit of respect for the QUEEN not heckling while SHE is being taken on her final journey.

I also think if Andrew is allowed to wear military uniform to her funeral, Harry should also be allowed to or neither of them. (My preference).

I’m fairly certain St Giles has a side door if he felt the need to attend a service. He didn’t need to parade in front of the people. And his choice to do so opens him up to criticism.

I do take your point but I don’t know. His siblings were all walking behind the coffin. I don’t feel like it would be right to deprive him of that. It’s not his fault that it all has to be done in front of crowds.

Beezknees · 12/09/2022 17:43

He should be in jail right now anyway.

JustTheOneSwan · 12/09/2022 17:44

Good. I do not feel sorry for his children or siblings either. I feel sorry for the women he abused.

One doesn't rule out the other. His family aren't to blame for what he did but they are forced to have him there now, it's possible to feel sympathy for his victims and his relatives.

I'm sorry...dessert island 🤣 I think you may have scuppered your two weeks worth of food plan!

carefullycourageous · 12/09/2022 17:44

It was always going to happen, the issue hasn't gone away has it?

Ha. She paid his settlement so he wouldn't end up in jail. I don't respect her.

inigomontoyahwillcox · 12/09/2022 17:45

Completely agree with the sentiments of the heckler - don't agree with his timing through.

Each to their own but personally I think he should be in jail, never mind walking in a royal precession.

My abuser wasn’t allowed out of jail for his mother’s funeral and that’s how it should be. Don’t want to lose privileges then don’t do stuff like that 🤷‍♀️

Than man is odious and a predator, but he's not a child abuser .

His relatives live a life of privilege and are largely unaffected. I'm not wasting my time feeling sorry for them.

He deserves all he gets and more. The queen shielded him and paid off his accuser - the amount of fawning over them on a parent site is really disturbing.

But the funeral isn't until Monday. He can stay away until then. The pervert.

Could not agree more, and whoever said there was needs to look at themselves.
