Do we think after seeing the magnificence of yesterday that he is regretting giving it all up?

He looks so angry and unhappy all the time now?

I meant he looks miserable before the Queen died. That video of him and Meghan where he was giving a speech said a lot I think. He looked uncomfortable with her

Did he actually though?
I keep seeing videos showing his apparent discomfort but there’s always an original showing the opposite.

augustusglupe · 20/09/2022 11:25

He's got no purpose. He must have at least another 30 years of working life in him, he's young and seems to do nothing really.
If he worked a job he loved or really threw himself into charity work, instead of getting all bitter and twisted about all the wrongs the RF has apparently done, I sure he'd be a lot happier.

Kinderbuenos · 20/09/2022 11:25

I imagine he is delighted to be out of it but he should just stop trying to monetise his dislike of his family. I don’t think he is wrong to want to stay away from them but he is wrong to try and destroy them.

What he clearly can’t see is that he is destroying himself in the process

Well he’s not the brightest is he? He probably can’t see his own role in all this. Good riddance to him. No one wants him here.

You don’t speak for everyone though do you?

PersonaNonGarter · 20/09/2022 11:28

He looks like he’s eaten wasps. Not sad so much as pissed off.

Cheer up Harry, you poor rich, healthy, privileged thing.

User1754983 · 20/09/2022 11:29

He would have been better off if he could have just stayed in the armed forces, he seemed happier then

RaRaRaspoutine · 20/09/2022 11:31

So many of you are seeing what you want to see, contrary to what he's actually said (he was "living in a bubble" before). Stop projecting onto people you don't know. I can't wait for them to both be back in California having happy lives.

HappyHamsters · 20/09/2022 11:32

I dont think we will see much of them, just some weddings and funerals. I guess he might miss some of his family but he chose his life with M in America now.

Acheyknees · 20/09/2022 11:33

I don't think he would want to come back but also I'm not sure he's happy in the US either. Shame he didn't go to Africa and do some conservation or charity work there. He always seemed at ease there.

Floweryflora · 20/09/2022 11:33

Of course he will have regrets. This is still his family and it must have been incredibly awkward given all their trash talking for money. Esespecially with them both witnessing world leaders turning up to pay their respects like that and everyone of them knowing the pair of them have been selling grubby stories for cash and fame. I suspect even Meghan has regrets. It’s toe curling really.

They won’t leave the states but hopefully they can come to some agreement where the attacks stop but I suspect with his book coming out that boat has Sailed

I agree. I haven't seen him crack a smile since he left the RF. That UN speech was so cringeworthy, with her pulling his hand into her lap and him trying to pull it away while looking like death .....I worry about him tbh. He looks like someone who is suffering from serious depression. With all Meghan's talk about how nobody ever asked if she was OK, I do wonder if she ever checks that her husband is OK.

He's looked unhappy and angry since he got married tbh!!

This

whoamI00 · 20/09/2022 11:38

People tend to justify their decision, so no.

Kissingfrogs25 · 20/09/2022 11:38

I think I could see more regret in a Meghan’s face. Harry just looked furious, not sad but furious. Disturbing to see at such a special funeral.

I thought it was petty not to sing the National anthem so publicly, that speaks volumes quite frankly of the direction he is going to choose.

I fear he will go ahead with the book launch regardless and become a really hated figure. I imagine he is used to being centre stage and is struggling with being sidelined

caringcarer · 20/09/2022 11:44

He always looks miserable and angry now. He must be missing his children. It also probably reminded him of his Mum's funeral. I hope he will be happier back in US. I hope he does not write about RF again in book. He could just write about his life with Meghan his kids, and himself. If he chooses to write about RF again, it will all kick off again and it will be his fault if he gets cut off.

MysteriesOfTheOrganism · 20/09/2022 11:45

Wherever you go you take your problems with you.

HappyHamsters · 20/09/2022 11:47

When did he not sing the National Anthem

TrashyPanda · 20/09/2022 11:49

He just looks so angry all the time (not just since HM died)

popping into MMs video by juggling in the background just like a court jester is pretty sad.

BucketofTeaMassiveCake · 20/09/2022 11:51

It's hard to say, really. The trouble is that he's burned his bridges which has big consequences, which with hindsight, he may have wished to avoid.

diddl · 20/09/2022 11:52

I think I could see more regret in a Meghan’s face.

Regret of what though?

What they wanted to do iirc "half in half out" wasn't an option & surely still wouldn't be.

They would always have to figure out a "non Royal" path for their kids as well I would have thought.

Shortandfurry301 · 20/09/2022 11:53

None of us have a clue how he is thinking.

HappyPeach · 20/09/2022 11:54

Of course he misses it, he just can't admit that right now. In future he will.

maddy68 · 20/09/2022 11:55

I think all the negative press towards Megan will absolutely confirm his reasons for leaving

FlorettaB · 20/09/2022 11:56

Well we’ll all find out what he’s feeling when his book comes out.

HappyHamsters · 20/09/2022 11:57

Maybe they feel isolated from family, the only family they have in the USA is M mum.
