Harry - regretful?

[Brasschamberstick]

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?

He’s been angry for years now, he was spoilt as a child, then lost his mother at a young age, then went off the rails for a while, and hasn’t seemed to be able to process any of it.

I think they’re better off in California, but I think they’re both a bit reactive and fired off their resignations before they thought the consequences through. They thought they’d be able to dip in and out as they pleased and security would be continued etc.

The other thing I find quite surprising, is that based on the jubilee, it’s clear the Royals are actually quite a close family (cousins, children etc). He’s mostly lost all of that.

I think the reality is biting, but he will never admit it.

Isn't that the point though? Harry doesn't want that life, a life he never asked for and was born into. He knows his mum would still be alive if it hadn't been for that life. His auntie faced an attempted kidnap at gunpoint. His great uncle was assassinated. I'd be angry too if I was him.

I agree and I do believe that, eventually, things like this will go against the monarchy as an institution.

What face should somebody make at a funeral then?!
Honestly, I can't understand the vitriol against him and Meghan. If I was him I'd stay in the USA

Who knows, it was a funeral, he's not going to be beaming.

The RF is a cage. I'm sure he's happy to be out of it.

Maybe he has a resting b1tch face.

I think Harry loves his wife and hates the institution. The consistent angry vitorol towards Meghan even on the funeral day is just more evidence he made the best choice.

He's great and I respect him for standing up.

Thats fine as long as you dont cash in on the name or accept any inheritance

Royal protocol aside. As far as I can see after having physically served for this country and I quote..

"Throughout his military career, Prince Harry served in two operational deployments to Afghanistan. The first one lasted ten weeks in the Helmand Province as a Forward Air Controller from 2007-2008. The duke's second deployment was for 20 weeks from 2012 to 2013 as an Apache Pilot. At this point, the prince had reached the rank of captain and was placed in the 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment in the 16 Air Assault Brigade."

.. he has every right to wear a uniform. More right than someone who rode about in a helicopter for a while.......... as an example

Why should he not accept any inheritances passed on by his relatives?

and her dad and a pile of half siblings and cousins, in which photographs show she featured pretty heavily before she re-wrote history.
When she married her first husband, he too said-just like Harry-now she has a family she never had.
This is her line and she peddles it well=beautiful, alone, strong and brave. Only one of those adjectives apply.
The stage managing of walking down the aisle alone bravely trying to smile (!), most of it, really played into that.

Anyway, she wants to go into American politics and i'm sure she will succeed. No idea what Harry will do. Drift about scowling or maybe become the first gentleman of the USA when she is president! He can still scowl.

He’ll no doubt be a lot happier when he goes back home to family life with his wife and children and escapes the British press. Nice weather too. ☀️

Long live Prince Harry. Love him.

But the 'getting away' is all on his terms, they seem to have wanted a half in/half out role and it wasn't allowed, it was in or out, since when they have been hell bent on using their versions of events to make money. Sooner or later the public will come to realise that just because they say it happened doesn't make it true.

This type of pronouncement is more than part of the problem. Such hate. You don't speak for everyone. Personally I would think getting rid of the prurient tabloid media would be a bigger win. The decisions to run H&M headlines today (it is a choice) are just so depressing. It's like everyone has forgotten about the media obsession (and arguably persecution) of Diana.

Agree with this. He isn’t a thinker, he isn’t intellectual , he is someone who seems happiest outdoors doing physical stuff that is a bit challenging. All this inward focus and analysing his feelings doesn’t suit or help someone like him and seems to be making him more bitter and angry. He also appears to have his father’s tendency to petulance .
He reminds me of the sort of teenager who needs a good run about every day with others or they get stroppy and sulky.

He doesn't though. There are very strict rules on when veterans can wear their uniform when they leave the military and he can't. He also isn't permitted to wear them as working royals are because he is no longer a working royal as per his wishes. He isn't entitled to wear it at all yet had special permission from daddy (aka benefitting from his privilege as a royal as he claims he never has). 2 tours is a bit disingenuous as well as everyone else served 6 months as a tour whereas his was much shorter.

If theres an inheritance, he’s entitled to it. And he can talk about his past if he wishes.

I should think he couldn’t wait to get back to his kids and his happy life in California.

He’s so well out of that family and the toxic press attention.

The drama in his family is no different to that suffered by thousands of others so I have no sympathy on that score, he made his choices just like we all do.

He did look unhappy, how was he supposed to look at a funeral. I did note Meghan’s expression leaving St George’s, she looked genuinely moved, I’m not a fan of hers and was surprised.

Oh yes, they so hate press attention.
Does anyone believe that?

Hopefully wills have been amended since he buggered off to reflect his actions.

No one is entitled to an inheritance, he's already had the one off of his mother so anything else from the royals is their choice.

I know that for the females in the royal family there are rules about when you should wear tights. Rules about the colour of nail varnish you should wear. Like the military, there are rules about conduct, rules designed to reinforce the difference between ranks, rules of how you should address people … It’s a very unnatural environment and I don’t think you can live in it unless you’re fully committed to keeping to all the (daft) rules.

’They've been brought up to expect to be on show in such circumstances and god knows they get paid enough for it.’

There are plenty of very old families who have vast inherited wealth and don’t have to put up with the level of scrutiny that the royal family do.
