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 doesn't seem happy in the US but he seems less unhappy compared to his life in the UK. I'd imagine that he is desperate to leave the Uk and see his kids.

Oh yes, they so hate press attention.

Not as much as they would hate no press attention! He really is his mother's son in that respect.

This. But then the RF / H&M lunatics on MN think they know the intimate details of the family relations. It’s really fucking pathetic.

Apologies, my previous post was in response to this remark

Leaving the Army was his biggest mistake, he could have taken a desk job in London and kept his role as semi-attached to the royal circus. He's never seemed happier than when he was in the Army.

Harry has previously said he hated walking behind Diana's coffin at her funeral. I'd guess he was under pressure to walk behind the Queen's coffin and it brought back difficult memories. And people commenting on his (lack of) military uniform was probably painful too. And his grandmother had just died. I'm not surprised he looked unhappy

Do you also have a deep hatred for his family (who: are proud colonizers, sex traffickers, stole wealth from many nations and never bothered with trying to make it right) or is it just him (who didn't do anything apart from deciding to protect his wife and children)?

Says a lot about you.

Same, the British media and a lot of the public, including on Mumsnet, are absolutely vile. So is the royal family.

The queen paid for Prince Andrew's legal fees. Say what you want, I think they're all garbage and distancing himself shows that he might actually be a good person unlike most of them.

I think he looks unhappy because his gran has just died.

Other than that, who knows?

Anything is just speculation. Nobody really knows other than those involved.

He was not entitled to wear a uniform . You need to do some research .

Regardless of how he feels, it would be very difficult for him to end the marriage. Meghan would want to stay in the US with the children, and apart from them, what does he have over there? If he were to return to England, he would barely ever see his children.

He detests the media in this country and admits to reading stories about himself. Presumably he does the same for Meghan. Given that their every move has been analysed and Meghan treated like shit, I doubt he has any regret.

I think unwittingly he is desperately trying to heal his Mothers wounds and MM is codependent in this.
Wife who was suicidal during pregnancy, misunderstood and rejected by the RF, victim role,denied security, happiness based around DC being brought up differently, stories about the RF being sold.
Ive never really commented on this or had much interest in them but it struck me the other day that this whats being played out.
He looks utterly miserable.
I hate to say it but look at the ending .
I think this will end in divorce or death.

I do not think HE has regrets, no.

Regardless of how he feels, it would be very difficult for him to end the marriage. Meghan would want to stay in the US with the children, and apart from them, what does he have over there? If he were to return to England, he would barely ever see his children.

I think that it will play out very much as the Duke of Windsor and Wallis. Not an original observation, I admit, and I don't mean the 2 situations are exactly alike, but there are a lot of parallels.

Not saying Meghan is Wallis. But she was never going to submit to the constraints of being in the RF. Harry seems dim in the way the D of Windsor was - not least because he failed to put her in the picture as to what marrying him would mean.

The parallel, I think, is that Harry will miss his role and find it difficult to carve a place for himself outside the UK. What are his skills? He has turned his back on the job he was 'trained' to do. I guess he thought 'security' came free of charge and is now finding just how incredibly expensive that is.

Also, there is a danger they will become inward-looking, like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor did, and get bored with each other. I suspect Meghan will tire of Harry first, though. Once out of the RF, he's a bit lost.

I don't wish this on them, before anyone jumps on me. I hope they will be happy and find a rapprochement with all their relations, Meghan's included. But to do that they need to quit the telling tales out of school and washing dirty linen in public.

I think the chances of something happening to Meghan are high. If she reads even a small percentage of the things written about her I imagine she feels pretty destroyed.

The press are gunning for her and we know how that can end.

I wouldn't imagine he is? He is a multimillionaire living in a mansion in sunny california. I presume he isn't recognised very much over there so can do what he wants without any attention. Sounds like a good life to me!

His auntie faced an attempted kidnap at gunpoint.

But she hasn't spent the rest of her life whining about it nor that her then husband just sat there, she took the view nil carborundum illegitimi.

Who on earth are you to say Harry isn’t welcome in the Uk? His father is the king! Of course he is welcome.

Another thinly veiled attack Meghan thread.

Prince Andrew didn't ride about in a helicopter for a while -

Andrew served in the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot and instructor and as the captain of a warship. During the Falklands War, he flew on multiple missions including anti-surface warfare, casualty evacuation, and Exocet missile decoy.

Well it’s normal that he’s looked unhappy for the reasons he was here but other times I’ve seen him he’s looked pretty miserable.

I feel a bit sorry for him. If he dumps her he’ll presumably need to come back here but will be away from his kids.

The man's just lost his grandmother and that's almost certainly why he looks miserable. Can't blame him for getting out of the goldfish bowl though when his wife has been treated like crap, yet why do people assume things about his marriage his wife his children etc.
I think some folks are pretty low in their assumptions about a man they've never met.

I don’t think he will want to come back. He has made his life in the US with his wife and children. I do wish though he could build bridges with his father and brother and not constantly badmouth them publicly. It’s sad they have become so estranged. I hope he may not think his income relies on offering up more inside stories on the royal family. If he does then he will probably continue airing his grievances.

I think the helicooter reference is to Prince William
