How does this make Brits feel about Prince Harry?

[kmo0416]

Does it melt the hearts of the British when they recall Prince Harry's 'Mummy' letter at Diana's funeral?
Does this make them think twice about treating him and Meghan without more sympathy?

I think you are confused .
The king’s trust had to be renamed as William refused to take it on

I have said William is worse than Charles .
Im acknowledging that Charles did some work . Perhaps equivalent to 6 months work of a normal full time job but a bloody workhorse in comparison to William who does almost nothing

My god !

Perhaps you are right @Ukisgaslit however from what I have observed William seems to have more empathy in his little finger than Harry, Meghan, Andrew and Sarah put together.

And how have you measured that ?

Harry's mummy letter has got nothing to do with what he does now.

He rightly got a lot of sympathy at the time.

Well the royal circular is public information, I can’t say I pay much attention to it but he certainly seems to do extremely good work semi-regularly. Turning up to events is only part of the story - we don’t and won’t see the background work they put in. Not to mention he and a fucked up childhood and is committed to being a present parent, which I respect him for. QE2 and Charles and Diana were shagging other people away an awful would lot I imagine he doesn’t want his children to feel how he felt.

Im not sure what you mean BTW by “flogging a dead horse” - I haven’t said he does lots of work, I just asked what you mean by improving life in the UK (still unsure what you mean TBH). I’ve also only made 1 post mentioning William.

But out of interest what would hard work of William look like to you? What would be a good representation from him, in your eyes?

I dunno working for air ambulance on actual shifts is work which Prince william did for several years. But i guess that doesn't fit into someone's trolling 🤔

I hadn’t realised it changed to the King’s Trust! I’m pleased - that Charles’s baby, he put an awful lot of work into it and it would be a shame if he lost it because of a name! Do you have a source to say William refused to take it on?

Yes he kept it on which is fair he put a lot of thought and work into it. I guess it will pass on eventually.

When I think about him at all, its to think he is bonkers to have given up his security, social standing, friends and family, to become a bog standard celebrity in a country full of bog standard celebrities.

And tbh I think it was very rude to rewrite the narrative to cast himself and Megan wholly as victims - yes, the press was brutal (as it is to every woman in public life if that suits the tabloid agenda ), but largely the British public was warm and welcoming to his wife, genuinely wished them well and had a great deal of affection for Harry ( largely based on sympathy for his childhood experience). It wasn't right to go on Oprah and do what they did.

Mostly I think they wasted a great opportunity to do really good work in the world - the RF wields a lot of power and they could have brought about meaningful improvements and they squandered it.

I see the Op hasn’t been back.

Don’t be ridiculous- Charles and Diana were divorced, he didn’t need to walk behind the coffin - no one did, they chose to. Perhaps it wasn’t the best thing for the boys to, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I actually feel for both Diana and Charles, they had an arranged marriage, neither would have married each other if they had come from ‘normal’ lives! Saying that, Harry did what he wanted, married completely outside of anything remotely close to understanding the life, and look what mess that got him into! Royalty is a job, MM wasn’t up to it, she just wanted all of the riches / to be loved / admired etc, but none of the actual work that gets these things - thank god they’ve both elbowed out!

Harry and Meghan use and abuse the press for their own PR, they hate it when the press report a story they’ve not tailored and fabricated themselves, yet make up so much bullshit to peddle from those rags that will entertain these clowns … until they get sick of them too!

Spare showed Harry as no different from the tabloid gossip columnists he apparently despises.

So suspicious of how many negative news stories and social media comments are out about him. It seems like a completely unnecessary hate campaign, I suspect entirely orchestrated by the royals (they benefit from the public not trusting or supporting people who leave their institution). He’s just a guy who wanted to leave and carve his own path, and should be left to it.

im happy if William works less and makes sure his children don’t end up damaged like Harry to be honest.

I know people whose parents died young, none of them are arseholes or made it their whole personality.

Strange thread ?
I've always had sympathy for him he lost his mum not only young but in the worst way imaginable .

He’s just a guy who wanted to leave and carve his own path, and should be left to it

And if only he'd done that without all the nastiness to his family in the relentless interviews and his book, things could have been so very different.

What does 'left to it' mean?

I think it's pretty hard to argue that the public aren't entitled to discuss Harry's court action relating to his security, for example, since the state funds all this and he's making use of courts paid for out of the collective purse. Especially when he gave an interview on the BBC after losing.

He didn’t want to be ‘left to it’; he wanted people to engage with him and his wife through interviews, shows, podcasts, books and jam. He has done publicity specifically to get people interested and engaging in discussion about him in order to get money from them.

The prime minister of the day wanted the children front and centre neither Charles nor Prince Philip agreed with this they stuck by the children to protect them and rightly so they were far to young to be thrown to the wolves like that and Diana's family were just as bad

I suspect they are two cheeks of the same arse but one has skin in the game, children who will benefit from the Monarchy continuing and a wife who knows how to toe the Royal line whereas the other one only has more and more irrelevance and obscurity ahead of him. He is a product of a system which does this to their own children,willingly. I remember when Diana was a breath of fresh air and an afectionate mum so her kids wouldn't be as damaged as the generation before but here we are. It doesn't look like there is any intention of changing anything for the Wales children.

An affectionate mum who hadn’t seen her son for a month over the school holidays before she died?

I’ve no idea what letter you are on about. However I’m just feeling up of an over privileged PRINCE of the U.K. moaning and moaning like his life is so bloody hard. In his multi million dollar house, with his millions in the bank.

He needs to stop being such a moaner. We get it his mum died so did his brothers funnily enough. He doesn’t bang on about it and use it as an excuse for everything.

This was in the film,The Queen there is no evidence the actual Tony Blair wanted the princes "front and centre"
