Why are the British people saying horrible things about Prince Harry?

Isn’t it true that he is basically their adopted son after his mother’s death so they have to forgive his behaviour and excuse him?

Wolfiefan · 31/08/2025 14:47

Eh?

Huh?

But also, he’s said pretty horrible things about them.

Talltreesbythelake · 31/08/2025 14:49

What a strange way to think. Are there any other 40 year old men you want to adopt?

Readyforslippers · 31/08/2025 14:49

No one I know is talking about him at all.

childofthe607080s · 31/08/2025 14:50

I didn’t adopt anyone

I don’t have to forgive bad behaviour because of past trauma

isn’t their a royal family topic ?

Absolutely bonkers.

Well I am one of "the British people" and he isn't my adopted son, thank you very much. He is a spoilt, over privileged, obnoxious bore, who sadly lost a parent when he was a young boy. But he s still a spoilt, over privileged, obnoxious bore all the same.

MyAutumnalCrow · 31/08/2025 14:55

He’s a knob, that’s why.

Bambamhoohoo · 31/08/2025 14:55

How very bot- like

Probably time to put the sherry away, dear...

TeenToTwenties · 31/08/2025 14:58

OP. Is this displacement from A level results?

People are fed up with Harry because he said he wanted privacy, went off to USA and then courted publicity.

ARichtGoodDram · 31/08/2025 14:58

Even the most rabid of Diana fans expect her adult son to act like an adult

No, it's not true. HTH.

There really should be much more critical focus on the actions of Prince Andrew.

Harry is not the brightest and very hypocritical. There are some things Meghan does that are not great. But there was also some hideous racism directed at her, particularly from the Daily Fail.

There are literally dozens of threads about these things, if not hundreds, on MN.

In general, in the UK and US at the legal and political level. There is a lot of discussion around Epstein relations, but not much action. The Prince Andrew situation was so murky: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60667111

For the love of God can meghan s mumsnet team take a day off?
Ps will be interesting to see if this post also gets deleted as per my others.

Easipeelerie · 03/09/2025 18:07

I’m fine with Harry and Meghan. They’re not criminals and they don’t engage in nefarious activities. I cannot fathom why people feel so disproportionately irritated by them.

What on Earth has made you come up with that fucking ludicrous (and, quite frankly, borderline deranged) idea?

CeciliaDuckiePond · 03/09/2025 18:15

I'm no spring chicken but still a bit on the young side to have a 40 year old son, even adopted 😆

Lighteningstrikes · 03/09/2025 18:28

Probably because he’s a complete knob and a very spoilt brat, who threw his entire family under the bus for $ millions.

He’s an embarrassment.
