Harry has a right to be bitter. As I've said and will continue to say, his mother died when he was a young child and he was brought up in a goldfish bowl having to watch the father who complained he had ginger hair and was a boy when he was born, marry the hag from hell who ruined his mother's life. The majority of people would be bitter.

hag from hell? Charles and Diana had an arranged marriage set up by the institution. Neither of them wanted to do it. Diana told her sister she wanted to back out the night before, who told D she couldn’t because “your face is on the tea towels”
Diana had numerous affairs.
She wasn’t an innocent victim.

I disagree but I did not start talking about Harry on this thread. And yes Camilla is a hag from hell.

which of the facts in my post did you disagree with? That it was an arranged marriage? That Diana had multiple affairs? These are facts on public record.

Diana had affairs AFTER she realised that Camilla was in the background for the entire time. She even manipulated a 19 year old Diana into friendship. She is hateful. I can't blame Diana for seeking affection elsewhere. Camilla was there throughout her relationship, engagement and then some. It was not an arranged marriage - that was never made public. Diana loved Charles.

Now I'm off to the RF thread before I get shouted at again. Hopefully those who brought Harry into the Brooklyn thread can do the same.

LOL at both VB and DB doing ‘Happy birthday’ stories this morning. Yawn, so predictable.

Wow, the parts about emotional control and anxiety completely fit what Brooklyn describes, uncanny.

I’m no royalist but Diana was a lamb to the slaughter there. She wanted to back out as she found out he was still with Camilla. Imagine doing that to someone. The wilful damage.

Isn't it? I recognise it from living with a narcissist mother and an enabler father. There's a programme

Couldn't agree more.

Charles and Diana may well have been an arranged marriage but they seemed to forget to tell the 19 year old bride.

An orange faced lunatic is trying to start WW3…. Meanwhile the whole country is gripped by the family drama of a footballer and Traitors. 🤯🙈

Go and watch the news then instead of wasting time posting on here. Simples.

Wow, so sorry. Who do you think may be the narcissist in Brooklyn's family? Is it VB or DB or both? Would two narcissists even get in a relationship with each other?

His statement does focus on VB, so maybe it is her, on the other hand I imagine you have to be a bit of a narcissist (in terms of self-belief) to make it as a professional footballer, so maybe it is him.

I said the same upthread somewhere - same with Brooklyn's wife, apparently "it's her pulling the strings" 🙄

It's not. It's a complicated situation involving lots of people, some of whom are women and some men. And they all have motivations and behaviours, and people are commenting on their motivations snd behaviours. You dont have to get the scales out and measure how many grammes of behaviour a man did or how many ounces of motivation a woman had. It's just people in a giant mess.

Recognise so much of that in my own upbringing and in BB's instagram post yesterday. When you recognise the pattern, it's impossible to ignore.

TheLadyWithoutTheLamp · 21/01/2026 13:10

And imo THIS is the correct way for any parent to respond when a child critiques them and their parenting

Unfortunately, some/many parents can't do this. Maybe they are narcs or maybe.....I don't know, they just can't admit failure or responsibility

Absolutely. It makes me cry. I'm so so sorry you went through it too ❤️

He treated his beloved Grandpa and Granma appallingly. They were endlessly kind to him

No one knows whether or not they were endlessly kind to him. For a start they dragged him and William down to London to look at flowers and talk to hysterical weirdos just after their mother had died, to protect them from abuse. They are not a normal family. Of course he never says anything against the one with their mitts on the purse strings. Hes dumb but not tat dumb!

I wonder if VB has got so caught up in Brand Beckham, and keeping her cheating husband that she has lost sight of everything. I cant imagine if my son was standing right next to me that I wouldn't even look at him. Its very odd behaviour!
