Prince Harry - AIBU?

[barniee]

Prince Harry saying "we can all do better" has really irked me- aibu?! He has every want and need satisfied while the majority of us and trying to do right by the environment whilst making ends meet. He is becoming very sanctimonious!

is anyone.

No one said A&E situation is okay. But it hasn't had the coverage that any Harry & Meghan stories have had. The Daily Mail report "as robustly as they dare". They could report much more. So nothing can realistically be done about Prince Andrew according to @CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook (I doubt that but he has lots of colluders helping him. Look at the "it couldn't be him in the photo as the fingers weren't chubby enough" defence (!!!!). That doesn't make it okay.

Best just to move on and give lots of coverage to Harry and Meghan taking some private flights, eh? It'll help deflect.

Carrying on the Prince Andrew theme, if it's okay to do what he has done as there is no chance of investigation so what's the point, then why go on about Harry and Meghan taking private flights. That's not going to change, so what's the point? Which is the worst alleged crime of those two particular issues?

Who in what universe is saying the A&E situation is ok?

It's not that anyone is saying its okay.

It's the fact that H&M do anything at all and threads immediately pop up on here criticizing them. There has been at least one thread on Andrew on here and one that was more generally about the family, but nothing like the strength of response against him.

Also, I've read many posts on here saying that H&M's actions have turned them against monarchy as an institution. Not Andrew's, H&M's.

I find that shocking.

Because Charles has spent years and years practicing what he preaches when it comes to organic farming, biodiversity and responsible property development, even at a time when it wasn’t as fashionable as it is now.

Please note the use of the word “fashionable”. The Prince of Wales is not one for hopping easily onto a passing bandwagon...

...you don’t hear him lecture the taxpayer about our travel choices, and he doesn’t seem to be a fan of nipping off to Ibiza on private jets.

Quite. I am struggling to imagine him in Ibiza at all - even if the delights of Elton John’s villa, or whatever, were to be put at his disposal. Charles doesn’t do glitz. Lol

I think the deflection theory that is being bandied about by some posters is naive.

It's proving very effective at deflecting us from "what Meghan wants, Meghan gets!" Though!

Didn’t Charles and Camilla holiday with the Rothchilds at one time? Bet that was pretty glitzy!

I think the papers have covered the Andrew story as strongly as they can with what they're allowed to print. The DM have printed the same damn picture of Andrew with his arm around that young girl's arm umpteen times. A proper investigation by the authorities is long overdue. The H and M private jet thing got the attention it deserved and the media have moved on now whereas I saw a piece about Andrew at the beginning of the week.

I think everyone has always known that Andrew is a sleazeball. The public opinion on him has always been zilch. Therefore it’s not really a shock is it? It’s appalling and disgusting but in no way a surprise.
I suppose we all hoped that Harry would be happy and marry someone we could relate to. Harry has always had a lot of goodwill. So has William. So that’s why there’s more fuss about the way things seem to be going with H and M. It’s a feeling of disillusionment. Lovely , sentimental wedding ending up feeling like a bit of a burst balloon.

Not entirely sure what you mean by glitz, but Charles does luxury in spades.

What a bizarre comment.

Surely Harry is best placed to decide who makes him happy?

What kind of person would be more 'relatable'? European royalty? An English aristo?

Time and date, if you please.

But there is glitzy and there is Elton John’s idea of GLITZY...

Glitzy is tacky.

This sort of thing:

There is no way that Andrew's actions should be compared to M & H's virtue signalling. One is potentially criminal and the other is highly irritating.
My problem is that I don't want to hear lectures from people who are young enough to be my children and are not experts in the subject they're lecturing about.

This sort of thing

I'd say that's par for the course for the royals. Perhaps a little more gold leaf than usual.

I was disappointed not to see a gold piano though

If you look hard enough...

“My problem is that I don't want to hear lectures from people who are young enough to be my children and are not experts in the subject they're lecturing about.”

Where did you hear said lectures?

Couldn’t agree more @derxa

Check this. HM has. a. gold. piano.😳
I am disappointed.

Be more specific.

It's not an either or. The media aren't going 'well we can't go after A so we'll go after H&M instead'. They know they can only go so far with stories on A but they can sell loads of papers about H&M who obligingly provide them with loads of coverage.

An investigation into PA is potentially not just an investigation into PA, in the same way that an investigation into Saville when alive would not just have been an investigation into Saville. Or do you really believe that incompetence is the reason he wasn't arrested and prosecuted when alive? and incompetence is why the sex inquiry became a mess and incompetence is why E ended up dead in his cell?

Instead of thinking it's an outrage that media are not reporting on it more, you ought to think why are they not reporting on it more?

A fucking gold piano.
