Yes the guy lost his mother in a tragic way at a young age. (So have many) Yes he was forced out into the public eye in the middle of grief (which was horrific at the time and worse on reflection) BUT he is now an adult man with a family and access to life of extreme privilege yet he cannot seem to realise that him publically complaining about his lot in life and telling the rest of us how to behave is distasteful. Also, the petulant way he seems to communicate with the media is just undelining his immaturity and lack of awareness. By which I mean, the potshots in statements and rapping with James Corden and his pathetic man of the people schtick. If you want to be Hazzer give up your title and STFU!

AIBU?

I also have absolutely no time for this petulant man since pictures resurfaced of him shooting water buffalo in Africa and posing with the poor dead animals.
The fact that this trophy Hunter now seeks to dispense moral guidance to the masses is beyond disgusting.
He also overrode an older polo pony and rode her to her death and injured another with spurs. Spurs!
And so many other episodes covered up by clever palace PR.
It’s revolting.

'I thought it was sweet'

Yes I thought it was sweet too. However perhaps the Queen doesn't want what she buys her grandkids for Xmas discussed on a chat show. Isn't she entitled to a bit of privacy? It's all so very one sided with Haz.

wewillmeetagain · 26/02/2021 19:22

@Sadsiblingatsea the polo pony was one of things i was told about, absolutely disgusted me.

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2021 19:22

@Roussette

Gosh!

All these posters with inside information and know people who work for them and Harry needs his arse wiped but William doesn't lol

Yes it's all true 'because my cousin's friend's window cleaner's wife's dog walker said so. Grin

He'll be whining to come back when she dumps him.
He will not fuck you dear

@Roussette

It's out there, I'm not wasting my friday evening googling it again. It's out there but only if you read more than The Sun and the DM
In other words you dont have any!

derxa I think she is really good at supporting them, don't doubt that at all

Roussette · 26/02/2021 19:25

Please yourself, it's out there.

Why would she give a shit? 🤣🤣🤣

This is the woman who’s seen her eldest son’s (and heir to her throne) deeply embarrassing sex chat with his mistress reported far and wide, I think she’ll cope with an infant’s Christmas present.

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2021 19:29

I wonder if sales of waffle makers will be on the up? I quite fancy one now. Grin

Snog · 26/02/2021 19:29

Lol at "living a life of service" - most people would swap lives with Haz I reckon, it's a life of immense privilege and doing whatever he likes and wanting to be admired as being moral and kind to boot.

Give your hoards of unearned money away to people who are suffering Haz or STFU.

GetOffYourHighHorse · 26/02/2021 19:30

'Why would she give a shit?'

Why wouldn't she? It's all about consent you see. The Queen surely liks H&M should be able to control what is shared publicly, Do keep up. It is another prime example of Harry not practising what he preaches.

TheKeatingFive · 26/02/2021 19:30

If anyone is under the illusion we should place any credibility on palace ‘sources’ they should read this. Yes I know I’m always posting it, but it’s absolutely shocking.

@ElspethFlashman there are just some tenacious defenders on this thread determined to answer every point however benign and have a dig at posters.

I enjoyed your post as that was similar to my own experience today!

Roussette · 26/02/2021 19:32

That article Keating... yes I've read it and yes it is shocking

I agree with that. All this nonsense about bump touching, tiaras and candles. The thread's about Harry. He's made the choice to leave for probably good reasons. However he can't have it all ways. He's chosen to be a celebrity/philanthropist and left behind the drudgery of royal life.
TheKeatingFive · 26/02/2021 19:33

Oh yes, let’s have another totally pointless stick to beat him with. Listen to yourself 😂

Kate once shared that George likes bananas on his breakfast cereal. I’m sure the Queen was LIVID that got out. Or did she personally approve the release of this crucial information.

thetell · 26/02/2021 19:33

@GreenlandTheMovie Did your friends tell you how they are managing Prince Andrew's car crash life at the moment? Or how they managed to turn around public opinion about Prince Phillip's racism and sexism? What about when Kate refused to give her right hand woman part time work after maternity leave despite liking to come across as 'a mum like the rest of us'- that ended up in a quiet financial settlement and a smooth PR job. What about William's affair?
Come on - every single one of us have needed a PR person in our life at some point, we are all human, we grow, we change - just most of us don't have to do it in the public eye.

Sparklingbrook · 26/02/2021 19:35

I wonder if Kate and William are all 'Well we didn't get a Waffle Maker' Grin

GetOffYourHighHorse · 26/02/2021 19:37

I'm listening to myself Confused

He cannot whine on about scrutiny and privacy etc then share private info about the Queen's present buying. Well he can and does but it makes him out to be a hypocrite and cackling with Corden about royals not carrying money also him out to be a prat. HTH.

TheKeatingFive · 26/02/2021 19:38

😂😂😂

And then they’d be like, ‘well, we did get Anmer Hall with the swimming pool, tennis courses, home gym, cinema, guess probably shouldn’t complain’

I bet she’s DEVASTATED.

I mean a waffle maker. Think of the diplomatic consequences.

This thread has cheers me right up.

I think you are taking what was effectively a slightly different slant on JC's Carpool Karaoke a bit too seriously there.

She will be penning him a strongly worded letter as we speak. 'Harry you must not disclose any more palace secrets'. Grin
ElspethFlashman · 26/02/2021 19:44

The thing is, he knows that the US media want these little tidbits about the RF.

He needs the US media more than it needs him, so he's gonna feed it a bit.
