AIBU to think that Prince Harry is coming across as the most tone deaf and hypocritical member of the RF right now?

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?

Guys!!! Look at yourselves, honestly!!!

It's Saturday, it's a beautiful sunny afternoon and you're all sat here moaning about whether Brighton is London. Next you'll be arguing about whether up is down, in is out, will is kate or Archie is a waffle. Don't you all have anything more positive or worthwhile to be doing!?

I came back here to see if anyone had responded to my list about the charity work that Harry and Meghan have done. No-one's bothered so I'm off outside again with a cup of tea to avoid thinking about two perfectly happy people living their lives in some disputed part of the LA municipal area. You all should too!!!

I've been at work since 6am. I'm having a much needed sit down and a cuppa. Missed the sunshine sadly. Sad
Lookingforwardto2021 · 27/02/2021 16:42

I’m having a cuppa too. After some (desultory) gardening and planting five agapanthus

I raise my cup to all of you, where ever you stand or sit on this 😃

@AngelicaElizaAndPeggy glad you've had a nice afternoon in the sun. I have too Smile Brew

Now, about the list. That first one has been promised - the donation to the anti-bullying charity - but hasn't actually happened yet as Meghan's settlement hasn't been agreed yet in that case. The hearing for it is this coming week, I believe. Let's hope there is actually a settlement to donate, since Harry ended up out of pocket on his recent court case, even though he won, because his own legal costs were so high that the judge refused to accept them.

Couldn't agree more on the ridiculous geography discussion - can I point out though that it was @JingsMahBucket who started accusing people of deliberately perpetuating a lie that they lived in LA when they didn't! I imagine most people, me included, don't know their Californian geography all that well. It's not a go at H&M.

MuddleMoo · 27/02/2021 16:57

730 posts (only a few of them about Nick Knowles and Gordon Ramsey)

This is why Harry is in the press and why people want to interview him Stop talking about him and then he will stop being in the press so much.

The James Cordon interview was very good for H&M. There's all sorts of positive stories being written about Harry after it, eg 'The internet just remembered that Prince Harry is kinda hot':

Couldn't get through that. Is he supposed to be a comedian. Confused

There's impersonaters and there's impersonaters and that ain't one!

Laughing at the Harry is hot tweets.... I have to say I didnt realise quite how tall he was in the bus thing, but JC is a short arse so maybe it just looked that way.

I'm on half time Rugby Wales v England... very contentious match!

The Harry is hot tweets are great, I bet some of the 'haters' think the same but wouldn't be allowed to actually say it. Grin

We seem to be watching the Rugby too. I am pondering an alcoholic beverage.

Roussette · 27/02/2021 17:54

I'm a glass and a half in already! It is Saturday after all, and I'm cross with the tries!

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 27/02/2021 17:55

Why is that, @grassisjeweled?

What has being entitled got to do with mental health?

"If Archie is a waffle"

You win the internet today Grin

It really is ridiculous

HmmmmmmInteresting · 27/02/2021 18:03

I didn't get that 'comedian' or or whatever he's supposed to be. Didn't look or sound like Harry and nothing he said was funny. Confused

Shows how low the H&M haters will go if they latch on to someone like this. Embarrassed for him and them.Blush

This is one of the biggest problems around mental health. So many ignorant people think that people who are privileged, rich, have happy families, good relationships or secure jobs can’t suffer from mental health problems. They can and they do. So the more Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince William, Kate etc talk about it the better for everybody else.
GetOffYourHighHorse · 27/02/2021 18:08

'The guy impersonating Harry is embarrassing'

Its not impersonating per se, more just piss taking really. I unsurprisingly thought it was quite funny. James Corden, I mean really.

'Guys!!! Look at yourselves, honestly!!!'

Always a bit Hmm when folk appear to tell people off for discussing irrelevant crap. It's Mumsnet not Newsnight.

SnottyLottie · 27/02/2021 18:17

Harry is very handsome. I used to think William was rather attractive but now he’s just morphed into Prince Edward...

PurpleCrocuses · 27/02/2021 18:19

Agreed, I did think it was a bit tone deaf how William has decided to make mental health one of his two pet causes, along with climate change.

SnottyLottie · 27/02/2021 18:20

Anyone, whether they are entitled or as poor as a church mouse, can suffer from poor mental health. This is the type of stigma and perception we need to eradicate (and I think William, Kate, Harry & Meghan have done very well to highlight over the years).
