When will he stop criticising the UK (fair enough you left us (thanks!), but stop with the 'oh the USA is great and UK is crap etc...' It's annoying)

And .... Remember Harry - we are NOT ALL LOADED!!! Where are we supposed to get the money for all this therapy you think we should have? The NHS is at breaking point (have you noticed? What r you doing to help?) And we can't all afford private therapy Harry ... especially not 4 years worth!! 'my therapist spoke to your therapist..' is not a reality for most of us struggling to afford heating.

Out of touch much? Yes

I agree of course OP. He has become a bellend when he used to be quite fun. I hope he comes home eventually and snaps out of the whining etc.

I am a royalist through and through and love our monarchy BUT, he turned his back on the UK and wants to be 'Just Harry' so why does he keep using titles that are no longer his and why is SHE introducing him as 'my husband, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex' when all they do is criticise the monarchy...hypocrisy at the highest level! Soz rant over!

Because they're self-absorbed fuckwits, is the short answer. Lots to love about the monarchy, keep waving that flag!!

I think what’s clear is Harry was very well protected by rhe palace media machine, none of us knew the reality of who he was, we all thought he was one of us, the little boy who lost his mother, and grew up to join the army, get drunk, be unlucky in love. The cheeky chappie with a heart of gold.

nothing could be further from the truth.

@Orchidsonthetable I think he (at least partly) was that person, but because of a certain person he became the man he currently is. It's distinctly American- influenced and also influenced by someone who doesn't know how to get on with family, and is narcissistic.

I hope it's temporary and eventually he'll repent.

The queen made great efforts to find a way that Margaret could marry Townsend without giving up too many of her royal privileges. Recently released letters show that it was in fact Margaret who chose to end the relationship with Townsend.

Imagine the post on MN:
I'm 22 years old. I've fallen in love with a divorced man who is fifteen years older than me, who already has two children, the older one is twelve. We want to get married, but my family isn't very happy about it...

Exactly nobody on MN would be encouraging her to ignore her family and just go ahead and get married. Most would be telling her to run for the hills.

Poor guy in his £11 million mansion surrounded by staff. What an insult to REAL working parents. The man's an idiot

Grrrrr Prince Harry ...

You must be below a certain income. It varies state to state which is one of the few flaws in the program. All services must be covered as well as all medicines. Some states waive the income for children with specific conditions including things like Down Syndrome and ASD. Basically Medicaid will pay for whatever the families private insurance does't.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for all-as someone I know found when she fell and broke her ankle. She couldn't afford to pay (even the little treatment she got wiped her savings out) and didn't qualify for Medicaid so the doctor put a bandage on it (yes, an ordinary bandage, just wrapped a few times round) and told her not to walk on it for at least 6 weeks or she'd be permanently disabled.
Great care.

Yorksirenotsorose · 27/04/2022 19:01

Harry was never a cheeky chap the narrative always pushed through the media. He has always been an arrogant obnoxious little brat, you only have to see his drinking and drugged out antics, with a violent and obnoxious streak. The royal firm covered up for him all his life, even on his a trip they all reported his constant lewd jokes turned the air blue like even soldiers had not seen. Charles went though numerous minders to try to keep him out of the news. It's just now he has no one to hold him back. Arrogant horrible little man.

Add in the fact that her family was extremely rich, famous and prestigious, and that any children they might have would be nieces and nephews of the queen, then yes, red flags all round.

MrsCranky · 27/04/2022 19:13

He got quite lucky with Meghan. She is confident and determined. At least Harry won't end up being the embarrassing racist uncle at the family party, which is the way he was going before Meghan.

Haha I thought you were serious when I first read that. Then I remembered the p* insults and the nazi uniform.

But maybe embarrassing in many other ways?

StoneofDestiny · 27/04/2022 17:20

in reality he is a highly entitled, arrogant, self absorbed man who has below average intelligence levels. As in he’s really a bit thick

sounds just like Philip, Charles, Andrew and Edward

i think that’s fair to varying degrees.

we all know neither Charles Edward or Andrew are particularly smart, far from it, but they have the palace staff to protect their image. They hire very clever people to manage that public perception. To create an image of who they are. We see only what these clever people they hire wish us to see.

all that’s happened is Harry has removed the cloak of invisibility these clever pr people used…and we see now what lies beneath.

He is representative of them all, of what and who they are. Entitled, lazy, arrogant, with low levels of intelligence, due to generations of inbreeding, generational entitlement and familial inherited wealth.

you take the clever pr people away. And you see the truth of what the royals are. And that’s what Harry has done. And sadly he lacks the intelligence to know it. He doesn’t understand what he is. He doesn’t comprehend his own limitations. Because he’s entitled, arrogant, inbred. Thick.

So now he’s shown the world and he doesn’t understand why we all see what we see and he doesn’t understand that’s who he is and by showing the world it, he’s doing untold damage to all of them. Because to varying degrees. That’s who they all are.

So disappointing that he turned into a massive tosser. I wish they would both just go and live their lives privately as they supposedly wanted to.

It’s endless cringe whenever he opens his mouth and endless woke, and rather dim, drivel emerges.

I don’t think he’s “turned” into a massive tosser. I think him and all the Royal Family are massively spoilt tossers completely out of touch with the rest of us. I expect most of the super-rich are. I don’t think Harry is any worse than William or Charles (or Andrew!) in that regard - moany, self-pitying, coddled little snowflakes the lot of them. They can’t count their blessings because they think the circumstances of their birth mean they deserve them. You see this with Andrew especially with his interview - he honestly feels hard done by. Plenty of tales told about Charles and William’s tantrums which make it clear they are similarly self-pitying and entitled.

The main problem with Harry is that he is under the impression than we care what he thinks. At least William and Charles mostly shut the fuck up about their many “hardships”.

Changechangychange · 27/04/2022 19:31

What @Orchidsonthetable just said, basically.

ArtVandalay · 27/04/2022 19:41

I think Harry might be the only one of them with a modicum of intelligence.

Because he had the sense to get the hell out.

He’s torn apart for everything he says by people in the UK. He’s only trying to normalise therapy and highlight the differences in attitude between the UK and the US. Mental health issues here are still looked upon as a weakness.

I think he speaks a lot of sense & uses his platform for good.

CareBearsCare · 27/04/2022 19:49

PH is paid to flog a US based MH service (Better Up) so will continue to drop comments about their $$$$ service to justify his wage.

whatsthestory123 · 27/04/2022 19:50

i think once the queen passes the gloves will be og and harry will be kicked to the burb

he has been a total embarrasment

Staffy1 · 27/04/2022 19:53

I don’t know if it can all be blamed on the lack of PR people. They’re not that good, everyone has always thought Andrew was a spoilt arse. They also can’t control how the royals act all the time. Prince Charles and William at least manage to be charming and show an interest in people on their public engagements. Harry couldn’t even do that in the last few years. He’s become a glowering, miserable, rude grump.

GetThatHelmetOn · 27/04/2022 19:56

I just think that the problem with Harry is that he has simply not realised that no longer being in the direct line to the throne that he would need to start taking a back seat to the William and the others.

For the ose who were around back then, did Princess Anne have the same problem with Prince Charles? Like Princess Margaret and Princess Elizabeth?

desiringonlychild2022 · 27/04/2022 19:57

I am not usually interested in the royals but i somehow feel offended by this.

Doesn't the fact that everyone and their dog uses therapy in california show that people are pretty damn unhappy in california ? What is there to boast about?

Spot on.

The whole lot of them are served by an army of eye wateringly expensive spin doctors and have been for decades.

Before now Harry's never had to worry about his image or public persona and was content to wallow in the cheeky chappy people's prince hogwash mis-sold to the public.

It's satisfying to see him shining a spotlight on how the institution tries to manipulate its image even if he's too thick and self absorbed to recognise that's what he's doing.

TheFairyCaravan · 27/04/2022 20:02

It’s funny because when William comes out in telly programs, and articles, with loads of mega rich footballers talking about how men should be more open about their mental health, absolutely no one bats an eyelid.

Poor old Kate was exhausted having to homeschool and look after Louis during lockdown and people on here defended that to the hilt. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

None of the RF, not Harry, William, Charles or the Queen can criticise the NHS openly because it’s political and they’re supposed to be neutral. Jeez, could you imagine the amount of shit that hit the fan if Harry dared say anything about mental health provision in the U.K. being abysmal, which it is?

I hope he continues to speak out about his mental health and how mental health doesn’t discriminate. All too often we hear “man up”, “get a grip” “stop being a snowflake” and it’s damaging.

LollyLol · 27/04/2022 20:04

I used to like him. Can't stand him now. Self absorbed and puffed up with his own importance .

CathyorClaire · 27/04/2022 20:06

He's hung on to the money spinning titles like grim death though.
