To think Prince Harry should now do whatever it takes to cancel his book contract?

[FromageRouge]

And withdraw his book?

A rapprochement looks possible if he meets the RF halfway.

Harry has wanted to leave the RF for years and has expressed disatisfaction for years, long before he ever met Meghan, then when he did reach a stage of wanting to get married, have children, etc it motivated him to get the fuck out.

Good for him, more people should opt out of toxic situations that are damaging their health and the world would probably be a happier place for it.

Nope give them an inch they take a mile. They want to merch the RF without doing any of the boring stuff. Absolutely no HRH titles for the children they don't live in the UK nor even a commonwealth country. There's no royalty in the US. They are petty and spiteful they will still find something to complain about let him release the book. There's not much more after that he could sell. MM was in the RF for 2 years . They have been frozen out and won't be privvy to new information they are no where near as popular as Diana.

Once he sells the book the interest in them will massively die down they are one trick ponies with very little talent.

Yawn

@LooneyToon wow! I think he comes across as very sincere, and I can completely believe the situation was so bad for her at that stage that felt suicidal.

I mean is it just the case that anyone who has serious suicidal thoughts and tells the person they love about it is being manipulative? If she never told him, would that have been better? It sounds like they tried their best to make it work, she couldn’t cope with the media hatred and feeling like a fish out of water and he didn’t get much support from his family. Which is a pretty common thing to happen in families- but that family in particular is pretty famous for having little patience for people struggling with bad mental health. Diana said the same thing happened to her over bulimia.

People are so uninterested that every thread about them on here runs into sequels 🤣

They are by far the most interesting Royals, love them or hate them!

"but that family in particular is pretty famous for having little patience for people struggling with bad mental health. Diana said the same thing happened to her over bulimia."

This. It's not like there is not already a long history of the Royal Family neglecting the mental health and not protecting the women who marry into it.

If it is so boring to you, why do you participate in the conversation?

If Harry posted on here he would be directed to the Stately Homes thread in about two seconds.

the RF is massively dysfunctional and toxic as a family unit - including the queen.

i can’t see how that has suddenly changed….

Regarding the claims made by the couple on the Oprah show, it was said Prince Charles wanted to issue a point by point rebuttal but the Queen said no. It will be interesting to see (dependent on what's actually in the book) whether he would do this now the Queen is no longer the monarch.

His mother who also wrote a tell-all book dishing the dirt on her marriage? The one who almost brought the monarchy down in the 90s?

Funny you should say that, I remember saying way way back that I wouldn't be surprised if that was PH aim, he has a lot of anger which seems to be directed at his father. I expect the reasons for his anger will be in the book but they will be his version so it's quite possible Charles will indeed feel he has to issue a rebuttal.

It could get messy for all concerned if PH is insistent on playing all his issues out so publicly and it's certainly not something a therapist would recommend doing. The media will think all their Christmases have come at once.

What grievances do they left to air after the book comes out? They left the RF 2 years ago and have been frozen out. They aren't privy to private information anymore unless they bullshit. They are going to run out of things to complain about and stories to sell.

who can blame him for wanting to leave to protect his wife and family. He knows better than anyone the misery our press creates for some

most have leaked stories to the press or staff have this has always been known they live in a goldfish bowl Its needed to keep the public support

at least there is more transparency around this book good luck to him. The family are probably in far more contact with each other than certain areas of the press would like us to believe families fall out at times just the fall outs will always be public for the most senior of royals

He's got every right to publish this book and I don't see why he shouldn't just because his grandmother has passed away.

I totally see his perspective and have listened to a few of his interviews, which then get twisted.

He can't win whatever he does with a lot of the British public, so he might as well do as he wants.

Really? She was given more privileges than any other royal fiancée ever has been before! She was walked down the Aisle by the future king!! If that's not acceptance I don't know what is!!!

I'm presuming there is a bigger strategy involved than we know ?, Let's be honest the elites, usually have various strategies and plans etc

It could get messy for all concerned if PH is insistent on playing all his issues out so publicly and it's certainly not something a therapist would recommend doing. The media will think all their Christmases have come at once.

That’s exactly it.

I’d have huge admiration for him if he actually fully left the RF, removed himself from the line of succession, rejected titles for him and his children, lived his life.
He’s never ever going to do that though. He will continue complaining about the RF whilst hanging onto the coattails.
I can’t imagine what new complains he has in his book though. We all know it’s shit and we wouldn’t want to be a member of that family, but he is perpetuating it by keeping his children linked to it. If his children take Prince/princess titles then they are just full of shit.

Just because he has a right to do it, doesn’t make it a good idea.

I want suggesting the Queen’s death was particularly relevant to the decision, per se. More that there seems to have been a slight truce during the mourning period that could now be capitalised on.

If his children take Prince/princess titles then they are just full of shit.

I am confused about that. At one point they seemed to be saying they didn’t want their children to have titles. Did I imagine that part?

I think they did. Whether they will or not is another thing. This would be the prime time for him to stop being Prince also, I doubt that’s going to happen though.

They are going to run out of things to complain about and stories to sell.

I agree with @Meili04 , what else will they have to complain about once the book comes out, they won't have any new material on the RF living thousands of miles away in California. Perhaps it might prove cathartic and they can move on to meaningful projects and really make a life for themselves in the US.

I hope so, the speculation on the rift is getting tedious now.

No? He can speak out if he likes. I know we're all meant to stay muzzled and not say what we really think (evidenced by the arrested hecklers) but he's written a book and clearly intends to.

He is paying respects to his grandmother, that's all.

👏👏👏

Absolutely spot on

They’ve been out for two years. After the book they’ll have nothing else to say we haven’t already heard, and hopefully will fade away….
