I'm sure he's fine

cinnabongene · 16/12/2022 06:29

He’ll be reliving missing that penalty for the rest of his life but there is the Premier League to look forward too

Why the fuck does anyone give a fuck and post these fucking threads. Keep it to
The royal family pages you fucking loons.

@changingstages
Come I don’t beat around the bush tell us what you really think about the situation 😂

Morestrangethings · 16/12/2022 06:34

He told me to tell you he’s fine.

MattDillonsEyebrows · 16/12/2022 06:34

Has he still got the Chief Impact Officer job? No one seems to have mentioned that for ages. Does he ever turn up for work? That will surely help his mh seeing as the years of therapy don’t seem to have done.

I have little sympathy, and it’s not as a pp suggested due to the millions he has, but more because whilst he had a tragic thing happen to him, he’s had more therapy that most people can ever dream of and doesn’t seem to have put any of it into practice.

I highly doubt making a multi million pound reality tv show to inflate an already inflated ego and promote how wonderful and hard done by you think are, was a healing technique suggested by a therapist.

I think he has PTSD too. He is repeating his mother's rupture from the Royal family seeing them as the enemy and now wants to be King of peoples hearts.
He hasn't said this but that's what it looks like. Repeating patterns to try to make things better is a typical PTSD thing.
I have complex PTSD from childhood trauma and have had extensive therapy to get over it. You need peace, quiet and a good psychiatrist.
If you don't do those things you end up going on this type of quest which isn't healthy at all.

LeopardPrintHo · 16/12/2022 07:17

We don't seem to hear much of him these days? Maybe he's just after a quiet life with Ginny and the kids? He did go through a lot in his younger years, dementors, giant spiders, 3 headed dogs.
Wonders of Ron and Hermione are still together Hmm

I thought he sounded very OK.
He seems to be loving his family life and his home in California. He was asked if he misses his old life and he answered calmly and without rancour that yes he does in some respects …the large family get-togethers is an example he gave.
They have given their version of the truth and he seems happy with that.
They appear ready to move on to the next chapter …whatever that may be. After all, they have a living to make and I’m sure there will be an audience for it.
It would be nice if there was a happy ending whereby he is able be friends with his brother again. I guess that’s up to William. And it seemed to me that Harry completely understood and accepted his brother’s difficulty in that respect, given William is unable/unwilling to speak out and break out as he himself has done.
Yes, I was happy to see that Harry seems to be quite balanced and cheerful and still in love with his wife.

Poor, poor Harry Sad

We should set up a Go Fund me page for him

Didn't they say that after Oprah Winfrey?
He's still got his book to come out and his interview with Gayle King. A baby goat is being slaughtered so the has the right hand covering!

StoneofDestiny · 16/12/2022 07:47

We need to get rid of the Royal Family and let them carry on their family feuds in private.

That said, I didn't think anything H&M said any less believable than what his family say to the press for public consumption.

HettysTether · 16/12/2022 07:48

Having watched the last 3 episodes, my impression is that he's thriving, in a manner, under Meghan thumb. He's happy with his Cali mansion, lifestyle and wife who is wilful (but not strong). Good for him, not that he has earned any of this, it's all down to the fact that he is a member of the British royal family.

Harry has probably wanted to lead a more private lifestyle since for ever and Meghan has sold him the Netflix idea by convincing him that spilling royal gossip on his terms pays for the Cali mansion and lifestyle he seems to have embraced. He considers this his new home and I can't see him returning to the fold. Good for him, but a shame he is hurting his family to achieve his dreams. It's all rather hypocritical of them as it is Harry's royal currency that buys this privileged lifestyle most of us can only dream of while chasing life saving medicine for our children and making do in ice cold homes during a global recession.

H&M probably have a huge amount of royal gossip they could share in coming years via similar Netflix programmes, this one didn't really reveal anything shocking. It was just a public moan fest and a way of showing William that they have the power to embarrass him and will use it as and when they wish. This is Harry's life now, he is selling his royal heritage rather than using skill or talent to make a living.

Harry seems to hate his brother, which is uncomfortable to watch, he is a not too bright, spoilt plonker. Meghan is like a teenage girl complaining how mean so and so has been and how unfair such and such is, it's all rather American. She says 'her word' is peace (after truth) but doing Netflix programmes like this does not promote peace, it's the same divisive shit as the Daily Fail generates, drama and gossip sells.

They could have handled the media intrusion and racism in a much more effective and powerful way and haven't been able to use social media effectively as I don't think they understand the medium very well. Sadly they are not the only people on the internet to be at the receiving end of horrible comments, many people in the public eye or even ordinary school children get trolled and bullied online. The difference is that H&M have the resources and connections to help them deal with the fallout when the majority of people who are bullied online do not, but they make it sound as if they are the only people who have to deal with comments online, which is self-centred and entitled. The Sussexes could have used their power and influence to directly tackle racism, online bullying and bigotry using SM, and build up a really strong and positive legacy, which they have failed to do, instead, they just add their own digs to a negative discourse.

I wouldn’t suggest it people would probably pay ;

They’re cashing in on the royal brand, Hetty has it with mention of royal currency

I think he is in an abusive relationship but admitting he has made a mistake would be unthinkable.

I agree. If Meghan had been a man and H a woman, everyone would have said that isolating her from her family is classic abuser behaviour. He is going to be royally screwed if he splits with her later on- she'll start lying about him then.

Prescottdanni123 · 16/12/2022 08:06

He is in an abusive relationship. He has always been vulnerable. He and William were so close, he used to cling to William and Kate and you could see how protective William was of him. And like any loving brother, William probably tried to get him to see this. I also think it is why the royal family haven't cut him off completely, or destroyed him and Meghan in the public eye because I do not doubt they have the proof to do this.

blubberball · 16/12/2022 08:13

It reminds me a little bit of John Lennon. His mother died suddenly when he was young, and he later married Yoko. He saw his mother in her too. People are damaged and it's just sad.

The divorce will happen once she decides PH is no longer useful to her. He will not see it coming

TrashyPanda · 16/12/2022 09:15

He behaves like a spoilt, petulant child, who thinks the world owes him a living. Time to grow up and take personal responsibility for his family and himself.

Spot on. I dread to think how nasty that divorce will become too. Yikes.
