The people predicting divorce sound completely mad. 1 in 2 or 3 marriages or whatever the current figures are, end in divorce, so you’re hardly making any sort great prediction if you end up being right. 😂

Lets hope they remain together happily though. They certainly seem happy and in love and some people seem very annoyed at that.

EndlessRain1 · 16/12/2022 09:27

Harry is an adult with access to more funds and privilege than most of us can imagine. I struggle to feel massively sorry for him, but I do think he had a bad childhood and likely struggles with depression to some extent. I certainly don't think anyone should blame Megan for his position.

Its not the fact of a divorce happening that is likely, its the narrative that will be spun about it afterwards.

Watch this space.

He seems so isolated and it’s all sort of her life…family, friends etc

If a man had made a woman isolate away from his family in the way she has it would be considered abuse.

I don’t think either of them are okay after what they’ve been subjected to but hopefully they will be in time.

I don’t think any intelligent person had to watch the documentary to understand what was happening to them.

We basically live in a racist, sexist country where each day the tabloids print absolute rubbish. The papers are full of lies and fear….just look at what happened during the pandemic and how panic buying was triggered at the supermarkets and petrol pumps.

Some women in this country do seem to love to tear other women down. We also like aspiration but as long as you don’t try to aspire to anything higher than your preordained station.

For anyone that says we’re not racist it’s just ignorance. As a middle class white woman I didn’t think we were a racist society anymore, I thought that was just the older generation. When I dated a guy who wasn’t white in my 20s oh how my eyes were opened!

Probably no more or less ok than the gimps on here who make statements like they secretly live in the walls of BP and have intimate access to them all.

🤣🤣🤣

And wheeling a traumatised 12 year old boy out to walk behind the coffin of his dead mother in front of millions of people is supportive behaviour? As is a ‘protocol’ that deems it unacceptable to hold hands with your wife at the funeral of your beloved Grandmother?

Harry is a grown man who makes his own choices. I don’t necessarily agree with everything he’s done but I’m unsure why Meghan is held responsible for everything. This whole narrative reminds me of those mil who assume its’s the dil’s fault when their ds forgets their birthday. She didn’t raise him, perhaps best to look a bit closer to home before apportioning blame.

FromParisToParis · 16/12/2022 11:03

It seems some people can throw shit about but can’t take it themselves. Another mark of being unstable.

JamSandle · 16/12/2022 11:06

I hope so. What Harry went through as a young boy, and William too of course, was absolutely tragic. I hope he finds peace and happiness.

MarshaMelrose · 16/12/2022 12:30

It's clear from the documentary he's not found peace yet. But, hey, he's got a book coming out next month and some more jnterviews to diss his brother and mourn his mother. Maybe that will move him along a bit.

With British economy tanking, inflation rampant, energy bills climbing, strikes, power cuts, the timing could be better for Netflix and the book

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 15/12/2022 23:01

He’s fine. He’s just thick as mince.

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂

HeadNorth · 16/12/2022 15:28

Why are you asking Mumsnet? Posters know the square root of fuck all about the inner thoughts and workings of the RF - especially the self styled 'experts', they're hilarious.

Spliffle · 16/12/2022 15:31

No he's not & one day when the marriage ends, he'll regret all this.

Suemademedoit · 16/12/2022 15:34

Darn, this thread was going so well with the first few posts.

Lilgamesh2 · 16/12/2022 15:40

MarshaMelrose · 16/12/2022 04:40

He's never got over his mother's death. He couldn't save her. So he's married a woman who he says is just like his mother. And he's trying to save her. It's a bit oedipal and screwed up.

Yes this exactly.

His overreaction to Meghan's bad press is some sort of trauma response to feeling powerless throughout his life to protect himself or his mum.

Still think he's a knob though.

Clearcoolhot · 16/12/2022 15:42

No. He’s not.

Wishimaywishimight · 16/12/2022 15:42

Ginger and Whinger about sums it up.

I had some sympathy in the earlier episodes but I'm just about finished episode 5 and all sympathy has vanished. The part where some member of staff on a plane knelt beside her and thanked her for everything she/they have done for the country was ludicrous. Her look was sort of; "yes, this is what I have been waiting for" or "what took you so long" 😀

Also, the part in the New York apartment (I think) where they were doing a 'guided meditation' on zoom and she cries at the end 🙄

GingerScallop · 16/12/2022 15:51

Are any of us ever okay? Perfectly okay? He is probably the most okay he has ever been. He is freer than he has ever been. Has got a beautiful, fierce, intelligent wife who dovetails him perfectly, he has no money worries, he has two wonderful healthy children, he is now able to pick and choose what he can support, he is building a supportive community of family and friends, he is more distanced from racists headlines and articles against his wife and children etc. He is as okay as a human being can possibly be. His future and that of his kids can only be brighter

ohyouknowwhatshername · 16/12/2022 15:54

I'm sure he's more ok than a lot of us. He is very loved up, has two healthy children, plenty of money and a lovely home.

IneedanewTV · 16/12/2022 15:58

At least he has his heating on. So I would imagine he is ok - nice and warm.

oldperson1 · 16/12/2022 15:59

No he isn’t OK. He is a miserable whingeing git who needs a kick up the backside.
