Original poster

Bored of hearing about Harry

Omg... I know it's because he's brought this book out, but anyone else just bored of seeing article after article about Harry?? Do people really care? Ive nothing against Harry or Meghan, I'm just not interested, simple as that.

What is it he actually wants from this?? I thought he didn't want to be in the limelight but he's in it more than ever now.

William and Kate can never answer this can they? They're going to be king and queen.

Precisely. How low of Harry to wage asymmetric media warfare.

TheKeatingFive · 05/01/2023 17:51

Wills and Kate have been putting out their side of the story via the press for years now. And I'm sure all the stories coming from 'aids' and 'sources' will continue.

Alaldlccmemsjzja · 05/01/2023 17:53

I have such little interest and it’s everywhere

I wish they’d all just stfu and stop acting like soap opera actors it’s super crass and embarrassing

harry used to be my favourite as well

I love how so many of you are excusing violence just because you dislike the victim 🤣

That's fucking hilarious.

How do you know there was any violence? Were you there? Or do you believe everything Harry says? You must be a die hard fan. Sad.

sst1234 · 05/01/2023 18:02

How long before the inevitable divorce and both these chances can sell more stories, but this time about their marriage?

Xomega · 05/01/2023 18:04

Suggest you don't read about King Richard III who had his nephews murdered to secure the crown.

It is impossible for us to understand the power dynamics of being a member of the family.

ThreeblackCats · 05/01/2023 18:08

I’ve not read any of their crap. I’ve not watched any of their crap on tv.

so far, nobody is shouting through my letterbox.

Kittens isn't talking about there was violence or not. It's about poster are defending violence in certain situations.

I thought that wasn't true but a story that was set up by the Tudors to demonise their enemies.

Bored but ashamedly following

can’t get over breathtaking contradictions

we don’t want publicity
I want my family back

he’s busting his balls to do the extreme opposite

It's about boundaries . Him speaking "his truth" isn't the same as invasive press

I for one am SO excited for the book 📕 juicy January 🤣

donttellmehesalive · 06/01/2023 04:27

I think it's a bit low to write a tell-all expose about people you know will never retaliate or tell their side of the story.

I am sure that members of their family could find a few scandalous stories about him if they were minded to do so.

They're only in the public eye for constantly, constantly moaning about being treated badly and getting out. Surely everyone will lose interest eventually.

Kevinyoutwat · 06/01/2023 04:40

The only thing that’s boring to me is the whole Harry is the devil and Kate and William are saints who shit gold and can do no wrong attitude.

I’m quite enjoying it all. It’s like punch and judy. The scandals of the Royal families have been entertaining the plebs for centuries and so it will continue.

secsee · 05/01/2023 09:52

Where did he say no publicity? He doesn't want people invading his personal life and selling contrived stories. He's not stupid enough to think he'll never be in the public eye, he's still in the RF.

There's is no contradiction.

He wants to be the only one mining his private life and selling contrived stories…. Wink

FromTheFront2theBack · 06/01/2023 05:01

It is making me lose my faith in humanity slightly. Harry probably is completely messed up mentally - hardly surprising with his upbringing. Not something many people could cope with unscathed. The way people are reacting to it though is really embarrassing for them. The amount of uproar compared to prince Andrew is ridiculous. Illustrates perfectly how we need to let go of the royal family.

DeeCeeCherry · 06/01/2023 05:18

Nah you're not bored.
Right wing media have been goading M&H for years feeding you titbits to take your mind off a fucked up government and royal family. If you weren't bored of that then you'll cope now.

Nobody's used to the RF being answered back, particularly older WW can't bear it so you'll have to ride the wave. MM talks about them the most, 2nd is Twitter where same demographic can't leave it alone. Even Clarkson's sordid wet dream about another man's wife gave more ammo so it goes to show

Its good for Murdoch I suppose he knows exactly who to crank up very easily

PenguinsOnToast · 06/01/2023 07:21

I want privacy.

LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!

Anyone would think he's got a book coming out.

AFingerofFudge · 06/01/2023 07:35

I'm fed up with how this government are fucking us over and Murdoch etc are continuing to turn the public's head with this yawn fest. There are so many other things people should actually be concerned with going on in our world but no, let's keep thinking about Harry. Susie Dent put it well on Twitter - " Word of the day is a reminder of Sparple- to deflect attention from one thing by making a big deal of another thing entirely "

TheKeatingFive · 06/01/2023 07:42

I want privacy.

Which he never said. But thanks for your contribution.

mrshoho · 06/01/2023 07:44

I'm fed up of it taking up space on our news channels. I don't read the papers anymore but I'm sure it's all over them also. I don't want to hear about it and quite honestly it feels like a pathetic pity party from an extremely privileged man. No doubt he has issues and went through trauma following his Mother's death, but maybe if he swapped places with me or millions of others, he might realise how bloody lucky he really is.

ButtOutBobsMum · 06/01/2023 08:00

Surely he's played his trump card now? I'm presuming there are no more "revelations" now that the book has been leaked. He's done the Netflix documentary, held all the tell-all interviews. It's unlikely that there is going to be any official comment by the senior royals. So when all the press furore has died down he'll have run out of attention seeking material and will hopefully disappear into obscurity. We can hope, anyway.

I agree. Harry is a flawed human but so is his brother. It's the sheer nastiness of some g the posters who are anti Meghan which started as soon as they got married. The thing is I don't think that these people really care about the monarch. It's just people love having someone to hate. It's like at school, I'm autistic but diagnosed until my 50s so pretty odd I guess. There was a couple of girls who were mean to me but the worse thing is that other people would join in at times to fit in.

MarshaBradyo · 06/01/2023 09:31

I haven’t got that involved but the book stuff has made me laugh

It’s some gossip that people are talking about seriously which is also amusing

Cluelessat33 · 06/01/2023 09:32

Nope, i entirely agree. I am fed up of hearing about the internal squabbling of privileged family, from a privileged man, who has no idea of the terrible situation faced by many of his countrymen. I couldn't care about who said what. If you want to be relevant, be helpful. If you're not going to be helpful, shut up.

It's a convenient side story for the media who stop focusing on the cost of living, the NHS in crisis and they general state of things for a few days.

Happygirl79 · 06/01/2023 09:32

It's all down to greed and grudges

Trainbear · 06/01/2023 09:58

Makes me feel a bit sorry for Megan, did she know she was marrying such a whackadoodle whinger.
