I mean we have cost of living crisis, an NHS which is just not coping but Harry's drug taking at Eton and all the other little revelations are on the BBC news front page!

I've decided that every thread about it gets this response:

WHAT ABOUT ANDREW?

Every time. Sick of a bit of a silly navel-gazing man getting worse press than someone cavorting with sex traffickers.

Totally agree, sick of the snippets of his book coming through as ‘breaking news’ and it totally taking over the top stories. I don’t give a shit.

Esmereldaaa · 06/01/2023 15:23

I posted about this a few days ago and got shot down! No idea why! 🤷🏻‍♀️

GracePooleslaugh · 06/01/2023 15:23

I'm just shocked he wears a necklace tbh

ILoveeCakes · 06/01/2023 15:24

Don't worry. Soon, he will surely have dished all his gossip.
At that point, the media will turn on him and generate their clicks that way.
The same routine they pull on lots of people.

KangarooKenny · 06/01/2023 15:24

I’m not in the slightest bit interested. I don’t believe one word from any of them.

SoupDragon · 06/01/2023 15:24

fucking hell, do we really need another thread saying how much people don't give a shit. And cost of living/NHS/blah blah blah...?

scoobycute · 06/01/2023 15:26

@GracePooleslaugh 😂😂😂

DdraigGoch · 06/01/2023 15:27

It's impossible to avoid as well, even the broadsheets are sticking it on the front page.

HIGNFY's Facebook page (always a good laugh) summed it up:

Russia and Ukraine clash over proposed ceasefire, according to small headline beneath one about Prince Harry receiving the wrong order at McDonalds

user6278908823 · 06/01/2023 15:28

Couldn’t care less.

Nothing in his book is ‘breaking news’ as a past poster has said. Every interview, book and word that comes out of his and his wife’s mouth isn’t worth the time reading/listening to.

ShillyShallySherbet · 06/01/2023 15:28

I usually roll my eyes at it all and no I don’t really care but what he’s allegedly said about people he killed being chess pieces has really upset me and that crosses a line for me. What is he trying to achieve by being so awful! He strikes me as someone who is very vulnerable and desperate for attention and money and acceptance and a host of other things and he is being exploited by greedy publishers and tv execs. It’s really sad.

RaininSummer · 06/01/2023 15:29

It's very tedious. I find myself fast forwarding the news every evening.

TooBigForMyBoots · 06/01/2023 15:35

I like to get my information from unbiased sources. I'm binge watching C4 documentary series The Windsors before I read and comment on the book.🤓

I am immensely proud of PH though, writing a whole book when he can't even read.🥹

RobertaFirmino · 06/01/2023 15:35

It's the Taliban's response to his revelations that's shocked me! They've got a bloody nerve banging on about human beings and 'cruel and barbaric' war crimes. Women are human beings too, for fucks sake and it's very telling that people seem more focused on Harry's drug use than the hypocritical Taliban fuckwits and their bullshit.

Mushroomlady · 06/01/2023 15:39

Fgs why do we need threads every 2 mins saying 'Why are we all talking about PH?'. So annoying!

Astrak · 06/01/2023 15:40

He's a true waste of space, and extraordinarily boring whilst being so.

Applecottagetree · 06/01/2023 15:43

Complete distraction technique by the media so we don't focus on the actual issues we are facing as a country. And we gobble it up.

Iam4eels · 06/01/2023 15:49

"I'm sick of hearing about Prince Harry" says person making yet another thread about Prince Harry and many of the people commenting on said thread.

Just don't read/click on the articles, other activities are available.

Snarkysnarksnark · 06/01/2023 15:51

YABU for not posting this in the royal family topic.
I hid the royal family topic because I am sick to death of seeing all the threads about it.
There’s no bloody escaping it if people are going to post about it in other topics.

See this is what I think and that's why it's a problem. It must be intentionally done

PeterRabbitIsNotHere · 06/01/2023 15:53

And yet you start a thread about it - some people!

TheKeatingFive · 06/01/2023 15:54

I'm not sure starting threads is an appropriate response to being sick of this being talked about.

Just, don't talk about it.

Don't click on the links.

Do something else instead

CurlUpAndDye · 06/01/2023 15:56

Agree. He's full of shite and trying any tactic to hurt his family and Britain. Can't understand why some people believe his garbage when he's a proven liar and just wants money any way he can get it.

I don't know about you but I can focus on more than one thing at a time.

x2boys · 06/01/2023 16:00

Why start yet another thread OP.could you not just.post on one of the other eleventy billion threads claiming not to care whilst simultaneously starting endless threads????
