Please for the love of god @mnhq find and restore the Royal topic. I had it hidden!
No more of these vacuous, mindless royal threads cluttering up active threads. We've been overrun.

No idea what happened there, sorry

The level of hate being directed at Harry in all the major sites is just…. Bizarre?! I get being indifferent but some of the attitude and language being used on sites like this is just weird. So many people commenting on a person they supposedly dislike! The comments on the tabloid sites are next level hate too.. I think they are just desperate to make Harry look awful because of what he’s accused them of. Which is probably all true. Totally agree @jays a lot of people falling for the spin and using it as an outlet for their own negative feelings.

Couldn’t agree more, it’s truly horrible to witness.

I think the issue is that so many people are, on a day to day basis so consumed by hatred and they have no ability to see that they’re full of rage and anger and resentment or to understand why that’s the case for them and the minute the media (and let’s be honest, the media are the ones you give the majority of folk their opinions) give them an outlet and permission to spew that hatred, they just can’t help themselves. People will comment with feelings of complete and utter faux outrage about interviews they haven’t watched, books they haven’t read and people they’ve never known because it’s an outlet for the hate they carry within themselves. It’s a mob mentality right now so you’re not going to get much sense to be honest. Just a pile of ‘burn the witch’ brigadiers.

I had no strong feelings about Harry before the last couple of weeks. I empathised with him leaving the royal family and making a new life for himself.

All empathy is gone now as he’s insulted everyone and anyone he can. His army comments alone are enough to make me think he’s a selfish idiot as he’s put the security of the whole nation at risk.

He does not care who he trampled on or embarrasses, he just wants to make as much money as he can.

The whole family have been doing exactly what Harry is doing through the medium of the toxic UK media for years. The media are the ones at risk here, that’s why the book was ‘leaked’, so the media could take control of the narrative prior to its release. . As Harry says, the Royal Family have written many books throwing each other under the bus over the years. The point that I and another poster were making isn’t that you can’t dislike someone or have a strong opinion etc. it’s the extreme levels of bile, deep hate and vitriol being launched right now, it’s truly horrifying and disgusting. It really is breathtaking. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what you’ve just said obviously but that’s clearly not what I’m talking about. There are some seriously disturbed individuals on here and across social media who will direct their hate at whatever the media tell them to direct it at and and love nothing more than to be given ‘permission by the media’ to spew their faux outrage and it’s really quite horrific to watch when it’s aimed at one person. Especially when that person is speaking up about the very media who are proving his point beautifully and people can’t see it. Anyway, just how I feel, it disgusts me. The media just have to shout ‘release the hounds’ and the mob have never failed to stoop to the challenge yet. It’s a very sad state of affairs to me.

Would someone who had read the book please been kind enough to tell me which chapter number tells of the death of Prince Philip?

The army stuff isn't new. It has been public knowledge since 2013 when the media were all hailing Harry as a hero, funny how things have changed

SavoirFlair · 14/01/2023 10:46

Hi @Blip why on Earth start a topic saying “can I discuss Harry / his interviews / his book” without actually discussing it??

YABVU.

just say what you have to say

toomuchlaundry · 14/01/2023 10:59

@happinessischocolate it’s the kill number narrative that has changed things
