Harry forced to watch his dads affair partner in the place his mum should have been

I feel so sorry for him. It would eat me up if I had to watch Camilla smiling and waving in the spotlight. She tormented his mother and wife. She (and his dad of course) spoiled his childhood.

I do apologise, APB was not with his wife, she sadly passed away. Anyway, he clearly bears no ill will.

Some people are capable of putting the past behind them. I thought it was nice to invite Andrew Parker Bowles and his current wife
.

Unless it's because he's catering the buffet – all-you-can-eat Coronation kebabs?

CornishGem1975 · 06/05/2023 16:15

Camilla and Andrew are still good friends I think aren't they? Didn't he represent her at something recently - a funeral I think. Probably because they're realists, and adults.

Ah, just saw your comment about his wife. Sad.

Haven’t RTFT. Diana died nearly 26 years ago, surely it’s time to let go of the past.

Charles and Diana’s marriage was a disaster from start to finish, I’m sure Harry understands this now given that his own wife’s first marriage fell apart within a few years.

Only because she cheated.

She went after Gary Lineker as well but he very sensibly ran a mile.

Show quote history

Really?

If the rumours about Lineker are true, running a mile from a pretty woman would be rather out of character.

Are you actually stupid ?

Show quote history

Got back from hairdressers a few hours ago. Did some family stuff and logged back in and yes I can confirm I am actually stupid. I have a certificate and everything!

To be honest I’m reading some of the PPs and PMSL on this rainy grey Saturday afternoon.

Weren't Diana's affairs tit for tat? Even the hagiography of Camilla on tv the other night made it clear that Charles never stopped shagging her, why wouldn't Diana go off and have affairs?

It’s the way the aristocracy have always done things. Produce an heir and spare, then you’re free to shag who you like as long as you are discreet and don’t let it become a scandal.

True. Maybe best not to go there! Some random model would probably be a safer choice than the Princess of Wales!

IamFamousIam · 06/05/2023 18:06

If she was still alive Diana would have a string of failed relationships, too much plastic surgery and would probably have been on I’m a Celeb by now.

Tony Blair is responsible for the Princes walking behind the coffin?

Apparently someone who’d been PM for 5 minutes had the power to force procedures at a family funeral

I'm with you OP. Can't be bothered to read all the comments lacking in simple empathy and kindness. I did do an eye roll at the Guardian photo of the old bag on the throne, Charles himself had the depth to look anxious and serious, she looked like the cat who'd got the cream. Fingers crossed for karma. 😂

Perception is so weird. One poster said she looked miserable, this one says she looks smug.

Nice to see sexism and ageism is alive and well though Hmm

Yep two boys had a very privileged upbringing but their parents had an unhappy marriage. Their dad cheated and their parents divorced. Their mum tragically died and their dad married a woman who he had an affair with during their marriage.

that is tough - but lots of people are the children of divorce, lots of people lose a parent and lots of people have issues with a step parent.

Harry has turned this into his personality. He was so young when this all happened and I know it must have been tough. But he is a middle aged man now - I am not saying he should get over it but surely he can see while yes he has suffered he has also been unbelievably blessed throughout his life.

Middle aged?? He’s 38!!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 06/05/2023 18:44

Long thread, I haven't read all of it, so someone else may have said this. If Diana had worn a seatbelt and survived that accident, she would have been nearly 62 now. I think a lot of people still imagine her as she was in 1997 when she was 36, or even earlier. Would she have aged well? I doubt it, personally.

He doesn’t look anything like JH. He has Charles’s close set eyes and nose shape.

Show quote history

I’m actually quite embarrassed for people who think there must be a DNA connection because both have red hair but no other common features whatsoever. Diana’s sisters are red heads, half her family were

Stripedbag101 · 06/05/2023 18:50

Okay so while there is no strict definition of Middle Aged - it is usually defined as 40ish to 55ish.

he will be 40 in 18 months - he isn’t a young pup anymore - he is a balding man pushing forty! Okay - he is in the early stages of middle age - but I dkk on t thinks it’s outrageous to do scribe him and William and Kate and Meghan as middle aged!

Inkpotlover · 06/05/2023 14:20

@Maireas She also stole things out of Diana's wardrobe after she died and does Dress Up Tuesday where she puts on one of her dresses and pretends to be her. Charles doesn't like it.

DYING 😂😂😂

Oh God, don't poke that wasp's nests! There are posters on MN so adamant it's true you'd think they'd been sitting at the end of the bed while it happened.

Show quote history

Exactly when actually the only source is some deluded Harry-loving weirdo who makes money off Royal scandals, having drunk-Tweeted. Poor Rose, poor William and Catherine - it’s such utter bollocks, and MNers are simply desperate for these people to be in miserable marriages when actually they’re probably all completely elated with their lives.

Sudeko · 06/05/2023 19:23

I'm sure Harry will let us know his thoughts about the event in quite a lot of detail. Out soon! 😀
