Christ I hope you don't see a pic my husband too of me and my DD, I look as if I'm scowling at her! I don't take a good pic and was caught mid glance at her and it was quite funny

MrsSkylerWhite · 25/08/2024 11:05

Good grief.

I think it's the dawning realisation that once again he is the spare

He is not going to leave Meghan and marry you

😂😂😂😂

Harry's image was very carefully cultivated/stage managed by the Royal Family PR team before he met Meghan. He was made out to be great fun, a "cheeky chap" and the poor young man who walked in front of his mothers' coffin in front of the entire world. Away from this PR, he's now just showing who he really is - arrogant, entitled, workshy and thinking that the world owes him a living for his birthright. And now the public are less than enchanted with him, he's angry - and it shows.

I really wish that he and Meghan would just disappear off the radar for a few years, find out what they're good at, and then come back better people.

Her reassuring squeeze of his arm reminded him that he was back in the room and he had permission to eat his pudding 😂

I do hope the OP is now reassured that she can start a thread away from the batshit Royal boards and still get sarcastic comments about Harry! It must make any concern she has about his haunted look so much better !

kierenthecommunity · 25/08/2024 13:08

I mean, let’s say for arguments sake he is ‘haunted’. I’m not sure why a random MOP should be concerned. That’s his family’s or wife’s job. There’s literally nothing I could do about it even if I had the inclination.

AmyDudley · 25/08/2024 13:13

No I don't think he looks haunted - unless 'haunted' is the new way of spelling vacuous.

Tagyoureit · 25/08/2024 13:18

Then you must don your cape and fly to rescue him!

Really OP, I’m sure there must be better ways to fill you time and more interesting matters to occupy your thoughts.

I think this is the silliest post I have ever read on here.

I get exactly that look on my face when DH talks about Arsenal being ‘too open at the back.’

Your DH has a point though

So many people say that but then eagerly go looking for any article ,TV programmes ,thread ,etc etc about them theu are never going ti go away until everybody stops paying so much attention to them ,.

Putting · 25/08/2024 15:36

Did the Royal Family topic on here close? I thought I’d hidden all these kind of threads.

EDIT: No, still going. Wonder why OP didn’t post this crap there, then? https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/the_royal_family

AlwaysKindaKnewYoudBeTheDeathOfMe · 25/08/2024 15:38

The look in his eyes is very often more 'tumbleweed' than 'haunted' tbh.

Depends on how you define "huge success", I guess. There's been a lot of criticism in the Colombian press and on social media.

I've got no concerns about Harry, no.

If he doesn't like his life, there is lots he can do to change it.

I don’t think there’s much he can do at all to change it. He can’t come back and have Britain’s press berate him and the British public would be up in arms. He can’t get any old job. He’s made his bed and has to lie in it. He always says Charles and William are trapped, but he’s just as trapped now.

Define ‘huge success’. I read that hardly anyone came out to see them. They’re absolutely laughing stocks in Britain and the US - they must be completely irrelevant to the average Colombian citizen.

I’m not into this whole Harry bashing thing. However he did seem to be marginalised at the odd lunch - the other 3 were on one table he was separated by a table leg and focused on his pudding.

He has changed and he does not look happy compared to how he looked before marriage. It’s not a few choice snap shots - it’s lengthy videos where his natural demeanor is melancholic and then he brightens up a bit eg when talking to kids - before looking sad again.

Also the DOS does seem to constantly hold his hand or grab him. She also seems to do all the talking. It’s actually quite humiliating for him inles he prefers it that way.

I think that by leaving the UK it was the final nail in any dynamics of him being equal in that relationship. He is the lap dog walking behind.

As they age and it begins to show they will lose any relevance whereas part of the RF he would always be relevant. At the moment the whole show trades on his royal status and her ‘glamour’s It’s all very sad and sad that it did not work out here in the UK. Like many I was excited by the marriage but now it seems disastrous like trying to push a round peg into a square hole.

If I were them I would find some truly worthy thing that they fill inspired about - Invictus is all they really have. These faux royal tours seem contradictory if H want more privacy and also I’m
not sure of the purpose.

H dad might love him but looking beyond that William might never want him back.
Perhaps H now realises that there will be no more Windsor Castle Balmoral and even Highgrove. He will never properly represent the UK on the world stage. His kids will never have any cousins to play with. He will never mix so freely with true celebrities . Door will be permanently closed to him that were previously wide open. He won’t attend another coronation. He is to all extents exiled and other than brief flying visits can’t risk lengthy stays here for a multitude of reasons eg M simply won’t come anyway. A celebrities won’t want to offend the Crown as many like mixing here with royalty etc

His future life is mixing with B or C celebrities. I hope that he finds and has some decent friends to spend time with but he needs a proper job.

Actually I don’t wish him anything but good but it seems that Meghan wanted a type of life and was determined to gain that. If they had tried to make it work for 5 or more years fine but she bolted pretty swiftly taking H with her.

The excitement of the interviews, book and Netflix series have all died down. Now he is looking at a scene of utter devastation. His kids won’t even get to know their regal grandfather and cousins and will have no gloss of royalty. People will only be interested in them as the kids that were hidden away but no more.

He will also be getting to that stage in marriage where the novelty has died down and it depends on a stable relationship.

He and M need to work out a way forward as the current movement is one of declining status. I mean what next? A trip to North Korea?

What has he done?

Great analysis'!

Jesus if I had thousands of pictures taken of me you could read anything into any of them. People are so fucking weird about Harry.

All of this! So bizarre

A huge success? They had 3000 cops protecting them. What was the reason for the visit? What good came out of it? They had a couple banal conversations, visited a school they'll likely have no further contact with again. (As per their track record) Some kids got used for a photo op, which is not something they would do with their own kids. They whole thing is gross, dumb, pointless and self agrandizing.

Harry is paranoid about security to the point that he and his kids don't have a normal life.
