@x2boys

Why because the media tells you they are ?

So how do you explain the "I was told the queen mother died by phone" story.

It was the school holidays and there are pictures of him in Switzerland before she died.

If it isn't a lie please explain the timeline.

SilkFloss · 31/08/2024 13:28

Ah but @marcopront , it's "his" truth and even if it's not based on fact, it still counts, apparently.
Who knew?

Princess Margaret died just a few weeks before, may be mixed then up in his mind but why would it matter anyway it was many years ago and not really relevant to anything ?

I think there both beyond awful by now. Harry is like a petulant child and William walks round like he’s got a broom shoved up his arse. I suspect they are both really hard work individually as well as as brothers.

Edited

Apparently William is quite stuffy in real life.,takes his role and future role very seriously indeed,if that’s the case, and I suspect it is, I can only Imagine how horrified he is by his brothers behaviour, both now and growing up,

It is completely relevant to your statement that the only way we know he is lying is because the media tells us he is lying.

You are now changing it to he made a mistake but it was so long ago it doesn't matter.

If someone says something that is not true, then that is a lie.

He took no time to fact check statements because he doesn't care if they are accurate.

I'm not changing anything, you asked for an explanation I gave you an explanation that could have happened ,again I'm really not sure why this is such a big deal given the Queen mother died over 20 years ago 🤔

I mean why would he deliberately lie about where he was when he heard about the death of his extremely elderly Great Grandmother ,what would he gain from that, which is why I think ( but I could e totally wrong he got mixed up)

Yes I can imagine. I think they both too they privileged and to stupid to think that have done anything wrong, it happens in lots of families not just this one. William however is going to be head of the Church of England and forgiveness is a thing in the bible.

Totally agree! Who bloody cares, it's just another stick to beat him with. Ooooh, he got that wrong, he obviously lies about everything.

I could be asked about when/where I heard news of the deaths of certain relatives from decades ago and no doubt I would muddle it all up.

It's hardly catastrophic is it.

There's been a lot of horrible stuff said about the both of them on this thread... particularly unpleasant speculation about when they're going to divorce (not even 'if'. It's spoken about like a fact) I think some people are forgetting this is a family with two little children. Just nasty. Lots of horrible name calling of them.

GoldOnyx · 31/08/2024 14:28

Eyesopenwideawake · 30/08/2024 20:39

Not until one of them needs £20m for a divorce.

I was just going to say that 😂

Yep it's as though some posters would be delighted if they divorced ,so they can make all their little in jokes and pat each other the back for being " right" really vile.

Course they would! They want Harry to come 'crawling back' and William to send him packing. That's been said on here. Really unpleasant.

He used it as an example of how shit his family was to him; how cold. When in reality he was skiing with his dad, I guess the most recent example is when h3 said his dad was too busy to see him on his last trip. When Charles was willing to see him but Harry refused due to him wanting security,

Again he certainly isn't the first Royal to write a book both his parents did .

As it was so easily googable I fail to see why he deliberately lie about it ,it makes no sense it's like people a trying to use past events from many years ago as a gotcha .

Very different books though, I’m not sure you’d convince anyone it was the same thing.

I suspect he just lives in a fantasy world in his head. It’s his truth, same as Megan telling the world they got married the day before. And the archbishop having to put out a statement saying they had a rehearsal that couldn’t be mistaken for anything but a rehearsal.

Comedycook · 31/08/2024 15:41

I'm the same age as William and have a younger sister similar age to Harry. Our mother also died in the 1990s when we were a similar age to them. It's so sad they are no longer close...I always think Diana would surely have been devastated about it.

tiggergoesbounce · 31/08/2024 16:55

I think, just because you are family, that doesn't mean you deserve to be in someone's life.

I would like them to resolve their issues as they were once close, and I don't think either has done anything unforgivable, but if going forward, with William having to toe the royal party line and living seeing no wrong with their actions, I'm not sure they can be close again. Maybe when Charles pops his clogs, William can be his own man more.
