AIBU to think King Charles comes across as a really crap dad?

I mean really, this is just pathetic. No one is believing that KC couldn’t find a spare bed for his son. AIBU to think that as the parent KC needs to get a grip and grow up instead of just fuelling the drama?

Ugh - and then all that rubbish started up about the RF having assassinated Diana - it's all coming back, and I see what pps mean about the public losing their minds.

It was a very strange, lurid and unsettling time, but not for the obvious reason of the death of a RF member - more for giving a horrible glimpse at the baying mob from the days of public executions, and especially the guillotine and The Terror!

I know it was whipped up by the press - obviously - but it still shows how easy it is to manipulate the public.

The case has gone against Harry. I wonder if he'll need more financial support from his Dad?.

Why should he get more financial support? Harry's a 41 year old grown man who lives in a multi million pound mansion. Actions have consequences and he should have had the foresight and knowledge to know taking on this court case could result in a loss and a huge cost to him. Why should Charles be responsible for bailing him out?

I so agree. It was collective hysteria.

He shouldn't! However, Charles was financially supporting them even after they left to live in California. I don't think they can manage on their own.

From what I gather he cut off support pretty quickly.

I dont know the ins and outs but it's not for us to worry about. Harry made it quite clear he wants to live as a private citizen. He's written a book and appeared across several media mediums openly criticising his family. He can't have it both ways. Expect the very family he's openly trashed for several years to fund his lifestyle when it all goes tit's up.

You're quite right, of course. They made a choice to leave the RF and make money and get the headlines by trashing the RF and pursuing a victim narrative. It's given them the fame and the £milions they wanted. However, it's not sustainable. Two middle aged people basically blaming parents and incapable of managing themselves effectively?
Not great.

And Meghan is so much into female empowerment that she (as a relatively unknown actor outside of Suits fans) married a man that could bring her money and fame rather than earning both herself.

Maybe we have a different idea about money but how is someone who was making 50,000 an episode, doing other ventures of her own and becoming a millionaire by her own merit not earning for oneself?

She would still be in the top 1% by UK standards before she married Harry.

Yes wasn’t Harry very mad that Charles cut him off. A fully grown ass man with a child and wife mad daddy wouldn’t pay his bills anymore 🤣🤣😅

The telegraph just popped up with a things Harry lied about in this court case.

So, greedy and dishonest? Quelle surprise.

Thought them walking behind the coffin was Blair’s idea. That man is creepy AF.

The country collectively lost its shit. I was going to a wedding on the day of Diana’s funeral.

Seriously the bride & family had people phoning asking if she was cancelling, out of respect for someone she didn’t know??? People refused to go. Shops closed for the funeral. Man, it was a mad time.

They can all fuck off as far as I’m concerned. I can’t even be bothered to read the thread. All entitled ignorant pricks.

TBH I am not surprised that KC has finally lost patience with his drama-seeking son; I would have snapped long ago.....

Tony Blair wittered on about the People's Princess and put pressure on the palace to do things the way he thought best.

And constitutionally the monarch is obliged to act on the advice of the PM. S/he can question it, but if the PM insists, s/he has to do it.
I remember Blair's 'People's Princess' stirring thIngs up even more.

supposedly William never forgave Blair and that's why he wasn't invited to the wedding.

Yes KC is a crap dad
He could easily organise and pay for security for his son and grandchildren if he wanted too. His not short if public funded money.
I suspect the manipulative hand of Cowmilla in all of this as she hates that she's been outed as a marriage wrecker

Charles did find the chaos-merchant a bed - chaos-merchant didn’t accept it by the deadline set. It’s not like you or me finding a spare bedroom - Harry The Entitled requires all sorts of extras, which need advance notice to arrange.
Many families, mine included, contain nutters like Harry & Meghan - selfish, greedy, entitled, always doing everything in their power to cause the utmost amount of distress and chaos for everyone else, and always whining and crying “poor us”. I’m so glad Charles has stood up to them!

The type of security Harry wants you cannot just buy it’s government given and funded to those they see as needing it based on risk.

Harry has his own us security who will come with him but obviously won’t be allowed to carry their guns while here.

All Harry needed to do was accept the invite. The palace would have been fully staffed, security on site when/where needed.

I shouldn't bother trying to explain (although it's nice of you to try).
People who think "Cowmilla" is a clever pun aren't going to understand the ins and outs of security funding.

He is and always will be royalty and 5th in line for the throne. He is not denying his father access to his grandchildren and if King Charles cared more about his family and grandchildren, he would have spoken up in public about the disgusting & disrespectful treatment his son & daughter in law received from the racist press & public. But no King Charles perfers the money & luxuries to the love of his family.

No one is stopping him from jumping on a plane to visit his grandchildren. But without the protection that is offered to all Royals, working or not. Megan & the children are not safe in the UK. Would you bring your family anywhere where they are receiving death threats & even the racist press compared his son to a monkey. Come on, only someone with a half a brain cell would believe that Harry should bring his family to the UK without the proper protection.

He won’t remain 5 th in line to the throne, the minute the wales children get married and have children of their own he will slip further and further down, just as has happened to all the relatives of the monarch.

Would you get a grip of yourself and see behind what is really happening here with the poor, lost son.

A devious plan to get their family police protection that was denied previously given himself along with his yeah, innocent wife decreed they wanted to leave his toxic life and live their own to make their own way.

Then off he goes to the USA thinking he could ride on the back of his late Mother and all would be fine. Financially that has not worked out, so now his only means is, to threaten lack of contact with his children in order to get a way back in.

His court case has been thrown out. He no longer is a headline Prince (he does not deserve the title) and now has to grift his way in life similar to his Uncle who is also defunct in Titles.

If, they had come quietly not made the fuss they had, it may have shown us all that some form of reconciliation was possible. He and Megan clearly think they are above and, cleverer than the rest of us. Well, that has not worked out so well for them has it. In fact, I would say this visit has well and truly set them back not just in the UK, but Europe and the US who will no doubt be watching far more closely that UK and Europe are.

The farce that is Megan and Harry needs to end.

Princess Anne was second in line at one point and is now something like 17 or 18!

Come on, only someone with a half a brain cell would believe that Harry should bring his family to the UK without the proper protection

Noone gives a shit if he brings his family or not.

I've not read the thread but I agree op.
It's a really awfully poor show. .

Charles himself wrote publicly about his awful parents so he can't blame harry for following in dad's footsteps and then he went on national TV about his marriage !

I was reading about ormlry house being sold it's lady Annabel's old house and she hosted a party for Camilla's sister.
Apparntly Camila was outraged when Diana (invited )had the temerity to turn up !!
Imagine why diana did when she had it out with Camila who told her she has everything and what more could she possibly want and this young girl said "my husband ".

What they did to her was dreadful.
And everything the boys went through before her awful death.
Charlie's very naval gazing and self absorbed he needs to pull it out and show Harry some fatherly unconditional love.

He can stay in palaces with 24/7 security if he gives 28 days notice.

How is that not safe 🤣🤣

Email the grey suits. Arrange a date 28 days in advance. DONT tell the press. Arrive at air port and get collected by security and taken to palace. DONT tell the press. Spend time with families. Still DONT tell the press. Get taken back to air port by security.

Get home. Simples. We wouldn’t even need to know they were here. They have enough land and property that they can be Ina a forest or by a lake I’m sure well away from us plebs. Just DONT sell your in schedule to the press.

Very very safe.

It’s all about getting his IPP status back so he doesn’t have to pay for security when in America or other countries that he ironicy visits that are clearly much safer than his dad’s palace or castles. 3 mil a year I’ve seen quoted on his American security.
