Serves him right. He's made millions from Netflix, book deals and accusing them of being racist. Bit odd he's now coming back.

Will the King pay his debts.I hope not. Now the long suffering public will be fleeced for his security costs which will be around £5m a yea r. And they wonder why they are unpopular.

Let’s be clear here you didn’t suggest, you said they were mentally ill for having the opinion they did. And I repeat who are you to diagnose anybody with anything.

Same as you, some Randomer on the internet?

Do you actually think my analysis is incorrect- or is just expressing it the real issue for you?

Are you saying Harry bribed someone with £75,000?

Don’t be ridiculous. It seems the law following its natural course and coming to a lawful decision has again upset a lot of people.

You don’t need to be upset to understand that the British media has a history of phone hacking and that it’s very sus for someone to sign a witness statement admitting having done phone hacking for the ANL newspapers such as the Mail and then claim it’s a forgery.

All you are doing is trying to back peddle from a comment you made which has now been deleted . Your analysis was just beyond ridiculous and not based on any fact just your opinion. And it was your opinion that called someone mentally ill against all based on a comment you don’t agree with. You just don’t like having someone point that out to you.

You need to come to terms with the fact the The Mail won the case

Oh jeez what’s with all the wounded bleeding heart “stop the HATE” posts? 🙄 They’re entitled prats. We are entitled to have a pop. Chill out.

You might have a pop on an online forum, someone else will threaten or attack them or their kids. The more people bitch about someone the more people start deciding they’re someone they need to do something about

It has is all going a bit too Jed Maxwell for my taste.

Since I’m not financially impacted by the case, what do I need to come to terms with?

No, no hatred there. You seem to have a rather perverse view of what constitutes ‘hate’. Being pleased, or even gleeful, that someone taking a vexatious court action is required to pay the other sides bill is not hate.

Wow id love to know in what world forcing young children who have not chosen their place or destiny to walk behind their tragically killed dead mums coffin is a privilege ? To please a baying public ??
And all the rest !

Yes the crowds wanted it but at the time I'm sure they said they would it if granddad did it with them. I think originally it was her brother and the then Prince Charles but Philip did walk with them.

Where is this mythical hate that people keep coming on these threads and declaring?

If you can't see it, then....

Well it’s obviously upsetting you that Harry and the others lost the case

EmeraldShamrock000 · 22/08/2026 16:09

I don’t think that any newspaper has the right to hound anyone, the obsession is relentless. It shouldn’t be allowed unless it is actually a news story not any old nonsense that they make up at the news desk.

Why would you like me to be upset by it? Very bizarre…

And yet their very good friend is posting articles about them in the very paper Harry now owes a lot of money to (which I am not supposed to think is weird apparently). Maybe they only like being spoken about if they can dictate the content?

It’s not that I’d like you to be upset its
more you are showing yourself to be upset by it all.

They don’t make up nonsense at the news desk though. The stories have to be checked otherwise they’d get sued.

Can you quote which bit shows this ‘upset’? Fascinating…

You probably also believe it when tabloids say they have a ‘source they cannot name’ 🤣

Hint: there is no source, it’s made up.

Well you keep going on and on about the mail
wining the case and how the judge must have been got to. That would indicate to me that yes you are upset by it. It okay to admit that so don’t be scared about it.

So you can’t point to anything? Thought not…

You’ve posted way more than me so that means you must be upset. Don’t be scared to admit it…
