Well, I’ll try and stay on topic, be as boring as possible and tone down my sparkling wit and knowledge of botany for fear of a backlash from the thread Stasi.
But I have been thinking about PH’s mental state, and I wonder if he’s not suffering from Post traumatic stress from even as early on as the death of his mother.
We all know Diana got into a car with a drunk driver, who drove recklessly fast in a tunnel, and that most importantly wasn’t wearing her seat belt and died from a ruptured aorta as her internal organs shot forward and then backward with the impact. She was not killed by the paps who shot her with some kind of arrows- she just died from internally bleeding, and might have survived has she been wearing her seatbelt.
If you think about why she had a drunk driver instead of proper security, the finger points to the RF who denied her this when she divorced.
Obviously, no one likes to take blame for someone’s death, so it’s a more convenient narrative to say it was the nasty press wot done it. And that’s where PH has laid the blame, rather than his Granny or dad.
If you remember the reason why HMtQ didn’t come down to London was she was supporting her grandsons... my thinking now is that Harry actually fell completely apart in those days and may have suffered real and lasting damage neurologically from the trauma.
Serving in the military in an active zone such as Helmand province must have exasperated any PTSD he already had... it’s quite common for military personnel to experience it, and especially if there has already been trauma in childhood.
I wonder if PH shouldn’t just check in somewhere nice and quiet and do a hella amount of therapy... even child centred therapy... in order to address any old wounds he may have.
I also think like a previous poster that a quiet life in Lesotho would have suited him a lot better... and maybe the delay in him going to Canada is because they can’t decide where to live. Apparently MM wants to hit it up big time in Toronto, and he wants to chill the fuck out in Victoria or Vancouver island, in the wilderness.
I would strongly advise him to stay undercover in Scotland, or go to Lesotho and get the help he needs rather than bouncing from so called gilded cage to having to grind the organ like some kind of monkey exhibit at the Fair.
I think these threads have real value as a kind of cautionary tale.
I think if PH posted in relationships, he might be told to LTB.
I do hope he’s OK.
BTW I like the comments about dinners, electric cars, nail varnish colours, and wild vegetation... I find them funny.
How’s everyone?
