Is there something seriously wrong with him?

There are a lot of famous actors who donate / raise money (millions) for charity. They also get on with their daily life without too much press intrusion. It’s only the z listers who bleat an about doing very little eg delivering food to a few people and making sure they call the paparazzi to get anything and everything they do in the press.

I think doing kind things and then boasting about it on social media is unspeakably naff and self serving, and marks you out as not a very kind person at all. ( This refers to celebs in general, not anyone specific).

Puzzledandpissedoff · 21/04/2020 15:08

It all reminds me of the sort of very young adult who has parents who have only told them how amazing they are at everything

But that's just the point - surrounded by sycophants, this is exactly what happens to members of the RF
Drop them into the real world, especially when combined with a less than insightful partner, and that's when it can go awfully wrong

RosesandIris · 21/04/2020 15:08

What Harry needs is parents he loves and trusts to sit him down and kindly talk him through his confusion and anger. I don’t think Charles has ever been a guiding figure in his life. His mother is dead. He is on very poor terms with his brother
who he now seems to see as a threat. He has had father figures who have been there to help and advise in the past who were on his staff. They have now left. He’s only got Meghan now. She’s not a good influence on him at all. Who is helping and advising her? Not her father. Her friends are mostly celebrities. Her mother is maybe not able to relate to her situation. They’re in the wilderness really.

The Kevin and Perry analogy nails it. Except that Perry was always polite to Mr & Mrs Patterson and you knew that one day they'd both grow up.

I think Bluntness was correct a few pages ago when she said Meghan was Harry's enabler. I know a couple where the bloke left his wife & DC for a younger OW who told him what he wanted to hear. All their problems were apparently caused by other people; their families, their neighbours, people at work and they continually moved on and on in their paranoid bubble, each time further from reality.

PP are correct to say Harry was largely protected from himself. Meghan has enabled him to be who he thought he wanted to be.

The Telegraph's comments have made me chuckle.

5LeafPenguin · 21/04/2020 16:39

I wondered whether the Telegraph editors tone had anything to do with the odd circs around the Archwell launch story.

PatchworkElmer · 21/04/2020 17:21

I can’t find the Telegraph’s Editor’s comments anywhere- does anyone have a link?

yoloPenguinsEatfish · 21/04/2020 17:27

oh Kevin and Perry! "Yes miss Patterson of course Miss Patterson". You just knew they would turn into adults after the hideousness...

NameChangeInfinite · 21/04/2020 17:34

Possibly pure coincidence but how bizarre that the announcement came on the eve of the Queen’s birthday. Just as the previous “bombshell” was dropped on the eve of Kate Middleton’s birthday.

RosesandIris · 21/04/2020 17:55

Yes, that’s what Inthought.

LetTheCabbagesDie · 21/04/2020 17:55

I think it's possibly done for piggyback onto the media attention of the Royal occasion.

Missillusioned · 21/04/2020 18:00

@RosesandIris Harry and Megan are well into their 30s. The time for parental guidance is over!

Viviennemary · 21/04/2020 18:06

Apparently some German newspaper is reporting shes pregnant. Not sure if I believe it.

RosesandIris · 21/04/2020 18:08

Well I suppose so, but I think even adult children need their parents

RosesandIris · 21/04/2020 18:09

At times of crisis

CallmeAngelina · 21/04/2020 19:00

Apparently some German newspaper is reporting shes pregnant.
Oh God, I hope not!
Sorry, but I do.

ElspethFlashman · 21/04/2020 19:20

At her age, I'd expect it tbh.

TimeLady · 21/04/2020 19:31

If she is, that's going to impact her chance of securing an acting role.

byvirtue · 21/04/2020 19:40

I’d be astounded if she was, she’s only just got her figure back and in Hollywood looks are of the upmost importance.

MissHoskins · 21/04/2020 19:46

Utmost, utmost.

ArriettyJones · 21/04/2020 19:57

Yes, to a large extent it’s inevitable*

From The Telegraph’s obituary of courtier Michael Colborne:

”She confided her unhappiness to Colborne, and he endeavoured to speak to her as plainly as he had to Prince Charles: “You’re never going to be on your own again. And you’re going to change. In four or five years time you’re going to be an absolute bitch, not through any fault of your own, but because of the circumstances in which you live.”

What Harry desperately needs is a few years away from the whole circus. The RF duties, the celebrity lifestyle, all of it.

He's made some piss poor choices and is now going to have to pimp himself out to whatever 'work' he can get to pay the insane bills the pair of them have condemned themselves too because of their choices.

If he'd stepped back for his health and not burnt every bridge on the way he could have had the quiet life they claimed they wanted, the public would have understood he needed time for his mental health and he wouldn't be having to find millions for security, housing and 23 private jets a month.

The reality is that they want the worthy roles of the roil family, but want to live as A list celebrities-look at the baby shower FFS, all while telling us how we should live.

They really need to shit the hell up right now, the rest of us are just trying to help our communities survive this mess. We don't need their shitty preaching.

I would also like a link fir the Telegraph comment if anyone can post it

CallmeAngelina · 21/04/2020 20:10

The Telegraph is usually behind a paywall.
