Is there something seriously wrong with him?

Earnestly describing them as “passionate about social justice” is absolutely hilarious.

ArriettyJones · 26/04/2020 02:17

I don’t think he’s a nut job ether, I think he’s a man who is hugely out of his depth.

I think so too.

Me three, and - more recently- he is very upset with H&M at being hung out to dry. It took a long time for him to show any irritation.

Exactly, a more accurate description would be passionate about justice when it concerns themselves only

I'm not a big fan of Camilla Long in The Times, but I cant disagree much with her here:

Meghan the narcissist gets her day in court, but she’s too blind to see she’s already lost

saying much the same as many of us here on MN.

I think the whole family has probably had to tread on eggshells with Harry for most of his life. I think he is probably very quick to take offence and to assume negative intentions. It's not surprising, given he was always going to be second fiddle to William, whose star would always be in the ascendant as his, due to the rules of succession would always be in decline. Pre-Meghan they could probably manage Harry to a certain degree - by pandering to him and by protecting him from the press. Constantly talking him down.

I think Meghan provided the validation he was looking for, encouraging the paranoia and feeding it.

I imagine LA was sold to Harry on the basis that he could walk around freely amongst fellow A-listers, no-one is bothered as there are so many stars. I imagine he was told he could be relatively anonymous there. When he finds out this is not the case it's too late to do much about it.

TimeLady · 26/04/2020 06:59

If the book turns out to be a kiss and tell, no A-lister will let them anywhere near.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 26/04/2020 07:04

The thought of Meghan getting anywhere near the presidency is laughable. What are her credentials for office? Even Trump had a business empire behind him. Who would fund her campaign? Would H hold hands with her at every event? Could she be trusted with state secrets? Not a prayer.

Hamsterian · 26/04/2020 07:22

It’s all such a mess, and it’s getting worse and worse.
Cumulatively, it’s now been blunder after blunder after blunder. So disrespectful “the Queen doesn’t own the word royal”. So many big actions and small actions which have spiralled them into this situation, 100% of their own making. I can’t believe there are still people defending their behaviour. H&M just need to calm the fuck down and stop making a complete dog’s breakfast out of everything.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 26/04/2020 07:47

To be fair, the presidency ambition rumour is probably entirely manufactured so I take back what I said, which was a bit mean. Except the handholding bit.

RosesandIris · 26/04/2020 07:53

It occurs to me that Harry is handing on the sort of experiences he had to Archie. Family fallouts, public washing of dirty linen, collusion to write tell all books. Manipulation and contrivance. Are these not the very things that made the lives of himself and his brother so miserable growing up? Poor Archie. He doesn’t even have other family around to mitigate the distress and embarrassment he will feel when he’s older. He will never see one grandfather, and the other only very rarely.

Bookies publish odds for all sorts of bizarre possibilities; 100/1 just reflects its unlikelihood. You could have got 66/1 on them calling their baby Tyrone Grin

Meghan's finger on the nuclear button. Shock I think I'd rather have Trumps.

MM is in good company on 100/1.....along with George Clooney, Kayne West and Oprah Grin

Quite probably, but I wonder how much he'd actually enjoy that.
It's one thing rolling up and magnanimously telling people to "just" call him "Harry" when a big thing is made of it, and it's newsworthy enough to be reported in the press.

How much he'll enjoy it if his magnanimous offer is replied to with, "What did you think I was going to call you, Haz?" and a "who-does-this-guy-think-he-is?" eyebrow flash remains to be seen.

OVienna · 26/04/2020 08:31

Queen "doesn't own the word royal" point , made in that pompous website statement, was incredible.

SliAnCroix · 26/04/2020 08:51

It was incredible, beggared belief. Going head to head with the queen Shock

At this point though, they're no longer reflecting badly on the RF. They're red carpet wannabes

SliAnCroix · 26/04/2020 08:53

@LaMarschallin yes, wait til somebody screams ''get back in line'' at him. Not even ''get back in line harry ''

I wonder how much more damage the book will do to her privacy case ?
She has claimed that the publication of her letter has caused distress to her father, yet, if the book's content is as suggested, she is about to do the same thing to the royal family? I would expect that the author might be called to give evidence about the letter and his part, if any, in revealing it to the American publication. It would not be a massive stretch for a half decent QC to then move on to questions about the forthcoming book. And let's face it, whatever your own feelings about the DM and MOS, they can definitely afford very decent legal representation. Whilst the word 'hypocrisy ' might not be voiced, it will definitely be implied.
I also think that once the book is published (postponed until August I read), the royal gloves will be off when it comes to the annual review. I suspect that H&M thought that by the time the book was published, they would be established in their money making endeavours in the US, and that they would not be depending on POW to continue to fund them going forward. Unfortunately for them, Covid-19 came along and put a stop to that, making it far more likely they will still need money from the RF. I can quite easily see the RF pulling up the drawbridge. I agree with those on here who have said that H has been indulged for most of his life, understandably, and still seems to expect that, even at almost 40 years of age. As dreadful as it is, he is not the only person to lose a parent in tragic circumstances whilst still a child. William lost his mother too. But I don't get the impression that William wants to blame the world for what happened. He, too, must feel anger as well as intense sadness about what happened and I suspect he has also tried to support Harry even whilst dealing with his own grief.
The whole situation is very sad and a big mess. Sadly, after this case is over, whatever the outcome, and once the book is published, I really think H will have well and truly burnt his boats with the RF.

Lordfrontpaw · 26/04/2020 09:04

So what’s the book supposed to be - I’ve not heard of it.

SliAnCroix · 26/04/2020 09:05

The RF should not give them another cent. They have a few million, they won't starve.

They are renting houses that cost a million a year to rent. They could buy a house.

SliAnCroix · 26/04/2020 09:06

Well, rumour had it that Meghan had been keeping a diary all along.

RosesandIris · 26/04/2020 09:06

I thought the house they were renting is 8 million a year?

ArchePenguin · 26/04/2020 09:14

Where is your source for that figure @roseandiris?

Viviennemary · 26/04/2020 09:14

I read about the rumour too. And she was caught recording conversations and poking about in rooms she shouldn't have been in. All heresay of course. Grin

CanIHaveAPenguinPlease · 26/04/2020 09:19

It will certainly be interesting when we get to their annual review. Unless the RF pull the plug before the year is up. I’d be fuming if I was them. Such damage & hurt to both their families. I hope they both think it was worth it. But I think they both think they are the victims. 🤷🏻‍♀️
