The royal family

To be shocked at some RF members turning their back?

It has been reported that some Royal Family members literally turned their back on Prince Harry at Prince Philip's funeral and refused to even acknowledge him.
I have had extended family members behave badly and are in no hurry to be friendly. But I think this is appalling behaviour. I would never do that and especially not at a funeral.
It reminds me of that video being shared where William and Kate totally snub and ignore Harry and Meghan.
It is just so rude and awful.

If this shocks you then don't read any history.

Henry chopped his wife's bloody head off!

fiheka · 06/05/2021 17:02

And the French chopped their Royal Families heads off.
But we do not live in those times any more.

Harry can't seriously expect the family to be pleased to see him after he publicly slated them - even before accusing them of racism, he went to the biggest chat show host and blabber about all things royal.
Fair enough to want to leave and start a new life but why they felt the need to do that l will never know.
I think my family would reject me too, if that is what happened.

@fiheka

Where did I say I support whatever Harry and Meghan have done? There are clearly different versions of what happened and I suspect the truth is somewhere in the middle with all parties being to blame. But treating a family member in this way is a sure way to make them walk away. Would you really be happy for your partner or dad to treat your son in this way?
Yea I would agree with the family member being treated this way. It is a 95 year old women and 99 year old man last weeks spent weathering a storm. If I was Anne, Edward or Andrew I would rip Harry a new one for causing such grief to my mother and father. Even as a cousin I would have words or completely ignored as I have and will do at my own family members funerals!

Excuse the typos!

Killergigglebunnies · 06/05/2021 17:05

They probably didn’t want to talk to Harry as worried anything they say will go to the press or be written in their latest book.
It was a seriously bad move to do the interview whist his grandfather was so unwell. Looks really bad on them.

MargaretFraggle · 06/05/2021 17:06

At the Commonwealth service you link to, W&K were in a church service, in a different row, on camera. Having shortly beforehand agreed not to walk behind HM to appease Harry and Meghan, because they shortly beforehand publicly ditched the RF. Again, maybe they just didn't feel like small talk at that moment.

I found it more interesting that Meghan made such a point of saying Hello tbh.

Isolatedizzy · 06/05/2021 17:07

But the footage we all saw when they came out of the Chapel was Kate slowing down to let Harry catch up, all 3 of them chatting & then Kate hanging back to walk with Sophie while William and Harry then walked up the hill together, Confused

SmallPrawnEnergy · 06/05/2021 17:09

You won’t get replies you want here OP. MN vipers hate Meghan and Harry and will take any opportunity to froth their hatred for them.

denverRegina · 06/05/2021 17:09

"And the French chopped their Royal Families heads off.

No we live in times where every last move is caught on camera for the media to distort and the masses to speculate on.

Mugs like you believe all the hyped up drama and on and on it goes.

fiheka · 06/05/2021 17:10

@Killergigglebunnies I would not expect them to have a meaningful conversation. Just hello, its a sad day isn't it?
Meaningless chat that just acknowledges the other person exists.
If my extended family treated my son in this way I would be furious.

Made his bed and is lying in it.

So to speak...

@FinallyFluid

Is that you Meghan.

PegPeople · 06/05/2021 17:17

But there is absolutely no proof this actually happened?? I'm so confused as to why you seem so cross on his behalf over something that appears to be completely unsubstantiated claims.

MyRight · 06/05/2021 17:19

So it’s ok for just Harry to bad mouth his family on a global scale but we should feel sorry for him because they apparently turned their backs on him?

Mayra1367 · 06/05/2021 17:20

If it did happen I don’t blame them . Harry & Megan have behaved disgracefully . Why would anyone speak to them if there is a possibility that conversation will be in their next tell all interview?

anon12345678901 · 06/05/2021 17:22

If a family member was talking like that about me and my family,, then I'd turn my back on them also. You reap what you sow so to speak. H&M have the freedom to say what they want, no matter if it's true or not, and no one can say either way for sure. What they do not have, is freedom from the consequences of their actions.

That's what I saw!

Grow up & stop believing everything you read in the media. FFS

GlutenFreeGingerCake · 06/05/2021 17:27

I must say I wouldn't be too happy if a family member gave a huge public interview about how terrible my family had been to them. Even if they had been genuinely badly treated it would still be upsetting that they talked all about it in public rather than try to sort it out in private.

TruelyWonder · 06/05/2021 17:28

They were upset about the death of Philip. Attending his funeral at the time. Probably were in no mood to handle a conversation with Haz. If a member of my family caused such drama as a loved one was having heart surgery and later dead. I would lank them at the funeral too. In the future possibly a conversation could happen and bridges made but not at the funeral or around that time.

Mummy194 · 06/05/2021 17:43

I have to say OP, I did not see what you are talking about, I remember KM talking to H for sure. Perhaps W too. I did not see a snub.

I did see a snub though when KM and S had sour faces in church at the CW. MM was being polite, but I found them extremely rude on a world stage. They all came in different cars, so if anything was said beforehand, it did not seem to bother E and W.

I think its more offensive for the family to treat you in a racist manner, belittle your MH, leak falsehoods and allow them to fester, than it is for you to expose the bigotry they are practicing on the sly.

Good. Spoilt little brat. Actions have consequences.

TheMostHappy · 06/05/2021 18:32

One of my aunts and behaved absolutely appallingly in the last few years of my nan's life showing little regard and respect for her well-being and old age, dragging her through drama after drama. She was told she wasn't welcome at nan's funeral. We found out afterwards that she had turned up and hid in a bush. All holy hell would have broken loose if anyone had spotted her. Turning our backs on her would have been the last of her worries.
