To be shocked at some RF members turning their back?

[fiheka]

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.

@Sallyandsam we have very different ideas of acceptable behaviour. And no one is expecting fawning.
I think constantly reading leaked untrue stories about yourselves and your wife must have been hard for Harry and Meghan.

I think the way the wider RF have responded to what has happened pretty much guarantees there will be no reconciliation and that Harry and Meghan will continue to be a more glamorous RF in America.

Its not “rumoured“ that PH wore a Nazi costume, the pictures exist on the internet.

Harry has caused all his own problems with his and his wife's behaviour so I have no sympathy for either of them. I doubt Meghan will even go to her own father's funeral and I can just imagine the reaction of her family if she does!!

@Theunamedcat I dont think Harry is that bright. And I don't think a one day course on diversity really teaches anyone anything.

I really can not imagine physically turning my back on a family member and pretending they do not exist.

But can you imagine having your dirty linen being aired in public - which may or may not have been true - by a family member? As a PP said, he made his bed, how the hell did he think they would react?

Haz? Glamorous? Only when he is styled by ru-paul

@Theunamedcat Meghan is glamorous. She is very beautiful and stylish.

I would not be forgiving a family member that caused such distress to everyone in the last month of someone's life.

I'd advise the RF to use Meghan's actions - if a family member mistreats you - refuse all contact and threaten to sue them if you don't like them keep repeating private conversations

Okay because that is worse than being racist?
Do what you want to family members, but cut them out forever if they tell anyone what you have done?

@Theunamedcat He is thick yes. Most of the RF are not gifted in that department though to be fair. Their distinct lack of any academic prowess is clear to see.
I have a low opinion of anyone that needs a course to understand that racism is wrong yes. I don’t know anyone in real life that needs that.

He’s made his bed. He gets everything he deserves.

I'd have tried to do chit chat about the weather walking up the hill if I'd been w&k but how can the RF ever trust him again!?

He has made his own bed. It's not just oh, let's brush it all under the carpet. Their claims were serious. The RF must be so angry and H is waiting for an apology. Did he ever seriously think that he could try and trash them on TV and then get an apology

So everyone thinks talking about racism is worse than being racist?

OP - unless you were at the funeral you have no idea whether Harry was snubbed or not.

Re. the Commonwealth Service 2020 - the Order of Service was printed with K&W walking in with the Queen, Charles. H&M not walking due to not being direct heirs to the throne.

Harry's meltdown (written all over his face that day) that he should be walking resulted in K& W deciding not to walk with the Queen and sit, same as H&M.

W, K and Harry's faces reveal the circumstances, Meghan grinned bizarrely the whole time like a beatific vision of a saint from heaven bestowing blessings on everyone, ie. weird, rictus "Joker" grin.

I remember being shocked at the time as Harry was so quick to jump up at the end as the Queen was leaving and nearly pushed chairs out of the way to be sure he was in front of Edward.

Photos where Harry generally looks furious and red attached - K&W had greeted with them in a line up and kissed them both anyhow, but not good enough for Harry - he wants to be equal to William, having oversold his place in the RF to Meghan I assume.

Guardian politely touching on the W&K no longer, walking but OofService shows they should have been. All over press at the time that Harry was demanding to be treated as equal to heir to throne....

No I do not know for sure. But there have been so many reports of it with no attempt from the palace to squash it, that I believe it.
And we know Harry and Meghan have been snubbed at the CC.

I am looking forward to the next Crown when the public are reminded just how badly the RF treated Diana.

OP, why are you allowing yourself to feel so aggrieved by something happening to multi-millionaires people so wholly unconnected with you?

Also, ‘ignorant’ doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.

@fiheka

Sorry I think that is wrong to ban someone from a funeral.

I have definitely said that certain family member is to be barred from my funeral (assuming I have a service with attendees) Fully justified and supported decision with my family.

What do you mean : talking about racism is worse than racism?

Harry is well known to have said several racist slurs and defended them as the people found them "funny". He had to be sent on a couple of "how not to be a racist" courses whilst in the army....

Are you not in the UK, he is well known for his unpleasant racist comments and Nazi outfit the same year as Auschwitz survivors visited BP on anniversary.

I remember being shocked at the time as Harry was so quick to jump up at the end as the Queen was leaving and nearly pushed chairs out of the way to be sure he was in front of Edward.

Oh God. He’s going to end up out-pompousing Andrew, isn’t he?

@SaturdayRocks it annoys me when I think of a father not doing anything about other family members literally turning their back on him.

@YanTanTethera123 We clearly disagree. My Dp said if he died before me he did not want his brother to attend. I told him I was not prepared to stop any member of his family attending as I think it is wrong to do that.

Ah yes the historically accurate documentary that it is.

But lets be honest, your colours are showing.

@MargaretFraggle

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.

@MargaretFraggle

they shortly beforehand publicly ditched the RF

What's your take on the proof that the blackmail attempt by the Sun which caused Harry and Meghan to announce their departure has been proved to have been leaked by someone subsequently promoted by William and Kate? Same person who is at the centre of the leaked letter to the Daily Mail case which Meghan just won.

Were they supposed to keep putting up with orchestrated leaks even when they know where the directed attacks are coming from?

No @fiheka. Being a racist is worse.

But...according to Harry himself in the OW interview he overheard a comment about his yet to be born child which he perceived as a racist remark. What did he do? Confront the person, tell them to back off? Possibly but neither he nor Meghan said he did. Instead he trotted off to report the comment to his wife. Who also did nothing about it at the time - at least, again, she didn't say she did. So it's hurtful at the time but you do nothing at all about it. But it's fine to bring it up two years later when you're having your turn in the spotlight and the person can't argue back or refute it. That, I'm afraid, shows me what PH is made of and I'm surprised that Meghan didn't take it further at the time.
