Harry’s podcast

[smilesy]

Carrying on the discussion about Harry’s podcast.

Has Millions of pounds.

Has multiple mansions.

Whinging on and on and on, whilst people in his own Country are on the breadline or Homeless.

Bring me the worlds smallest fucking violin

I suppose this is now his only way of earning money, although I believe Diana left him a considerable amount. He needs to find an occupation or interest to spend time on. That might stop him brooding over his
dreadful childhood experiences. By the way, I doubt the Cambridges actually got wet on their visit to 'wet and windy Wolverhampton'. It's quite a nice place really.

I can’t see that talking publicly about his relationship with his father will bring about change in the monarchy. It’s not really relevant to how the institution and the succession work. It’s just bringing up your issues with your father and grandparents in front of an audience. How will that bring about “long overdue change?” He is just telling us how he feels, without us hearing the other side of things. He’s not giving us any solutions as to whether we should change the institution or not.

@Lockupyourbiscuits

It probably sounds dramatic but I just feel like he isn’t in the right place mentally to properly consent to all this oversharing I think he is being exploited for the money these dramatic statements bring in.

The fact he was surprised he was “frozen out “ means he doesn’t have full capacity to weigh up consequences

I agree, he is being exploited although he probably doesn’t think he is. If he was my son I would be very worried about him. When I think about his situation ( not very often I hasten to add but whenever he pops up) I imagine him a bit like a seal on a floating iceberg surrounded by killer whales.

This "young" couple so young, (he's 37 in September and she's 40 in August - just looked it up) - so young, fertility issues would be an issue if they hadn't got on with producing babies quickly. No-one thinks they're young, except those that wish to make excuses for Harry.

Loved: how to lose friends and alienate people - above !

So fed up with their whining.

Dignified silence would be appropriate but they don't know the meaning of dignity.

Grapsy little hands selling their souls.

@Nesbo

The only time I come across anything to do with them is people whining on about them on here. It’s the very definition of “hate following”.

Presumably with COVID and lockdown people ran out of stuff to watch on Netflix so they revel in someone else’s family drama instead.

I mean, that’s fine but don’t pretend they are invading your space - you’re actually low key stalking them!

Ha ha good try

sadperson16 with all due respect I am not your google, you can look or you can assume they just endorsed coffee.

You say 'these type of people make me sick' so the Smart Works inititative, the cookbook project for Greenfell community, the donations to various local charities, the baby supplies donation etc... all sick making

Plenty of people have “toxic” families and unhappy childhoods that are far worse than Harry’s.

Few people are Prince of the UK, it's a hell of a difference in royal circles. Harry was not brought up to be an engineer or a doctor, he was brought up to be a prince. He didn't choose what his future could be like, it was chosen for him.

As number 3 in line to the throne before William's marriage, he was brought up to be the support for grandmother, father, brother and the royal establishment. He was not brought up to be anything else but a support crutch to a family that caused his mother's death and an emotional vacuum he couldn't get over.

He didn't want to be another Andrew or Edward and decided to get out. He's still a prince, part of the family and have every right to speak publicly about his family and how he feels.

They have their freedom and a growing family. Why not enjoy happiness and the future, rather than continue to complain? We get it - he had a disfunctional family and tragically lost his mother. Is that awful start going to define his whole life?

How will that bring about “long overdue change?”

Because it is being talked about? There is no transparency in the RF whatsoever... whether that be how it's run, their finances, anything. It needs opening up. Perhaps this is the start

@Roussette, honestly I'm not that bothered about them. I admire people who are under the radar doing some great things.
I dont know them, I never will know them.
A lot has gone wrong in their families but they seem somewhat self obsessed.

[quote IWantAllTheDogsInTheWorld]@KFleming I've linked to this article which seems the tamest and least gossipy but Lizzy Cundy has given other versions of this interview (to tabloids) where she says Meghan asked her to introduce her to "famous English men". Basically Lizzy was dropped as soon as Meghan started dating Harry which she talks about too.

So? I’m not particularly a MM fan but this hardly seems like a damning indictment, especially without context. A friend of mine has a very well paid job at a law firm and spent some time working for them in Rome. I asked her to bring me back a rich sexy Italian. If I then went on to marry a royal, someone could say “oh she asked her friend to find her a rich man” and make it look like I am after their money.

Another week another bleat
What’s coming next week?
Isn’t he too busy doing all these important “compassionate “ jobs he has now ?

Harry thinks the first ammendment is " bonkers" and isn't afraid to let everyone know that. I can't see that going down well in the USA.

@JaniieJones

'Meanwhile, Kate and William visited a wet and rainy Wolverhampton, and spent time at organisations supporting those who genuinely need support......and looked like they were having fun. Thank God William is the firstborn - and that he chose his life partner wisely.'

Yes they demonstrate service and duty, so what if they're tax payer funded so were the Sussexes and look what a me me me saga they made of it! I wasn't ever particularly a fan but the way they carry on with bitter H's sniping from the sidelines is admirable. I think H is actually boosting thr RF's popularity.

I think they’re definitely boosting the popularity of the royal family. Ironically, they’re also uniting the RF in a way the probably never were before, apparently Charles and Williams vision has never more been closely aligned. Makes sense, C and W have probably been spending a lot of time dealing with things together lately

I also think Charles popularity has increased since Philips funeral, he’s always been seen as somewhat of a villain die to his treatment of Diana and history with Camilla, but watching him walk behind the coffin, he just looked absolutely...broken.
I think that made a lot of people sit and realise, do you know what, he’s only a human being.

sadperson16 yes, get what you are saying

Won't he run out of stuff to talk about soon? Or won't his current audiences get tired of hearing it?

It's very sad, and I can't imagine why they think any of this is a good idea for them personally. I am sure the money is rolling in now, but there is only so long the media will remain interested in the whining of an over privileged middle aged man. They aren't young. All this angst, figure pointing and blaming other people is something most people go through at about 15.

I hope for their children's sake they get over themselves, stop publicly defaming their families and settle into life as a family. They have everything, every privilege. They could be happy if they wanted to! At their age I'm not sure I had very much to do with my parents or siblings other than a weekly phone call, and xmas lunch. We lived miles from each other. We had our own lives. They need to grow up and live their own lives too. It's so so sad. Like watching a car crash.

I used to like Harry, he seemed like a fun young man, who really found himself in army life. Obviously he was harbouring a lot of demons, but I'm not sure this is the way to get past those. I wonder what his army colleagues think about all this? I imagine they have a few choice words.

Why does he have every right to speak out about his family in public? This is just his side of the story. And as the Queen said, “recollections may vary”. How would you feel if your child slagged you off on a world stage? I don’t care if he is a Prince or a car salesman, it is not a nice thing to do. If he wanted to get out, fine. But he still seems to want paid for security, a title for his son and so on.

I think they’re definitely boosting the popularity of the royal family

For royalists, yes definitely. They love their RF and won't have one bit of it criticised

For those who really don't care or who aren't royalists, really quite the opposite

He was not brought up to be anything else but a support crutch to a family that caused his mother's death and an emotional vacuum he couldn't get over.

^ Utter rot.

You make it sound like he was providing caring services for his family. Incredibly insulting to the young people who really do sacrifice their own lives and opportunities to shop, clean, care for and provide emotional support to their relations.

@VeilofWinterFog

In a lot of ways you can argue he is actually perpetuating the cycle. Wasn't it the case that both William and Harry were incredibly hurt and upset when both Charles and Diana did public interviews where they disparaged other immediate family members?

Yet here he is airing his dirty laundry on prime time tv and to seemingly anyone who puts a microphone to his mouth. To be used as sound bites ad infinitum for the rest of his life.

Good point. It is in fact William and Kate who are doing it differently. Hands on parenting and no tell all interviews.

@KFleming

the fact that she was looking for love in London makes me think that she had given up on the a-list dream before her hitting the Harry Jackpot.

🙄
Was she “looking for love in London” or was she maybe just in London when she met him. You make it sound like she was trawling the streets.

She was trawling the streets. She asked to be set up with Ashley Cole originally 😂
