Harry's latest ventures

Now being reported in the Daily Express that Harry is working on a new tell all documtary about royal life. This is according to his biographer Angela Levin. And even more disclosures about the royal family are forthcoming. Is this going to go on for years. We shall have to wait and sed. I think its very very wrong of him.

I think it is probably a safe bet to think that Andrew will cling on to titles and privilege with all of his strength

Sadly you wouldn't get very good odds; they say betting on certainties doesn't pay

If it is proven that he has done what it is claimed he has done then I absolutely think he should be stripped of both titles and privilege

So do I, but that's why he'll never get anywhere near a court or even the FBI - they simply couldn't take the risk

I also agree with whoever said above that there should be an inquiry into how he amassed a fortune while acting as a trade ambassador

See above about the risk involved, and remember that shining a light on the finances of one would risk a push for others being looked into too
The RF haven't removed themselves from the reach of the FoI Act for no reason

@ChiefInspectorParker

I have never seen that before, the RF have to capitalise on William, he comes across as really cool and relaxed in that video.. I usually would be very critical of how stiff and formal they come across.

The PR machine needs to get working pronto, on raising Williams profile by showing him as a more spontaneous and carefree personality.

artquejtion · 16/05/2021 14:35

They need to get William out there, doing interviews maybe with Zara and Mike Tindall, they seem like good fun !

I wonder would Oprah do a special with them?

GlencoraP · 16/05/2021 14:41

I must say that I am very shocked they have linked up with P&G given their reputation and the numerous boycotts. It’s analogous with Nestle or Barclays in the 1990s.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 16/05/2021 14:42

artquejtion is it really likely that William would do anything with Oprah after what she's facilitated?

I'm not sure she'd want him anyway; granted there'd be a certain cachet in getting "the next king but one" but what's the point if he did his usual tight-lipped thing and didn't spill any juicy details?

Said tongue in cheek, I agree with you, Oprah needs the exposè.

Ah - apologies, artquejtion, I missed that one!! Blush

@Blossomtoes I don't think Harry needs to be saying scandalous stuff about royal life or royal people to be interesting, I think people are interested in the minutiae. What opinion royals have on each other, on heads of state and VIPs, the family dynamic in the Cambridge home, what Princess Charlotte had a tantrum about etc etc

StartupRepair · 16/05/2021 15:23

Next step in that path is Harry himself becoming a Paul Burrell type royal expert. Also a path tried by the Duke of Windsor.

PinkTonic · 16/05/2021 15:26

People with Vitiligo, a medical condition, use skin whitening creams. And with other skin conditions. It can even be gotten on a script. It's a valid medicine.

Yeah, I don’t think P&G sell medicines, their Olay skin whitening creams are more cosmetic. Good try though. I understand there are also some issues around deforestation in Canada and treatment of palm oil producers that are under scrutiny. Oh dear.

I don’t think most people give a stuff about those things - and the minority who do are royalists so not Harry’s target audience. It appears to be republicans who fawn over him under the illusion that he’s damaging the monarchy.

Now we know what people mean when they describe someone as "the kind who'd sell his own grandmother".

I think he will be at that level very soon if he can’t keep the RF out of his interviews and podcasts. I doubt he has any real idea of what’s currently going on there now anyway.

@PinkTonic Skin whitening creams prescribed by doctors are cosmetic. Having discolouration splotches all over yourself can be quite distressing, so it's all really 'cosmetic', it's not necessary per se, except mentally to make the patient feel better about themselves. So, no nice try.
GlencoraP · 16/05/2021 15:53

P&G market creams which ‘inhibit melanin formation in the skin’ and create ‘radiant snd brighter skin’ . The Olay Natural White cream is advertised in Nigeria as creating a ‘pinkish fairness’.

Theses are cosmetic creams which imply that whiteness is a desirable characteristic , how can that be comparable with the views which they claim to espouse regarding racism.

Surely they would do due diligence on any company before signing a deal . To be honest this is far more serious than criticism of his family and as far as I am concerned is indefensible .

So why aren’t they prescription only? There’s no need for them to be available over the counter.

There’s no mention of topical skin lightening creams being used, incidentally. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo

GlencoraP · 16/05/2021 15:58

I have lived in countries where these products are marketed. They are marketed to the general population and are not in anyway aimed at people with vitiligo. Their use is often linked to marriage prospects so hardly comparable with their championing of young women’s rights either .

GlencoraP · 16/05/2021 15:59

Sorry that should say compatible not comparable

Puzzledandpissedoff · 16/05/2021 16:06

I don't suppose he does. I might not have any admiration for the RF, but would you risk telling H&M whatever's going on and risk it all being regurgitated by Gayle King and the like?

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 16/05/2021 16:08

Going back to the question posed earlier about what Diana would think about it all, I do feel that it’s possible to say with some certainty that she would not have been happy with post-marriage developments in Harry’s life.

There is a tape recording in which Diana talks about a conversation with her stepmother Raine:

She said, ‘You don't know how much we've suffered because of Frances [Diana’s mother].’ I said, ‘Suffering, Raine? You don't know the word. I see suffering of such magnitude in my role that you would never even understand.’ I really spat it out at her.

She would have counselled Harry against talking about his own problems at the end of the African tour. Of course she would have been sympathetic but would have definitely let him know that the troubles of privileged people should not be brought up in those circumstances.

Actually, I don’t think she would have liked him talking of such private matters, whatever the context. Though she was indiscreet herself and did her own infamous tell-all interview, she came to feel ambivalent about her decision to do it, particularly in light of the negative effect it had on William. Knowing from personal experience the unanticipated heartache that can be caused to those you love most, I think she would have told Harry not to go public with his grievances.

The3rdMrsdeWinter · 16/05/2021 16:13

Thank you for that excerpt from The Times @nevertrustahetdofcows - I particularly like this

William has always been able to see the bigger picture – and set about a very practical pursuit of happiness from a young age

A wise man, I'm sure his story of how he pursued and found happiness would be more interesting that Harry's account of how happiness has eluded him.

Mmmmdanone · 16/05/2021 16:22

I haven't read all comments so sorry if this has been said, but if Harry despised the RF so much I wonder why he didn't leave it before finding a wife? He seems to have used Meghan as much as she has used him to be honest.
