Well Harry is looking quite good. Suntanned and healthy. The glow of new parent perhaps. Just seen his video on Diana awards and he looked so happy when visiting Wellchild too.

I'm sure his charities were happy to keep in touch with him.

The whole OW interview was fueled by Harry’s anger, recollection may vary is a correct description.

I too do wonder what will become of them when Charles is king ? Just how will they monetise that for their American fans?

'Neither do we know what Meghan said or did, so it's daft to say we do. '

True. We don't know much really do we, but what the Sussexes tell us has proven to be untrue so their credibility is incredibly shaky. Let's recap. 'Being cut off financially' despite being given a massive lump sum to tide them over until Netfix took over bankrolling them, getting married in their back yard 3 days before the 'spectacle' of their wedding except they didn't (as confirmed by the Archbishop), telling us how amazeballs everyone has been then 3 years later saying actually everyone had been absolutely awful, saying unfair scrutiny is awful then subjecting his whole family to just that.

So we may not know all that they said and did but what we have seen them say and do does not hold up to the most basic of scrutiny accuracy wise.

I hope they don't come back for the jubilee. The whole thing will be ruined if they do. Why would they even want to when they think the whole set up is toxic.

Oo careful this is hypothetical as discussed upthread so may be frowned upon for some reason. My hypothetical answer was they would then reach out and forgive him as his status would then become useful to them.

Speculative and hypothetical just to be clear.

“If it was "Harry, if you want your children to be raised in the same social circles you grew up in, you should consider that a dark-skinned wife and children may not be fully accepted by many in those circles," then I think that's a different thing”

This is utterly racist and unacceptable. It doesn’t matter if you are “objecting on the basis of a person’s skin colour” on behalf of yourself, neighbours, God or anyone else.

This is so offensive that I cannot believe that you think it is ok!

Gorgeouslilgirl · 09/07/2021 13:31

It seems there are. A lot of prejudiced people everywhere. Certainly on mumsnet. Especially the ones who think people of colour are liars, socially “below” others and the like.

Quite embarrassing really, that there is so much of backward, primitive, uneducated and tribal thinking in 2021

That's purely a matter of opinion.

Bit dramatic. I doubt they have any interest in coming back. They're the ones who told the RF to F off and walked off into the sunset; it's the RF who are obsessed with them and can't let them go.

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 14:04

So why don’t they relinquish their titles if they have told the RF to F off

Roussette · 09/07/2021 14:08

Why doesn't Andrew? He isn't a working member of the RF.

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 14:09

and all the fuss about Archie having no Prince title

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 14:11

Andrew hasn’t told the RF to F off. Very different.

queenofarles · 09/07/2021 14:15

Gorgeouslilgirl to be fair lots have thought , and just rags like DM, Catherine socially unacceptable choice for a future Queen. She did suffer lots of taunts and bullying.

Roussette · 09/07/2021 14:27

Sally Yes, very different indeed. He's just putting off speaking to the US justice system about an upcoming court case for a friend of his who is being charged with procurement of young girls for sex.

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 14:54

Rousette. Rainy clearly implied they wanted nothing to do with the RF so hence the comment. This has nothing to do with Andrew and any change to his title will be in response to a different set of circumstances.
At the moment, Harry treats the RF as abusive and toxic. I have sadly known women escape abusive marriages and ditching the abusive marriage name was high on their leaving list.

Roussette · 09/07/2021 14:59

No, he gave an interview, that's all. He never used the words 'abusive' or 'toxic'. He walked away from an untenable situation with the woman he has chosen to be his wife.

Andrew is another non working member of the RF so it has everything to do with him if we're talking titles and giving them up.

PearlNextDoor · 09/07/2021 15:08

I dont think they want to start precedence of stripping royals of their titles just because they're inpopular.
They should be able to disallow usage of titles though. Bit stronger than asking them nicely not to use them

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 15:10

In his Dax Shepherd interview he talked about the pain and suffering passed in by his father and his wish to break the cycle. I would suggest that, together with accusing the RF of racism, ignoring mental suffering etc, that counts as saying your family is toxic.

Roussette · 09/07/2021 15:12

I agree Pearl about not stripping of titles, but even 'disallowing' hasn't happened with Sarah Ferguson who has used her title incessantly for 20 years.

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 15:13

It is quite noticeable that the moment their titles is brought up certain posters MUST mention the A word as deflection. Is the fact that H&M are hypocrites so unpalatable?

PearlNextDoor · 09/07/2021 15:13

Has she? I thought she was just Sarah Ferguson now.

Roussette · 09/07/2021 15:15

Charles said the same in his Dimbleby interview. In fact he was far far more scathing about how he was parented by Queen and PP.

SallyLockheart · 09/07/2021 15:16

She is Sarah. Duchess of York. Divorced duchess title, I understand

Roussette · 09/07/2021 15:17

Has she? I thought she was just Sarah Ferguson now

No. She uses it regularly.
Her last book a year ago, a Mills & Boon type book, has Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York on the front of it.

I don't know where to begin with this post. If you wish to direct it at me, do feel free to say my name, I'm a big girl I can cope with it. I presume I am 'a certain poster' as I brought up Andrew, there's no need to talk about me like I'm not here lol

And I will continue to bring up Andrew when posters bang on about stripping H&M of their titles.

I don't think they are hypocrites, no.
