“””Totally agree. This is an echo chamber and no point in coming on here @Maximinimalist because all posters can do is launch personal attacks and ridicule anyone who doesn't agree with them.”””

But in fact this contradicts the echo chamber theory - you have a different view
You are simply in the minority- nothing dramatic

And I haven't written anything about H&M. My view is different but I'm not going there because I can see the way this thread is.

I have commented on someone registering a copy of my name. And commented on someone who disagrees with the majority being called a 'bot'.

Yes. Seems like I have a No.1 fan. I'm flattered!

To have a real live copycat is really quite something, how satisfying to make such an impact, I think I must be an influencer! 🤣😂

🤣 I agree, you've made it! Your time on these boards haven't been in vain. Next is to start collecting your influencer cheques.😆

MarshaBradyo · 03/01/2023 09:18

I haven’t watched the series and wouldn’t say I‘ve been too fussed other than finding reactions amusing on here, but another interview along the lines in the op doesn’t endear me to them, the opposite.

So if public mood shifts and that’s not wanted then maybe move on and do something else for £

JoyPeaceSleep · 03/01/2023 09:21

@Serenster wow, when you set it out like that........... it makes me wonder what do they want, which is what that royal correspondent Jenni Bond was asking yesterday. I have one question which I hope the book will answer, and it is simply is Harry in therapy currently. He should be, but for all his talk about mental health I do not think he is. I've said this on here before but my therapist advised me against sending a letter to my parents on the basis that it would cause a backlash that I've have to deal with which would distract from healing the wound. I think that is hard-to-follow-but-good advice and so I just find it so hard to believe that Harry is checking in with a therapist on a weekly basis. He really needs to be but is he? I know he has had therapy in the past, he can afford to keep going.

Creepinglight · 03/01/2023 09:22

I actually think Harry expresses it very well when he says he wants to be in a family not an institution.
I think he is massively fucked up and massively traumatised and he has correctly identified where that stems from.

Yes he is publicly self destructing, but by God I feel sorry for him.

And I find the harshness and judgement from people on here who clearly have no understanding, and no desire to understand, how damaging he has found the dynamic and life he was born into, rather unedifying.

@ the original Rousette, FWIW, I wasn't being sarcastic here; I'm laughing with you and not at you.😊

I know upon reading it, it could be interpreted either way so I wanted to make it clear. You don't deserve to be mocked but I do find your no 1 fan hilarious for doing that. 🤣🤣

Jackiewoo · 03/01/2023 09:29

Enjoy your echo chamber here. There is a bigger world out there. I’ll follow Harry’s and Meghan’s approach. Accept the mumsnet crowd is a lost cause and let them entertain themselves with their hatred.

Grin comedy gold. We're all just individuals posting our own thoughts. Why do some posters brand any disagreement as 'hatred'? Its baffling. I don't 'hate' anyone, H&M aren't hated particularly they're just fucking hypocritical and tiresome. What right thinking adult wants to follow that example?

Still Harry and Meghan thrive. Still they rise. If by rising you mean falling flat on their arse. Why are they incapable of moving forward? Why don't they stop complaining and do something positive? And why do they always look so fucking miserable? If they're so busy thriving and rising, why is Harry now moaning about wanting his daddy and brother 'back'?

These two seem caught in a fabricated drama all of their own making, their next move is complaining they want apologies from the people they have lashed out at. More complaining. Its laughable and so childish I'm not surprised the rest of the family are giving it a giant swerve. They've probably been dealing with his bullshit for decades only now Harry is outside the institution we're finally all seeing what they've had to put up with.

What you are doing is going against TG. You cannot call a poster a bot just because @Maximinimalist doesn't agree with you.
She has posted on other threads not connected with M&H.

Someone talked elsewhere about anti H&M posters being hounded off of threads. This is what you are doing on here.

@Roussette genuinely not trying to hound anyone. There are lots of posters I don’t agree with and differing views is what makes threads interesting. You’re right though that I should report rather than comment. I do think bots are an issue, and I doubt Mumsnet is immune.

JoyPeaceSleep · 03/01/2023 09:37

@Jackiewoo I agree, that was comedy gold indeed. Why wouldn't the public /posters on mn have a reaction to their interviews, netflix series, podcasts, book.......... It's not realistic to think that we should all sit back and have no reaction, no comment.

And an analysis is not automatically ''hate'' which is what some posters on here want to boil it down to. It's so polarised and basic, if you have any opinion at all on all of this, you're a hater in an echo chamber. I'm willing H&M to have an epiphany tbh but in the meantime, the endless material they put out does form an impression..

@SighsTheNewWord I know, no worries!

I just find it bizarre that someone could even think like this! I'm just another random on t'internet. Yet feeling they want to do this is really peculiar!

If they want to copy my name to ridicule H&M, there's not a lot I can do about it

I'm the one and only original! It's a bit like some market sungasses my friend bought years ago... RayBerry 🤣

Of course. And thanks for clarifying. I've been accused of being a paid shill and it rankles. And there is a poster starting more than one thread about lots of posters being bots.
Just report if you have doubts! All the best. Smile

Ohnonevermind · 03/01/2023 09:41

Harry looks incapable of self reflection, and this is after having a great writer working with him, teasing out his idea and thoughts

He had put his wire on a pedestal but has now climbed up to join her.

susan12345678 · 03/01/2023 09:43

As many have said of Meghan, that she was right to cut her toxic father out of her life, as he wouldn’t stop talking to the press about her, the same applies to the Windsors here. The Sussexes are clearly toxic, and the family are best to entirely ignore them.

Agreed

SighsTheNewWord · 03/01/2023 09:45

It's as though someone called and someone else answered.😆

diddl · 03/01/2023 09:47

He has left the institution but you wouldn't know it!

He keeps attacking his family & has moved miles away-hardly the actions of someone who wants to be in said family!

BlackFriday · 03/01/2023 09:49

I find it quite astounding that Harry appears to be so arrogant and entitled to peddle the notion that, after attacking his family so publicly and humiliating them across the globe, he deserves an APOLOGY, ffs?
And now he's after the sympathy vote because they don't appear to want to reconcile? I notice he's waited until the cheque has cleared from Netflix before coming out with this demand.
Read the room, Harry.
I am so done with all this.

I sure am you think the Royal family are toxic?

Yes Rousette did a double take when i read what I thought was one if your posts. Didn't sound like you - and saw the name was slightly different. This is a crazy thread - bank holiday yesterday -maybe kids?!

Doubt it's kids but odd yes.

I seem to remember in the dim and distant past this happened to someone else and MN didn't take too kindly to it, hey ho

TrashyPanda · 03/01/2023 10:00

Still Harry and Meghan thrive. Still they rise

yeah, and he looks so happy,doesn’t he?

if his miserable face and petulent behaviour is that of someone thriving, I’d hate to see what he looks like when he is struggling.

Harry has never looked more depressed since he got together with Meghan.

I notice his book is out with the author name Prince Harry. The institution is clearly better than family when it comes to flogging tat

ArcaneWireless · 03/01/2023 10:06

Ach rousette even I raised an eyebrow at that new name!. 🤣

We sometimes hold different opinions on these threads. I don’t think it is an echo chamber though.

Different eyes see different things and I like reading different opinions. I am not sure I’ll ever be convinced that interviews and books are the way to go if he wants his family around him but you never know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

MarshaBradyo · 03/01/2023 10:10

I don’t think posters who feel differently re M&H should stop posting - just that atm many agree on this thread that they’re not winning people over.

I find the posts below too far fetched to get but there you go

ThighMistress · 03/01/2023 10:11

The hypocrisy is startling. His book should have been called “Just call me Harry”, no?

The half-in, half-out model mooted has been conveniently forgotten by supporters and thoroughly airbrushed out by H&M.

SighsTheNewWord · 03/01/2023 10:11

I have to agree. The happy-go-lucky, cheeky chap now seems to be melancholic and serious. Perhaps he's grown and changed; perhaps what's happened with his wife has affected him greatly; perhaps it's become all a bit much for him and he wishes he never started this to begin with.

I don't know but it's sad to watch the obvious trainwreck and I'm rooting for all of the family members to get along.
