Is there anything new to say?

Harry is very angry, not sad. He put a proposition to the Monarch herself, she said No, “ You can’t be half in half out” End of. Then, she stripped him of his royal awards and army uniform.
She wasn’t sitting in any corner. She was Head of state. Now Harry is blaming everyone off because It was the Queen who did this to him, just as she did with her own son.

You're welcome. If MNHQ would let me I could deploy a bot on a thread to demonstrate it!

Say I want to promote Z-lister Binky le Grande. I would pre-load the programme (which would be a freebie I'd grabbed online) with statements and answers, such as 'Binky is amazing and hard working. I really admire her work with her charities'. 'Binky is awesome. She works so hard. She supports charities and I really look up to her'.

The programme learns from the other content on the thread and starts to repeat it, 'intelligently', and/or I add to it manually from my laptop while watching Emmerdale and getting distracted. I'd maybe programme my BinkyFanBot to respond to certain trigger words, or to post at certain times of the day. That's why bots tend to have a repetitive nature about them and can veer into bizarre gobbledygook until course-corrected, unless they are very sophisticated which is time-consuming.

I feel sorry for Diana's mother. I always feel she got bad press.
Apparently as @cyclamenqueen states above, it was an abusive marriage.
In those days, a male aristocrat had so much power. He was also supported by his mil against his wife.
Diana's 2 older sisters have never spoken publicly, to my knowledge, of their childhood and what happened re their mother.

Once again warmest thanks, @AutumnCrow - I really do wish that others who profess themselves "IT trainers" explained things like this, but usually I'm lost by about the second sentence whereas I understand yours clearly

One of the main points I hadn't realised is that, rather than always having to "press a button", these things could be set up to post automatically ... seems a bit weird to me, but there you go

I'm not going to assume anything about odd sounding posts since I still don 't have enough background for that, but at least I'll now know what all the talk of bots means so very many thanks again

And neither did Charlie Spencer stand by his promise that the princes' " blood family" would care for them. He did sweet F.A!!

Charles has really been very clever in inviting them to the Coronation. It immediately makes him look kind and forgiving. It leaves Harry and Meghan with a very difficult decision. Decline invitation - rejection of olive branch, admission no longer 'Royal' and no publicity or photographs. Removed from the picture at the Royal event of the year. Persona non grata. Also doesn't sit well with the repeated line that the Royals refuse to reconcile.

Accept the invite. As a Royal Duke, Harry has get all the dress up on and physically kneel to the King and swear his allegiance. Individually. Really??? Taking the knee to the King and the racist organisation he is head off. This takes on greater symbolism with the taking of the knee for BLM and football against racism etc.

The only other option would be to renounce their own titles so he doesn't have to do that and attend as family members - like Zara and Mike Tindall etc.

So clever of Charles to turn this decision to them.

You’ve forgotten the magazine interviews, podcasts, speaker engagements and awards ceremonies….

Charles is Harry's Dad and Harry's children's Grandad he will always be Dad and Grandad of course he's going to invite this son and his sons family to the coronation.

Despite Charles S (and Diana) speaking of the sadness they felt when their parents split up, is he on marriage No. 3 plus other partners in between and 7 children from these 3 marriages ?

Diana's uncle, his mother's brother, Lord Fermoy sadly took his own life at 45 in 1984.

For me, the wording doesn't sit right!

"I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back"

That makes it all the more disgusting that the Royal family exploited her. I think Archie and Lillibet are best kept away.

My brothers have done the same thing. Not on Netflix and Oprah, obvs. But total breakdown of trust. They will never speak again, I fear. We also lost our mother when we were children. There’s so much in mother loss and the failure of helping young people deal with it. Whether you’re royal or ‘ordinary’, it breaks families if not dealt with well.

No, and I don't think he stood by Diana when she was alive either. I get bad vibes all round from him.
I think King Charles is actually likely a far kinder person than CS. I hope they cam get back on track, privately. William - I don't think that will happen, he gives off fairly unforgiving vibes to me.

Exactly! They are such massive hypocrites

I do not believe she hosted that event.

But she did hand pick him to be the presenter at her Camillas Daily Living Guest Editorial dinner last summer.

Sorry, it was the ITV special, not dinner.

I dont think bowing to King Charles should have been a big deal for Harry - if he found it humiliating then he only needs to check in with himself. He spent his whole life bowing to his grumpy Granny, falling in rank and order behind the line of succession and bowing to his father like every other member of his family. He did have the choice not to be there of course - he could have stayed away as an independent adult living in peace and harmony with his wife and children.

Hay is sadly as damaged as his mother. He's like someone trapped in his first session of therapy - blaming his parents for everything. He needs to move on to the next stage of self awareness recognising his own agency and choices in life and lending an example to his children. It's far better to show them how to live with humility and purpose and how to make a positive difference through hard work. Not living his life as a victim and leech thinking the world owes him a living. Hello! There are many people struggling to feed and clothe their children not worrying about the titles their children get. It's outrageous and tone deaf.

I can’t understand why anyone would consider there was any alternative considered given previous precedent of inclusion at PP funeral, PJ and HMQ funeral - all of which were after the OW interview.

Many people have problematic family relationships - if at least one side chooses dignity and not to fuel it - it keeps a door open for later down the road.

I doubt they are too worried about what he will say. These media storms are tomorrows chip paper soon enough but family is for the long haul.

I expect PH is feeling a mix of emotions from hurt, rage, frustration, loss and loneliness with regards to his DF and DB - and these feelings will be amplified by their silence and disconnection as well as the unresolved grief for his mother which often expresses itself again when we have our own children.

To be fair he seemed just fine before he met Meghan

I agree.

In the footage of HMTQ’s funeral, Harry and Meghan didn’t appear to be singing “God Save The King”, so it will be interesting to see what happens. It’s possible that Meghan still didn’t know the words 🤔, but Harry had no excuse.

Are you sure Harry didn't sing the national anthem?

I find it sad that Harry is undermining the monarchy but he is his mother's son as he repeatedly stated in the Netflix programme and obviously holds a massive grudge.

It's embarrassing, rather than publicly airing his dirty linen, he should move forward with love and humility. He's rich beyond imagination, he has only ever been the spare so nothing new here. He's still a million times better off than the majority of people on this planet. He will be remembered as a Sir Spoilt Whingebag.

I thought that too capri and that was when any sympathy left me. At best he looked unenthusiastic. He certainly didn’t sing much of it.

I was too busy looking at him than looking at Meghan so I didn’t notice if she sang or no. Probably another thing he didn’t prepare her for.

It's a shame that yet another royal event means that the focus will be on H&M and how they interact with everyone else, if they do go.

I’m still forgetting and singing Quing.
