The last quote from Charles at Prince Philip's funeral is so terribly sad. 'Please boys, don't make my last years a misery'.

It is actually but Charles is very Eeyore. He may have reminded them that in the end all they had were eachother.

Pretty much a fail there then Harry.

So very glad he didn’t come out first.

😂 😂 😂 😂

OMG it so is. LOL. we get so involved. Well I do.

It's hardly beyond the realms of believability that William might call him Harold now, is it?

I have a friend called Jamie, people try and call him James, and he rolls his eyes etc... So naturally I call him James to poke fun at him.

I've never heard Harry refer to William as Willy tbh. The only nickname I was aware of for William is Wombat

Bouledeneige · 05/01/2023 01:00

They will never ever forgive him for this. Maybe that's why he ran back after the funeral wanting to re-edit the book.

Can't see him at the coronation.

Squabbledee · 05/01/2023 01:01

There's more drama than Eastender's

Squabbledee · 05/01/2023 01:02

How terribly sad if he misses his father's coronation after this.

KloppsTeeth · 05/01/2023 01:02

No one knows them so can’t ever know if any of this is true or not. Siblings having arguments and even a bit of pushing and shoving is a story as old as time. They are not a normal family, both Harry and William had adverse childhood experiences, it is all very sad.

"Describing a confrontation at his London home in 2019, Harry says William called Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”, which Harry calls a “parrot[ing of] the press narrative” about his American wife."

How likely is it that William formed his impression of Meghan only from the newspapers rather than from actually knowing her as his sister-in-law?!

Boulshired · 05/01/2023 01:03

Can I believe this happened between two brothers- definitely Yes. Can I believe that Harry is now at the point he would say anything- definitely Yes. It’s just rather sad and definitely no coming back from this.

Blossomtoes · 05/01/2023 01:03

He’s totally cooked his goose with this. Stupid man.

PlinkPlonkFizz · 05/01/2023 01:03

It's all so undignified and grubby. I just don't understand how H thought this was going to garner sympathy or turn people against the RF. I just want the horrible dripfeed to stop

Yes, that was my first thought too.

SantaCarlaCalifornia · 05/01/2023 01:05

Can I believe it happened? Yes
Do I believe that is the whole story? Absolutely not.

JustMerkinYourChain · 05/01/2023 01:05

Wow, I actually didn't see this coming. So this was before the summit where he says William shouted at him and scared him? I thought it was strange he was scared then but perhaps this makes more sense of that - but again - yeah - the drip feeding of it isn't great. I wonder where Meghan would have been.

ArcaneWireless · 05/01/2023 01:05

William should go full Naboo on his arse and turn his back on him. Permanently.

And if the other royals have any sense, so should they.

Cannot get my head round this lot.

Wants his brother back, so accuses him of assault, to the entire world.

Nothing says "I want to reconcile" like a published accusation of assault, does it?

JamMakingWannaBe · 05/01/2023 01:06

This is the reason to buy cheap plastic dog bowls from B&M rather than expensive ceramic ones. They cause much less injury when you fall onto them.

Missing details - did the Winalot stain his trousers?

I want more info on the broken necklace too.

I know!

Even the die-hard pro H people in my life are disgusted

LadyVictoriaSponge · 05/01/2023 01:07

The thought of Harry’s arse in the dog bowl really made me laugh, please someone do a meme! It’s just so ungracious, couldn’t Harry have embellished it a bit more? He’s normally so good at porkies, they are royal for goodness sake! couldn’t he say they had drawn swords or had duel at dawn at the very least? Harry has made himself look a right wet drip and not from the water in the dog bowl.

ArcaneWireless · 05/01/2023 01:07

I imagine the pearls flew right under the kitchen cupboards.

Rachie1973 · 05/01/2023 01:07

Stop press. Siblings have a fight.

HeddaGarbled · 05/01/2023 01:08

I bet that was the bit Harry tried to get edited out later. It is pretty explosive and will be damaging to William even if it didn’t happen exactly as described. Oh dear.
