This is not someone coming forward to the police or social services, it's an accusation being made in a profit making and career enhancing enterprise

You either take accusations seriously or you don’t.

Laughable given all the serious and evidenced allegations that Meghan bullied staff are routinely dismissed by many many posters.

On the BBC they included a pic of him in South Africa with Meghan wearing a black necklace - hippy dippy type thing you might buy on a beach in Bali.

Thank god. I have been terribly worred about what the necklace thinks of it all.

I look forward to the necklace doing a tearful interview with Tom Bradby, and a tell-all book.

Am I right in thinking that the pre-orders of the book have been much lower than Macmillan had been forecasting for in their budgets? I bet they'll be a lot higher after this tantalising and terifying tale of the thrilla in Manila.

This was a strategic leak by the publisher or my name's not potniatheron.

If Harry’s so miserable about being ‘the spare’ then surely all he has to do is renounce his titles and his place in line to the throne and bugger off into the sunset and anonymous oblivion
Clearly he won’t because everything he does or says is money-driven and he’d hate to be out of the spotlight.
🤬

(& yes I’m counting eton as “ordinary “ inasmuch as they have a very large scholarship cohort / full bursaries and a lot of overseas students of various nationalities). He has emphatically not been exclusively around white upper class people.

What absolute nonsense. Eton is not normal.

Bestcatmum · 05/01/2023 10:12

Has Harry had a hair transplant, he's suddenly got a lot more hair.

BradfordGirl · 05/01/2023 10:12

@Serenster You are right. About 70 people attend the Royal Family Christmas lunch for the extended family. It is a big family gathering.

Does anyone else think the bullying report might be leaked soon ?

No I don't think so. The RF will be dealing with this differently, they don't want the media attention on Meghan bullying, it will just give this ridiculous pair more oxygen, which the will cash in on.

The RF needs to grey rock them, keep a very close eye on Harold and this kids to make sure nothing happens to them and they are coping.

Harold has lost the plot and needs saving from himself. Meghan will stay with him until the kids are teens, then it's anyone's guess.

They will come up with some sort of arrangement and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of the Sussexes in the Uk, not less.

Hey they let in some foreigners you know. Its as ordinary as your local comprehensive then.

😂😂😂

😆😆😆That is my reaction too.
The. scene is ludicrous..Harry being.chased into the kitchen, the glass of water, the necklace,.the dog bowl -oh, the dog bowl!
This is an embellished account of something trivial that might have happened. Perhaps a pushing past, a slip, a fall -Harry is a ludicrous creature who can't even invent a scary DV scene.

The fact that W&H were heads of a mental health charity yet both seemingly denied a family any mental health treatment is so strange that its almost unbelieveable.

And not just "a family member", his own wife!!

This is what I thought, at the time. Harry had already publicly said he had had therapy, and they were patrons (or at least involved - and vocal about ) of Heads together. The fact that she was pregnant meant the Palace could potentially have issued a vague statement that she was going into hospital for "routine health checks/assessment/health issues" or "feeling unwell". Several celebrities have used the Portland hospital so I'm sure they're used to discretion and privacy (and would have access to therapists)

Remember how vague all the statements have been about the Queen herself in the last few years of her life? (a head cold, "mobility issues" etc. Even when she was blatantly on her death bed there were phrases that covered it without actually saying it!!

Maybe she did, maybe she did not. But the evidence is exactly the same as the level of evidence that William physically attacked Harry.
Its all she said he said stuff.
There is no evidence except who do you believe.

PeekAtYou · 05/01/2023 10:16

The more interesting bit is William thinking Meghan is rude and abrasive behind close doors

So M thought that W&C were cold when they first met and W thought that M was abrasive. Another hint that cultural differences (something never mentioned by the pair) were a factor for the later problems. I said "the pair" because W&C haven't publicly commented on the feud. Quite extraordinary that someone who was a working royal (so meeting people from different countries tries) and another who had some embassy experience might not think that cultural differences were an issue. If that had been an argument at the Oprah interview they would have had lots of viewers nodding in agreement.

No evidence- well that applies to a lot of crimes including domestic incidents. What kind of evidence do you want??

And because you don't like Harry, you now have decided that he's lying? It's more than likely true, albeit his version of what happened. Pretty big thing to lie about.

"you now have decided that he's lying? It's more than likely true, albeit his version of what happened. Pretty big thing to lie about."

Like lying that the Archbishop of Canterbury secretly married them in a garden and then committed fraud by lying on a legal document when signing at the actual wedding?

Someone with a history of lying on a topic is never considered "likely" to be telling the truth. Particularly when they have been given financial incentives to make things up or exaggerate.

Tinkerbyebye · 05/01/2023 10:16

He is fast becoming a big spoilt petulant child, stomping his feet because he wants everything his way ( or Meghan way)

I had high hopes when they married, soon dashed with her expensive baby shower and her strops she wouldn’t be top dog

Every time the peddle their story ( and it was only going to be once!) they lie, they can’t even remember how they met! But they brazenly carry on. Now the book, brothers fight, and sorry as someone who has been in the army I am pretty sure Harry can handle himself so all this talk about being scared sounds off.

They wanted the best of both worlds, to be royal and all that meant, titles etc and to be commercially driven to make money trading on that. It couldn’t happen and they are very bitter about that.

Harry is mad if he thinks he will get his wish about reconciliation after the book is published, although they won’t need to apologise for their behaviour in trashing the family!

I, and a lot of others, would be very happy to never see either of them again. I understand Charles wanting to keep the door open, but every opportunity to meet and reconcile has been thrown back.

Personally I am not sure this marriage will last, and Megs will be setting her sights elsewhere, her history being to use and dump

100%

ThighMistress · 05/01/2023 10:17

I have no doubt that if it were William who’d landed in the dog bowl The Supporters would have been crowing and crying with laughter.

Being holier than thou about domestic violence is horrendously insulting as a defence for Harry’s spilling some family dirt for money .

BradfordGirl · 05/01/2023 10:17

"The fact that W&H were heads of a mental health charity yet both seemingly denied a family any mental health treatment is so strange that its almost unbelieveable."

This would not surprise me at all. Lots of celebrities have jumped on the bandwagon of mental health for publicity but do things in their own life that show they have zero understanding or commitment to the issues. Its all PR.

🤬

I think it's more than just being the spare. Diana herself said that Harry was treated as less than by the whole family...that William was the one everyone fluttered around. She said she tried to make up for this and shower love on him. Then she was killed....his mother. The one person in his life who showed him unconditional love.

Being in the shadow of a favour end sibling is ALWAYS hard...it can fuck you up. It can seriously fuck you up! Can you imagine what it must have been like in the RF and then your mother dies, the one person who didn't favour the other child, dies suddenly?

And when you go through child trauma, it can be lifelong and you make decisions and behave in a way that isn't necessarily rational.

I have sympathy for Harry, no matter how 'privileged' he is, materially.

Vera99 - "If true then that's physical assault - there is never a reason ever to hit someone like that except in self defence. Indeed you can easily kill someone or produce lasting brain damage"

True. But would anyone be able to tell?
Harry is supposed to be a fully trained ex soldier. But his brother can just grab him by the necklace and chuck him on the floor?
Who had to clean up the broken dog bowl mess? Was Meghan rude to them? Yet again, so many vital questions left unanswered.....Grin

Whatever your "side" following the death of the late Queen we are witnessing the Fall of the House of Windor. Charles and William should renouce the Crown and retire to a life of privileged obscurity for their own mental health as much as anything.

Don't be daft.

This will be forgotten in a few years.

Just like Harry himself.

In true MN style I want pictures and diagram, or it didn't happen.

I’ve been skim reading, but someone posted a pic of the kitchen in Nottingham Cottage.

Dog bowls included!

Judging by the size of it - wouldn’t you think that if you were knocked to the floor (I also notice there was no mention of a punch), then the chances are you would actually of have also had a big knock to your head.

I think Harry missed the opportunity to have an extra dig there.

Shame he didn’t think things through properly.

TinyChancer · 05/01/2023 10:20

Seeing as H&M have photographed and filmed everything about themselves for the past few years, where's the photos of the dog bowl injuries / broken shards?

I smell bullshit.

I am not a supporter.
I would be criticising people who would crow with laughter if William was physically attacked. Violence is never okay.
