What the hell is his end goal?

So Harry is worried about security and yet has written in his book that he’s killed 25 Talibans.
He is dangerous. He is dangerous to the UK, to his family and to himself
He seems intent to be stirring up hatred.
I am so glad that HM The Queen isn’t seeing this 🥹 All her years of service being trashed by someone she loved so much

Why don't H & M just live quiet nice lives with their family in the beautiful home in the sun?

People are just taking tiny snippets to make headlines because it was leaked (and translated). No one can know the context until they read it in it's entirety. I don't see it any different than anyone else's memoir. I get people think it should be different because of the RF but clearly he does not and that's the whole point. They (mostly M) have been vilified for years. I'd imagine anyone would get sick of it.

It does annoy me how many people think they know how the Queen felt and how it 'ruined her last year'. No one has any idea what she thought or felt.

I'm sure she would have loved it, once she's read it in it's entirety.

What's not to like? Mounting an older woman behind the pub, dog bowl landing, shopping in Ikea, killing.

I don’t think he has an end goal. I think this is all coming from Meghan.

Menomenon · 06/01/2023 12:21

I thought he was a nice guy, maybe under pressure and letting off steam.

But now I think he is a dick. What grown man complains about his brother having a bigger bedroom on childhood holidays? Has it escaped him that they were both staying in fucking castles?

Bobbins36 · 06/01/2023 12:25

Think he thinks he can hold RF to ransom and they’ll capitulate to ensure his attendance at coronation, they’ll welcome him back on his half in half out terms and they can cash in while doing minimal actual royal stuff. Unlikely.

An invitation will be extended with no special accommodations made for him, he’ll have a tantrum about this claiming they haven’t reached out to resolve anything so effectively making him unwelcome and he’ll bleat on about security, despite having painted a giant target on his own back by yabbering on about how many Taliban he’s killed.

pornyshroudofturin · 06/01/2023 12:27

Am guessing this will put an end to the rumours that Meghan's end goal is running for office in the USA? Surely she couldn't after all these revelations- way too much ammo for any opposition candidate.

BabyHettie · 06/01/2023 12:40

Harry hasn't just painted a target on the Sussex' back, but also on his whole extended family, Charles, William, and the Wales kids, possibly even Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrices' families. The Taliban are tribal and will want to avenge by targeting Harry's kin. This one comment will make the Coronation less safe for all. He's playing with fire, or maybe he feels like a man who has nothing to lose.

The Lipgloss thing.

If your a future queen, and someone asks to borrow your lipgloss- surely you just give it to them and tell them to keep it if you're worried about germs.

It's not like she can't afford more than one lipgloss Confused

I share makeup with my sister all the time, it's a bonding thing for a lot of women.

If Kate was being awkward about it then that's on her. I don't see anything wrong with asking a sister in law to borrow a lipgloss, especially when you're about to be on television and you might really need one.

Meghan sounds like a lot- but Kate doesn't appear to have made much effort to welcome her or adapt her own behaviour to make Meghan feel more at home. That could have been a nice moment for them. Kate made it weird instead.

2bazookas · 06/01/2023 12:45

The stories are getting too fantastical.

I'm beginning to suspect this is a total charade, the "Spanish edition" is a total fake, planted by M and H as a publicity stunt to boost sales

They'll probably accuse K +W of being the authors.

She wasn't her sister in law at the time, but I don't think that really matters.

Some women don't like sharing make up with anyone. I don't. I certainly don't think it's a 'bonding thing', whatever that means outside of naff day time TV dramas. I think it's unhygienic. I have my doubts that this 'incident' even happened as described, but I think it's more of the same trying to portray Kate as a cold uptight English woman and Meghan as this laid back Cali girl. Hey, don't you know she goes barefoot and wears ripped jeans when meeting her future royal in laws?

More to the point, why on earth do anyone of us need to know about this?

Unless she's taking Trump as a role model; his following shows that to US voters, there's no such thing as bad publicity and no lie so outrageous it won't be believed. Then play the victim, up the blame game.....

BethDuttonsTwin · 06/01/2023 12:52

My teenage dd won’t share lip balm with me either. Won’t even squeeze a bit onto my finger so that my lip doesn’t come into contact with the applicator. Maybe I should write a book moaning about it too?

It is an annoying, American bonding thing to borrow lipstick. My aunt used to ask my mum every time she visited from the States. My mum hated it and would offer to give it away to her straight afterwards.
I never understood why until I found out about BJs and cold sores much further down the line. Breuggggh

No it's not.

StarsSand · 06/01/2023 13:10

@IcedPurple

I get the hygiene aspect. But wouldn't you just lend it to her as a gesture and then either give it to her or throw it in the bin when you got home? Especially when you have wealth beyond most peoples comprehension- the idea of getting uptight over a Nars product is a bit silly IMO.

If it was my SIL or future SIL, I'd be extending myself to make her feel at home. Not making her feel awkward for a harmless request or exacerbating her culture shock.

And if my boyfriends brother was coming to my home to meet me, they would find me barefoot and in whatever I felt comfortable wearing. Should she have run to the closet for a ball gown and gloves? What are you supposed to wear? I would assume that they'd rather be treated the same as everyone else in a purely social setting, because, frankly, unless they were kind of a dickhead- that's what they would want.

Its most definitely not a bonding thing to share makeup! Its more a dirty, unhygienic thing 🤮

I’ve just read the extract about when he was told his mum had had an accident. It’s heartbreaking. His dad didn’t even hug him and he was left alone in his room for hours until 9 o’clock in the morning. He wants everyone to know this and I don’t blame him. The royals need a shake up, and he’s ensuring it.

But if you see Charles now he is very touchy feely , and we are only hearing Harry’s side. Obviously his therapist can’t be very good can they ?

my point is lots of people have lots of terrible things that happen in their life. A girl I know lost both her parents by the time she was 12 . And she did not have all the wealth and support at her fingertips and no one to hug her. But she is not bitter or selling her story for millions .

Surely the person getting 'uptight' is the one who chose to feature it in his book?

Who really cares about a lip gloss 'incident' from nearly 5 years ago? Especially as he presumably didn't 'witness' it and is going by his wife's version, which you seem to believe without question.

I have never in my life had someone ask to use my make up and I'd be a bit taken aback if they did, especially if it was someone I barely knew, as was the case with Meghan and Kate at the time. Again I ask, what is to be gained about sharing this non event with the world?

Anniefrenchfry · 06/01/2023 13:17

The Taliban have all responded today and not in a pleasant manner. Which is to be expected.

i really can’t understand the stupidity of what he’s done. Everything else is petty noise. The Taliban comments are unacceptable, particularly as he refers to the people as chess pieces. Showing an utter lack of respect for human life and war is atrocious.

Double standards! So Kate should overcome her disgust of sharing her lipstick (so weird to even ask, who does that 😱) and accommodate Meghan while Meghan is free to do whatever suits her e.g. walk around barefoot with ripped jeans when she is receiving guest who happen to be the future king and queen? You can't have it both ways. Why does Meghan get to have it her way but Kate's not supposed to assert her preferences?

bakalava · 06/01/2023 13:20

What happened to Kate's rights as a woman to freely choose and not be attacked five years later?

Cornettoninja · 06/01/2023 13:23

But wouldn't you just lend it to her as a gesture

but KM did lend it to her, that’s what Harry wrote. He then embellished it by saying she had a look of disgust on her face completely ignoring the fact that she did lend it in spite of her reservations.

SilentNightDancer · 06/01/2023 13:23

If you're about to go on TV, I would have thought the make up dept would have been an obvious source of lip gloss.

That's one of the reasons I don't think this 'incident' happened, at least not as described. Meghan was an actress. Surely, as you say, the make up dept would have been the most obvious place to satisfy her lip gloss needs.

Depends on whether or not you're constructing an evidence trail of being badly treated to justify leaving, doesn't it?

moose62 · 06/01/2023 13:27

Harry's end game is to ruin the monarchy. He loathes William, is insanely jealous that William was born first and is like a toddler screaming 'it's not fair'. Such a shame that a man brought up with the benefits and riches that he has can't just stop whining. It is not as though he excelled at school, regardless of the vast fees, although the army suited him and perhaps he should have stuck at that. He has now become ridiculous!
