Does anyone else feel a bit uncomfortable with all this Harry stuff?

I don’t know why, but I do.

I don’t even know any of them personally. I’ve never met them.

I have always liked Harry, I have no idea what is going on his life at the minute, but obviously something is.

I’m sure the loss of his mum in such a tragic way when he was so young was awful and his time in Afghanistan was probably terrible too.

I guess nobody knows what is going on between him and the RF, there are two sides to the story, I highly doubt we will hear the RF’s side though so it’s hard to form an opinion of who is wrong and right!

But he just seems to be getting very personal. Everytime I open my Facebook, my feed is just filled with new revelations that the media have found in the leaked copy of his new book. I get that he has issues with his family, but he’s not holding back with the personal insults. It sounds so awful. I don’t know what has meant to have happened between them that he feels the need to belittle them in front of the whole world.

It just feels a bit too much now and a bit uncomfortable. At the end of the day they are his family. Surely he should just pick up the phone to them or better still, fly over to London and sit down at the kitchen table with them and talk the whole thing out?

I'm not sure that creating another thread about it on social media is helping...

mathanxiety · 08/01/2023 03:21

@TooBigForMyBoots - agree 100%.

Thefriendlyone · 08/01/2023 03:34

I also think it’s too much op and agree with you. He clearly isn’t just telling his life story, as he tries to paint him and his wife as victims who do no wrong, whilst quite frankly trying to make his brother look unhinged.

there is obviously two sides, for example, he never ever states why William seems to think Meghan is “rude difficult and abrasive”, it was obviously over more than just the baby brain comment, and is likely linked to the bullying claims staff have made, but he doesn’t tell us really anything about why he thinks that, or what he , harry said in the lead up to the pushing or collar grabbing, and tries to make out William just randomly lost it.

anyone capable of critical thinking will know there is another side here to that argument, which is unsaid.

So harry is seeking to mislead.he isn’t for saying anything him or his wife did in the lead up to these pushing/grabbing events , and wants readers to believe that William runs around like a mad man randomly accusing and attacking him and his wife for no reason, whilst they behave in an almost saintly manner.

the odds of that being true are beyond limited. So what does harry not want people to know about their behaviour. What is the other side he isn’t saying.

And of course Diana wouldn’t be loving it, im shocked anyone said that, that’s sick, no parent wants to see their children at war like this, never mind be loving it.

It’s guaranteed the royals have the book now, and there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

I actually feel sorry for William and Charles. It must be awful to be on the receiving end of this, and from someone you love. To not be able to publicly respond as you will escalate it.

It is vicious bullying, pure and simple.

Harry approached his challenges in a negative and revengeful way. But as I read about him now, he has always been difficult, and his decisions have been very thoughtless, both in the past and today. He had a family before who knew how reckless and irresponsible he was, but they protected him, and now he has to care for himself. At the moment, he is taking very damaging approaches to take care of himself ...

Overall, it seems to me that William has decided to approach the problem differently than his brother, and I believe more successfully, i.e. not to act offended and complain and revenge, but to be forward-looking and solution-oriented.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 08/01/2023 07:56

Nope. Not one bit. All his interested in doing is playing the victim and having a pity party, whilst blaming everyone else for his mistakes. He needs to grow up and act like an adult. He's trapped in a victim mindset. And tbh I'm sick of people blaming his behaviour on the death of his mother. Many children lose their mothers at a young age, including Prince William and they don't behave like Harry.

lightand · 08/01/2023 08:01

I wonder if he is being "guided" by his therapist?
She/he has told him to tell all? To get everything off his chest?

Either that, or he is being "guided" by someone else, or a group, to try and bring down the monarchy. But if it is this, he is still very much trying to tell everything he can think of. Which comes across as bizarre.

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/01/2023 08:08

TooBigForMyBoots · 08/01/2023 01:17

No. I was a therapist for over 10 years, his behaviour is pretty standard.🤷‍♀️

I don’t understand this comment. Is it standard behaviour because of how the RF acted or because you consider him a narcissist or mentally unwell? Or something other?

RoseMadderAsHell · 08/01/2023 08:17

Some things are too personal to share with the whole world IMO.
I don't know how it could make hime feel better to tell us all about what happened when M was in labour and how he used all the gas and air to make himself feel more relaxed.

I'm not sure that Harry or his publishers are trying to distract anyone from the cost of living/ NHS crisis or is that a thinly veiled insinuation that the royal family/government somehow got Harry to write this book, release it now, do these interviews and pre-release it in Spain so the great unwashed don't somehow notice what's going on in their own lives?

Harry/publishers are trying to make a lot of money and they can do that if people are interested and buy his book.

You don't have to be interested or buy his book.

In other news, people are capable of holding more than one thought in their head at the same time.....

This. It’s weird when people get upset that others aren’t only thinking about NHS, CoL crisis all day and nothing else

Publishers and Harry would like to make money so that’s the aim

nancydroo · 08/01/2023 08:25

I suspect he has always been a bit of a fool but British MSM sold us a different narrative which is why many people warmed to him before all this.

He's sold his soul and brought this all on himself. Why does he not care about his children and the impact this has on them growing up.

He's created a situation where he may become suicidal. He's done nothing to protect his mental health. He'll blame everybody but himself. Very deluded person. Media should stop interviewing him now.

I don’t find that anecdote remotely amusing. It is incredibly selfish and concerning. In the Uk, the midwifes I used for a home birth gave me 2 canisters between them. Ie one each. One they left in case I went into labour. As I tried for a home birth, I know how big a portable canister is over here and supping an entire one to help him relax to me spells drug issues, which he’s confirmed in the memoir. Not to mention selfish as this is his wife’s pain relief.

I’m not uncomfortable with all the Harry stuff, just uncomfortable with the press, what they give time to and how they manipulate the public. I wish the press would get on with proper journalism

Totally agree.

And I don’t think Diana would approve of his actions, if she was still alive. I know she too did interviews and spoke out about the RF, but I don’t even think she would go this far.

I guess he has the right to speak out but he could have at least not revealed their private business and insulted them on a personal level.

She did the same though, interviews,the book.

Who knows if he's unwell, he might just be an egocentric idiot.

nancydroo · 08/01/2023 08:49

In answer to your question, I do feel sorry for him and the public way he has ruined his life. He had every opportunity to live well, instead he will go down in history as a maladjusted jealous brother, putting money before honour. I feel for the charities that are linked to him and wonder whether they'll need to distance themselves in order to survive.

Timewilltell519 · 08/01/2023 08:50

How is it bullying to tell your side of the story? It is clear that you are biased too.

If the other Royals want to talk they can, they don’t have to stick to some outdated protocol of ‘don’t complain don’t explain’.

People throw the ‘bullying’ term around too loosely to silence people.

Quisquam · 08/01/2023 08:50

Tbh, I find it hypocritical that apparently he refers to the red mist descending on William in a sibling quarrel, while elsewhere he refers to killing 25 people, he saw as chess pieces!

He’s not going to get his own back on the media for all their perceived slights; so why take it all out on his family? They have all suffered at the hands of the media; but try to find a way forward?

I wish he would just stfu and get on with life in California in privacy with his family, as he said he wanted!

Timewilltell519 · 08/01/2023 08:54

I’m sure the charities will survive! How overdramatic. If anything people will see Harry as more relatable. Just like any other story things will blow over eventually and normal service will resume. I’m not saying rifts will be healed within their family but Harry is still a high profile person who is valuable to have attached to a charity for publicity reasons.

Hmmm, before this book maybe. Sometimes the “Ratner” effect can happen and happen fast.

nancydroo · 08/01/2023 08:57

It's not over dramatic at all. Not when veterans with PTSD have been triggered by Harry's exposure of his time killing people in Afghanistan and likened it to taking pieces off a chessboard. We shall see.

Plumbear2 · 08/01/2023 09:03

ChangingTheChannel · 08/01/2023 01:18

It doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all. He’s seems to be telling his life story, he’s allowed to do that.

Yes he can do that. But that's not what he is doing. He is writing about his father's private medical records and other ver personal things about other family members. Apart from the hurt they have every right to sue

Cornishclio · 08/01/2023 09:03

He is doing it for money in much the same way they did the Netflix docudrama. I won't be reading his book and haven't watched the Harry and Meghan show. You would think he could find a more dignified way of becoming financially independent. I seethe headlines but am not interested in delving deeper in to the accuracy of them. For someone who lost his mum to the effects of media intrusion I am not sure why he has chosen this route. The RF won't comment understandably. Hopefully all the hype will die down soon.

HaveYouSeenNancy · 08/01/2023 09:05

William and Harry had mutual friends, they're not bound by NDAs and they'll know a lot about Harry's behaviour on nights out etc. Some of them have disclosed that W has always had to cover for H and it's all just been thrown back in his face. This could be about to get a lot worse for Harry.

LadyKenya · 08/01/2023 09:15

I personally feel that he should keep his counsel about certain things. There has to be a reason for this avalanche of revelations about his life. He could be very unwell for all the public care. I think that some of the posts that I have read about him are cruel, and I wonder about the type of people that think with such rabid vitoral.

SirMingeALot · 08/01/2023 09:18

Shesasuperfreak · 08/01/2023 01:42

Yes, I was with him when I saw the Netflix docs even though he did seem a bit obsessed with Meg dying in the same vain as his mum. But now its like why? Its too much. At least attempt at selling something else, a royal cook book, dealing with public speaking, a parenting book, anything!
Stop whoring out your family and yourself.

I can't see any way for Harry to make money other than whoring out his family. He's not really got anything else going for him other than being a royal. Even one to two of the examples you give here would essentially mean him monetising his loved ones, albeit this time his kids rather than his brother and dad. Because it's not like anyone would be particularly interested in his thoughts on parenting and to a lesser extent cooking without him being who he is and related to who he's related to.

Meghan does at least have more options, but for Harry himself, it's hard to see what other way he can make money. He clearly isn't going back into the army, isn't very bright and hasn't got any other real skills. That's his tragedy.

Sputum · 08/01/2023 09:26

Harry (Meghan) are painting themselves as such Mary Sues it makes a lot of what they say less credible.
They paint themselves as perfect beings. Everything is everyone else’s fault. Theres zero responsibility, self-reflection, accountability for anything.
Unless they’re the second coming of Christ, this simply isn’t plausible.
