Harry’s sunken bed comment

144 replies

Coffeecreams · 11/01/2023 09:02

When describing how KC told Harry about the death of his Mum, Harry made a point of saying ‘that sunken bed’.

Given the fact that Harry obviously likes to come across as a poor ‘woe is me’ spare part of the RF, does anyone else wonder if this comment was just another one of his sly digs, designed to imply that he didn’t even have a comfortable bed when staying with his Father, and just slept on an old worn out bed?

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I can’t help thinking that he tries to use every opportunity possible to make people believe that, as he’s always supposedly had to ‘play second fiddle’ to William, William not only had the bigger room, but also would’ve had a more comfortable mattress to sleep on too, and not have to make do with a sunken bed like ‘poor Harry’ supposedly did.

You sound totally unhinged.

@Coffeecreams you really do want to argue don't you!

I am saying if you clearly do not like someone why would you watch the interview?

For what it's worth you have been told multiple times that you are overthinking the comments by multiple posters but you just want to stamp your foot because people disagree

Are you suggesting that people watched the Prince Andrew interview because they liked him?

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 12/01/2023 12:24

In fact I think Newsnight got their highest ever viewing figures for that interview.

You seem very stressed, @Coffeecreams . In trying times like these, just ask yourself - WWKD? (What would Kate do?)

Yes, those posters seem to want to shut down the discussion for some reason.

I’m really baffled by Harry’s second hand sofa.com purchases and moans about Nottingham Cottage.

M&H are multi millionaires. They could have rented a house wherever they liked and furnished it however they liked.

I know a few landed gentry and they live in bog sprawling Manor houses that are cold, draughty and probably do have really old beds and furniture! It's the way they live.

Modern money, beckhams for example, I'm.sure their sprawling manors will be refurbished and have the best of new furniture.

Similar property, different attitude.

His interview wasn't to promote a book!

And? You said

I'm sure loads of people who have no intention of buying the book watched one or other of the interviews (including me).

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 12/01/2023 15:50

And I watch loads of programmes about people I don't like but am interested in. Don't you?

@Coffeecreams because you clearly do not like Harry so why watch the interview?

That's like those who say I hate love island then watch it and bitch about it

I don’t watch Love Island but surely watching stuff just to bitch about it is actually quite common? It’s all very Gogglebox or car crash tv isn’t it? Bit naïve to think people only watch or read about things that don’t give them that ‘oh my god’ factor.

Same. It felt very media/politically driven with Tony Blair talking of the ‘people’s princess’. No one in my sphere was upset beyond the usual ‘that is sad’ you feel when someone you have heard of but barely know dies. I don’t know anyone who left flowers anywhere. At the time everyone I knew thought the boys should have stayed at Balmoral until the funeral.

Me too. In fact I thought the most disgusting thing about the whole coming back to London was footage of people demanding the Queen come back to London as they needed consoling by her presence! I was shocked at such disgusting entitlement by some sappy members of the public. I expect they were the type whose houses were filled to the brim with royal tea towels and mugs!

I watched to the interview because I wanted to. Wtf is it to you anyway?
In fact don’t bother replying as you’re clearly just trying to be goady. How nasty, oh and weird.

I agree, their probably Harry’s only three or four fans.

I'm not convinced that a young H would really have noticed the tears in the fabric of the bedlinen or been able to recognise and name the exact colours of everything in such vivid detail.

I don't see him as a young home design fanatic somehow 🤷‍♀️

If this excerpt is anything to go by I suspect that his ghost writer was given quite a lot of poetic licence 😬

Not stressed no, thanks for the ‘concern’

It amazes me how some posters clearly just love to goad (like yourself for instance) and go way overboard to twist whatever an OP writes, like in this thread.
I’m accused of being overly invested and obsessed with the RF all because I pointed out a comment Harry made.
It just shows that a few certain posters are either nasty, stupid or just plain weird.

I’ve been watching the Diana documentary on Sky (it’s purely clips) and it is awful seeing Harry at the funeral.
I don’t know what the alternative was though. The Queen didn’t want a state funeral but the public pushed.
Would Harry been complaining now if it didn’t have a state funeral or if he’d been kept away?

Isn’t that part of the blame, the public he’s now trying to appeal to, who were crying on the streets, complaining the flag wasn’t at half mast?

Her funeral wasn’t a state funeral, it was a ceremonial funeral.

I would’ve thought he would’ve really only remembered his Father coming into his room to tell him the tragic news of his Mum.
OP, this suggests you've never been in a situation like this, thankfully. Years ago, my dad had to call me to say the doctors had said they didn't think my mum would live beyond that day. I remember very vividly, exactly how I curled up on the side of my bed when he hung up. I remember the food I put in the freezer before rushing to the airport, despite it being completely unimportant. I remember that in the minutes after she died it popped into my head that I had a date that week and that I hoped he wouldn't think it too bad mannered to cancel. All incredibly tiny, trivial detail given the gravity of the day but the brain does very strange things in grief and to me it makes absolute sense that he would remember that detail.

I don't know if I have the right words but it's something like 'emotional memory'. I always wondered why I remembered a death in the family quite vividly when I didn't remember much more about that time. Decades later, in a different setting, I learned that it was because of this - very upset really, too young to explain it and going along with what the grown-ups suggested at the time, because they were all doing what they thought was right, and thinking years later how it could have been done differently.
Which doesn't help me to find that excerpt about the sheets etc., because that's the only reason I started scrolling down this one! Gotta move.
