Harry just protecting the other "spares"

[Magnoliasunrise]

Shocked to see in this mornings Telegraph that Harry is concerned for the other "spares" He just wants to break the bad parenting pattern and stop it happening to Charlotte or George. If I was W&K I would be absolutely LIVID by now. What does anyone else think?

I thought that too! Anyone thats anyone in the US will not want their brand contaminated by this and their social diaries are going to have dried up to nothing if they haven't already done so. The indiscretion if nothing else.

Very tainted brand now, I would be handing back the titles and moving house/country if I were them and have a new start. They can sell it as 'Harry's recovery' or whatever because they are going to be persona non grata everywhere now.

Whatever happened to #be kind?

Many have thankfully grown tired of this empty cotton wool sound bite, which usually means, “stop telling the truth about my behaviour because it makes me feel bad!” I’m so happy it mostly gets the eye rolling it deserves, when it’s trotted out these days.

It was the constitution that blocked Margaret's marriage, not the Queen Mother. Because Peter Townsend was a divorcee, she would need the monarch's permission as head of the Church of England to marry. The Queen suggested they wait until she turned 25 for the fuss to die down and PT was sent to Europe to work as an envoy to wait it out. Then, when Margaret did turn 25, they realised the small print of the constitution said she also needed the permission of Parliament and the only way they'd grant it was if she renounced her claims of succession and became a commoner. She refused, he met someone else and then she married Snowdon.

I've thought that too!
The movers and shakers in the A list tend to have very little of their private lives in the press. There's not regular leaks about their relationships and families.

If I were someone in elite circles I'd be very wary of opening up to Harry and Meghan now because they've shown themselves to be at best indiscrete and at worst shamelessly willing to sell out anyone's information for a quick dollar.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if she did? For its own sake of course, but as a bonus, it would be such an irritant to Harry and his pompous stipulations that for the sake of climate change, no one should be having more than two children to ferry around the world in big gas guzzlers and on multiple private jets.

He's even named William after him calling him his Archnemesis

Sorry, copied wrong post.

I agree it’s just nuts. But then Harry tells us Kate made a face when asked to loan her lipgloss and so many people here believe this and think they know exactly what it means.

When I saw that Justine called the Meghan haters unhinged I wondered how she missed their counterparts; those posters that hate W&K just because they think it helps Meghan and Harry somehow.

This

Andrew is 12 years younger than Charles. By the time Andrew was aware of being the spare, Charles was an adult so had a lot more freedom - not that it turned out well.

I can imagine a 2 year age gap makes a difference. And although the gap between Anne and Charles is similar, they weren't schooled together and Anne was no longer the spare by age 10. It's not a surprise to see that H & W

H& W are more competitive

Is this true? 😲

Yes, and it's almost always directed at women.

Was Harold #beingkind when he revealed very private details about his family in his book?

But what you are limited by is also largely irrelevant. And many people ARE limited as grown adults by their family. They might have caring responsibilities that they can't afford to outsource financially or emotionally. It's not always about controlling, it just is what it is.

Being incredibly wealthy he does have more control over his life than lots of other people. Especially as he clearly lacks in terms of intelligence and work ethics.

True liberation from family confines can be found I find by a cast iron will to do things differently, and follow your own values. It can not be found endlessly picking at the wound or starting fights.

His misogynist, ableist anecdote about a disabled woman working at his school was certainly not kind! People twisting themselves into pretzel shapes to defend this astonish me.

Their offices co-operate to decide who does what. It’s perfectly fair to say that some members of the RF make themselves more available than others. Engagements are a blunt instrument to measure workload, there’s a lot more to being an effective member of the RF. Charles is, by all accounts, a workaholic.

You are right on the money. Also, do you all remember at the beginning when Harry attended an event and was seated next to Rose? Meghan was told she couldn’t attend with Harry, this was in early days of relationship. It was reported at the time and there was a picture of Harry sitting next to Rose that was in all the papers. I bet Meghan was very angry and the rumor happened after that. I think she is the source of the rumor.

But then "Be Kind" is always a one way street for the people who invoke it.

They'll be along to tell us that we need to see the 'context'.

I wonder what Invictus think? Mind you they've allowed themselves to become basically the Harry and Meghan show of late, so chances are they won't mind.

Indeed. Seems to be only a very few who determine the definition of kindness and also who gets to benefit from The Kindness.

Giles Coren attended the opening of Soho House in Istanbul with Harry and Meghan over a weekend. The rumour appeared within days of it. can’t be Istanbul , Amsterdam maybe.
I swear they are like McDonalds they are everywhere .

Useful, though; as I said on another thread, it's worth knowing exactly who the posters are who'll defend the telling of this "anecdote" without apparent regret

Istanbul was earlier (2015) - Amsterdam was 2018 and apparently attended by the trio
