Harry demsding aplogy - royals must come clean

188 replies

I thought this was blowing over but Harry has now said royals must apologise and come clean for what they've done. These are quite strong words I think. And now a royal aide to the late Queen wants an aplogy for something in the book he says refers to him. Maybe the royals will have to make a statement if Harry keeps on.

I hope they continue with their silence. He's so far gone that he will self combust . He is absolutely off his head .

I think Harry is struggling with not getting a reaction to what he doing.

This. He is desperate for Willy to respond. He's looking more ridiculous by the day.

They are probably gone past the mortified stage and are getting worried about him at this stage.

EricNorthmanYesPlease · 14/01/2023 20:27

His next book will be called 'Willy made me do it'. His brothers getting blamed for everything.

I'm also starting to come round to the idea that long-term drug use and abuse has made him prone to paranoid delusions.

It's interesting that his pal from the Telegraph who wrote the interview that was published today, Bryony Gordon, has written her own memoirs and talks of her own issues with drug dependency, alcohol addiction and mental health problems. So she's got her own justification narrative going on there possibly in writing all that weird stuff about Harry (that does not actually make him - or her - look good at all).

I'd agree - his family must be desperately worried about him.

Whilst I am totally loathe to throw any psychiatric terms around, his response to being politely and studiously ignored does very much remind me of the narc in my family.

I've been through it several times with them and it's not a fun phase at all.

Undoubtedly there are apologies required on both sides if therebis to be any reconciliation. The problem is the RF can't, because they do not think there's anything wrong with the way they are. They also can't because they can't open the can of worms.

The truth of the whole story, IMO, is that Harry is upset the RF puts the family business ahead of the family itself - and that is exactly right! They'd ostracise anyone who threatens the business.

Totally this ☝️

Neh, I think they're more interested in their image!

Anthillmobontherun · 14/01/2023 20:45

This is a lesson to all of us dealing with a difficult family member. The Royal Family, love them or hate them, are giving a masterclass on Grey Rock-ing.

Perfectly put. I'm having a difficult time with a dreadful sibling and as long as the palaces stay silent it's giving me the strength to stay silent. For that i weirdly thank them

purpledalmation · 14/01/2023 20:49

He's even resorted to threatening a second book with all the most explosive things he left out of book 1 put in. Nice bit of blackmail Harry.

Not sure what he expects them to apologise for? Leaking negative stories about his wife and himself? Where's the proof? Where's the specifics?

The RF silence is driving him up the wall.

To be fair even Harry's telling of the post funeral discussion with William makes W sound desperately worried. There are many interpretations for why he might be worried, but he does sound really concerned.

diamondpony80 · 14/01/2023 20:49

Harry's behaviour reminds me of one of DH's family members. This is a man in his fifties and he's got numerous petty grievances (all the way back to childhood) about most of his siblings. He used to be quite normal and had a good relationship with the family. It's only in recent years that all these accusations have started about how he was treated within the family (he was treated the same as all his other siblings and while they weren't well off, they had a good childhood). He is now extremely paranoid and will only communicate with certain family members but is completely no contact with others (including his own adult children). DH hasn't spoken to him in years as the only time he will talk to anyone is when he comes looking for money (which he thinks he's owed). The decline in his attitude, paranoia and behaviour has been swift over the last 10 years. I do wonder what will happen to Harry.

Where did he threaten this?

The problem with saying such viciously hurtful things, with the sole purpose of hurting the targets, is that, however much they love you, they eventually reach a point when they no longer care. He is fast approaching that point.

I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t be worrying about someone humiliating me publicly for money.

I thought it was interesting when he talked about how he drunk a hallucinogenic drink as part of a “ceremony” and after that things became clear and it widened the riff between him and William.

the more he talks the more he sounds like a drug user who has taken too much, smoked too much pot and become paranoid about everything.

Where did it say that? That’s very interesting, especially if he has been hypnotised.

@MechanicaHound www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jan/13/prince-harry-i-left-out-details-as-i-feared-family-would-not-forgive-me

He has a multiple book deal apparently. Of course he doesn't say I'll publish this additional shit if you don't apologise, but you don't need to be Sherlock to work it out

Anthillmobontherun · 14/01/2023 20:57

I think any vestige of sympathy for him is rapidly wearing thin

Myotherpetisamouse · 14/01/2023 21:00

He’s getting more dramatic with each interview. It’s almost as if he’s had acting coaching…

We have a family member like this and that’s exactly what has happened.

VioletLemon · 14/01/2023 21:05

The interview in Africa with Tom Bradby when M tearfully said nobody asked her if she was okay seemed like the opening of the floodgates. It must have been a terrifying experience when she realised the extent of media intrusion, the RF behaviour codes etc but she must have been so confident previously and believed she could pluckily overcome/change the bits she disagreed with. He seems so damaged, the oversharing, the compulsive truth talking, knob talk etc is unsettling. The events around his Mother's death and the dysfunctional dynamics prior to that have given him major attachment disorder. I feel worried for him he needs saving from himself which is perhaps what W was trying to do.

Lovemydoggiesomuch · 14/01/2023 21:10

Harry reminds me of a close family member who smoked weed all his life…he is now over 60
This member has d spent his adult years blaming everyone else for the way his life is . He has become increasingly angry,petty and paranoid and has taken similar pot shots at his close family over the most trivial of incidents. Ie the uniform he had to wear to school etc . So yes I do think that Harry’s drug use has contributed to his poor behaviour.

caringcarer · 14/01/2023 21:10

He should not be dragging Princess Charlotte into it. She is a child. I bet he would not like it if his daughter was dragged into public accusations. The numerous drugs have addled his brain giving him delusions of grandeur and paranoia, both symptoms of schizophrenia, which can be triggered by drug taking.

ArcaneWireless · 14/01/2023 21:11

Sorry bye

Probably all that needs to be said.

And I’d probably not be too fussed about saying the sorry bit of that.
