Is it ok to mock school matron as"not hot":Pr H

[jazzsyncopation]

Prince harry used to imitate this "not hot" woman's walking difficulties while coming downstairs. What a cruel ,bullying,attitude

Horrible indeed. It must be pretty obvious to her and people who know her who he he is talking about. I hope that she can be paid some damages, that is a truly hurtful and nasty thing to say.

A friend of mine has read the book and thinks Harry is a lovely misunderstood boy. She has a disabled daughter also with a scoliosis and I was totally WTAF! Harry now says he was wrong and ashamed of his behaviour. Therapy talk, so meaningless. He wasn't a little child but old enough to know how wrong this was. My 9 year old is kinder and wouldn't ever act like this.

Good manners, kindness and empathy are not learned in therapy sessions, but they are inate. Harry's apologies are as fake as his woke enlightenment. Nasty little shit

Harry now says he was wrong and ashamed of his behaviour

Where?

I just googled that and can't see any indication of regret at all, but am happy to be corrected on this

Did he say he was ashamed in the book?

ofcourse it is, he’s brave Harry .

anyone else ? yes it’s definitely not ok .

He stated in the book and in his interview that he had horrible entitled thoughts and this was one of the examples he has changed his views and he has changed his views and how embarrassed he is of them now

If he was putting it forward as an example of his own bad behaviour it is very different to telling the story simply as an anecdote. As with everything with Harry, it's nice that he has made some progress but even now he's shockingly unaware of how entitled and foolish he still is, demonstrated by the fact that he has basically gone and done it again by describing her in those terms for all to see.

Is he middle aged?

It’s a revolting way to behave - and if he really was ashamed he wouldn’t have written the anecdote in such a such a lighthearted manner. His journey to self discovery and enlightenment still has a few thousand miles to go - if indeed he ever reaches the finishing line.

Yes. It's like he's only a tiny bit enlightened even now. Just enough to be self righteous. But that tends to be how a narcissist uses therapy...

I know that some people will defend him as having just been a child (about 13?) at the time, but we've all been children, and about 99% of us wouldn't dream of mocking a disabled persons walk when we were children. There was typically one child in each year who would try to be funny by doing that kind of thing, so Harry was just his year group's arsehole. No wonder his brother didn't want to be associated with him.

That's true. But the child who has been emotionally switched off/stunted by trauma is more likely to be a bully IME.

Gawd, are we still analysing every sentence of this drivel.. enough already!

Worth noting that his cousin Eugenie also had scoliosis - corrected by an operation. Her wedding dress was designed to show the scar on her back.

I take it from your ridiculous post that you do not have a physical difference, or you would not be talking such rot.

Whilst I think it's awful he, no doubt others, mocked this poor woman, I'm abhorred that the school didn't stamp it out appropriately - bullies creating more bullies

Is this true? My mum died when I was a child... the same age as Harry was. I'm the complete opposite of a bully...I remember kids at school mucking about and pulling pranks on some of the weaker teachers and I felt really sad for them

If he ever reaches the starting line!

One assumes he felt he needed some carefully-chosen, entirely benign examples of 'things that show me to have been unpleasant in the past, so that I can demonstrate my contrition and emotional intelligence now by contrast', so the fact that he deliberately selected this as 'basically harmless' highlights him as a real posho male chauvinist pig sniggering at the servants' lack of allure...

Looks like it. If only there were other boards on here that you could read so you aren't forced onto the Royal Family one, eh?

What’s rot about that?

Says it all

Women reduced to their physical being

It's baffling how a dim, dull guy can have his badly written book analyzed line by line for weeks as though it is a great work of literature - all because he is a prince.

He stated in the book and in his interview that he had horrible entitled thoughts and this was one of the examples he has changed his views and he has changed his views and how embarrassed he is of them now

Sounds a bit of a stretch to include this as an offered example, and even more to bracket it under "entitled" - unless he means entitled to be downright cruel

And someone "embarrassed" about what they did as a child would hardly have used the language he did when recounting the anecdote

We used to call our english teacher "the Robot" because she walked slowly after a car accident. Similarly another teacher was "the Stick" because she was so thin. Our principal was called "the Steroid Giant" because he worked out. I seem to recall most of our teachers had non complimentary nick names. I highly doubt this is not common in schools in UK.
