Page 5 | Should Harry attend the coronation?

I say NO. Why put himself through it? His family is too cold and not just because of his actions or what has revealed. I think they have always been that way. Besides, it will also be Archie's birthday.

I also think they thought they would be global superstars when they left and this drove much of their behaviour. They thought the palace was holding them back, putting them in a little box and they were the real stars of the show with huge potential
and to be fair to them, they did have this opportunity . They were not hugely wrong here. At that point they were hot property. What the queen spotted in their plans and disallowed was they couldn’t monetise their titles. But let’s face it they did it anyway.
they squandered their chance at superstardom, because of their distasteful, inelegant, often Petty, arguably dishonest at times and deeply hypocritical behaviour, they habe turned themselves into two of the most controversial, mocked and divisive people out there.
they have no career path to speak of. Literally nothing. Their sole career path is being royal and leveraging it and trading on it to get roles and money.
They do very little charity work themselves and make sure to tip off the paps so they are always photographed when they do do something, so everyone knows, they deride the monarchy repeatedly and take huge sums of money to do it , whilst desperately clinging on to being royal.

Agree completely with this summery. Meghan, being American, maybe didn't see what a great opportunity they had for world-wide fame. Harry, being at the far end of "stupid", listened only to Meghan.

Agreed. They spoke publicly about the English monarchy being an outdated racist, commonwealth based on colonialism but want their children to be Prince and Princess of that system as it is their 'birth right'.

Well, it's a birth right based on the idea that a very few people are born into extreme wealth and power with much of that wealth resulting from exploiting the poor in numerous ways that caused suffering to entire countries of poor people. If that's how you want to view it, which the Sussexes were claiming to.

If you claim to reject a system, you can't also virtue signal while agreeing to, and profiting from that system.

The Sussexes know that outside of Europe, where they have chosen to live, titles like Duke, Duchess, Prince and Princess are exciting and will garner attention and people treating them as special royalty in countries that don't have a monarchy. They know without royal family titles, the USA etc won't see them as that interesting in the long-term.

They're self-serving egoists who want to benefit from the monarchy and all the abuses and exploitations implied, while also complaining about it.

Trey and Matt are incredible satirists still knocking it out of the park after 26 season's 😀.

They were totally spot on with H and M as they often are.

Indeed. Harry and Meghan are perfect content which must make their job easier. I'd like to see an episode covering his woo therapy, psychedelia and the birthright to titles. 😀

So you don't think there are stories about questionable behaviour on Harry's part that the palace have buried. Or done deals with the press not to publish?

Show quote history

No

Roussette · 17/03/2023 12:16

It's basically a gladiator arena and would we not be entertained if Harry attended?

At least you're honest about that! So many posters do this faux outrage thing whereby it's an insult for him to turn up whilst knocking the monarchy, hypocrisy blah blah blah.

Whilst secretly they are desperate for them to be there so they can start the never ending circle of criticism and slagging them off.

Lampzade · 17/03/2023 12:21

If they go the press will spend all the time talking about them
if they don’t go the press will spend all the time talking about them.
The Queen ( the longest reigning monarch) didn’t even get the full attention of the press as her own funeral because of interest in the Sussexes

People are obsessed with them hence the sixty millions threads started daily ( mostly by their detractors) by people who claim that they are ‘irrelevant’

If the Sussexes want to attend the Coronation they should attend. If they don’t want to attend they should stay at home .

FredandAmy · 17/03/2023 12:24

Price21210 · 16/03/2023 17:41

If they go or if they don't, the attention will only be on the Sussexes anyway. I will watch it on TV only if they are there. I don't care about the coronation itself, Charles or the rest of them.

That's way Charles wants Harry to come. He knows the focus will not be on him but Harry and his family.

You’re seriously saying that you’ll only watch the first coronation of a British monarch in 75 years, if a former cable actress and the druggy 5th in line to the throne put in an appearance?

A coronation that will be attended by foreign royalty, Heads of State from all over the World and people who have spent a lifetime in the service of this country.

Let us be honest , their detractors are desperate for them to attend .

Course they are!

They just pretend they don't want them there! They'd be gutted if they didn't come.

They want to hear boos and see icy looks and have them seated in Siberia. So they can slather over all the threads about it.

Isn't it interesting that there isn't a thread wondering if Andrew's ex wife will be there? Or if he will be sat with his daughters? Or will be be sat behind a pillar or out in frost Siberia.
Funny that. No one's interested in that.

Andrew gets excused constantly.
Harry and Meghan are evil personified.

I really couldn’t give a hoot whether they attend or not tbh. I just find the constant threads about them fascinating
Ridiculous really. People accusing the Sussexes of courting attention and then these self same people creating another thread to talk about them, therefore giving the Sussexes the attention they crave.
The cognitive dissonance is shocking.

Oh dear, I do seem to have touched a nerve. 😂

Which of my so-called “insults” are you unhappy with.

Meghan was a cable TV actress.
Harry admits to taking drugs.
Harry is 5th in line to the throne.

Sorry if the truth offends.

user1492757084 · 17/03/2023 13:00

Yes, as it is proper for Harry to support his father if he can even though he has done the dirty on his family. No one's family is perfect.

If Harry and Meghan go their children will be there somewhere with other small cousins and that is good for them.
Harry will have to prepare for being seated not in the most visual position and for some of the family to ignore them due to Harry's poor choice of publishing a family tell all.

He would not have written it unless he was prepared to take the consequences.

Roussette · 17/03/2023 13:02

I hope there's a pillar big enough for Andrew to sit behind too!

I thought we all shared a dream that some American TV network will television the coronation and get Harry to be presenter/guest presenter.

That way Harry gets much needed money and potential in with another career option, they avoid any negative boos but still get associated with the RF and chance to raise their profile.

The monarchists will then be happy he doesn't take attention at least in UK away from the event.

The republicans can be happy they can get focus on their objections and protests and not get side tracked by the Sussexes and their confusing stance on monarchy.

The Royal family don't have to deal with problem of Harry but can continue to ignore him entirely.

TV network gets kudos of Royal fronting the show - which might increase their audience share.

The detractors get chance to point out every mistake - and so far Harry's knowledge of UK history the crown and religion seemslimited and potential for misspeaking will be huge and take piss on them making money on RF connections.

It's strange that he would want to go. He has spent a great deal of time and energy telling the world what is wrong with the institution, how poorly he has been treated and how awful his family have been towards him. I can't understand why he would then want to go to an event celebrating the continuation of that institution. I think it's quite strange to berate your family and the institution but then wish to be recognised as a key part of that institution publicly. To me, it's like quitting your job and standing on the news telling the world what a terrible employer they were with outdated, inappropriate and racist practices. Then turning up to the keynote speech at the yearly party conference decked out in the company uniform, waving the company flag and sitting in the front row proclaiming to be a lifelong supporter of the company. It's a strange but funny image 😃 Surely if you did this people would think you were behaving very oddly and inconsistently.

Harry has made many interesting and important points about the monarchy. Some seem to be fair and others unfair but he does need to practice what he preaches and not engage in hypocrisy. He should not expect to be a part of the institution when it suits him and his image but have nothing to do with the institution when he could build a stronger brand on being an alternative. He has criticised and now he should practice what the preaches and no longer be associated with such an institution. To attend wearing 'royal' regalia such as a tiara to clearly mark yourself as special within the institution and outranking common citizens it especially galling. I also feel that he should not have styled his children with titles in line with his proclaimed values.

If Harry will be wearing a tiara, then he definitely must go!
Very appropriate choice of headwear for him given that he behaves like a spoiled princess.

do you realise how misogynistic you sound with that comment

pantherrose · 17/03/2023 13:58

Oh do bore off.

Would spoiled prince appease your sensitivities?

How you take it is your problem, not mine.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 17/03/2023 14:03

What if everything Harry has said about them and the racism is the truth? Has anyone even considered that? I mean, he should know better than anyone. It IS his family and he grew in it

Yes of course I considered it, at least at the time; trouble is he's said so much which has since been shown to be inaccurate that it's wrecked his credibility and his narrative along with it
No matter how he tried to spin things, suggesting that his "curated memory" is the same as the objective truth just doesn't cut it

Even the implications of RF racism had to be back-pedaled on, though personally I still wonder if that was because they asked H&M for proof of their story only for it to be found they didn't have any
