There's nothing like rational discussion on a thread and that's nothing like it

*Prince Harry witness statement:

"I became aware that I had a claim that I could bring" in 2018.

The Institution was without a doubt withholding information from me for a long time about NGN's phone hacking and that has only become clear in recent years as I have pursued my own claim with different legal advice and representation," he said. Speaking about how he found out other people within or associated with the Royal Family had brought phone hacking claims against the press, he says: "It is not an exaggeration to say that the bubble burst in terms of what I knew in 2020 when I moved out of the United Kingdom."He went on: "There was never any centralised discussion between us about who had brought claims as each office in the Institution is siloed. There is this misconception that we are all in constant communication with one another but that is not true." The prince added: "The Institution made it clear that we did not need to know anything about phone hacking and it was made clear to me that the Royal Family did not sit in the witness box because that could open up a can of worms."
He went on to say the Royal Family's "strict no comment policy" meant that "even the worst or most suspicious articles were often never brought to my attention".

There is obviously a personal element to bringing this claim but it is not just about me. There is also a social element as, if the most influential newspaper company can successfully evade justice, then in my opinion the whole country is doomed.”

“I am bringing this claim because I love my country and I remain deeply concerned by the unchecked power, influence and criminality of Associated. The evidence I have seen shows that Associated’s journalists are criminals with journalistic powers which should concern every single one of us. The British public deserve to know the full extent of this cover up and I feel it is my duty to expose it.”*

There is also a social element as, if the most influential newspaper company can successfully evade justice, then in my opinion the whole country is doomed.

“Nobody hates him btw, just 'hate' his appalling hypocritical behaviour.”

Gosh, what a relief.

I’d hate to read it if these commenters actually hated him. 🙄🧐

I've just seen a clip on the news, the state of him walking into court grinning and shaking hands with folk as if he was attending a Premiere. His tone deafness knows no bounds.

His statement sounded like a load of hot air. We don't want to know if he thinks our country is 'doomed' <he's clearly jealous as he's now an outcast> we just want to know what allegedly happened and when.

We don't want to know if he thinks our country is 'doomed'

Who is ‘we’?

I absolutely want to know every detail about what these repulsive tabloids and their owners have been doing.

So do I. I said we don't want to know if he thinks our country is 'doomed'. Prat.

Oh.My.God He’s shaking hands!!!!! 😱 😫🤬🤯

@Janiie who are you calling a prat?

Who is we?

I want to know if it’s doomed. Although, he’s not actually written that statement for us. It’s a written statement made when they filed this.

Also “Nobody hates him btw, just 'hate' his appalling hypocritical behaviour.”

What’s been described as his “appalling hypocritical behaviour” is actually a perception carefully curated and orchestrated by the tabloids over the years in a wildly successful attempt to sway public opinion of Harry & Meghan, their cash cows, lucrative beyond belief.

It’s amazing how gullible people can be. But we saw the same thing in the US with the radicalisation of the MAGA crowd.

Harold. Sorry, that wasn't aimed at you.

@PlanetLuna your response is full of inaccuracies- Jason k did not give the letter to the tabloids for example 😂 - she won albeit a pyrrhic victory. one award was for a whole £1.

He really hates ‘the Institution’ doesn’t he? So much so that why would he be at the Coronation to see the head of that institution crowned? Especially why would he use Prince and Princess for his children and use his own title?
Just so hypocritical it’s beyond belief.

Antelopenotanotheroneagain has gone Loon. The forever grasp of nothing gives her away.

“Sure, Jan”. It’s from the Brady Bunch, an old tv show.

I guess it’s another poster who is the meme queen. 😁

“You could say the daily Mail have an axe to grind against Harry over all of the legal cases and are spewing vile crap stories about him for that reason.”

@Whaeanui
Yes to everything you stated! Especially the last sentence. I’m convinced that Meghan was initially targeted by some tabs as a way to threaten and force Harry to fall into line.

And then it became a very deliberate campaign to discredit him in advance of these lawsuits and to try and force a settlement.

He really hates ‘the Institution’ doesn’t he?

He can't do, Ishouldbeoutside - aren't we always being told he supports the institution and it's really just the media he has a problem with?

So it seems a little odd that he's now blaming them for policies which meant articles were allegedly never brought to his attention, considering he could presumably have read them for himself

Well there’s the institution, and then there’s also meant to be a family within that. Personally I don’t think it’s possible to actually separate them and that’s the issue. Enslaving a family by birth, to have no freedom or choice in how your life is, in exchange for palaces, tiaras and money that only really goes to one member who gets to decide how much everyone else gets and what they do with their life. It’s mental. They never had a chance to be a proper family, and they never will until you let the whole thing go.

'They never had a chance to be a proper family, and they never will until you let the whole thing go.'

What an awful thing to say. Their environment is of course different to ours but I think they can be a 'proper family' within that. W&C seem to have a 'proper family', Camilla and Charles don't seem to take themselves too seriously, they all seem very grounded despite their surroundings.

I don't think there is room for petulance and arrogance though as we witnessed with Harry flouncing in early 2020.

🙄 No one's enslaved. Harry had access to a life of extreme privilege that he could leave whenever he wanted. In fact, Harry has actually demonstrated that he always did have choices. The problem is Harry can't let go. He's an angry man who's pretending he's happy. I'm sure he loves his wife and children but he carries around so much bitterness that he can't be loving his life.

😢

What an awful thing to say

No it isn’t, it’s the truth. They are enslaved by the public. You think saying, oh but we give them such privilege with the wealth blah blah That doesn’t matter when you’ve made every other decision in their lives for them. I think it’s gross, so do a lot of people. No family should have to grow up like that. They have to compete with each other and go cap in hand to the monarch for an allowance all their lives. Add in the obvious issues with the media, of course they’ll have problems as a family. The reason he’s getting so much hate from some people is because he had the audacity to want to work less for the family firm and then leave completely, a decision any adult should be able to make without being hated on in the extreme way media and public have taken to.

they all seem very grounded despite their surroundings.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yep it’s a shame as this could have been an interesting thread. Maybe in the news topic it might have been.
sadly the RF topic is now has to many people posting childish memes and talking about hair.

'The reason he’s getting so much hate from some people is because he had the audacity to want to work less for the family firm and then leave completely'

The reason he gets so much criticism is he wanted to do as he pleased, was told no so flounced. Then he wanted 'Sussex Royal USA!' And again was told no. He is a bitter and angry man so he then went on the attack, broke their trust and breached their privacy by doing reality shows, numerous media interviews revealing sensitive personal and private info. He is a raging mass of hypocrisy and contrariness.i support his current thing but let's hope he doesn't use it as yet another vehicle to attack the rf.
