Prince Harry’s Short Coronation Trip Is ‘Massive Diss,’ Friend of William Says

No doubt many will see Harry’s actions as an admirable demonstration of his devotion to family duty if he does choose this course of action.

In some quarters of Buckingham Palace, of course, running out of your dad’s big day to attend a child’s birthday party might be perceived not so much as a noble devotion to paternal obligations as an almighty “Fuck you!”

I found the a child line particularly disgusting, Archie is Harry's son, if he's leaving as soon as the coronation is over to make it in time for Archie's birthday, that's fantastic not something to deride by this so called friend.

Prince Harry’s Short Coronation Trip Is ‘Massive Diss,’ Friend of William Says

A pal of Prince William tells The Daily Beast relations between the brothers are “so bad they are nonexistent,” but William would be happy for his father that Harry was attending.

OMG, what is the big deal? He's coming. Then he's going home. Archie will probably be in bed when he gets home anyway. 'Friends' on all sides should keep their gobs shut. Their comments never make anything better.

If Harry really wanted to be with Archie for his birthday, both he and Meghan would have accepted the invitation to the Coronation and would have brought the children over as well.

They could have left the function as early as they pleased to see young Archie. Archie misses out on a children's function with cousins and on seeing his grandfather, the King, who set a date which made it really logical for the whole family to cross the Atlantic. Harry is abusing his kids by not allowing them family contact.

The clear snub by Meghan (and leaving the children home and far from their grandfather) speaks volumes as to how mean spirited they are.

forgotmyusername1 · 22/04/2023 06:24

I think it is a real shame they aren't taking the kids

In the future the kids themselves may well lament when asked - were you at your grandads coronation? And the answer is ,no, it was my birthday so we didn't go.

They could have celebrated his birthday a couple of days later - who remembers their 4th birthday? To be able to say they were there at the coronation and have pictures of the event even if they don't remember it would be awesome.

I don't think they will ever have much of a relationship with their cousins now which is quite sad really

Clear snub by Meghan? Don't you think they would discuss this as a family?

Would you want to go to a country where a popular newspaper (DE) publishes 44, yes FORTY FOUR articles in just one 24 hour period knocking you, making up bullshit, stirring up vile hate... and no one calls that out?

Here you are.. have a look. I have attached the headlines of the 44 articles.

Mean spirited? No. Sensible, measured and protecting herself and her MH. Personally my MH would be in the gutter, I cannot imagine how she copes to be honest. She has barely been seen for months, yet there are 44 articles written about her and her husband.
Harry is going for his father. Best solution and when the coronation was announced it was what I said would happen. If I was Harry I would want to be protecting my wife and family and I would be glad my wife had made the decision not to subject herself to any more toxicity.

"Harry is abusing his kids by not allowing them family contact."
what a ridiculous thing to say.

mixedrecycling · 22/04/2023 08:27

I think I'll start a new career as a royal reporter, then I can just sit on the sofa and make something up and get paid for it. Beats working for a living 😂

Anyway, Harry has chosen to come to the coronation for a brief visit. Probably best for everyone, as there has been quite a bit of bad feeling in the family so best to keep it short and (hopefully) polite on all sides.

WinnieTheW0rm · 22/04/2023 08:56

I don't really care what "William's friend" thinks - especially an unnamed one, who is probably entirely invented - and I doubt very much that any of the family will actually comment.

Roussette · 22/04/2023 08:57

I agree. I don't care a fig about 'William's friend'. It's all BS.

But why blame Meghan? One minute it's we don't want her here anyway, the next minute they should all be here as a happy family for the sake of Charles basically.
You know what will happen if she came here with the children. Why subject her family to this. They are 4 - and 2. They won't remember this any more than the 4th birthday. They will miss photos as memories. Memories of a time when their mother was despised by their father's family. Why would anyone push their young children into this knowing the aftermath.

If they came it will be all pretence just for the photos. Maybe that's what the RF are good at. They've made the decision that Harry should go as a son but why upheave herself and children for a few days of misery.

They will enjoy Archie's birthday and can catch the rest on YouTube with Harry when he gets back.

forgotmyusername1 · 22/04/2023 10:25

Where did I blame Meghan. I said they indicating plural people

custardbear · 22/04/2023 10:43

I can't abide H&M but glad he's going. The less time he spends there the better unless he is going to build bridges and apologise ... a lot!

miri1985 · 22/04/2023 10:44

They're damned no matter what they do, its an impossible situation which is largely of their own creation. If both Harry and Meghan showed up to the coronation, they would be accused of stealing focus. Same with all the associated events if Harry showed up to the concert a good proportion of the articles written about the event will be about him.

I actually think what Harrys doing, showing up to the coronation only is probably the best thing he could do, hes showing respect for the most important ceremony but not giving the tabloids any more fodder over his interactions with the rest of the royal family at other events

I thought that they were a bit attention-grabbing (rightly or wrongly) when they came to the Jubilee and 1) wound the window down in their armored car to wave and 2) stood in a prominent position at the window possibly hoping to be photographed?

If they came to the coronation and did similar things, I'd probably think the same

Didn't Charles say some disrespectful things about MM. I wouldn't go either if I was her.

Agree this is probably the best compromise to a bad situation, once the Coronation celebrations are over and everything returns to normality there will be no future major events for H&M to attend, it will be interesting to see how things pan out, I presume Charles will keep holding out the olive branches and invite them to Sandringham at Christmas etc.

Oh come on the tabloids were desperate for as many pics of her as possible.
Hence the right camera lens to reach that far from daylight to inside a room. . She was not on the balcony but inside with others. That's just the picture you saw because it sells more - more clicks than a picture of any of the others behind the balcony.

As for causing attention to herself by winding down the window and waving - she is not the first of the RF to wind a window down and wave her hand at the masses. Or is that for the ones that are paid. Maybe next time she can stand upright suited and booted in an open top car gliding along the mall.

Yeah I'm sure Williams circle use words like "massive diss" 🤣 sounds credible 🤣

Good grief. Winding a window down is a heinous crime! And as far as the pic at the window Meghan was with little kids who were looking out the window and she was behind them and it was a really grainy shot.

I know some people want her to disappear off the face of the earth but really, she did nothing wrong at the Jubilee.
No wonder they left.

Viviennemary · 22/04/2023 14:59

I agree it is massively disrespectful to his father to make the visit as short as he possibly can. I suppose they havent agreed to listen to his long list of grievances. Don't know if he was better not to bother making an appearance at all. Took him long enough to make up his mind. I suppose he needs more gossip for his four book deal. And themrest of the family quite rightly aren't engaging.

Apparently too bad to print. Probably in the missing 400 pages.
