[[https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-harrys-short-coronation-trip-is-massive-diss-friend-of-william-says 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.

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 think so too.

This way he's doing his duty and buffeting off before the media can further speculate and he will be home for his child's birthday Thank goodness for time zones

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.

No it isn't. Not the slightest bit disrespectful. He is not invited to the get together afterwards so why on earth would he hang about?

He is doing exactly the right thing. Although quite obviously whatever he did would be wrong in some people's eyes.

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.

I agree that it is probably the best solution although I'm not massively into any of it tbh.

I do think the birthday is a red herring, lots of people miss birthdays, my XH missed about ten, both day and night, because of the nature of his job, a 24 or 48 hour shift including being on call and having to sleep at his workplace. It's no big deal to not celebrate a birthday in massive style on the day. I mean, how many kids have birthday dos at the weekend because they're at school and parents are at work during the week?

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

Au contraire I think that is the only credible thing about the whole story. Upper class using slang like that. Down with the kids innit

Why on earth would Harry tell Charles not to talk about his wife that way, if he said nothing?

He has a history for making mountains out of molehills and for hanging on to every perceived slight. It's another case of Harry casting aspersions but not saying what went on - his modus operandi, obviously.

You really do need to look at it another way. Bit like not naming who questioned baby's skin colour... it would have been catastrophic to name that person.

Ditto with this... what if it was really bad what Charles said? Look through a different lens for once. Would you really want Harry disclosing sharp and unpleasant words said by the King before the Coronation? I think he is holding his counsel.

Of course, this way you can call him a liar which is what you are doing.

Then why mention it at all. It's shit stirring on a grand scale. Make an airy accusation - someone was mean to them, don't say who, don't say how, cast everyone under suspicion. Say his father said bad things about Meghan but don't say what. So everyone assumes the absolute worst. It's like the drama llamas on Facebook with their 'you know who you are and what you said, pm me hun'.

I don't know if Harry is lying or exaggerating, but they do have history of hanging on to minor grievances and blowing them out of proportion.

We don't know what, if anything was said, but obviously notanotheroneagain believes it to have been heinous, so the damage is done. How about you look at it through a different lens for once - Harry cast half baked aspersions, watched the dirt stick. You can't make these sorts of statements and not be aware of the damage they do. It's a very mean way of doing things

Roussette · 22/04/2023 17:30

So they have to put up and shut up according to you then!

Not happening. Nor should it.

Samcro · 22/04/2023 17:32

Oh come on if Harry revealed what Charles said he would be ripped apart for that. He can’t win

Either put up and shut up or just come out with it. By insinuating things in the way they do, innocent people get hurt in the fallout. It's actually a very cowardly response.

I cannot tell you how much I disagree with this, and I explained why in my previous post.

Not cowardly at all. Just protecting them whilst being able to speak out. We will never agree so best left there.

As @Samcro says he would be annihilitated if he said

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?

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.

Winding a window down if you are in an armoured car really is a no-no

You only use one of those because there is a threat assessment that indicates you might be shot at. If a bullet gets inside the vehicle (eg through an open window) it will then ricochet round inside, causing considerable harm.

If not an armoured car, that does not apply, of course, because the bullet would be able to exit

Is this the same OP who seems obsessed with what the DM are saying about the RF? It’s very tiresome. I fail to see how Harry can attend a coronation in the U.K. and then fly back to California for a party before his sons bedtime myself. Is it even possible ?

Oh sorry. It’s the DB. Even worse.

Probably possible if you have access to a private jet?

Viviennemary · 23/04/2023 11:31

I wonder how Harry will bet here. Will he hitch a lift from Bidens wife. Will she travel on Airforce 1 or is that just if Biden is travelling too.

Roussette · 22/04/2023 07:30

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

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.

Very disturbing when it's put like that, certainly harassment and abuse on the media's part

polkadotdalmation · 23/04/2023 12:22

On this one Harry and Meghan are damned if they do and damned if they don't. However the whole situation is of their own making. Netflix, Oprah, Spare and countless interviews have made both their appearance at royal events untenable.

If they had just gone and done their charity and humanitarian work rather than trash both sides of the family, they would have been welcomed by the country and part of the royal family. Their choices were unfortunate for everyone concerned.

Basically, you sound like you are saying H&M must just take the flack without explaining that yes, bad things were said within the family and there was lack of support, that is why we are here now.

No need to say what the exact words were. But this way, we know it's more than just 'they did not like the bad publicity, that is why they left', and MN's favourite lie 'they did not like the job'.
