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.

But why would you want him to? He's going to the church and might join in the coronation procession (not sure if non working royals will have roles here). The Queen limited the balcony to working royals on the last Jubilee so he wasn't going to be there for that part. He'll have attended for his Dad at the important bit and won't have much to say for everyone after the balcony - so why again I don't get why he needs to stay for the whole day? He wasn't at the last concert held for the Jubilee so again probably wasn't going to stay for the coronation concert.

OMG can you imagine how opulent the ceremonial procession will be? Can't wait now!

skullbabe · 27/04/2023 17:39

But to the topic on hand - I think there is no William's friend for this article - it's pure conjecture because this is not a diss. Harry's visit plays the right tone - attends the important bit and ducks out for the social bit. The brothers have not been ok for years now so why would he even be there and his cousins will have lots of other things to be dealing with without having to play peace-makers and so this is the best outcome all round.

@skullbabe I don't want him to attend at all.
I'd rather he stay in California and stop trying to petulantly undermine his father's big day.

Harry is hardly going to undermine the day - the day is about Charles and the coronation. Harry will barely rate - take comfort in that.

Blip · 27/04/2023 23:57

He's already undermining things by firing potshots from montecito right before the coronation.

The good thing is that Charles doesn’t believe so - so great news. Looking forward to the church and procession - wonder which tiara Kate will wear and what Camilla will wear.

VivienneDelacroix · 28/04/2023 01:17

A forty year-old man used the term "massive diss"? Good grief the aristos trying to prove how cool they are is embarrassing. William's friends aren't known for being very nice people ("Doors to manual") so I'm not surprised one wants to stir this up too.

His being their won't affect you in the slightest, why would you "not want him to attend at all"?

He can't please everyone OP. If he had stayed longer it would have been a different problem.

2 days - 3 days, 1 week. He has a life elsewhere now, so is popping back for the family event.

Going back early for your sons birthday is a very good reason. He is here for the main event, that is good enough!

H&M should continue to do what works for their family.

I quite agree.

I honestly think 'friends of....' should keep shtum. They are as bad as, 'sources close to'.

Presumably Prince Harry is arriving a couple of days before the coronation so will have time to see some folk.

James Corden might be able to fit him in

Inkanta · 28/04/2023 06:16

Glad it will be low key and Harry will come to the ceremony then return to his family. Expect he will be back and forth to the UK generally - like when attending the court case and he'll see friends and family as he wants to. I hope for his sake he can stay under the radar and have some peace.

Livingwitheyesclosed · 28/04/2023 06:58

It’s the best thing all round that Harry appears for the main event then quietly ( we hope) disappears. Hopefully he won’t be expected at any family events now for years to come and he’ll finally shut up and stop his whining.

LlynTegid · 28/04/2023 07:02

The so-called friend of the Prince of Wales (William) has not moved on. The only time this century I have heard the word 'diss' is the announcer at Liverpool Street rail station.

We live in hope 😁

These threads are sooo annoying with people so desperate to believe that everything about William and Kate is 'good' and everything about H&M is 'bad' isn't it more likely that there is a bit of good and bad in both

Just look at your own families and in-law relationships, do you always get on? If there was a golden child vs scapegoat dynamic between the siblings, if married to the scapegoat would you not consider ways to lessen the impact on your own mental health and children?

Women daily come on here talking about unsupportive DH's or abusive in-laws and having to spend time with them at family events etc and are always advised they have a DH problem, that their husbands should be protecting them etc yet why is it different for H&M?

Yes they spoke publicly about the dysfunctions in the RF which the British public feel is 'disloyal' as we prefer to believe that the RF are perfect human beings who are always kind, look lovely and a close unit, but reality is likely to be far from this, the role of the RF is to protect itself at all cost , that is why they have taken against Harry speaking out!

How do we know that W&K are always blissfully happy together, that none of them have mental health or anger issues, an eating disorder etc? People are just people so let's stop putting one set of people on a pinnacle at the expense of another set

People getting so defensive of people they really don't know just what is reported by the 'trusted' media who obviously thrive on selling scandalous news stories as part of their click bait agenda

As you were...

Pedestal not pinnacle *

Roussette · 28/04/2023 09:07

Great post @Tobie

I agree, none of us are perfect and being flawed is part of living within the Inst

8roses · 28/04/2023 09:12

The difference being that most people don’t believe a word they say. We’ve had ‘recollections may vary’ Harry’s excuses about his poor memory, the lies to the Court in the letter case, backtracking on racism after 18 months and now the Judge’s comments this week. They have no credibility, especially him.

Roussette · 28/04/2023 09:13

Ooops, my post cut off..

...part of living within the Institution. It must fuck you up, whether that is Kate, Harry or William. It's no way to live a life.

8roses · 28/04/2023 09:16

‘It's no way to live a life’

A tad judgmental - who are you to say that. Catherine and William looked pretty content abseiling with the mountain rescues service and enjoying pizzas with them afterwards. Despite fending off questions about Harry which would test the patience of a saint.
The only royal who looks consistently angry and pissed off is Harry.

Roussette · 28/04/2023 09:22

A person on a discussion forum with an opinion, that is non judgemental but just an opinion

Your opinion on Harry is judgemental if you want to start throwing that around.

I think he's very happy.

poppysockies · 28/04/2023 09:28

Yep!

8roses · 28/04/2023 09:37

Maybe someone might look at my life and say it was no way to live - that would be judgmental no? What’s the difference?

'These threads are sooo annoying with people so desperate to believe that everything about William and Kate is 'good' and everything about H&M is 'bad' isn't it more likely that there is a bit of good and bad in both'

It works both ways - William is regularly described on here as angry, peevish, petty, lazy, a cheater, leaks stories to the press about his brother (despite being asked which stories many times, no-one's been able to come up with an answer), Kate has been described as bitter, brittle, having a rod up her arse, a resting bitch face, gurning, jealous etc etc.

It's sooooo annoying with people desperate to believe everything about Harry and Meghan is 'good' and everything about K&W is 'bad'.

A poster is dropping the phrase 'Harry is worth many kings' or somesuch on every thread at the moment which tbh I find weird and hilarious in equal measure.

You're right in the sense that there is more nuance than good v bad but to suggest it's all one way traffic is frankly ridiculous.
