Why is Harry coming to the coronation at all?

He's apparently not going to see his father and he's just flying in an out, leaving immediately after the ceremony to rush back to California. I know it's nice to be at your kid's birthday party, but FFS this is his father's coronation, a day he's been waiting for his whole life. So Harry is flying all the way over here, no doubt burning up the planet on a fucking private jet, and all for what? To be seen to be there? What for? What a waste of time. If he's not even going to celebrate with his family I don't know why he doesn't just stay in California, since that's clearly where he'd rather be. I don't understand why he's coming at all.

They are all raised like that. It is not a great system and one would think they learn by experience. Andrew sold influence, contacts, dinners, weekends in Balmoral with the Queen etc. His wife did the same. Sophie was at it too for a while as was Edward.

Unless they raise their offspring to be self sustaining and independant you will always get this state of affairs.

It is clearly an unhealthy to have all those grown people subject to favour from the Monarch in order to survive.

Don’t you know it only bad when Harry does it?

But we get stories. All. The. Time. 40a dayaccording to@Roussette. The stories are almost entirely negative when about the Sussex Two, but almost entirely positive about everyone else

Yes @4plusthehound

In case that is doubted, here it is

And not ONE detractor of H&M has said that is wrong or criticised it. That tells you something doesn't it...

Some middle of the road people who are neither here nor there, have thought it appalling, but no one who is anti Meghan has thought it bad. And bear in mind the 40 in 24hrs was before she showed her face but once this year.

I can't speak for other people but I have fallen for the clickbait which has helped created the monster that is the factory of tabloid stories about H&M. I still don't like them but I only read about them on here now.

Good news to anyone else who might click without thinking- you can learn to not mindlessly click on the clickbait like I did. H&M aren't the only topic I did this with but I think it's better for my brain to be more conscious about my clicks.

You don't need to watch the whole thing g to realise it's just a tiny molehill they're prattling on about, like it's the next Diana, when in actual fact there has been a huge change in the ways journalists work because of Diana ... rightly so... but they're trying to frame themselves into this now ... no doubt trying to make Megs the 'new Diana' 🙄 and the new revolutionary RF they so want to be ... except it's all preaching and not actually doing-it themselves of course ... just desparate for elevation for idiots to pay the money for their woke ramblings and garbage speak about the next world issue they've decided to jump into the band wagon ... to make a fast buck and again elevate themselves with

In the early days of their relationship Harry would seriously give the impression he wouldn’t be happy until his wife died in a pap chase car crash so he could point the finger and say I told you so! 😵‍💫😯

Sudeko · 26/04/2023 18:24

Meghan has never, ever been pap chased like Diana and not half as much as Kate. They tend to do it if you are liked and they never especially liked her. She has had the horrible press but the two are different issues.

Harry is extremely keen to maintain differently because pap chasing strangely signals both the worst and the best things about the public's attitude towards you. He wants to create the impression that they all wanted a piece of her while she was running the other way when the truth is that she was using deep fakes and pasted audiences to create the impression to demonstrate that she had something in common with his mother (has happened repeatedly).

Whaeanui · 26/04/2023 18:33

Honestly this is a new low. He wanted his wife to die now? What a sick suggestion.

He’s a sick man. The amount of times he went on about the same thing was going to happen to his wife was ridiculous and cringeworthy. I’d have told him to shut up about it if I was her.

None of them made a career out of slagging off the rf and airing a load of private conversations and 'truths'.

Show quote history

There is not much difference though.

The larger point being that MOST of the immediate family have done stuff for money that raises eyebrows.

Surely it shows a need to raise the “extras” to have their own means.

An all powerful matriarch or patriarch who doles out the money on their whim seems like a terrible idea in this day and age.

The Last time I saw it was in the netflix series.There was footage of Kate being yelled at by photographers who screamed out vulgar obscenities at her, in order to get her to turn around so they could get a proper, publishable picture of her.

How dare M&H use footage of Kate being harrassed when they both slagged her off in books and the netflix series itself. And yes i watched every blooming second of the series. Hypocrites

They prove his point though.

There are a few posters that are nasty and agressive.

I see them come when the threads are having reasoned, interesting discussions about the Royal family and its role in a modern society.

The deeper the discussion the more these posters “panic” and the lower they go.

I wonder why they panic?

I also wonder why they need to shut down really interesting discussions about democracy, civil society, the media, our future, financial disclosure for elites and unelected heads of state.

I wonder if they have skin in the game or earn a penny on the back of it?

I have to say, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that Harry would wish for his wife's death just to prove a point. It's such an unusual and concerning thought process.

poppysockies · 26/04/2023 19:35

I don’t think anyone believes Harry would want his wife to die. Presumably what the poster was referring to was Harry saying that he didn’t want to let the paps that killed his mother kill his wife too

To suggest that was hyperbolic & also untrue.

I was searching for the exact quote just now, I didn’t find it but did find this interesting article about Harry’s views of the media & Diana’s death

You can see why Harry dislikes the tabloid press – but they didn’t cause Diana’s death | Prince Harry | The Guardian

The Duke of Sussex was wrong to say in his ITV interview that his mother died as a direct result of the paparazzi’s actions
