👏👏Well done @Nightlystroll you were indeed correct on the Archewell issue and I do like the cut of you jib😊.

Thank you. As I said, it doesn't really matter as long as they're doing something for charity, which I respect them for, but it just grates when people keep explaining things away by saying it's a private foundation when it's not.

I think Meghan looks like the cat that’s got the cream. Initially I believe she made the mistake of thinking the rf were trillionaires in terms of liquidity, and didn’t realise that you couldn’t bling your way round the world meeting celebrities but instead had to do the dull old duty thing six paces behind William &Kate as well as visit community centres in Rochdale wearing previously worn outfits.

The journey has been a bit circuitous, but she is now Very Famous, and none of that would have been possible had she not married a Prince. Supporters never acknowledge this. However attractive and clever she is, and all-round wonderful her endeavours, she would not be where she is today without Harry.

Now, Harry…. I don’t think his star is in the ascendency. He doesn’t know what he is doing. He is Mr Sponge, soaking up Meghan’s preferred life. I would feel sorry for him, but he is an entitled, weak, greedy weasel.

Where?

Your post is interesting. Of course marrying a Prince has changed her life, and highlighted her. The same as Sarah Ferguson, Catherine Middleton, and every other married in. I acknowledge it if you acknowledge it's the same for Sarah and Catherine too.

Not sure why it would be any different for Meghan but you obviously resent this fact for her.

Mr and Mrs Wormwood 😂😂😂

LadyMuckingabout · 04/05/2023 10:09

Of course it’s the same for some other married-ins (here we go with the whataboutery -yawn).

But the Supporters talk as if she were this future world leader and icon before and aside from Prince Harry. She made a career move marrying him.

And, for the millionth time, Sussex Royal !!!!! She was doing the royal thing for all it was worth, not forging some pious, independent path.

Ahh you seem to know their innermost thoughts! No love involved then, just a career move.

I don't think of her as a future world leader lol. Far from it.

Ummmm... yawn... ditto

Gosh, so much venom for people you don't know, never will and don't make an ounce of difference to your, presumably sad, lives.

I don't think she'sa world leader. Just a human with flaws who does't deserve the vitiol she gets.

Of course she’s very famous - she’s an American biracial actress who married into the British royal family - I mean come on that’s what the rest interest is. I certainly do not think of Meghan as a future world leader and I don’t think she was an icon before or since she met Harry.

I do think that she had an established charity credentials way before she met Harry and don’t understand why many people want to minimise this.

Show quote history

The Cambridges and the Sussexes split households then they spilt from the Royal Foundation. After this - the Sussexes wanted an independent identity for themselves. I think that the idea of Sussex Royal was a good one (you can see the direction of travel in their incorporation papers in 2019) - however once it became apparent that they were going to have to leave they couldn’t use this framework as a commercial enterprise.

Few people are aware that before the Sussexes were advised to trademark Sussex Royal - a man in Malta had attempted to trademark hundreds of items using this name and fell foul of intellectual property law (Royal) which ultimately they themselves fell foul of when the Queen and the government refused consent for the use of the name. It was certainly churlish of them to raise the point that the UK government’s jurisdiction does not extend to other countries when told of this decision and I think I’ll advised but it was good that they agreed not to. But notice I said they - I feel that Harry was driving this more than Meghan. People forget that Harry was looking for a way out since way before he met Meghan (listen to his interviews) and the princes were both known for their tempers as reported directly by Harry in his memoir and by other book writers.

I agree @Rockybooboo

Roussette · 04/05/2023 13:02

I so agree with this. Harry was a square peg in a round hole for years in the RF way before Meghan came along. He spoke of it in interviews many times, he was the third wheel to Kate and William.... it was all fun for them when that was the case, lots of laughter, but then along comes his own soulmate, a strong woman who knows the ways of the world, and it all changed.

She showed him that there can be another way. He doesn't have to live like this at all, unhappy, unfilfilled, resentful etc.

And the rest is history

Except he still is unhappy unfulfilled and resentful

Rockybooboo · 04/05/2023 13:24

How do you know this? He's got two beautiful children, lives a big house with amazing weather. What do you think he's missing?

You think.

I don't think that.

A gorgeous wife, two adorable children, happy happy happy. #

Unresolved issued with his family, yes. Lots of people have those, just look at the threads on MN !

Another thing that comes across is how things that should be considered positive - stopping smoking, being healthier - eating better and increasing exercise, being more aware of the world and your place in it - were and are categorically classified as negative when it comes to how Harry has changed since he has been with Meghan - it’s behind the sneering of the California lifestyle.

I certainly think that he’s healthier and fulfilled by at least his two children who I would be surprised if they didn’t make him happy. He doesn’t appear resentful of his life currently to me but definitely resentful of the press and the firm.

Roussette · 04/05/2023 13:58

Yes I agree @skullbabe

I bet he leads a very healthy lifestyle along with Meghan. To me he looks as happy as Larry, even at the court case he looked relaxed and happy. Of course that fact will upset some. He's got a lot of resentment for how it's been in the past, and personally I don't blame him. We know the Monarchy comes before relationships, children, love, family... the lot. All of those are sacrificed on the altar of keeping the Monarchy intact and popular with the public... although that is getting more and more difficult.
That was never going to be for him long term, hence him leaving.

Nightlystroll · 04/05/2023 15:08

It's clear he loves his wife (I don't understand the talk of divorce) and obviously his children. He lives in a lovely house in a lovely climate. Hes financially secure. So I think he's happy in that way. And if he hadn't done these documentaries, interviews and book, I'd think he was happy. He really does have it all.
But it's clear in the interviews he gave on his book tour that he's angry. That this public outpouring in his book had not been cathartic at all. He was asked pre-approved questions, that he'll have rehearsed, in pretty sycophantic interviews where he got an easy ride. But if he even slightly challenged, you could see in his face and body language that he was angry, as he struggled to shut down that line of questioning. And from his book and his documentary, you can see that anger constantly showing in his resentfulness and his expressions of being hard done by. And, to be fair to him, he admits to be still doing a lot of therapies.
So although he looks and speaks like he has it all, he has a myriad of issues, exacerbated by his complete lack of self-awareness. That anger, which in the past he tried to manage with alcohol and drugs, isn't resolved. If he was the sort of man who could just live in the present and enjoy what he has, I'd agree that he's happy. But he's not. He's a man that overdwells on everything. That never let's an even unintentional slight go. People like him aren't happy because they're too busy trying to fight battles in the past that others have moved on from and don't want to engage over. He won't ever get the resolution that he wants because he'll always be moving the goalposts so it can't truly be achieved. Hopefully, his therapists will teach him to move on, but some people just can never let go because it's a comfortable place for them. But until he does, he's definitely not a happy man.

Isnt his anger aimed at the press? They've treated his wife attrotiously and still do.

notanotheroneagain · 04/05/2023 15:31

He is happy.

The palace has decided to go on as usual with their 'palace source'. He is challenging that because he wants his brother and father back. That is what he is fighting.

The palace simply has to change the way they are doing things.

skullbabe · 04/05/2023 15:49

Harry was repeatedly told to be quiet in the face of what he felt was years of unfair treatment and consistently shut down or silenced. He has been free so to speak for three years - he is finally able to speak out, and consistently people feel that he is not working through his anger and his hurt quick enough or quietly enough or they don’t feel as if his feelings are valid. Of course he’s angry. Of course he’s upset. It will take time for him to get over it - I suspect he’s already somewhat there seeing as he’s going to be here in a couple of days.
