"As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist that I still come to be with you all instead of going to her."

He is referring to the Queen.

Is he saying this is why he is not at Balmoral with the rest of the RF? Is this what he means by "going to her"?

I think the question is more, didn’t he state that he killed 25 in Afghanistan, which in saying so put not just him but the British military in a great deal of danger?

Wow the comment above.
Never ceases to amaze me how pissed off English people are about Harry and Megan.

They haven't killed anyone or hung out with paedophiles for example, just have been a bit annoying and unrelatable (like the rest of their family)

He was still close friends with his uncle and he hung about with the same people they did he wasn't washed clean because he left the family

Good with children?

After everything he has put Archie through?

Telling the world Archie has racist grandparents that questioned his skin colour, and then taking it back nine months later! Dragging both kids away from both sides of the family, so that they have no extended family beyond Doria. Telling the world Megan was suicidal when she was pregnant with Archie so he will grow up wondering if he caused the issues for his mother. Calling their second child Lilibet to cash in on the connection. Selling their children’s childhood to the highest bidder by allowing them to be filmed despite knowing the dangers of this.

Bringing two innocent children into this unholy mess is NOT being good with children!

Show quote history

Doria has never put a foot wrong - good grandparent to pick if you just get to keep one.

Anyway, Archie can sell his story if he wants later down the line and let everyone know what he thinks. Harry won’t mind that - will encourage it, no doubt. Extra points if his fathering skills get a good drubbing.

I stand by my original point. Harry is good with children. He interacts with them very nicely and with enthusiasm.

Meghan realised Spare turned Harry into a toxic brand, so she needs to go her own way.

Most children with black heritage will have “the talk” at some point in their childhood - the conversations about skin colour would fit very well there.

The children should not be in contact with relatives who dress in black face, associate with people who deny their very existence, insinuate that their mother participated in sex work and who view a parental relationship as a transactional one (Markles). There has not been a severing with all extended family in the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (Windsor) wing.

Archie’s mother was very specific as to what made her feel suicidal so it is stretching the point to simply be cruel to say such an appalling thing.

It would be interesting to demonstrate how Lillibet’s name has been cashed in on.

Finally - there is so little video/photo evidence of the children available in public that there is a significant conspiracy that posits that the children are actually not real. Please show evidence as to when the children were sold off and for how much.

Yep - I will also exit stage left now.

Of course. Thanks for the correction. The Duke of Kent also was on the balcony for the Jubilee and Coronation so it was a silly mistake to make.

However, Prince and Princess Michael of Kent are definitely on the periphery.

Show quote history

Yes I agree with the rest of your post, very much on the periphery these days with the growing family of George VI. But let’s not forget that Prince Michael of Kent was a grandson of the king and 7th in line to the throne at birth, like Archie.

He just means she put duty first

IWillNoLie · 08/09/2023 09:05

I don’t think the Queen would have said “ignore the significance of the change of monarch and the importance of supporting this key institution and the feelings of the people of the UK and Commonwealth following the death of their Queen and Head of State, and go to a charities award ceremony as if none of that was happening”. Duty was very important to the Queen but so was the institution of the monarchy and she would have renown full well that a change to King Charles was a sensitive time, and paying respect to the departed was very important too.

DivingForLove · 08/09/2023 09:08

@2jacqi the whole RF are entitled wee shits. He fits right in.

MrsFinkelstein · 08/09/2023 09:09

To me it smacks of a way to remind everyone about his grandmother, and therefore who HE is. He's not a working Royal anymore (through choice), so very much a peripheral figure becoming more so as time passes, but it's the reason people know who he is so he needs to keep bringing it up.

Daisyislazy · 08/09/2023 09:17

He can't win with this , how could he do a public event at the time of his grandmothers anniversary and not mention her?

I'm not a huge fan but bloody hell some people over analyse everything he does just to find fault

Lastchancechica · 08/09/2023 07:26

Well Megan is not there again.
That stands out to me.
They have apparently agreed to have totally separate plans and PR.

The marriage is on the rocks and has been for some time. Harry is going to find himself high and dry soon, now he is close to his sell by date and has nothing left to ring out in terms of dollars or inside information. They have now lost the remaining US audience, so are fast running out of road. Megan is launching a new persona in the coming weeks, Gynnie style and it won’t be including Harry.

These photos speak volumes

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/09/02/harry-meghan-beyonce-doria-renaissance-concert/

Checked out doesn’t even cover it.

Wow, you gleaned a lot from a single picture. Marriage on the rocks etc.... Maybe that is some unpleasant wishful thinking on your behalf. I ponder the type of person who takes such glee in someone else's marriage, wishing it to fail. Says a lot about them if you ask me.

he just thinks they will all jump because he comes over but he does not want to come over to speak to them!

its this kind of ridiculous statement that really makes me laugh. Where on earth do you get this nonsense from? Harry left them. Theres nothing to indicate that he is the one wanting to see them.

Edited

Why would he need to remind everyone who he is? he may not be working for the firm, but does that make her not his grandmother? he wasn't there last year because of her passing so it would be weird of him not to mention it at all.
People talk as if the royal family is a club he is no longer part of. He is the son of the King, whether he remains in the firm taking tax payer money, or not. Whether he speaks to him, or not. That is who he is by birth and your dislike of him won't change that. Ever.

BreakTheChain · 08/09/2023 10:31

Taken as a snippet from the full quote it could mean a lot of things but in context of the whole quote its pretty self explanatory. Why only provide a couple of sentences?

"As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year when my grandmother passed away,” he told those gathered for the annual event at The Hurlingham Club in south-west London on Thursday evening.
“As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist I still come to be with you all instead of going to her and that’s precisely why I know, exactly one year on, that she is looking down on all of us tonight, happy we’re continuing to spotlight such an incredible community"

Archie is a toddler why on earth would it be ever necessary to have s discussion beyond celebrating his mixed heritage, and sharing with him their family history in an age appropriate way?? There is simply no need. To have an accusation of racism hitting every global headline for months on end - how is that in any way helpful to the child?? Even if it was true, which it appears it isn’t!

They have severed contact with everyone including Megan’s family apart from Doria, leaving them with no extended family at all.

Speaking globally that you felt suicidal whilst pregnant is not fair to the child. It just isn’t.

Clearly using the name Lilibet will remind the world that they have connection to the greatest monarch of modern times, so it’s clear the advantages of that!

Just tape in Archie’s name into google and the evidence is all there. Despite the assertion they wanted privacy above all else. What a joke.

They are hypocritical, they are liars and they are now busy ruining their children’s lives in my view. Why leave this toxic legacy to your poor kids that didn’t ask for any of this!
