Yes unfortunately Harry has managed to
make this all about himself again. I’m glad he wants to see his father and maybe he thinks this is a good opportunity to see him when it isn’t a state occasion. However, on much of the news yesterday, he was mentioned as flying over. Why is his visit so important that it needs announcing? I’m sure he’s far from the only person concerned for the King. I don’t like to be cynical about his motives but unfortunately he has form. Also he managed not to see the late Queen before she died even though he was in the UK and the cynic in me can’t help thinking that some of his motivation is not to do the same thing twice (although I don’t think the King is anywhere near close to dying)

I have no idea if Scobie tweeted before it hit the news media (people magazine etc), but it’s the stories about Harry, and the posts on here about Harry, that is making this about Harry.

Just about every Royal Story somehow or other ends up being about Harry and/or Meghan.

Well @LittleTeawithmilk1 why do you think that might be? Could it be that they and their friends have spent the last 3 years monetising their petty grievances against and throwing unsubstantiated and serious accusations at the RF in all manner of media vehicles; whilst building a public profile for themselves based solely upon their royal connections to a family they purport to revile because they have nothing else to give? Or do you think everyone is looking at them for no reason whatsoever?

It still doesn’t change that nearly every royal story ends up somehow being about Harry and/or Meghan.

People are making a choice. If people stopped reading and commenting, the media would stop publishing.

Harry and Meghan are like a carcrash that people can help but glance across at.

Spot on @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar
bloody well said.

👏👏👏👏

Bravo 👏 @Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar!
I had to scold and point out to some posters last night , the ghoulish and frankly disgusting " king Harry and queen Meghan , bring it on " posts, were basically , wishing the death of Charles , William and the three children!

That is indeed generous, though maybe a little over-optimistic?
It also leaves out William's possible take on things, which we can't know but which is likely to be significant as he moves closer to the throne

As for Scobie, I thought he said he was giving up royal commentary after the latest book nosedived (?) but I doubt anyone will be surprised if further news about Charles makes its way to him

Fucking he’ll, Jeff, I have had to sit on my hands to resist replying to that hypocrite.

I’d love to be pointed to the statements made by spokespeople for other royal family members telling us they are planning/have already been to see Charles following his diagnosis.

If you’ve seen them(because I’ve only seen the one, from Harry) please do share them.

(People issues statements directly to the press because they want to be written about).

Why is his visit so important that it needs announcing?

Equally, why has nobody else publicised their intention to visit?

Maybe - just maybe - they feel it's more appropriate to arrange these things privately, and that announcing them simply isn't necessary?

I was interested to see a photo of Beatrice and Edo leaving Clarence House this morning. Wonder if she might have been asked to step up while the King is receiving treatment?

@Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar , tell me about it!!!
I was reading it ..... both fingers in ears , going la,la,la,la,la and I'm still raging 😤, the only reason I'm not commenting is because I know it will be an expletive laden explosion worthy of deleting!

@ArcaneWireless 🌱!
@SheriffofRottingham, when your right your right!!!
The display of utter hypocrisy is something to behold!
How can people be so unable to realise their own behaviour?
🤷‍♀️

Now , now !! Nowt wrong with crows ! 🐦‍⬛ very intelligent creatures ( unlike some I could mention!)

I think it would be a sensible move for H&M to disassociate themselves from OS.

I don’t think their association has done them any favours.

Your right arc! , however horses and stable doors come to mind!
