So Harry flew for 11 hours and then spoke to his father for 45 minutes ? Charles then bobbed to Sandringham by helicopter and Harry checked into a hotel. I mean wouldn't you think Harry would have gone to Sandringham with Charles maybe ?

@Janetime no the inference here if you read back is Harry does what Meghan tells him.

Which posts do you mean?

Right thing by whom?

FFS - his father.

@Springcleaninginsummer the royals have never cared about their carbon footprint so that wouldn’t have been a consideration 🙄

Couldn't Beatrice or Eugenie have offered him a bed for the night. Some cousins they are.

Seems less concern for the king in a lot of these comments and a lot of " let's have another bash at Meghan " .. I wonder why she gets so much vitriol .. hmm .. can't think of what would single her out ?!!

Because she's an attention seeking, lying, narcissist - that's why I don't like her. No other reason (and certainly not the one I assume you were insinuating)

Is my app glitching, I've not seen any comments about Meghan on this thread. Yours is the first. It's all been about Harry.

belvitas · 07/02/2024 08:02

unsurprisingly , after netflix,
oprah and "spare" defamed his family in the most hideous way possible, none of the royals want very much to do with him.
If the same had happened to any of you,
you'd do the same. Never speak to
him again. Boundaries.

Amusingly your post above is the very first mention of Meghan on this whole thread. Transparent.

Think you’re the only person getting that inference, if you want to chat Megan, start your own thread? She’s irrelevant here.

For goodness sake he came to see his Dad ! Many of us who have ambivalent relationships with our fathers would relate -

I don’t because you need to look at context. This is cancer caught early, he’s just had his first treatment and he’s the king, so public concern.

harry playing the family saviour and rushing over makes some folks think this is way more serious than it is. I’m absolutely sure due to the 45 min meeting that Charles said to him it’s fine, come over in a month with the kids, don’t rush over, the optics are bad.

and the ludicrous police escort ,he got more security that the king himself did.

its guaranteed this is just more of harry being an utter twat and making it about Harry.

Lockupyourbiscuits · 07/02/2024 08:09

We’ve all seen the unpleasant, selfish sibling who spends their life moaning about their lot ( that they have created) and putting themselves first
They love a bit of drama - swoop in with a grand gesture do F - all then piss off again
its actually quite sad for elderly parents who are normally pathetically happy to see them while the other siblings do all the work

EasternStandard · 07/02/2024 08:10

I don’t mind a monarchy but the breaking news Harry flying over etc and visiting who makes me think of Succession, a British RF version

You're the first person to mention Meghan though

AdventuresInDogDayCare · 07/02/2024 08:13

Why do people pretend like they know what’s going on? Harry may yet spend lots of time with his father if he’s staying or he may not see him again. He may have been asked to come or not. He may be being dramatic or it may be Charles has been given weeks to live. Maybe Charles is racist, maybe not. We have no clue about any of it.

why are you going on about Meghan nobody is talking about meghan. Prince Harry is a grown albeit petulant man who can make his own decisions and mistakes.

Tell me you can't read a room without telling me you can't read a room.

Kinneddar · 07/02/2024 08:17

William needs to build a bridge - how can he be King if he can't be the bigger person in this scenario

After the things Harry has said about both William & Catherine, why on earth should he. Plus you'd never be able to relax in Harry's company wondering if your conversation - or a variation of it - was going to be repeated on TV or another book. The trust will be gone

@doubleshotcappuccino (cappuccinos have 2 shots, does your username mean doubling that?)
Why invent something to chastise posters about? 😄

MissTrip82 · 07/02/2024 08:22

I’m a migrant on the other side of the world. These situations are the worst when you’re so far away. If I had the cash I’d drop everything and fly straight away too. Because I have a job and funds that actually do have a limit, when we get bad news as a family we have to work out when we’re going to fly back and for how long. For us, the deciding factor has usually been when the person will need the most care/support. Because we’re limited.

i can’t imagine feeling annoyed that someone else isn’t so constrained.

ohtowinthelottery · 07/02/2024 08:22

The Royal Correspondents on tv this morning are playing it down. Apparently the press release claimed The King was tired after a procedure the day before. He had clearly already planned to return to Sandringham (where he had been at the weekend) and the helicopter needed to fly in daylight?
I should imagine Harry was pretty tired too after long flight and with the time difference!

Tiddlywinks63 · 07/02/2024 08:23

He probably came to make sure that Charles ‘has the right people around him’ as he did for the late Queen.
It smacks of attention seeking to me, probably needs more content for his next book/interview / whatever?

he's an absolute tool.

HairyToity · 07/02/2024 07:35

I think he got the snub.

I think Harry getting on a plane within hours was quite dramatic and Charles is trying to play it down. I couldn't help but think he should have asked his dad when suited for him to travel, and been slightly less hasty.

Or just face timed him.

Janetime · 07/02/2024 08:28

I imagine Harry rushing over and the media focus was the last thing Charles wanted right now, he’s literally made his father’s illness about him. He could Easily habe planned to come over in a few months . Bring the kids, not made this about his cancer and harry being the Knight in shining armour doing the mercy dash.

it’s just constant idiocy.
