Harry “is willing to return to a temporary royal role in support of his father during his illness, sources have revealed. In an attempt to help heal the rift in the family, the King and Prince Harry are said to have had several “warm ­exchanges” since Charles ­received his cancer diagnosis.
The duke is now understood to have told friends that he would step into a royal role while his father is unwell.”

i really think all this stuff is just there so no one looks at where William is

Why, what do you think he's up to? and why do we need to look at where he is?

It's strange, isn't it? Always a conspiracy!

If you have doctors in the family, they will easily come up with procedures that take c.10 days in hospital and up to c.3 months recovery, and the same couple will head the list of obvious possible procedures.

It might not be that common (in the sense of number of cases a year) but it is in the sense that it's something that crops up and can be successfully treated.

Yes I have doctors in the immediate family and I have to say that they and their friends are fairly mystified about what the procedure might have been. They've come up collectively with a very narrow range of possibilities, certainly not a long list.

But the possibilities focus more on the long stay in hospital as opposed to the incredibly long recovery period - that bit stretched the imagination a bit.

I don't agree with having Royals in any part of the world at this time and age.

However, if you look at it differently, they are a family like any other with conflicts, resentment, love, etc... and unfortunately Harry has betrayed his family's trust. I have had many disagreements, arguments with my brother, sister and mother and would never go and tell others their secrets or speak about them to others that are not close family members. Charles may be able to forgive him because he's sick and is his son but it's something very hard to ask if William, how could they ever trust that he won't be selling their new conversations to the press?

Don't be fooled his family are in cahoots they have read the book before it's publication. His family aren't as stupid as they look they understand. Unless you hear it from his family then other sources from newspapers isn't good enough.

He is doing plenty of his own gaslighting.
I'm not sure if he fully understands the term.

Ah I think he'll be wised up on all the tricks! The gaslighting, projections, and love bombing, hoooovers .. stone walling ...grey rocking and yellow rocking.

I would hope he can hussle a bit himself.

I Very much doubt Harry wants to come back, but no doubt he will want to support his dad. its so annoying to see all this being made in to such a big thing.

No idea where William is right at this moment however he will be at the BAFTAs tonight if you are interested ?

And the "oiling" referred to Charles running to and fro from the gulf - trips which vastly outnumbered those to the Commonwealth they're supposed to head - and doubtless the flogging of the knightood to the Saudi Mahfooz will have helped fill the coffers

Blame the Foreign Office for that, not Charles. All their official travel is at the behest of the Government, and in line with the government’s priorities, not their own.

You're not wrong, Serenster, though I woulddn't want to be in the possition of refusing Charles a visit if he was pushing for it himself

However I was thinking more of the "off agenda" opportunities on offer, such as those conveniently funnelled through Fawcett, the private interests tacked onto official visits and so on; after all I don't imagine the Foreign Office directed that flogging titles be part of the gameplan - though frankly who knows

Which untrue stories about H&M did the RF deliberately leak to the Press?

We never get the answers to this from the H&M supporters no matter how many times they are asked we just get a lot of noise about ‘betrayal’ etc. and nothing else. Which stories about H&M are untrue? @Inkanta @notthatthis They are litigious so anything printed that was untrue would be in court by now so once again please can you list the untrue stores leaked by the royal family?

Mylovelygreendress · 18/02/2024 12:00

@BigWillyLittleTodger ( love the name😂) . Agree and wonder if I will receive any answers to my question posed at 11.18 ?
Off out so we shall see …..

No.

Harry said that the family itself were responsible for negative and false stories being released to the press. The betrayal was real. Betrayal is a behaviour from people we trust.

MrsFinkelstein · 18/02/2024 09:39

The Times said "The Duke of Sussex was approached for comment", then "Buckingham Palace declined to comment".

The Sussex camp spoke to them, the Palace didn't. They would have said both declined if neither spoke to them.

That's how you know who talks to them. And it clearly wsnt the Palace.

Edited

That makes sense MrsF, though it doesn't say Harry did comment, only that he was approached

Perhaps he wanted it kept off the record so they left it at that, but I'm always a bit dubious unless someone's quoted directly

so thats it.
what else has he done since he came back? that and an investiture is all I have seen.

If that was the case, then you would hope he had indeed wised up because anyone who has been in that sort of relationship dynamic once would certainly not want to put themselves through it a second time surely? 😉

Maireas · 18/02/2024 12:13

Harry wrote a lot in Spare that was quite shocking - I think if anyone in the RF had wanted to "leak" there was plenty of juicy material. They didn't. They spun quite good PR about him, given what we now know.

Since he became PoW he has also taken over the running of the Duchy of Cornwall. Yes of course he will have staff to help with that but he still has overall responsibility and has had to get to grips with that. Press reports today that The Duchy is building housing to help with the homelessness crisis in Cornwall so no doubt he has been involved in that too given his interest in Homelessness.

Thought as much! I rest my case.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 18/02/2024 11:15

It would take William and all three Wales children to be wiped out for Harry to become king. Given they’ll no longer be travelling together there’s the tiniest chance of Harry becoming king.

Archie and Lilibet are after Harry. Then Andrew.

This is ridiculous really, isn't it? How can a non working Royal ascend to the throne? 😂Steps need to be taken.

It would never happen. Remember that Parliament is sovereign. No way would Harry or Andrew get anywhere near....

caringcarer · 18/02/2024 12:21

It won't happen. The late Queen Elizabeth said no half in half out and King Charles won't go against what was decided with his Mum and William. Nothing has changed because Harry still has commercial interests in the US.

He’s resuming duties this week, isnt he? After the children’s half term. Which is what was announced. It’s only Sunday, give him a chance! 😆

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/02/2024 12:23

For those asking "Where's William?" I just checked the Court Circular from now until the end of June and no engagements come up - ditto for Camilla, so I'm not sure what happened to "she'll be stepping up"

In fact the only ones working seem to be Edward and Sophie, Anne and a few engagements for the Gloucesters

Well, he'd know all about that.
