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.”

A flounce kind of minimises how it was. Meghan in the documentary said, " I wasn't been thrown to the wolves - I was fed to the wolves" She also experienced suicidal ideation. The stories in the press were horrible at the time (and still are).

The reports in the press at the time were not horrible - there were one or two tone deaf / racist headlines, one or two famous personalities making racist jokes (Danny Baker) among several hundreds of positive glowing press coverage.

What was terrible was the comments sections and social media where all the really nasty stuff was being written. The newspapers technically could have shut that down by closing all comments for articles about Meghan but they don’t do that for anyone (bar court cases in case of contempt of court).

The royal family hired extra staff to try to contain the worst comments on their own social media accounts.

Actually, it was the rock-star reception they received from the British public everywhere they went that fuelled their unfortunate and mistaken belief that they were truly A-listers, and would carry that adulation with them if they walked away fro the Royals.

Yes, of course!
If a downfall happens it's all going to be our fault because the people of the U.K. showed them too much support and goodwill when they got married.😁. That would certainly fit with their zero accountability/blame mentality.

Neither does Mumsnet or the dailyfail honestly I gave up reading that paper and their vile comments.
"Harry lost his mind"
"Harry is the weak one and Meghan is manipulative"
"How can Harry do that to his family"
The list goes on and on its ridiculous reading it. It's all a load of tosh. I might give up on Mumsnet soon a thread was created about plasters and a poster and then a few others couldn't help but bring Meghan into it and it's not about her.

Where did you source these quotes? And anyway so what if your quotes were said in the newspapers? They are opinions on public figures responding to their behaviour, actions and their own words. Do you really believe no one is allowed to have an opinion unless it’s a glowing one on all public figures? or do you only reserve that right for Harry and Meghan? Are you based in North Korea?

What stories in the British press please? I keep asking you and you refuse to post which stories.

Read my other post darling I already commented about what you posted.

Which doubtless explains why the headlines had to be faked for Oprah - and even then many weren't UK headlines

I do recall a post on Twitter last year about how mean the UK had been over the wedding. I'm not sure how £ 20mm stacks up as 'mean,' but clearly some people have higher standards than me when it comes to public generosity.

You can just see it on the Relationship board, can't you? 'DH's family spent too much money on our wedding, AWBU to flee the country and have nothing to do with them?'

Andrew is worse but you don't see the same vile printed about him. That's what I am saying maybe the press used them as a scapegoat and the public sheep followed them.

You’ve got to be kidding me - the mainstream press has had a field day with Andrew and his terrible antics.

Social media is also a lot less polarized on him with comments being mostly totally negative (unlike Harry and Meghan who have quite a lot of support on social media alongside the extreme hater stuff)

It's on Mumsnet and if you can look in old paper articles online and their comments about Harry and Meghan you will see it. Google is easy to use it's a helpful tool in helping you to find information you want.

Do we have the full Bingo card now?, but Andrew!, but Andrew! 😱Please link the glowing press reports on him, would love a read.

I have a question for the H and M supporters who have been vocal about how brave/ right they were to “ flee” the RF .
If - and it’s a huge if- there is any truth in the rumour that H wants back in the royal fold , how would then view your brave warrior ? After all he has stated how awful it was , how toxic the family is , his horrible SM , his archenemies DB , his unwelcoming SIL. And how he and his DW was hounded out .
Will you feel let down that he - allegedly- wants to return ?

Having returned from a lovely walk I was rather going for a reply to my question of a few hours ago .
Ho hum .

Nope not as much as Harry and Meghan they left an imprint that even up to today you are still talking about them. Andrew is protected because he is royalty and the late queens favourite son. He had to get a little bit of grieve but not as much as them. Meghan and Harry got slaughtered I felt sorry for them no wonder they left.

@wordler a poster has just asked me to find an article on Andrew that's how little the press spoke about him. You think it's the same?¿

It reminds me of the anecdote about Nixon offering to help the Republicans campaign after Watergate - the answer being 'we think you've done enough already' 😂

Again - Meghan and Harry did not get slaughtered in the main stream press - especially during the time they were working royals and even after their exit up until the Oprah interview - the gloves started to come off a little with some opinion pieces then - with criticism growing and more explicitly expressed after every new ‘reveal’ from the Sussexes.

There have been terrible things written on the internet on social media and in the comment sections on articles but there was no slaughtering of Meghan and Harry in the main stream media. It just didn’t happen.

From what I can remember the British people didn't accept them as a couple.

I must have imagined the Girl Guides’ Royal Wedding badge that I sewed into DD’s blanket, and the thousands of girls around the country celebrating Meghan’s achievements in their unit meetings, as my DD did.

Nope a poster asked you to back up your claim that there were glowing reports about Andrew - as there were no glowing reports about Andrew - we can all Google the actual reports which went to town on his behaviour - as they should have of course.
