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.”

But you don’t bother to apply any critical thinking skills about who might be reading them, why they might read them, why they might comment, all the people who don’t read/comment, all the people who don’t live in the UK who read and comment, all the people who live in the UK and don’t live under a cloud of racial hatred, even though we are also people of colour and in mixed race relationships etc etc etc. You just read a few comments from a minuscule number of people (probably including a lot of trolls) and decide 67 million people are racists.

No not everyone that's generalising all British people.

The majority are British and a lot of them do add where they are from.

I may be a minority in this view but I feel far more antipathy towards Harry than Meghan for the current mess. She may or may not be the unpleasant character many think she is but regardless it's really difficult marrying in to that family.

So many of the early issues seem to be rooted in him doing a terrible job of explaining how things work or even straight up lying/minimising about how it would be and what was expected of her.

I wouldn't be shocked if he had told her before the wedding she would only have to do a couple of years of the boring stuff then they would easily be able to leave and do the hybrid thing from the US/Canada.

He seems utterly self absorbed and I bet not an easy man to be married to. As time goes on it's more and more like the Duke of Windsor situation and the desire to build a rival court abroad. I don't think Harry is smart enough to navigate the world stage wisely without the unseen hand of the palace or foreign office and could be a diplomatic disaster waiting to happen.

Like the DoW situation being cut adrift opens the door to malign influences and frankly creates a headache for the government of the day. Which is why the DoW continued to receive an allowance despite not being deserving of it.

Wallis Simpson always got a lot of the blame for that situation but much of what I've read suggests she spent her time appeasing and soothing the man-child ex King she foolishly married and then had years to repent in leisure.

Well in that case I am in the minority with you.

I do agree with what you have written.

I think he is likely to have done her far more wrong than the others who regularly get the blame on here.

I also don’t think it is a giant leap to compare them to E &Mrs S.

I think it would be awful to realise that you have a long time left to repent or wish you’d googled more.

Not really I don't bother with it. The commenters do believe it that's what makes me laugh. The hate for someone they don't know amazes me.

mrsmingleton · 18/02/2024 16:58

@Carpediemmakeitcount but you said

"I read the comments that's where you get a good feeling about how the British people feel. The papers have criticised and printed stories about them since their marriage and it did feel like a campaign against them."

and now you are saying the opposite? Doesn't make sense.

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

Do you remember typing this?

That's what I was talking about the comments that people add to an article you know the comments section. They believed what they read even this thread is about a news article and everyone is commenting on it and believing it until it happens then I don't believe it.

Stories about the brothers not talking or a rift between Harry and Charles how do they know. It's unpleasant to read.

YetMoreNewBeginnings · 18/02/2024 17:08

I’ve said on threads before that if Meghan posted about how Harry hadn’t informed her about certain things with his family business she’d be told to LTB.

Not telling her about curtsying to the Queen in private shows a complete lack of detail about how he told her they worked. Given that they’d turned down help from others because Harry was teaching her (I’d love to know how much of a day he had in that…) it was even more essential his teachings were decent.

In the conversation with Oprah about the titles Meghan said they’d expected the grandchildren all to be treated the same. I think she, and possibly Harry, expected LPs to be issued as they were for the Cambridge children. Possibly without realising the actual reason they were issued.

I think it’s very telling that the woman who seemed the least informed/educated about the inner workings of the RF is the one that he actually got down the aisle…

Don't you have arguments with your family and then talk again and make amends. Harry has been at every event beside his family. Let's not forget drama sells apparently.

Well Harry is even dumber than we think if he published a book about himself without reading it first.

I was thinking of another book well drama sells whether it's true or not no one will know apart from Harry and his family.

Stories about the brothers not talking or a rift between Harry and Charles how do they know. It's unpleasant to read.

They don’t ’know’ the stories are written carefully and creatively to make a suggestion that may or not be true.

Newspaper articles are written by one journalist and the headlines are written by a different team.

The photos inserted and captioned by a different person.

The links and ‘see this other story’ suggestions generated by an algorithm and edited by another person.

It’s a well-oiled machine honed with one and only one purpose - to make money.

It’s not some secret cabal targeting individuals - it’s not an orchestrated campaign against Meghan - it’s computer based algorithms telling the editors how to make the most money by getting the most eyes on the pages which contain advertising.

If you start viewing the tabloids and to a certain extent all newspapers and many media organizations like that then you’ll see that it’s not a personal attack and it’s not unique to the Sussexes - it’s how to make the most money as quickly as possible and as often as possible.

Scobie - who H&M had to admit in court that they gave personal information to, to be included in the book?

Coronateachingagain · 18/02/2024 17:18

The truth is everyone is trying to make money off news here - both the tabloids and this prince and his wife. They use their titles for effect. They have not much to show if the dukedom titles (which by the way are meaningless in the UK and everywhere) are taken away.
I would even go on to say the titles are more valuable abroad than in the UK 😀 because generally the British public can see an empty carriage from afar.

So you can’t find any then, Google hasn’t been a helpful tool for you has it?

Google doesn't really help on which articles were deliberately planted

So it really would be helpful if those who say that there was deliberate briefing against could show some examples of that being published.

I'm assuming that they have this info, and hope they will share

Yes, I have arguments with my family. What I don't do is write a book about a load of petty shit about my father, step mother, brother and sister in law, all of whom I profess to love, and go on an international tour of interviews talking even more shit about them.

Harry has been at every event?

He turned up to his grandfather's funeral, and had a massive row with his dad and brother. We know about this because it's the opening of Spare. He couldn't be bothered to see his grandmother when he had the chance during her last days though.

He turned up to his grandma's funeral and fucking whinged about it in Spare - accusing William of keeping him off the plane to Scotland. He wrote about not joining his family to dine. And somehow, his mate, Omid Scobie knew that nobody talked to him and Meghan after the walkabout - info only 4 people knew and only two of whom would have leaked to that person.

He told the world in his post Spare interviews (Anderson Cooper, Tom Bradley etc) that he no longer spoke to his brother or father.

He turned up the Coronation ceremony and promptly flew back home again immediately, refusing to join the family lunch.

He saw his cancer suffering dad for mere minutes.

He "turns up". That's about the best you can say about his relationship with his family.

The tabloids get all the information they need about Harry's relationship with his family from Harry himself.
