[DistinguishedSocialCommentator]

I rarely post about him, never mind starting thread.However, the good news needs to be shared.

Good luck and good bye!!!

I would hope if there was a fee it went straight into the Invictus pot.

Celebrating a servicewoman only if you get paid to?

Surely not. Surely not.

You're kidding right?! He was paid?

If that is true, it's disgusting!

I can't imagine what it must be like to live in this state - what medals do I wear? What does it say? He should have had a sossidge pinned to his suit too 😂

😂

Loads of people received the Coronation medal - the entire Armed Services, emergency service, most of the Royal Family, Beefeaters, those involved in the ceremony (bizarrely not Chelsea Pensioners though). To get one, you simply had to be alive in a qualifying role on the day.

For Royals, I'm not sure how far down the line they go, but as Mike Tindall got a Coronation Medal, Harry must have qualified.

I can think of no good reason to wear less than your full set at a formal occasion where medals are worn.

Except perhaps for the monarch, who holds oodles and so might opt to wear only the British ones or only the most senior, or if hosting a state banquet for a visiting head of state, any medals/orders bestowed by that state.

But Harry doesn't have so many that space to wear is an issue - 1x campaign medal and 3x jubilee medals, one British order (KCVO) and one foreign order (according to Wiki). Wiki however does not list a Coronation medal for him. If he doesn't have one, then my guess is that he declined it (because it's utterly improbable that he would not be awarded it). Or perhaps he's just not got round to having it mounted yet.

Henry got the coro bling. It's the second time he's chosen not to sport it.

I'm just surprised he's gone with the gongs he was awarded for Grandma's parties given his haunting of her final years but I suppose he had to make up the numbers somewhere.

If he doesn’t want it, I’ll have it.

Incidentally I have just watched a documentary about a Chilean cult who used ayahuasca. They burnt a new born baby alive. I was just reminded of Harry taking this while watching it. What a dumbo.

Who knows what's going on in his mind, but that sort of experimentation can't help.

He’s a bit old for nightclubs now.

I know plenty of people in their 40s upwards who still go to clubs. Never too old.

A man with two kids falling out of a nightclub drunk in his forties would really be a sorry state of affairs.

It was embarrassing when he was in his 20s. Didn't he try to punch a photographer once?

Wouldn't it.

He did. His family supported and protected him well. Not that he is appreciative.

I really don't think H is a very nice guy. And nothing he's done over the last 5 years has changed that!

I do give him credit for doing his best on his official visits - he does take the time to talk to people, is smiley and tries to give good value (but then, if he's being paid, he jolly well needs to!). This has come from his upbringing, and it's an area where Meghan is often contrastingly bad.

But on a personal level much that I've read about him (and a lot in his own words) doesn't endear him to me. As many people have said, the Cheeky Chappie image was very much a construct of his pre-Meghan days. How can his brother and sister-in-law (once so close to H) ever forgive him for calling them racists to the whole world? We're seeing the fallout from that in the hate campaigns of the SS right now. I don't think the King's and Catherine's illnesses are unconnected with the appalling stress he and M have put them under over the last few years.

I agree H did try hard on royal visits by engaging with the crowds etc As pp have said, he knew what was expected from him. His attitude to his royal duties seemed to change so much after M. I will never forget his thunderous face when attending the function for Trump or how rude he was to Rhiannon Mills in South Africa. What on earth could make a person change so quickly? I suspect he wasn't that nice a person in private but he certainly knew how to behave as a royal when on duty.

I don't think he tried that hard. He did what he had to do. He has subsequently complained about being made to go on tours when he was tired, and engagements being too much.
I tend to think that the official royal life was too much for him, and of course, Meghan.

I too thought that Harry always seemed to conduct his Royal Duties as he should.

There is no question that his demeanour has changed since meeting Meghan.

The only thing I can put that down to is that a driven Meghan gave him the courage to be his true self.

Which unfortunately turns out to be an angry resentful arsehole self.

I wonder if she ever wishes she hadn’t encouraged that knob to come out of the bottle.

There are several pictures of Harry looking thunderous before he met Meghan. On the (admittedly appalling) Jubilee Barge progress he was steaming and there’s another pic at a sports event of Kate and an aide calming him down.

I think he can be petulant when not enjoying himself. At the Beyoncé concert he was clearly bored out of his skull. Supporters on here seemed quite upset about this, crying “No he wasn’t bored - he loved it!” I suppose the line is that Harry of course did not like events when in the rf, but now he has fun fun fun at everything .

If anyone has any Times share tokens (yes, yes, dirty, lying, biased msm yadda yadda - but it does have the Big Bank Holiday crossword) there's quite an amusing article in Times2 called "Oh the tension! Will the King and Harry finally enjoy a brief encounter?".
Just saying.
Sorry: sayin'

Also sorry as realise it's a bit of a non sequitur, but it's really not worth starting a thread about and here seemed as good a place as any.

I'll read that! Thanks, @LaMarschallin !

Just wondering, having whetted people's appetites (maybe...), if I could attach a photo of the article.
Hmm...

It worked!
Hope it's legible.

(Excuse the coffee stain )
