@Lookingatthesunset You defended Prince Andrew by inaccurately posting what he was accused of.
Yes it is rape if you have sex with a teenager who has been sex trafficked. Someone who has been sex trafficked by its very nature can not consent to sex.

But you (or someone else can’t remember) said he was accused of pedophilia.

he isn’t.

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 17:06

i think H&M fans need to ask themselves why Harry doesn’t go for the low hanging fruit that is Andrew actually. Andrew is a liar and a pervert and most likely had sex with trafficked girls.

funny how Harry has been totally silent on him.

Why is that? For someone so vocal? He could blow Andrew’s reputation out the water, he’s only an uncle, no one especially close.

Answer: Because he, Harry, can in no way play the victim in any of what Andrew has done.

just let that sink in

Harry is involved in Invictus in a personal capacity.

Yet he uses his title

SluggyMuggy · 08/05/2024 18:12

First point - you think Invictus does not matter. You are entitled to that opinion, I disagree.

Second point - When deciding on a bid all pre events matter. If you have ever worked in business you would understand this.

Third point - Soft diplomacy is showing that the Royal Family support Invictus despite personal rifts. It would reassure the committee who makes the decision that if Invictus was hosted in England it would not be over shadowed by a potential boycott by the Royal Family.

You have all the hallmarks of a superfan and are peddling the same nonsense superfans do.

Harry is a Royal, he is attending Invictus. WHY does a more senior Royal need to attend it to? They don’t for Beatrice and Eugenie’s causes, or Zara’s

SluggyMuggy · 08/05/2024 18:20

The website is instructive. The last time it was updated was in 2018 when Harry was still a working member of the Royal Family. There is no mention of last years Invictus games in Germany.
They clearly do not support Invictus now if they can not even be bothered to update a website.

There’s a huge amount of pages of the Royal Family website that need updating, their comms team must be busy dealing with two very serious illnesses, online hate and accusations that Eliam has buried her under the patio at Adelaide cottage

@MrsFinkelstein If the Royal Family can not support a bid that supports disabled veterans then I do not see the point of them. Any decent Head of State would support the bid in any way they could.

What do you mean when you say this? IG DO get support from the RF. Harry is still a Royal

BemusedAmerican · 09/05/2024 17:18

Other than the fact that Harry physically grabbed an elderly fan, and was completely ignored by the attending clerics, who neither looked at him not shook his hand, he did fine by himself.

SluggyMuggy · 09/05/2024 17:18

@YaMuvva Harry is not a working Royal. His role with Invictus is as a private citizen.

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 17:20

SluggyMuggy · 09/05/2024 17:18

@YaMuvva Harry is not a working Royal. His role with Invictus is as a private citizen.

He is still a Royal though. The same way Princess Eugenia is though she isn’t a working Royal

if he’s there as a private citizen why is he using his title?

BemusedAmerican · 09/05/2024 17:20

Zara and Eugenie aren't working royals.

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 17:22

SluggyMuggy · 08/05/2024 18:28

@AssignedUnimportantAtBirth Why is it important if the Royal Family do not attend?
The only thing I can see that might make England's bid fail is if there appears to be no support from the Royal Family because they do not want to support anything Harry is involved in. If that continues and England did host Invictus then the Royal Family staying away could fill media and social media chatter for many weeks and overshadow the athletes.
There would be fights on social media between those who thought the Royal Family were right to stay away and those who thought they were wrong.
If I was on the committee I would want an assurance that the Royal Family would support Invictus and would do what they can to dampen any of this chatter down. So the focus can be on the veterans. England is good at supporting disabled athletes and the public would I think be interested.

Why? Why does anything charity related need Royal Family approval?

it must be a fairly weak bid if it can’t survive with an email from the King to say “I approve!”

private citizen 😂
That's the very last thing Harry is!
He's royal. He's got this gig because he's royal. He continues because he's royal.

SluggyMuggy · 08/05/2024 18:31

@MrsFinkelstein You know as well as I do that there will be no official press release from the palace saying Harry invited Charles and William to the Invictus service and we ignored the invite.
I have posted links to media that do say this. Believe it or disbelieve it, I frankly do not care.
But I do believe it. Because if they had not been invited it would have been leaked and the Harry and Meghan haters would have been talking about it for days.
But you do you.

And you can bet if they were invited and said yes then the superfans would accuse them of stealing Harry’s thunder

They can’t win

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 17:24

Mylovelygreendress · 08/05/2024 18:32

The only thing that overshadows the veterans is Meghan’s fashion parade.

Edited

I saw a video of that the other day. Appalling behaviour. Why is she there? She isn’t a patron nor is she a veteran or a competitor. Why is she there marching at the front in, sorry, an inappropriate (for the occasion) outfit

SluggyMuggy · 09/05/2024 17:25

Yeah lets have a go at Meghan again.
We get it. Everything she does is terrible. How dare she exist and wear clothes.

IsoldeWagner · 09/05/2024 17:25

@YaMuvva she's a trophy wife and a clothes horse and a purveyor of jam.

Charles Spencer does seem like a nice person. I have heard him being interviewed a lot recently due to his book about his awful experience and he comes across as an empathetic person. However it seems he has a strained relationship with his dcs from his first marriage. He wasn't at his dd's wedding. I did therefore find it rather ironic that he was being praised for supporting H yesterday.

Not sure his 2 ex wives would agree . He didn’t attend the weddings of 2 of his daughters from his first marriage which would suggest family turmoil .

SluggyMuggy · 09/05/2024 17:35

And while we are at attack anyone in real life who supports Harry. They are all terrible people.

SirChenjins · 09/05/2024 17:52

I don’t think they’re terrible people, just bonkers - like the pair of them.

JSMill · 09/05/2024 18:04

@Mylovelygreendress yes I did say in my post he apparently has poor relations with his dcs from his first marriage. Given his recent revelations about the abuse he experienced at school. I wondered if he was a troubled person and therefore treated his first two wives badly. Perhaps therapy has changed him.

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 18:19

Sageandparsley7654 · 08/05/2024 20:04

Serioisly?

Er, no they don’t actually. They make things up all the time. And spin stories and exaggerate.

Especially if the story is about H & M. There seems to be a slightly protective bubble around the main players but they do it to all members of the RF.

So please don’t make me laugh.

Edited

With respect in a post-Levenson world the press cannot just make things up and publish them. That’s not how things work. They need a source, which can be protected, and to give to opposing side the right to respond (they don’t have have to respond though)

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 18:20

TheFirmBiscuit · 08/05/2024 20:08

Anyone who would queue up to boo someone they don't know needs their head testing and as such can be discounted.

They could have queued up for anti one of the many people who attended today and just happened to boo at the man who is seemingly making the games about him and his wife

IsoldeWagner · 09/05/2024 18:20

I'm always suspicious of people who want to shut down the press or expect only positive stories. It's very anti democratic.

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 18:22

TheFirmBiscuit · 08/05/2024 20:26

What happened to the redoubtable Roussette and Mrs MaxdeWinter have they been driven away ?

🤞

YaMuvva · 09/05/2024 18:24

TheFirmBiscuit · 08/05/2024 20:44

Sorry to hear it they were the posters I most admired and Rousette like the late Queen was a paragon of virtue and decorum. I'm an ex poster here but the whole tone has changed probably because MN didn't like the hassle of having to overly moderate protracted bun fights and gangs of posters policing the mood. I'll leave you to it and bid you adieu - I have an appointment with Twitter/X which is calling ....

You will definitely find your people there but they won’t be as smart or witty as MN
