Harry not attending the wedding

[ZellyFitzgerald]

I was thinking that it might be hitting home how much Harry is missing out on now after not going to the Duke of Westminster's wedding.

This is life for him and Meghan now that they've cut themselves off and one of many events they aren't part of.

Wonder how Harry's feeling seeing the photos and whether he regrets it all, given that he and the Duke were good friends.

If he really wanted to sever links with his past, would he be offering to do royal duties while HM is out of commission, or going on these 'quasi royal' tours?

I'm not sure if he wants back, but in his heart he probably thinks he never left, he was just forced out. Leave it long enough and the fam will see they were wrong and beg him to come back.

I think that’s exactly what he thinks. It doesn’t seem to have dawned on him that his actions have caused permanent irreparable damage .Which is staggering really.

This answer stuck out. Did you give up your whole social circle when you got married? Ditch all your friends/ you think that is what people should do?

I don’t think he sees his friends in the same way you see then ti be honest.

anyways, I don’t think he will be devastated, I think he will be resentful and think it’s one more thing to blame his family for.

I moved abroad to be with my dh and lost touch with my old friends as it was a lot harder to keep in touch if you were living abroad thirty years ago. It did make me sad and I am really glad I have reconnected with friends through the power of social media.
My dh has a couple of friends who ditched their social group because their new partner didn't approve of them. Both times the relationships failed and the guy was left alone without a support network.

Anything that stokes his resentment and ever developing notion of victimhood is A-OK in his book!

What do you think the next interview/netflix/magazine article or whatever will be about?
He couldn't go to a dear friend's wedding because of the RF and their shocking bullying?

I do actually feel for him as I am estranged from one member of my family and even though I feel I have been hard done by I am acutely aware they also feel they have. There are two sides to everything

he should never have wrote the book

I don't feel sorry for him.
It's entirely self inflicted.
The day the RF do a six part Netflix series, magazine interviews, books and podcasts slagging off Harry endlessly, without evidence and for money is the day I'll believe in the "two sides to every story" nonsense.
They don't. They won't.
He'll continue to do so - because it pays.

He'd go and he'd STILL do interviews selling out everyone on everything that was said and done and all the perceived slights blah blah blah.

Oh my god, it's like he spends his time looking for problems.
He needs to find a job

Did you dump all your friends once you got married?

I feel .ore sorry for Kate. Bet she loves a closed door knees up with her friends but even if she felt up to it, she's probably not allowed in case of speculation about her appearance/how well she is / why she can go off to a wedding but can't return to work etc

That’s the problem. He lives in a bubble and he’s got nothing to do.

Which wedding did she go to?

This is a rather strange comment. He has a family other than his wife and kids. Do they not count them. Friends can also be more like extended members of family do they not count either? I can understand blanking a few people if there is friction but to blank out almost everyone in your life prior to marriage is not normal and nothing to do with having your own 'family'. By doing g this he has actually deprived his kids of 'family'

Harry appears to be such a bitter man and he is immersed in his own angst. I imagine he will be like this for all of his life. He won't care or even be aware.

I do wonder what they will tell their DC when they are older. I have no problem with H and M protecting A and L’s privacy but as they grow up and start to understand their place in one of the most famous families in the world , will they feel they have missed out ?

It does seem a lonely life in Montecito. In spite of Supporters’ claims to the contrary, there are clearly no Raglands in the children’s lives - only Doria. Doria’s family as well as the Markles were considered to be not up to scrutiny. I suppose there may be transient influencers and their dcs.

I had a boss years ago whose little boy spent 90% of his time with the maid who was from the Philippines and spoke little English. And then he was was taken to a speech and language therapist !

I got friendly with a nanny for a very rich family as my ds used to play with the little boy she looked after in the park every day. The boy's mother didn't work but he was either with his nanny or his aunt on the nanny's day off. I remember one day he turned round and said to the nanny, 'I feel sad all the time'. He was only three. Both she and I were convinced it was down to the lack of interest from his mum.

Yes my cousins child is like this. She has been brought up by the nanny in Singapore and has no social skills or confidence. I just don’t understand why women have children if they want someone else to bring them up.

That’s so incredibly sad

Well, he seems to care quite a lot about film premieres and pointless 'award' ceremonies. Indeed, he and his wife are quite happy to leave their children several hours flight away to attend them.

Why does becoming a parent require you to no longer be interested in the people you grew up with?

I find it ironic that they left to live their own lives doing meaningful humanitarian work . All they are in fact doing is utterly pointless PR stunts for anyone who will pay them, regardless of who is offering the opportunity . They seem to have no moral compass and no integrity at all.

Royals for hire.

That was my point. She didn't go to the wedding and even if she'd have felt up to it, the public scrutiny about how she's well enough to do X but not Y would make it a no
