WeAreInvictus - X

[ConstantGarden1]

A fitting endorsement from Fred Hargreaves OBE who on X wrote, “As ever, a genuine and heart-felt speech from the Duke of Sussex - the driving force and passion behind the #InvictusGames. So good to see this Award, and share the stage with Elizabeth, Kirsty and Israel.”

From the Royal Website, how the ‘driving force’ - Harry - brought Invictus into being:

Positive Harry posts have been flooding X. Haters were out too. Some negatively posting in a quasi-forensic manner. No ‘gotcha’ revelations, however, nor tens of thousands of likes which the repost of Harry’s speech on ESPN by the knowledgeable Robert Griffin III now has. In less than 2 days 51+K likes and still rising.

I also checked out some (too many) #Sussexsquad posters. It revealed teachers, veterans, different nationalities, colours, creeds, nurses, retired folk etc etc. Thus I formed a completely different understanding about the use of the hashtag to support the Sussex family. There were also very strange users of the hashtag too. The hashtag was additionally utilised to send the message out on X to put the anti-Harry and Meghan posters or ‘derangers’, as they are often called, on mute and not to engage. Quite a restrained and civil position to promote and many did just that. Invictus awareness was successfully brought to those who had never heard of the international fraternity of veterans with disabilities and injuries by this hashtag alone.

Watching the videos on X I saw Harry speak with sincerity and humility under pressure. His words, “The truth is, I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient, but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality. This award belongs to them. Not to me.”

Harry has now been awarded, by a very diverse online presence, a new respect. And I do believe he’s also a jolly good fellow…and so say many, many, many of us. 😊💙

I am so glad I went on my very new X twitter account for I was disgusted with the Daily Mail’s use of Pat Tillman’s mother to denigrate Prince Harry as it was totally uncalled for. Call it for what it was - a hit piece of journalism designed to create a mini storm online. We know nothing about the context of how they obtained words supposedly said by Pat’s mother about Harrry. I was aghast too at how Pat’s widow has also been treated by some online posters. Her foundation may not be perfect but she does more than anyone to honour him. Pat’s mother also did not go on any mainstream American media either where her complaints would have been listened to and would have provided the much needed context for the hate motivated article by a newspaper under the spotlight for its nefarious journalism and click bait articles about Harry.

Harry’s response was beautiful. The way Harry acknowledged Pat’s mother went further than him being a royal. It was a standout out moment of what being human is all about. I do believe he’s also a jolly good fellow…and so say many, many, many of us. 😊💙

I too think the timing speaks volumes. And that isn’t “magical thinking”, it’s a logical conclusion. As to him not saying anything negative about Harry, well of course he wouldn’t. He is a professional person and knows how to write a letter of resignation without making himself sound like a mardy twat who blames other people, thus rendering himself unemployable in one fell swoop 🙄

@AliceOlive I think some posters fail to read between the lines.
They also like to mock other posters’ valid opinions.
Another joyful use of linguistics though! Is it like Bue Sky Thinking?!

Oh god, yes. Sometimes people are just a liability.
Definitely time for Harry to go. He won't though.

Yes, not everyone trashes other people just to look good. That's a personal speciality of Harry and Meghan.

After all the discussion about the Invictus accounts I took a look and found an entry in the grants section involving something called Blackmane Media. Same amount recorded as negative (liability) one year and positive the next (expenditure of restricted funds?).

Anyways. This appears to pertain to the making of a short film on the healing of nature which is apparently due to be entered into 2024 film festivals while also appearing to be available on Youtube.

Wondering why no Invictus drum banging for this and why not Netflix?

Anyone know?

That's what I took from it, too.

Reading some of the so called humour on here at Harry’s expense is quite frankly disgusting. Talk about dehumanising someone you don’t know and who has effected more change for more people than many others. Conflating arguments, low brow comments and the belief that unrelated events are causally connected despite the absence of evidence says it all really.

Utter nonsense.

You call him a liar but that doesn’t make it true. You just believe it and throw darts at him all the time. So sad….

They won’t be losing any sleep over a few commentators on Mumsnet. 😊

Not sad.

True.

He is a liar.

😂👍👍👍

Reasonable and spot on.

Of course not. They travel on magic carpets, blow fairy dust out of their nose and lay golden eggs for all their children. 😂

It certainly hasn’t caused them to adapt their behavior so far. 🤣

Look, I know he’s done a ton of various drugs and even stolen Meg’s gas while she was in labor but that’s downright rude.

Besides, I think he snorts it in rather than blowing it out.

😂

I’m off to bed now. Enjoy the rest of your day!! See you on the threads (those that don’t get pulled 😉 x).

A-ha….

Oh, all my favorite threads are still out there.

Oh my god. Stealing the anaesthetic from your wife in child labour has to be a particularly low point. Even for Harry. Who sets a very low bar.

Harry is the ultimate gas guzzler.

At home and abroad, this guy is the grifting gurning global gas guzzler.

And yet you posted this on the 'poll' thread about the royal family shortly after.

'Tired of all this saintly Catherine stuff. She comes across as rather dull and not the brightest of bulbs even if she went to Uni. She also tries so hard to appear more than she actually is. It just gives rise to that artificial stiffness and the weird facial expressions she is prone to. Scrubs up well but who wouldn’t with the wealth at her husband’s disposal. Stepford wife material for the royalist propaganda machine. Plenty of insiders have talked in the past about how she and boring William would not speak for weeks and throw pillows at one another when arguing.'

What horrible things to say about Catherine. "Stepford Wife" and "not the brightest bulb". Misogynist and totally unsubstantiated.

The gas and air story was definitely a pulps common people moment of the book. How to relate to the peasants who are reading with my description of the really expensive maternity ward. I know tell them I behaved like “just Harry” from the cul de sac. High on the nitrous oxide, ignoring the wife and stuffing my face with Nando’s, that must be pretty normal and the readers will so relate.

This was more or less said about Catherine in both Spare and Endgame, so it's not a surprise coming from Sussex supporters. Any time they complain about tabloid hacks monetising Sussex gossip, they might want to remember that no royal journalist ever made millions out of pedaling gossip about someone they purport to love like the sister they never had.
