Why do you think that? I think she is the obvious candidate.

Will they want to reconnect with him though? It’s not up to him to arbitrarily decide, they have to be willing and there certainly won’t be any reconciliation with William and family.

Very true, but it's still open to H&M to decide that, just this once, they'll avoid attention seeking stunts and silly interviews - though whether it'll happen is anyone's guess

Actually the PPs idea about them appearing on huge screens rather than in person may not be a bad one, and at least it would avoid speculation about visiting the family and make it simpler for others in the RF to attend if they wish

@BigWillyLittleTodger I'm not sure if the report is true but I agree, I think he'll have a tough time reconnecting with William. Maybe he's coming for tax reasons or to collect his inheritance and thinks while he's here, he might as well visit a few family members: 🤷‍♀️

Yes, very good point 👍

Who told you that?

Surely there would be a formal invitation from Invictus?

Maybe Netflix will bankroll it??

I wonder if the penny has dropped and Harry realises how much he has been pushed out due to his behaviour.
He is probably realising that once William is in charge he has no chance of reconciling!

I’m not sure Harry realises anything. He seems spectacularly unable to grasp the reality of his situation,
or the impact his actions have had on others. I guess he’s been brought up so spoilt and entitled he’s never had to deal with the consequences of his actions.

Possibly he was too babied and too many excuses made for him because of Diana's death.

Absolutely no way to know what the state is of their relationship. If they’ve been messaging quietly or making amends. The press speculate - that’s what they do - but they do not know.

No they don’t, but given all the bollocks from the Sussex supporters around Catherine’s’s illness etc and that the Sussexes have not distanced themselves from all that, I would be very surprised if William is feeling sympathetic towards his brother and any desire for reconciliation. It doesn’t take the press to make me think that. Harry and Meghan would need to do a lot of grovelling imo given all the shit that has been thrown in the Wales’ direction

I think the fact that H and M only found out about Catherine’s cancer at the same time as the rest of us speaks volumes .

This is the best news ever

Source?

There are always a lot of stories in the run up to the summer break about will they/won't they visit; and I think they are all sheer invention.

It is everywhere at the mo. Another planted piece, obviously, but it has been taken up in lots of publications, so you've got to think H&M's new UK PR guy, if not pushing it, isn't shutting it down either.

Great news! Birmingham did an amazing job with the Commonwealth games .

Well this has been quite funny to see epwolle complaining how it'll all be about H&M and they will make it all about them yet here you are making it all about them instead of just focusing on Invictus 😆😆

No wonder the media churn out article after article cos.they know people will click on them and this board is proof enough of how much people will talk about them good or bad so of course they will create articles

Harry and Meghan have become the story rather than the Invictus Games themselves. One could have been forgiven for thinking that Nigerian trip was purely a state visit for the Sussexes. Invictus hardly got a mention.

Quite probably.

Great news for Birmingham and the UK. Go Invictus! Blooming marvellous. 🤩

🤗

I have read that Harry isn't coming to meet his family but to collect his trust fund instead. Disappointing

Why does that not surprise me?
