I have seen several newspapers referring to this German documentary. It's the first I've heard of it.

Imagine the monarch paying money to Harry for Harry to continually publicly slag him off, it’s not like they could have a private deal as it’s pretty clear there’s no privacy or trust.

As I've said so often, Charles exhibits such poor judgement that it wouldn't surprise me if he'd been swayed by "they're going to kill me dad" and was subbing Harry's security

However your point about a "private deal" is a good one, so maybe he's really not handing over any ££££ now

CathyorClaire · 01/08/2024 20:47

Maybe they are hoping for a deal - pay for our security and we'll shut up about the RF

That may well be the deal the lardy uncle (who's still ensconced at the apparently deterioriating Royal Lodge despite all the royal willy waving about downsizing) enjoys.

Trouble is Harold's already flapped his gums rather freely and proven himself an enormous Pinocchio in the process.

Not rating his chances of persuading Pa..

BigWillyLittleTodger · 01/08/2024 22:07

Even if he could, why should Charles provide security for a non-working royal who courts publicity, winds up the Taliban and organises faux royal tours to dangerous countries?

Totally agree!

Trouble is, Charles does not want a repeat of what happened to Diana and that’s what Harry is playing on. His guilt.

Mummyoflittledragon · 02/08/2024 06:20

I don’t think Harry is playing on this. I think he truly believes it. And if reports are true about Meghan, it is she, who has a large hand to play in this.

Of course Charles doesn’t want his son or any of his family to be killed but please let’s not forget that Diana got into a car with a drunk driver and didn’t put on a seat belt . That wasn’t Charles’s fault .

WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout · 02/08/2024 07:50

Don’t be ridiculous @Mylovelygreendress for some people everything is Charles’s fault even the stuff that he couldn’t foresee. Like a drunk driver.

No it wasn’t but he felt he was blamed at the time in part, however unfair it was.

I agree but he’s also using it as a bargaining chip. I agree that Meghan has a large hand in it too.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/08/2024 09:38

(Charles) felt he was blamed at the time in part, however unfair it was

If it's correct that he cried "Everyone's going to blame me!!" then that's probably true, but even allowing for the shock it seemed to me a sadly self-obsessed reaction to the death of a woman who was 36 and the mother of his boys

Nothing I wouldn't expect though Sad

ajandjjmum · 02/08/2024 10:53

I presume that the late Queen ensured that Anne, Andrew and Edward had enough money to live on, and I'm equally sure that it wouldn't run into many millions each per year. They, of course, did support the Monarchy rather than slag it off, so really Harry should not assume that he is entitled to anything.

Their comment about being 'internationally protected persons' when they did their runner has always stuck with me - they really had/have an inflated sense of their own importance.

Oh I dunno @Puzzledandpissedoff - at the time, Charles's popularity was down the toilet. He'd been roundly criticised by the public, press etc. He'd been slated for his relationship with Camilla and how he had treated Diana.

In that context, I can kinda see why he said that?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/08/2024 18:32

You're quite right that Charles was getting hell, @Runnerinthenight, but surely that would be a reason not to make it any worse with "poor me" remarks?

Seems to be a family trait ...

Back on topic, German OK is reporting on Meghan having a ‘secret daughter’

https://www.ok-magazin.de/royals/herzogin-meghan-heimliche-tochter-aufgetaucht-80756.html

That’s old gossip .

JADS · 03/08/2024 06:08

Don't believe that for a moment.

How does German OK get away with printing such dross? I thought it was only the British media that was a problem

Lifestooshort71 · 03/08/2024 08:29

I thought it was Diana herself who cancelled her protection? They wouldn't have let her get in a car driven by a drunk.

Probably been said many times before, is the main reason H is battling for round the clock royal protection because it would make him look more important, on a par nearly with William? Bodyguards leaping out to open doors and usher them to safety from the paparazzi on pizza bikes, cavalcades of black limos down The Mall, etc? All these images in his head, obviously.

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/08/2024 08:37

Exactly that @Lifestooshort71 and Diana cancelled her protection off the back of the deceitful methods used by Martin Bashir to secure an interview with her.

Wellieswithsocks · 01/08/2024 06:49

Now his sources are trying to drag William into the farce…

https://pagesix.com/2024/07/31/royal-family/prince-william-and-prince-harrys-falling-out-is-not-irreparable-report/

Smacks of desperation- I think they are running out of money

Looking at the comments - none are supportive of H&M.
I'm assuming most commenting are Americans, which doesn't bode well for their PR push.

Can't believe I'm defending Charles, but here we go ...

He didn't say that publicly though.
It was reported by a 3rd party who clearly spoke about a remark made in (what he clearly thought was a private space) by someone who was shocked and grieving. A classic breach of confidence.

Now you could argue the BRF should just have to always be conscious they are never truly alone and just need to suck it up as one of the perks/downsides of their position.

But I'm not going to criticise a man for a single remark made in the midst of shock, grief and trauma.

Uh Huh Yes GIF

Yes, I've been reliably informed several times it's only the UK media who are tabloid trash.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/08/2024 10:44

He didn't say that publicly though ... It was reported by a 3rd party

A big thank you for pointing that one out, @MrsFinkelstein; I normally avoid reports from "sources" like the plague, or at least say "it's reported that ...", but I genuinely thought this one had come direct from Charles himself

Admittedly it would fit with the self-pitying nature described by so many, but that's not the same as him actually saying it publicly so I'm really glad you clarified
