Anyone watching this? It's on My5. I thought the first episode was interesting. I was reminded of how popular they were and how much support they got.

@smilesy he was saying that. It is crazy ex wife territory. Diana has often been dismissed by critics as the crazy ex wife.

You've no evidence.
Do you think Earl Spencer also said that? He doesn't want the interview shown either.

Yes if Harry said that he was also silencing his mother.
Children do not see things the same way as adults do. That is why they have parents making decisions for them.

He was talking about his mother. I think he probably knew how she was feeling and behaving better than anyone else, especially as she uses him as a confidante

IsoldeWagner · 21/08/2024 18:25

Anyway. Good distraction from the C5 documentary!
Got no response or defence of H&M's behaviour?
Drag up Diana.

The easiest way for Charles to see and spend time with his grandchildren in a safe (and perfectly secure) and private way would be for Harry and Meghan or just Harry to bring the children to Balmoral this summer.

It would be very easy for them to fly in unreported - spend time with family and fly out again unreported.

Maybe they have done exactly that?

But if they haven’t it’s very likely not Charles’ fault. The ball is in Harry’s court - bring the kids over to the UK - stay on a royal property to that all security issues are taken care of. Don’t alert the press you are coming like he did when he flew over when the cancer diagnosis was announced.

That takes care of all security issues and facilitates the visit - much easier than Charles - currently undergoing cancer treatment - to have to involve all the protocols and issues with a HOS visiting another country.

@smilesy he was saying that. It is crazy ex wife territory. Diana has often been dismissed by critics as the crazy ex wife.

The fact is that as an ex wife, Diana was rebuilding her life and doing positive things. There is evidence that she and Charles had finally found an equilibrium and were getting on in a friendly way.

William suffered from the travails and fallout in that marriage as much as Harry (I would say more) and treats his mother's memory with affection and respect, unlike the frankly disturbing aspects around Harry's endless references to her.

@Nadeed - did you read the posts explaining this?
Have a look at @Rhaidimiddim 's just above yours.
Do you genuinely not understand what's been happening?

Bad faith poster, with a script to push, I think.

The new SS script - make it stick that Charles is bad cos he doesn't want to see his son or his son's children.

Yes. That makes sense.
Nothing else does 😂

@BasiliskStare - I'm from a big family - my mum knew how to slice things finely!
I'm going to have to look for those flavours 😍

I already have. Ocado have only vanilla and mint flavours.

Who stocks the biscoff one? I think it really does have my name on it!

I might buy a selection. It'll be a trip down memory lane, I'll half expect to see Dick Emery on tv and maybe a Val Doonican special!

As above posts point out: do you have any evidence that Charles has said anything unfavourable publically about Diana since her death?

I don't remember him saying anything unfavourable before her death either.

(Happy to be corrected if he did)

Nadeed · 21/08/2024 18:40

You were obviously not alive during the War of the Waleses.
Charles painted Diana as a flighty crazy ex wife. Charles gave a TV interview, had an authorised book written, and leaked lots of stories about Diana and their marriage.

Agreed - I’m always happy to debate the issues with someone with different opinions but this poster lost me with the comments about William being negative about his mother.

It’s a false narrative pushed strongly by the Sussex Squad on Twitter as a way to criticize William.

Manypaws · 21/08/2024 18:40

I hope Val has one of his nice cardies on

I am NOT the Sussex Squad. How dare you!

I have said I think neither side are bothered about contact.

Mylovelygreendress · 21/08/2024 17:11

I think Sarah and Jane keep in touch but Charles Spencer tried to dissuade Harry from marrying Meghan .

They can keep in touch with letters and e-mails and phone calls. For all I know Harry might be in touch with his aunts often.

You are repeating several different strands of false narratives and untrue information.

The same lies which are constantly posted by the Sussex Squad on Twitter and other social platforms.

If you are not an active Sussex Squad campaigner then you have been unfortunately duped by their negative campaigning which is leading you to believe these false narratives.

But there were lots of excuses about why Charles does not see his son Harry, or their grandchildren.
I agree, he has chosen not to. He could, but does not want to see them.

Granddad.Markle doesn't see his grandchildren either.
What is the common denominator in this strange behaviour?
Meghan. Her children, God help them, are pawns to use in the attempted emotional manipulation of the King.
She really is a horrible person.

Charles painted Diana as a flighty crazy ex wife. Charles gave a TV interview, had an authorised book written, and leaked lots of stories about Diana and their marriage.

The interviews I saw when they went out (yes, I was alive long before they married, let alone split up) did not include anything that could be construed as an accusation that she was "crazy". Even the revelation that he had been unfaithful only after she had been (the only thing that could be construed as a negative, depending on how you view adultery) was couched in neutral terms.

What do you remember him saying?

I was around and he did no such thing

Vespanest · 21/08/2024 18:52

As Harry changes his mind often is he still after reconciliation without an apology or is he back to apology before reconciliation. It’s a bit hard to have a relationship when someone who has public demands on how you should behave. I’ll never get over the fact that Harry writes a relationship ending book and somehow it’s the people on the receiving end to repair the damage.
