The royal family

GB News is losing the plot!

I really don’t think there is a ‘contest’ other than in the minds of parts of the media. One brother will be King in time and the other brother wants to leave a meaningful legacy in his own right. So far both are doing a great job in carving out their own lives. I hope the brothers come to a point in time where they can be friends again. Life is too short to hold on to anger. The media doesn’t help by embroiling itself in their relationship - or lack thereof currently. I think many people in many countries would love to see a sense of family togetherness again with all of the current King’s grandchildren getting to know one another. It would show how a public facing family can overcome its own difficulties if KCIII could bring both brothers into line again. It’s time to stop painting Harry as the black sheep of the family. It hasn’t worked, it just drives more dissent and anti monarchy feeling in the younger generation. If we are to have a King William and a King George then the younger generation do need to see the institution as worth holding onto. As Harry is clearly active on the world stage harnessing his global appeal would be an advantageous move by the current King.

Losing the plot? Did GB news ever have it?! It's full of cranks and right wing nutters.

Japaneseflower · 23/08/2024 21:15

Oh, I'm so done with news. All have agendas. And are horrible about people. Though I'm not a massive fan of how Harry has behaved I do understand you about constantly making out he's the black sheep of the family....we all know who the true black sheep is...

INeedAnotherName · 23/08/2024 21:15

Then Harry needs to keep his gob shut. And put his pen down.

And I don't think the brothers will ever be close again as Harry has caused too much pain and hurt. The other two royal brothers never reconnected either (King Edward VIII and King George VI).

LiterallyOnFire · 23/08/2024 21:17

I don't think they had the plot very firmly in the first place, TBH.

OTOH, this constant royal-bait is what gets the clicks & views. It's infesting even The Times. They're bound to struggle to come up with angles.

LiterallyOnFire · 23/08/2024 21:20

I can't actually bring myself to give them another click. Can anyone summarise what's particularly batshit about this one? (Or C&P?)

Cheers.

Hence why they are losing the plot! They have dragged on Harry daily. They must have employed a leftie recently.

OFCOM has been on their case haven't they? LBC did this at a certain point - hired in some "balance".

Harry is not doing a good job. And there’s no reason William should or would ever forgive him for the things he’s said and done.

Runnerinthenight · 23/08/2024 21:27

The only person making Harry out to be the 'black sheep' is Harry, through his words and actions.

His behaviour is going to be up for public discussion while he keeps putting himself in the public eye. It's not only about past behaviour either. He has betrayed members of his own family for money and is not to be trusted.

Basically Harry and Meghan have a connection to the commonwealth that Wills and Catherine do not. Laid out the history of Meghan’s time there, the visits there and Invictus Games coming up in 2025. Basically highlights their ongoing relationship with Canada. Quote:

“Staunch monarchist Garry Toffoli, the Executive Director of the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust, said he and many other Canadians have a strong connection to the Sussexes.”

If I didn’t know better I think it is a way of saying William needs to visit countries like Harry is doing

I can accept that he is not a white sheep. He is not talking negatively about his family. They have moved on. Perhaps, we should too.

Harry and Meghan did " have a connection to the commonwealth" but they threw it back in the Queen's face when they fucked off to Montecito!!

William will be Head of the Commonwealth one day. Do you want him to piss off and do tours while his wife is having cancer treatment??

He is doing an excellent job.

His family haven't talked about him at all. How do you know they have "moved on"?

We will too, when he and his wife stop engaging in the public vanity projects. This is literally all their own doing. We'd have nothing to talk about if they stopped!!

An excellent job doing what? He’s not a working Royal. The Commonwealth is therefore none of his business

Runnerinthenight · 23/08/2024 21:32

How can you possibly say that Harry is doing "an excellent job"? I presume you have ears and/or eyes?

It is and it is because people are very invested in finding out what his happening in Sussex world.

They did. Have you seen the documentary The Windsors made by Prince Edward? Back when he set up his own production company.

So you think Harold is “active on the world stage” and “carving out a meaningful legacy”?
Really? Really really?!

QueenOfHiraeth · 23/08/2024 21:36

I fail to understand why one bloke in Canada who, for all we know, may not be impartial should convince us that Harry and Meghan are relevant. They have chosen to stand aside from the Royal Family so I think we need to stop this nonsense and let them be out of it
