See all these wise posters, lots of what we have said has been ‘confirmed’ by other sources

article in the DM:

One senior Hollywood publicist tells me: 'First of all, everyone industry-wide, EVERYONE reads The Hollywood Reporter. It's really striking that WME did not stop this running.'
She adds: 'WME normally – you would think – would have been threatening and denying access to other stars. Was this done here?

Thats exactly what we all thought! it’s strange how they are letting this stuff out.

As we have all seen in recent days, the dark art of covering up and killing stories- look at Al Fayed and what he got away with. So WME have done nothing???

Also, Harry attending an event in his own because Meghan is sick. No. This is part of separating their ‘brands’- I doubt she will attend any future events like these with Harry.

Seems like the wheels are falling off to me!

Has Hollywood turned on the Sussexes? Industry bigwigs reveal all

Days after a ­brutal take-down in The Hollywood Reporter, which labelled Meghan as 'Duchess Difficult', neither she nor Harry attended her talent agent's Emmys after party.

I wonder if the children ever get to go to the beach and have normal experiences like that? So sad for them to only have one member of extended family.

I’m sure the nanny or Doria probably takes them, but I doubt as a family of four they all head off to the beach…..with the cavalcade of security

Makes you a shit parent when there’s no need to leave your kids for weeks on end.

It’s different if you have a job that requires travel etc, but that’s a job. That people work for money.

Nonody actually chooses to be away from their kids that much if they don’t have to. But he does. He has millions and doesn’t want to be around his kids.

Again, shit parent

I’m sorry. You’re the one calling a poster angry, rude and incorrect. I think the problem lies with you.

Work all you want but be there to tuck your kids in at night, when you got millions in the bank and have sold the world your sob story that you’re dad wasn’t around as a kid because he was a workaholic.

He’s been away….not working during the day….for weeks and weeks in different states and continents, choosing to not be with his kids.

He is a shit parent

I think a lot of parents with heaps of staff, full time nannies etc must be poor parents IMO. How do you get the opportunities to grow and learn as a parent if you are not hands on and not around that much? How can you have the same connection, patience, rapport, understanding, experience, context etc that goes with each individual child and is ordinarily built up over thousands of hours of day after day of dinner times , bath times, bed times, illness, tantrums, looking after them even when you are ill yourself and have a ton of other things going on. I just don't get how you can have the chance to become a good parent.

Very true @Alectoishome

Nosleepforthismum · 30/09/2024 19:21

I find it difficult to judge too harshly on his parenting as plenty of parents work away and unfortunately public appearances are one of the ways Harry can stay relevant and make money off the back of it. So it kind of is his job.

Twistybranch · 30/09/2024 19:23

Kind of isn’t his job. He isn’t employed by anyone.

He creates his own schedule

Onlyonekenobe · 30/09/2024 19:28

Not everyone is like you, @Twistybranch. You don't have to be employed to have a job. You don't have to be paid to work. You don't have to be present at all times and never voluntarily leave your children to be a good parent. Rich people also work and volunteer their time. Charities and the UN General Assembly and the Clinton Global Initiative and foreign governments tell you when you need to be where. You're digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole persisting with this, displaying an ignorance of how some other people live their lives.

JSMill · 30/09/2024 19:30

@Alectoishome you are right. You learn to be a parent through all those different experiences. Dh has a lot of rich friends who depend on nannies, drivers etc to look after their dcs. It's extraordinary how they struggle to interact with their dcs when the nanny isn't around. Sleepless nights, illnesses, tantrums are awful but also ways we bond with our children.

I’m digging myself deeper? I suggest you go back and check your posts up thread.

@Alectoishome Oh no - I advise you not to! It's really revolting.

I agree that using expressions or putting in 'in jokes' which will go above the heads of your intended audience is really tacky - and suggests you feel superior and have contempt for them. The roast chicken and waffle references say a lot about Meghan and Harry.

It reminds me of 2 things: it fits in with Meghan's comment that her eye-wateringly expensive wedding wasn't what they wanted - it was just a 'spectacle for the masses''; and something abut Blue Peter (in the old days!). Biddy Baxter, the woman behind BP, felt passionately about treating the young audience with respect, so when a couple of maverick presenters thought it was funny to include double-entendres in the programme, they got their knuckles rapped, and were soon let go. I remember Simon Groom was one, and he though BB was just being prudish. But she wasn't - she thought that he was being disrespectful to his audience, and that's what H & M are guilty of. They really do show their true colours.

You’re right . The wedding wasn’t what they wanted . They wanted Westminster Abbey or St Paul’s according to Harry . An even bigger spectacle!

Onlyonekenobe · 30/09/2024 19:37

Uricon2 · 30/09/2024 19:41

My DHs father was an officer in an elite regiment and got sent everywhere, but his parents held on to him and took him on postings well beyond the usual age. When he eventually went to boarding school (I think he was feral at that point, but another story) his Dad said "Never forget that wherever I am in the world I'm only ever a day away from you and will always come if you need me". This was a long time ago.

I think that's the key to parenting children when you're not always around really, that reassurance, but I think smaller children need a lot of proximity if possible. My FIL didn't choose to be away, nature of the job, and DH knows/knew that, they were very close. And he was almost certainly feral actually Grin

Abouttimeforanamechange · 30/09/2024 19:44

No, this is one thing I don't criticise Harry for. Diana Awards, WellChild and Sentebale are genuine, longstanding causes of Harry's, and as I think a pp said, the timing was probably not up to him.

Maybe he is away for a few weeks now, but he is (probably) overall at home far more than an average parent with an average 9-5 job plus commuting time. (How much hands on parenting he does when he is at home of course we don't know.)

The two of them jetting off on fake royal tours, or for polo tournaments, is a different matter.

Latest pics of William still with a beard ❤️ but then my H is bald with a light beard .

Here's me perving again 😂 he has such lovely kind eyes.

Twistybranch · 30/09/2024 19:47

He is rich enough that he can fly in and out and attend these awards without being away as much as he has chosen to.

The timing is entirely up to him, these awards didn’t just happen to coincide with one another. They want press for their cause, they know they can achieve that if Harry attends. So they will work closely with him when arranging dates.

He’s apparently terrified of climate change and the effect on his children, but thinks nothing of jumping on and off planes on a whim . So not that terrified. His entourage and all their huge cars , living in a huge house , his wife wearing design gear once. He’s such a hypocrite.

I have to say that the ample use of planes, including private jets, and the cars really bugs me. It's pure hypocrisy.

forevernumb · 30/09/2024 19:57

Yes it made me snort when I saw the headline about him being terrified about climate change for his children. 🙄

He needs to fit in with when the events are. How much influence does he have over when these big event are?

As a working royal he would have had more influence over his schedule.

So you think a meeting with Halo and the Diana awards on the same day in NY this week….was happenstance?

It's a bit harsh calling him a shit parent. Plenty of parents have to be away from home for work for long stretches. As an expat, you often have duties to attend to back home, which entail travel. I don't much care for the man, but I think you can at least credit him with loving his children and not being a shit parent...

...as I said upthread but, apparently, as a multimillionaire, he doesn't have to leave his children but chooses to which makes him the devil incarnate.* *
