What to make of the fact that he appeared without Meghan and looked quite anxious and stressed?

Halo Trust and Sentebale in Lesotho among others? They are easy to Google.

Here’s the full list of charities Harry has worked for:
Bob Woodruff Foundation
Canine Partnerw
Children in Crisis
Diana Awards
Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund
Dolen Cymru
Free The Children
Global Angels
HALO Trust
Help for Heroes
Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund
Joining Forces
MapAction
National AIDS Trust
PeyBack Foundation
Prince's Rainforests Project
Sentebale
SkillForce
The Countryside Foundation For Education
The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry
The Warrior Programme
Tusk Trust
UNICEF
Volunteers of America
Walking With The Wounded
WellChild

I don’t quite understand your question though? Surely standing on a stage is just one aspect of charity work?

That's not the full list

You've missed off African Parks (technically a non-profit organisation, but that amounts to the same thing - charity law and definitions vary between countries)

We could really do with an update on that

Who would want Meghan Markle’s life? I know people who are a lot more accomplished than her and lead great lives. I don’t know what she actually does in all honesty. The whole situation has been a train wreck and for a couple who claim to want to ‘do good’ all they seem to cause is trouble and upset.

Always accused of exploiting his ‘royal links’. He can’t undo his royal-ness, he’s a prince and son/brother of a king and that will ever change. His very existence is a ‘royal link’, let alone trying to do any work.

True, it's literally the only reason anyone knows who he is after all. He isn't talented, isn't particularly intelligent, has nothing to offer other than turning up to things other people have arranged and exploiting his royal link for money and/or for kudos.

Clutterbugsmum · 24/09/2024 09:29

For gods sake no wonder Harry would feel anxious, just look at the comments here.

Why on earth would anyone want to stand up and make speech when they know full 90% of people looking at you are just going to pick how you look/what you say and your body language to spread yet more lies etc. They are living their lives how they want, they are earning their own money and yet you want to moan about them. If they were living off the royal family then you would also moan.

If you not interested in what he is doing then stop looking, listening about them and get on with your own lives.

MrsLeonFarrell · 24/09/2024 09:29

I don't think that the Royal Rogue is a credible source. There is a group of four men on YouTube who have a background in body language and other profiling for law enforcement, I wish I could remember the name of the channelthough. They are far more credible because they are really hot on context and background and finding a baseline before you analyse. They did what I thought was a very balanced analysis of the Oprah interview.

The Royal Rogue is a spin off of his main channel purely to dump on Harry and Meghan. He takes tiny snippets and extrapolates and spreads nasty Internet rumours.

He ( and Meghan) could stop using their titles , stop insisting on their DC being Prince/ Princess, stop demanding to be called sir / m’am .
Yes Harry is the son of the King but for someone who has gone into great detail about how awful his family is and how awful The Institution is , he is certainly clinging on to the link !

commonground · 24/09/2024 09:32

Tbf, the award was in memory of Princess Diana, so you know, mentioning her is contextually relevant.

FloofPaws · 24/09/2024 09:32

Well said just a bunch of jealous losers who would love to have meghans life.

Wow that's hilarious, she's ridiculed and one of the fakest narcissistic bullies on the planet who literally has no talent or anything to actually say ... yes, very jealous!! 🤣

They're choosing to put themselves in the public eye in order to make money, why can't people comment? I'm sure you have no issue with people complaining about the RF, and as thats literally the one reason he has these opportunities why can't people comment?

Princess Mako from Japan literally left her royal titles to move to a 2 bedroom apartment in New York with her commoner husband. She turned down a payment from the Japanese government to start her new life. I believe that she worked at an art gallery while he was studying for the bar exam.

Surely that is the definition of the work of most, if not all of the RF? He is not an outlier in his family. He is a product of his family.

You would want to do it because you believe in the cause, want to draw attention to it, explain what it's doing, why it matters etc.

Yes, loads of people are nervous of public speaking (which is why they rehearse, hire coaches etc) and make sure their message is more about the cause than who they are.

That's why I think Harry hasn't been very good at this recently. He needs to work on the message and showing the actions/effects of the causes. There are a lot of words, but no where near enough about the actual deeds. I suspect he does not have a good speech writer on his team

Aye, I'm not a fan of the Royals either. That's why it's so weird so many people who also dislike them like Harry and think he's great.

"
The royal family is unravelling and Harry and Meghan would have been one of our biggest assets on the world stage. It really is such a shame that some senior members of the royal family allowed their jealousy of the couple to overwhelm them"

I don't think so 😂😂😂😂

Lampzade · 24/09/2024 08:39

The RF would have Harry back in a heartbeat if he was willing to ‘toe the line’ and willing to enter into a Faustian Pact with the Murdoch press.
They would welcome him with open arms if he left his mixed race wife and two kids in the US
and returned to pick up the slack.

All would be ‘forgiven’

Absolutely. I agree they're both twats and should not be using their titles or titles for their kids when they live in the US.
But I do suspect that a lot if the ' Harry needs to leave her and come back to the RF/lying on visa forms/ fake/surrogate children' is about Harry not only leaving Meghan in the US but also his mixed race children.

CathyorClaire · 24/09/2024 09:49

They are living their lives how they want, they are earning their own money and yet you want to moan about them. If they were living off the royal family then you would also moan.

We don't know whether Pa is still subbing his darling boy but since said darling boy is on record as not wanting to touch St Diana's legacy and the commercial deals are collapsing like the house of cards they always were while he continues to live a luxury lifestyle there's a bit of a conundrum there.

What we do know is that the taxpayer is underwriting Harold's vexatious legal cases, his unnecessary blue light cavalcades and the costs of bringing Invictus to a bankrupt city with more expense to come.

We also know given his own way he'd offload premium year round security costs onto us without a second thought so yes. I'll moan about him if I want to.

Really? Someone paranoid someone is going to kill his and his family who calls his family The Institution? Someone who can’t show any loyalty or discretion with a history of drug use? Someone who thinks his sister in law and father are racists? Someone who has no interest in history or his own family and ancestors?

I think any member of the Royal Family worries about death threats

The rest of the family refer to themselves as The Firm. ‘The Institution’ isn’t too big a leap and it IS an institution in all senses of the word.

I don’t think his family have shown him much loyalty.

He’s likely not the first royal to use drugs. Or the last.

No idea about the racism but I can imagine Kate PA asking about the colour of the baby. Always struck me as a bit of a Mean Girl.

No idea if he cares about his ancestors and don’t care if he does or doesn’t.

Mylovelygreendress · 24/09/2024 09:53

@TheActualAudacity

In what way has his family not shown Harry loyalty ?

Lampzade · 24/09/2024 05:33

Give it a rest ffs
Some of you really want Harry to be depressed.
You can’t fathom that he might be tired or having a bad day ( like many of us) or that he might actually be happy. Every facial expression is analysed to death. If he smiles you say he is faking it. Absolutely ridiculous and funny at the same time.
Some of you just love to paint Meghan as this kind of manipulative Lady Macbeth figure. You continue to infantilise a forty year old man.

This man and his wife appear Ito be very content in the US. He had made this clear on many occasions but his detractors are trying to prove otherwise
His detractors want him to come back to the royal fold with his tail between his legs. I honestly can’t see that happening any time soon .
The royal family is unravelling and Harry and Meghan would have been one of our biggest assets on the world stage. It really is such a shame that some senior members of the royal family allowed their jealousy of the couple to overwhelm them.

@Lampzade Well said 👏🏼👏🏼 I am sick and tired of all of these people who like to dissect every word and movement. I am glad that they left, the media and the public were and continue to be so toxic about them. We can never see anyone happy and the media enjoy tearing them down on a daily basis.

Considering how unpopular he is,(and Meghan) the majority do not want him back, not many people have respect nor trust for someone who lies about their family and tries to destroy and humiliate them in such a public way, the result is that it totally backfired on him and his reputation has been destroyed with the majority of the public.

He is totally out of his depth, and looks like he knows it. He has nothing of value to say, but I do think it’s good to finally see him doing something, anything, without Meghan sidelining and poking and prodding him like he is the village idiot, I don’t know if it’s his drug use or what, but he looks like he is totally in the wrong place and would prefer to be anywhere else, his confidence is shot, that’s one sure thing which is evident.

I agree.
It’s a huge pity that it seems that unless Meagain is clinging on/prodding/patting him he appears lost.
He may once have been popular in Britain but the hideous selling his family secrets for money has scuppered his return, in my opinion. No one would want to say or do anything in his presence for fear of being attacked in his next outburst/book/film/whatever.
I wouldn’t trust him an inch.

I don't think he ever enjoyed all this publicity and only really did anything in the public eye for his family or a charity that he's working with. Years ago he had friends who used to go to university near where I lived, so I frequently saw him in the local pubs, just being a normal young lad. I think he used to purposely go to places without the press but since meeting his wife he now chooses to live and go to places which are full of paparazzi. I don't think he'll ever be comfortable in these places such as New York and LA. He does seem very tired looking now.

EdithWeston · 24/09/2024 10:06

That seems unlikely to me, because of the adverse commentary in the press about how her commoner genes might mean an unacceptably swarthy heir.

What the heck is this? You can imagine ? 😂 you can imagine someone you don't know or can even name or don't know what they look like and their thoughts?
