Thinking long term about H and Me lives and their children's lives where is the funding going to come from and is there a serious risk of the funding drying up? I especially think of the children who I would expect would go to a private US school and ultimately will be US citizens perhaps pursuing US jobs. There is huge competition for celebrity status in the US and no nobility as such so how do they for in? Does the link to the RF quickly become an irrelevance ?

That really is not a very nice comment. You are already writing the children off, saying they won't be sensible, hard working or down to earth... they are only very little, how mean.
Imagine if someone said anything remotely like that about the Wales children.

I hope people leave the children alone and let them grow up and make their lives at their own pace.

I think the poster is referring to the influence these children are exposed to. We know nothing about the children, long may it stay that way, but the future doesn’t look promising.

The titles are barely thought about except by those incensed that they have them. The surf photo showed half of his face, big deal!
I cannot understand any criticism for keeping your children private... it's not 'creating an aura around them', it's protecting them.
I get some people are desperate to see the children... all for the wrong reasons unfortunately.

They were happy enough to parade their DC for their Netflix series , including Archie in his bath .
Presumably that’s different as they were being paid !

Mylovelygreendress · 07/01/2025 15:06

Oh and the titles are very much thought about by H and M who use them at every opportunity!

BustingBaoBun · 07/01/2025 15:09

Dear oh dear. One comment and you unleash all of that. As I said, the titles will be forgotten about as the children grow up.
I don't understand what you mean about William's children, or small children the size of a handbag, but don't worry about explaining.
I refuse to criticise a couple who keep their children private. I respect them for that.

I haven't seen them referred to as Prince and Princess by harry and meghan so missed that.

What influence? You mean their parents?

Yes, I agree with you, long may it stay that way. Well done the couple for keeping them away

IcedPurple · 07/01/2025 15:15

Who exactly is 'desperate' to see these children?

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:15

I think keeping their kids out of the public eye is fine, they are not the only celebs who manage to do it.

However, I think the fact Harry smokes dope and takes hallucinogens on a daily basis must impact how he parents and interacts with his kids, I think that would have a bigger impact on the kids than Harry's paranoia about their security and privacy.

I agree. It's a good thing to do.

Can you link me to a reputed source that says that is what he is doing now?

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:21

On Saturday (4 March), he spoke to Dr Gabor Mate, author of The Myth Of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing In A Toxic Culture, about his use of cocaine, marijuana and alcohol.

Harry said “(Cocaine) didn’t do anything for me, it was more a social thing and gave me a sense of belonging for sure, I think it probably also made me feel different to the way I was feeling, which was kind of the point.

“Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.”

The duke also told of using psychedelic drugs such as ayahuasca.

He went on: “It was the cleaning of the windscreen, cleaning of the windshield, the removal of life’s filters just as much as on Instagram, these layers of filters.
“It removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, release, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold on to for a period of time.
“I started doing it recreationally and then started to realise how good it was for me, I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me

No one said he does it on a daily basis

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:23

Harry, in Spare, said he smoked it on a daily basis, every evening.

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:25

"Late at night with everyone asleep, I'd walk the house, checking the doors and windows. Then I'd sit on the balcony or the edge of the garden and roll a joint."

BustingBaoBun · 07/01/2025 15:27

He said 'did'. Children change you. I used to partake from time to time. Children stopped all that for me.

Who knows what Harry does now. Unless you do. (don't think so).

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:31

I don't know what he does now, no one knew he did it then either until he disclosed it.

He said it is one of the fundamental parts of his life that changed him, why would he quit if he believes it helps him. How would you know he has quit and doesn't do it now.

" I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me"

Explains a lot. The paranoia, memory lapses, etc

Exactly, we don't know what he does now.

Because he got married.

Because he's got little children.

Life changes. Other influences take over. We all change

Solanumdulcamara · 07/01/2025 15:41

paranoia and anxiety can be caused by smoking dope. Perhaps that explains a lot.

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:42

Has Harry said he quit? are there any reputable sources that say he quit?

It is very possible that he has, but it hasn't been reported.

He spoke about smoking dope in California - once married and with children. And of course it is legal there.

MerryMaker · 07/01/2025 15:49

In California there are marijuana stores. It is viewed there as far less harmful than alcohol

Thedom · 07/01/2025 15:59

I totally get that he may have quit in recent times,, but I don't believe he has ever said he doesn't do weed or hallucinogens anymore.

Weed is legal in a lot of countries for recreational and medicinal use,I think hallucinogens may be too, however it does change your mood and behaviour with ups while consuming and then downs afterwards..

MerryMaker · 07/01/2025 16:06

@Thedom why do you care? He is not a Royal. He does not need to tell us if he is taking drugs legal in his country. He will have nannies and staff taking care of the children. I do not see why anyone cares at all about this.

Thedom · 07/01/2025 16:10

I really don't care in the slightest😂😂 I am commenting on a public forum discussion..
