Harry v NGN 2

[mainecooncatonahottinroof]

I don't think we're done talking - and I never start threads!

As you were!

And this is what big corporations do. They imply unless you are a "perfect" victim, you have no right to complain about your victimisation.

I don't care whether he makes a statement or not.

(Though I am mildly interested to know if he will do as PW did and donate the lot to a charity - or if he will keep all of it, or 95% of it if it goes to Archewell)

If he does make a statement, it's quite possible there will be things in it that I (or others) think is worth commenting on - what the nature of those comments will be would depend on what he actually says.

It's a shame when threads become cluttered and derailed with posts about other posters.

You are implying if you do anything wrong in your life, then anyone is able to commit any crime against you with impunity.

Gosh, isn’t that exactly the attitude many posters have in relation to Charles and Camilla? Good to know you don’t support that.

I'm implying nothing, I'm being fairly straightforward with my words , so you can stop trying to put words in my mouth that I did not say .
But for clarification I DID say that I dislike you holding up Tom Watson as some lofty paragon of moral virtue , to bolster you narrative of Harry being the big dragon slaying hero , who won his case , despite the fact he settled and neither side won or lost .
Find a different moral character to use as a shield .
My personal thoughts on the sun are neither here nor there ( I think they are scum) but facts matter in all things .

And I will add I made no comment about his case or settlement at any time or post .

If that's the case, he failed badly as NGN did not admit anything illegal.

And the extra money was for his legal costs. Those 18 cases were dismissed - why would they pay for them when the Judge said they didn't hack him on those specific issues?

is the story over indeed?

Also, why would an English court award damages in American $?

No. His lawyer made a statement, I don't need to hear anything else from him.
Happy?

I didn’t realise he’d have to split it, I thought they’d get individual settlements?

I’d be happy with £750,000 if anyone fancies doing a quick press intrusion on me?

This is just going on and on

You either value the statement that went with the settlement or you don't.

I personally think it publicly added validation and credibility to Harry's claims, and impacted their reputation. This is a great success for him

Those who don't like him won't think that. All the personal comments, emojis etc, reflect that.

I am not thrilled that it dragged on so long, took up court time etc. But I blame the media for this. Again, those who dislike Harry will just blame him, pretty predictable.

I am out of here. I just wonder what some posters are going to do with their lives now though!

He's the new "but Prince Andrew"

Don’t worry @sleepwouldbenice we still have his other court cases to look forward to !

Ahh , thanks @MrsFinkelstein .

A brilliant summary 🙌

The host was actually Ewen Venters. Camilla was guest of honour and the guest list was scores long.

Initial coverage (before the appalling Clarkson article) was about Camilla with Judi Dench. Even after that, then the closest any article seems to place them is attending the same event and that he was "circling round her"

Also that Camilla invited Jeremy and Piers to a press lunch the day BEFORE the launch of the last three episodes of H&M Netflix doc.

@Andtheweaselgoespop56 you might want to check that as I believe Camilla was invited, she wasn’t the host. The host was a chap (whose name I can’t recall) from Fortnum & Mason.

Sorry @EdithWeston I didn’t refresh before posting and see you have already pointed that out 😊

Also, the Queen's diary is booked months in advance.

Do people really think she conjured up this major event because her stepson and his missus were whining on a streaming network?

No worries - I often get out of step with posts!

I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if some people did think that 😂

I’m happy he hasn’t said anything. His barrister said quite enough. The less he says, the better. For everyone.

Beatrice and Eugenie had lunch with Piers Morgan fairly recently. Are we now going to say they are spreading rumours about Harry?

I don't think the press need members of the Royal family for stories, they have enough 'sources' for that.

Bigger issues have never stopped him yapping before...

This.
