How can Harry be so deluded?

[HiRen]

The paranoia deepens

I don't really know what to conclude from this other than that Harry must feel the victim of a deep state conspiracy. Being a spoilt brat, and not understanding that he's there to serve his country rather than the country being there to serve him, can't help. Even if he did fear strategic delays, why would he jump to the conclusion that specific individuals have it in for him, rather than that there's a bigger picture to consider?

I just can't fathom the depths of misery and confusion he must experience on a daily basis. He must think his whole life was a lie until he met Meghan. I really do think things with Harry are much worse than they seem. Which puts an entirely different, and much darker, gloss on all of Meghan's utterings of her era of joy.

I honestly wouldn't want to be in their orbit. And I wonder whether those who remain in their orbit are desperate, whether as friends or employees. They're too much.

The dysfunctional family (of which their are plenty) in the case of the royal family is usually based on the principle of the hierarchy and lead to sausage gate. What does Harry do when he leaves the "institution" he created exactly the same principles. He has children that outrank his wife. A son that outranks his daughter and has more benefits if Archie has male children. At least the royal family hierarchy serves a purpose whether you agree with it or not. Harry's hierarchy is purely out of choice, I'd argue that makes him as royal as the rest if not more.

@Weepixiewhat are you insinuating?

Let us not descend to the level of the fanatical Sussex adorati. Please.

More so. He insists on the trappings of royalty even though he chose to leave it and move to another country.
Still he thinks the taxpayers should pay for his security.

For someone who complains endlessly about generational pain, H is doing his level best to continue it.

Instead of sausage equity, we will have birthday equity in another decade or so.

Gosh she really is a reincarnation isn't she 🙄

I really did think DiPoW was blonde!

Also business equity. Seen as Meghan sees a future for Lili with As ever and has never mentioned Archie’s involvement. Not even with his namesake, Archewell foundation/productions.

Archie seems to be very sweet and loving. You see in the pics she’s posted, of him hugging her leg, cuddling in when she’s holding him, holding his dad’s hand etc. Lots of boys around this age shy away from affection, too busy playing football or launching nerf gun attacks. So it just makes it even sadder, that he’s clearly a very sweet boy and yet doesn't seem to fit in the future business plans.

I’m curious too. You’ve made several remarks in that vein, @Weepixie?

Im suggesting based on my life experience and exposure to how things can appear very different to how they actually are, that time may just tell why Archie wrongly appears to be living in the shadow of his sister because of favouritism. I suspect his needs are different to those of Lillies.

HRH archie markle and HRH lillibet diana markle. Sonehow i dont think they will choose Markle!

Per H, Archie gets Invictus.

Despite the fact that Invictus is funded by mostly UK taxpayer dollars and the sole reason that H is still patron is because Head of State "King Pa" is burying his head in the sand.

But why would facts interfere with H's "reasoning" and desires!

Disney give out loaaaaaassds of freebies to ‘influencers’

even really minor ones

So it just makes it even sadder, that he’s clearly a very sweet boy and yet doesn't seem to fit in the future business plans

I find it shocking that people can assume the likes of the above without giving any thought as to why he doesn’t appear to be part of the business plan. Harry and Meghan have done some pretty awful things and I’m no fan of theirs whatsoever but maybe there are other reasons that aren’t yet apparent to the wider world and they’re not in fact heartless when it comes to him.

Do you think he has additional needs?

You tell me.

Very cryptic.

Not cryptic at all.

I genuinely don't think people should be going down that route. Please don't speculate about Archie like this.

@IsoldeWagner so you think it’s better to have the awful things written about how his parents favour his sister over him, how he’s an afterthought if that, when there may be very valid reasons as to why he’s kept in the background.

My opinion based on a lifetime of experience is that time will tell on why this is happening. We all look at things, pictures for example, and see them from our perspective and I’m not convinced that Harry and Meghan are the completely heartless parents they’re being made out to be in this instance. Others may look at pictures from the perspective of their job in PR or merchandising kids or whatever it’s called and immediately see that Lili is the money spinner and Archie is the outsider but I don’t because I know nothing about it apart from what I read here. But I do see things in the pictures that are familiar to me and I’m just not prepared to label the parents as absolute horrors in this instance.

I don't know, @Weepixie . Clearly you think that you do. I think Princess Lilibet does look somewhat favoured, and am baffled as to why they have made such a big deal of her birthday. I was assuming it's just the desperation to post on social media and get the likes, and it's just been convenient for them to focus on her as they try to remain in the headlines.
I know no more than that.

It does certainly seem to be Archie/Invictus Lili/whatever business Meghan has at the time (it won't be the successor to Microsoft, let's face it, all we've seen so far is stereotypically "feminine") I hardly think this is feminist or even takes any account that 2 currently very small children will have their own personalities and choices down the line.

Did anyone else read that Lady Louise (Edinburgh) is thinking of going into the military?

What a wild post.

If there were profound learning difficulties, which would make involvement in the future businesses impossible, I’m pretty sure we would know about it. Therefore, there isn’t really any indicator of why he’s not being spoke about in future business plans.

Lili has multiple pictures for her bday, Archie had one. Special needs or not, that shouldn’t make any difference to how much joy you're sharing about your child’s birthday

Lili having a special dessert named after her, Chantilly Lili for the NYTimes piece, why promote Lili again?

The splash page of As ever, has Meg and Lili. No Archie. What possible reason would he be left out?

Lili mentioned in the People article and on her podcast about future involvement in her business.

There’s no reason for Archie to be left out like this. Special needs shouldn’t be a factor in this.

@Weepixie , I really enjoy your posts but I don't think we can speculate about Archie having some kind of LD/ND. We honestly have no way of knowing. At the moment, I'd go so far as to say Lili may have the focus because of possible future business projects and the whole weird Diana obsession. Poor kid.

ETA Archie may just be a shyer child. If that's the case, they would be right not to push the spotlight onto him.

How can you look at pictures of Archie and say he has special needs. It wouldn’t make any difference to the love he has from his family but this is pure wild speculation.
