And didn’t he say his inheritance from Diana is for his children?

So nice to have a surge of new posters, delightful to have so many new varying opinions!

RF PR in overdrive. There not getting enough attention so need to keep themselves in the press to justify the amount of money they are paid. It’s just embarrassing, like an episode of Dynasty. They know exactly what they’re doing.

RF not getting enough attwntion atm! The French state vist, Kate at Wibledon....

No. He said it was for this moment (them fleeing for freedom, without having your family sell you out to quash scandal). His feelings are valid (don't we say that on mumsnet) regardless of our opinions on them and the ageing queen's varying recollections

What on earth are you talking about?

Thedom · 12/07/2025 23:52

TBH, I doubt Charles is a very involved grandaddy, I imagine he is the kind who sees them every now and then, enjoys his time with them but isn't pining to see them, especially kids he has not seen for years and has spent no time with at all. I don't imagine he is Michael Middleton grandfather material.

Fridaynightfish · 12/07/2025 23:52

What I want to know is, if Meghan and Harry want a normal life for their children, why do they have a head of household? It’s like Harry trying to recreate his life with the royals but in a different place.

What to make of this??

What kind of fucked up family sends PR reps for reconciliation talks for father and son. They need to meet where the wind does not pass and talk. Father to son. Each say their apologies and commit to working on this privately not with aides involved. Aides have their own agenda and dont care about breaking up this fragile family. And life is too short to cut off loved ones. They will need many many talks to establish trust on both sides. It will be a new and different relationship but surely it can be more positive than it is now. Both of side are hypocrites when they preach love and harmony and can't speak and reconcile over a fairly non issue. Idiots the lot of them

Edited

What do you think Charles has to apologise for?

@RainbowBagels
Really, if Charles was any kind of father he wouldn't give a shit what the public thought if he wanted to try and see his son and grandchildren before he died.

Where do you get this kind of wisdom. 😎😁
Yeah Charles doesn't understand that without him acting like a father first and a public adoration hungry king last, his legacy is tarnished. 40 years from now people will judge him more harshly for not putting his son and grand kids before publicity.

If Harry was any kind of son , he wouldn’t have lied and attacked his father and family and then expect anything from them at all !
he’s made his bed thoroughly, now it’s time he laid in it.

Why would Charles “want to see his grandchildren before he died?” If he is nearing the end of his life (I sincerely hope not) why would meeting two children he doesn’t know be any kind of priority?

He already has family around him who love and support him. He doesn’t need the drama Harry brings.

Yes Jeff there are loads of new posters all over the threads today, wonder what brought the influx in????

I imagine that the self confessed Sussex squad member who made the thread , invited them!

shirtyshirt · 12/07/2025 23:56

I actually think this is a joint leak to gauge how the public will react. They didn't need to meet outside.

of course it's joint because why make it so public!

Yes, she did say she was in contact with a lot of them.

@LadyJaneGrey18 some people do not deserve any forgiveness!!

Yep, what's wrong with a text!

Indeed! Apparently though we are not supposed to mention it!
sad really, Meghan called for the truth, now the truth is trickling out !
as we all know you can’t plug a dam by sticking your finger in a hole !

Spectre8 · 13/07/2025 00:14

Unless you have proof od who leaked it then you can't definitely say who it is. Given that many of you preach on about facts and truth...

Thedom · 13/07/2025 00:19

It's a fact and a truth that Harry and Meghans' camp leaked it. The proof will be revealed at a later date, it always is !

jeffgoldblum · 13/07/2025 00:32

No smoke without fire , if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , chances are it’s a duck .. etc insert your metaphor here!
the stable door is so open , the horses have given interviews, it’s far , far , far too late to close it now!

HonoriaBulstrode · 13/07/2025 00:51

....privately it's surely no ones business.

No it isn't. That doesn't stop Harry spilling it everywhere, does it? He needs to show that he can keep his gob shut if he seriously wants to be a part of the family again.

Vespanest · 13/07/2025 01:19

If you've got to send in staff that a pretty big sign that any meaningful reconciliation is along way off. It's like solicitors only handing a divorce because their clients can't be in the same room. Charles may want to be in the life of his son but he's also Camilla's husband, William's father and Catherine FIL all of whom Harry would happily use as fodder for his next rant. Camilla especially, Harry has pure hatred for her.

EsmaCannonball · 13/07/2025 01:44

I guess the money really has run out. Drop-shipping generic jam hasn't founded a business empire so now Harry and Meghan want all the royal freebies back. Hope they are told to feck right off.

BemusedAmerican · 13/07/2025 02:05

Just caught up. No one has mentioned that the gift that Tony Andreae gave them was wine from the company that has supplied the palace since 1760. Sounds like someone at BP is trolling H & M. Looks like they didn't, thank God, give Tony a bottle of that As Ever wine.

I am viewing this as a meeting of the lieutenants of two organized crime families (no offense to the RF. If you ever watched "You've Got Mail" you will know that Tom Hanks's character sees everything through the lens of the first two Godfather movies. I'm adopting that mindset). It's Tony's private club. He knows the inside is secure. It's just him, in this secure position, meeting with 2 of H's latest flunkies.

The balcony meeting could have been a test. Will H's people pull in the press, the same way H ran to the press right after he last saw Charles? If they did tip off the press, then they obviously haven't changed, and BP now knows it.

Charles has three choices.

  1. Treat Harry like Fredo in Vegas, where he is watched and controlled and essentially babied.
  1. Completely cut Harry off and treat him as though he were dead. No contact, no money, just greyrock. Let Harry face the consequences of his actions.
  1. Dump everything onto William.

Let's see what happens.
