-no one can know for sure whether Harry is being sincere in the letter attached to the wreath but given his own experiences serving, and with Invictus, there’s every chance he is.
-while missing the marines event was definitely not good, wasn’t the Disney event around about the time that Meghan was suffering with her mh? Maybe Harry was putting his wife first if she was feeling a bit lost having always hustled and earned all of her life? I agree it was a tacky move though!
-given what we now know about the late Queen’s alleged handling of Andrew, maybe Harry had every reason to expect that he had more agency in these matters than he did? After all, PA seemed to do pretty much what he wanted!
-in fact, given the emerging PA situation, I’m beginning to think that Harry had quite a lot of reasons to be furious, seeing his appalling Uncle favoured and living in a £30 million pound house, despite he and Sarah Ferguson having been apparently operating HIHO for years!
Prince Andrew was allegedly making pots of private cash for himself in side deals while representing the UK as a trade envoy. A better example of HIHO I cannot imagine!
And the late Queen allegedly turned a blind eye to it for a decade, despite diplomats and MPs and unofficial intelligence sources allegedly coming to her with proof of PA’s corruption. Similarly, SF has been profiting off her royal connections for years!
And yet Harry and Meghan’s request to be HIHO and to do it overtly was denied? Very odd that isn’t it?
-the remarks that Harry made about kill counts were not boasts, rather the reverse, he was making the point how computerised weapons can distance you from the very human aspects of war. And lots of people, have been quoting this remark out of context ever since for their own reasons.
-It should be remembered that while Admiral West has enjoyed an exceptionally successful and distinguished naval career, he was a former Aide-de-Camp to QE2. He was also chosen to appear on tv many times after PP’s death explaining how PP could have had an exceptional naval career himself had he not had to give it up in favour of his royal duties. So if it’s the same Lord Admiral West it’s predictable that he would come out in support of the Palace on this.
