Prince Harry's Wreath

[Profhilodisaster]

So apparently Prince Harry has asked someone to lay a wreath on his behalf to honour the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
I know the military meant a lot to him but he's being called out on it as he mentions his grandfather. I'd like to think he did this with the best intentions but the cynic in me wonders if he did it as a dig at William for only posting a message on social media.

I think Harry has made mistakes but they are nowhere near the level of mistakes Andrew has made.

^^ This. And to try and liken Meghan dancing in the delivery suite as some sort of grifting crime as bad as Andrew is just laughable!

Please don't tell me that Harry is now committing the crime of the century for shock horror laminating a sheet of paper ... just hear yourself 🤣

I only come on these threads for the laughs honest I do!

I think his tribute was heartfelt, personal and I liked it. As a PP said he would've been criticised for not doing anything as he's criticised for breathing even

I'm not angry. I don't think Harry showed William up, they both released statements in their own way. I hold Harry to the same standards as every other minor royal. Just because some people think one way doesn't mean everyone does.

Exactly! And we can't have that can we lol

Some random comment on Twitter means nothing to be honest

Of course it did. Minor royalty could be bothered to send a wreath. William got someone else to post a statement.

Still no explanation about why Harry didn’t criticise Andrew in Spare .
Is it a case of grifters sticking together?

You believe it showed William up, I don't. We can agree to disagree.

I agree with a lot of your post. It is important to remember what older generations sacrificed; but the World Wars are history now - taking to the teenage grandsons about them is the equivalent of having talked to me, at the same age, about something that happened in 1895.

The institution of the monarchy should help us move forward, but I don't think it has in recent years. The Late Queen got stuck at around 1970.

I think W& C's approach - putting together initiatives that are directly relevant to young people, then building ceremonies and celebrations around them makes the RF more relevant to the younger generations. Like the Earthshot awards and the Catherine's Christmas concert.

Haven’t read it so I don’t know. I’d imagine it’s because it’s a very murky area and saying the wrong thing could easily bring about a lot of legal issues.

Given Andrew's siblings have made no statements, I am not sure why a nephew should. And he is friendly with Eugenie I believe.
I think if Andrew's two brothers or sister had made some sort of comment, he would have done. But as usual they say nothing.

Harry usually relishes a legal fight !

they are not some random commenters, they work tirelessly to make sure the forgotten veterans are remembered.

Why ? Because Harry criticised his father , stepmother , brother and sister in law for silly reasons ( lipgloss anyone?) yet his uncle escapes any harsh words .
Andrew’s siblings haven’t written books slagging off family members .

He was also very quick off the mark to deny physical attacks on Andrew and defend him from the allegations that he insulted Meghan.

This.

Andrew is an utterly odious individual, entirely morally bankrupt and a horrific stain on the Royal family as far as I'm concerned. He is a nasty person on every level and should have been dealt with severely right from the beginning.

Harry's a bit of a twat, a spoilt brat and a whiny, entitled numpty with very few working brain cells. Harry's made a mess of his life and blames everyone but himself which gets real tedious real quick. I don't like him, I find him very annoying, but he's nowhere near Andrew's level of rot.

On William's absence: I would usually be forgiving but I do think this was a misstep. This was important enough that I would have liked him to have been there. However at the end of the day The King is Head of State and William isn't.

Probably because he could see that whoever it was that had actually attacked Meghan was using Andrew as a scapegoat and that is also unacceptable.

You just explained Harry’s silence about (only ) his uncle as it being a murky area and saying the wrong thing could easily bring about legal issues?

but why would he even comment to rebut something that doesn’t show him in a bad light and frankly makes Andrew look worse for making comments about Meghan?
why stir up comments for no reason? , why defend his uncle when it raises more questions about his motives?

i don’t see it as a defence. Merely stopping other members of the family getting away with pretty shit behaviour.

But he isn’t doing any such thing!
either he is silent about Andrew because he fears reprisals or legal issues or he’s not.
andrew would never say or do anything if he had said things about him in spare anymore than his other family members have, Andrew wouldn’t take legal action against him because discovery would likely bring other things to light .

people have questioned why he never said anything but as always it was forgotten, then here comes harry making a mountain out of molehill and bringing it to people’s attention again , obviously people will question why exactly these stories were worth the trouble, why he wants people to think he has a postive relationship with Andrew ( now the most unlikeable and nefarious royal) .
he should have continued saying nothing.

Yes, that's so odd, isn't it? Criticism of the others on a petty level eg Kate and the lipgloss, but Andrew? Or even Fergie? Tumbleweed.......

Again.

it wasn’t relevant. But you will find every reason under the sun to criticise Harry, but not the members of the family standing by Andrew.

I think you have the wrong poster. On the recent Andrew thread I was very critical of him and his grasping wife.
Stop making sweeping and incorrect assumptions.

I think your summary is spot on, @jeffgoldblum . I find it strange, but every single time someone mentions it, they get heavily criticised.
Interesting.

I disagree . Harry was angry that he wasn’t allowed half in half out so it would have been the perfect opportunity for him to say that it was unfair when his Uncle was creaming off millions through shady deals .
