I think he's going cap in hand to ask for money. I really hope he's not got the nerve to ask to come back!

Who cares who did what. The thing is, a reconciliation no matter how tricky it might be would be welcomed by most people.

People and commentators holding grudges, judging others and constantly denigrating H is not what people want to hear, they want a good news story and most will forget the past shite, once KC, W and families are even talking to each other. That's what they should be trying for now, especially with the difficult health issues going on in High Office.

@Justanotherdramalama hope he didnt offer him a house on a royal estate for his family to stay in!!! harry knows he needs to get back before charles pegs it!! wouldnt be allowed in if it was just william and kate! hopefully, charles will have heeded some of the vitriol from members of the public against harry's return!

Edited

Good grief never thought of that, good point. Honestly I would be absolutely livid if they two came back. I am 100% sure they want as Mrs H has had a penny dropping moment that she's only queen bee when in the fold.

Really ? The Abdication in the 1930s is still talked about - nearly 100 years ago !
Diana is still frequently discussed nearly 30 years after her death .
I doubt if the public ( and family) forget H and M’s behaviour.

Yes they will, because the youth of today who will be in their 70s/80s in fifty years time don't give a fk about any of them even now. It's those slightly older that do, and they'll be all dead.

William is the prick. I don’t care what went before, life is short and blood is thicker than water

I disagree.

Not about William, I’ve no idea whether he’s a prick or not. Just generally, I don’t think that someone being your sibling means you have to accept whatever treatment they want to give. I’m speaking generally, not about whatever happened between William and Harry, because I’ve no idea. I just think no one is owed forgiveness, and “but we’re family” is used a lot by people who behave badly and don’t want to deal with the consequences.

Yes it’s quite abusive when you think about it, no one expects a woman to stay with an emotionally abusive husband, yet somehow on here posters expect siblings and parents to no only put up and shut up but welcome their abuser back with open arms and forgive everything they have done no matter how awful because you know, blood 🙄.

What a lovely Mother you are @VivienneDelacroix 💞

I try.
Sadly I have learned the hard way - from my own mother who is controlling and emotionally blackmailing, and with whom I have a surface-level relationship based on her expectation of what I "owe" her. I don't want that for my children. If I've made mistakes I want them to do what is best for them to live a life that it's their own and one of emotional peace. I only hope it wouldn't come to that and I would be more self-aware and than my mother.

Nagginthenag · 10/09/2025 19:43

'William is the prick.'

Say what now? In the face of Harry and Meghan’s clownishness William has behaved impeccably, and like an adult rather than Harry and Meghan’s petulant, childish and jealous antics. If he came on MN and wrote a post about how his wife and father had been treated by his brother and sil, he'd be advised to go nc and have nothing to do with them.

Why is it up to William to try and repair the damage caused by Harry and Meghan? Why should he and Catherine have to accept their snide and ridiculous behaviour? Harry and Meghan are the ones who blew the trust out of the water. They've realised their mistake and should be the ones apologising for the last few years.

I think with Harry having made his life in California a reconciliation is of little relevance/interest to a lot of people.

It's a family matter.

these peoples are all strangers.

Logically growing up royal & rich there will be a fair bit of prick behaviour.

basinbasin · 10/09/2025 19:45

Why are so many strangers invested in them continuing to feud then?

Untailored · 10/09/2025 19:46

William has behaved impeccably? Didn’t he punch him in the face?

QueenOfHertz · 10/09/2025 19:47

Family matter with a very high profile publicly funded family.

wiminny · 10/09/2025 19:47

allthemiddlechildrenoftheworld · 10/09/2025 19:35

@wiminny william is not a prick at all!! presumably, you have never had a broken family!! some breaks cannot be mended!!

He is the future King and has public responsibilities to lead the country's future trajectory as Head of State. If he persists in shutting off his only sibling and refuses to even meet with him, then yes - to me he is the epitome of prick.

And au contraire re my experience of a broken family. I have seen it all believe me, and I know how awful it is. But I still hold out hope and doors are always open.

HurdyGurdy19 · 10/09/2025 19:47

I would hope that Harry's side of the conversation was along the lines of, "I'm so sorry dad. I've been such a fool. I really miss you, and hope that we can have some kind of reconciliation and relationship, given that we have limited time left".

Justanotherdramalama · 10/09/2025 19:52

Sorry have to disagree William has handled the shit show caused by H&M with grace and decorum. Just because one day he will be king doesn't mean he should put up with shit from his so called family. I imagine in that world you really need people you can trust around you.

You've changed the narrative for your own children and broken a pattern, that is amazing @VivienneDelacroix. You definately deserve some💐

Ps. Sorry to have derailed the thread!

Would you say the same of Meghan, who has shut off her father and refuses to speak to him or meet with him?

I wonder if there is a tv programme that they both like and could watch together.

The Crown?

Succession?

Whatever happened to Baby Jane?

Weepixie · 10/09/2025 18:53

Jesus 🙄

Like lots of other men the King could live for years with his cancer.

we are not informed of his cancer

Untailored · 10/09/2025 19:23

This is exactly why that family and everyone in it is totally fucked up. A son can’t go and see his father without photographers lying in wait, everyone discussing what it means and even a BBC breaking news alert to tell us all. Christ, what a way to live.

I'm sure they could have arranged a private meering, if they'd wanted to, with the resources at their disposal. But H has benn pushingmthe.reconciliation narrative publicly since As Ever failed, and wanted the publicity.

MinnieCauldwell · 10/09/2025 20:06

wiminny · 10/09/2025 19:26

William is the prick. I don't care what went before, life is short and blood is thicker than water. All W will have is Anne, Eddie and Andy really until his kids grow up. So the future King, not the current one is the person to focus on now.

I am glad father and son met. Hope things have thawed a bit between them. Camilla is the bogey here though.

What a mad dysfunctional lot they all are in that gilded cage. At least H got out, and despite his big mouth has a lot of integrity for leaving the madhouse IMO. The rest of them continue to be well.... a bit odd to say the least of it.

Harry never intended to leave. He and M thought they could do a 'collab' with the late queen, going half in and half out of royal duties. Queenie told them no in no uncertain terms and they flounced. Now they need a little royal gloss to have any relevance before tge Wales kids grow up and Harry slips further away...

PullTheBricksDown · 10/09/2025 19:57

Meghan is not and never was a member of the (blood) Royal Family. As an in - law her relationship with her father is of no consequence to anyone but her. The brothers and their father on the other hand are RF and as such have had a privileged upbringing. They need to pay that forward. All of them.

Get the soother dummies out of their silver spooned mouths and live in the real world, where every move and utterance is viewed, parsed and analysed. That's the reality for them, so they should play the game properly. They are our representatives and we are watching.

LinedOverLatte · 10/09/2025 20:07

I wonder if it’s because KC is more ill than we think, and this is a reconciliation and goodbye type of chat?

Livelovebehappy · 10/09/2025 20:10

Must be so difficult for Charles as to what topics of conversation he can have with him. The trust must be gone totally. If my son had sold stories on me, I’m not sure I could ever feel comfortable sharing anything with him again. Harry showed Charles who he was, so I hope he doesn’t make the mistake of trusting him.

MadeInGrimsby · 10/09/2025 20:11

IMissSparkling · 10/09/2025 18:36

I hope Charles did a Wagatha Christie and told Harry something completely outrageous and untrue!

I'd bloody love that 😂
