If he wants back in with his family he better keep it zipped. And that includes not telling Meghan.
The bridge is very very fragile.

Yes all those pesky "friends" of Meghan's that can't seem to get their traps shut 🤔.

has been 5 years since H temper-tantrumed out the door...I can't blame H for what he is but I can side-eye people who chose to be shocked when H continues to display exactly who he is over and over again

Someone once did something to me so bad that I couldn’t believe it had happened, it was unbelievable. So anytime after that they did something else, it still continued to shock me because I couldn’t believe that either.

Just my thoughts that I’m still trying to work out.

When William is King he knows he will lose his title.

I'm not sure if William could do that, maybe the Sussex title but he was born a Prince. If they do lose the Sussex title then his wife will be Princess Henry of Wales.

Yes, and imagine accusing your family of racism. Clearly, on Oprah. Imagine then denying it later on and saying it was the "British media" who did so.
Imagine saying Archie wouldn't get a title because of above claims, yet he is a Prince and Lilibet a Princess.

Imagine, too, feeding names to that insect Scobie so that he could disclose them in the Dutch version of his book and then pretend it was the publisher's mistake

Meanwhile, another gem of a quote from the Guardian piece: “Nobody should feel embarrassed or ashamed about their disabilities. It’s about flipping from sympathy to admiration and respect”

Pity that, as an "adult", he thought the matron story an appropriate thing to tell ...

The monarch can grant or revoke princely titles at the stroke of a pen.

I agree it's highly unlikely William would do that however.

Even a born prince? Son of the previous reigning monarch?

Kind of neutralises the whole concept of monarchy. So if William hadn't had kids, and Harry was next in line, and William became king, he could just strike the next born monarch from the line?

ThatCyanCat · Today 09:44 Did the Queen Mother actually die in debt without realising it?

The Queen Mother was pretty clever as she placed a lot of her assets into a trust fund for her great grandchildren 7 years before she died. This is the trust that Harry got several million from when he turned 21 and the bigger part of £8 million last year when he turned 40. By doing this she avoided a lot of taxes

I think her daughter the Queen paid off her debts

The gamble that foiled the taxman

The Queen Mother's longevity has cost the taxpayer millions in lost inheritance tax revenue, it was becoming clear yesterday.

Yes. Royal titles are in the gift of the Sovereign.

The Queen of Denmark removed princely titles from 4 of her grandchildren a few years ago.

I think it's extremely unlikely William would remove Harry's titles, but even if he did, that would not affect his place in the LoS. That could only be done through parliament, and with the approval of all the 14 overseas realms.

Well I expect William will be feeling quite chirpy this morning whilst resisting calling his father and saying 'I told you so'.

Or alternatively, he'll be spitting feathers because his brainless baby bruv has told the world that his dad isn't expected to live more than a year. It reminds me of the parable of the prodigal son which I've always hated because it's so unfair on the sons who stayed behind and worked.

I don’t see how his statement regarding the King can be taken any other way than implying his cancer diagnosis is more serious then we are led to believe or indeed terminal.

Outrageous behaviour when Charles has clearly wished to keep any information private and damp down speculation.

I think if the Royal family take him back now in any official capacity he will tank them all.

I can't imagine that his father gave him any details about his health or prognosis, knowing full well that Harry would be blabbing to all and sundry. It's yet another of Harry's version of events, edited for the greatest impact. I love how he had to ask his wife's permission to go the the Ukraine!

ShesTheAlbatross · 15/09/2025 10:03

To be fair to him, that could be a genuine misremembering - is he confusing the queen mother’s death with Princess Margaret’s maybe, they were less than two months apart. And then apparently no one fact checked the book to confirm dates etc.

I'm surprised he confused the two deaths. That ski holiday would have been pretty memorable for him - it was shortly after he was busted for doing drugs at Eton, and it involved his first official press photo shoot after that controversy (this being the official photo shoot of him with his dad and brother with the press at the start of the holiday, so that they would leave them alone for the remainder of it). When the QM died, he flew home in the same transport as his father and brother, according to the BBC, which also would have been memorable because they weren't supposed to be traveling together by that stage as the next 3 in line to the throne. But as you say, a bit of fact checking by the editors at Penguin Random House would have discovered any mistaken memory and corrected it. A 30 second google search brings up the news reports of the time. But I imagine it suited Harry's victim narrative to not do so, and make out that he was coldly informed of his great grandmother's death and left in isolation over it.

Thedom · 15/09/2025 10:39

I also think the other mercenary side to this appearance of a rapproachment,,is because it would be very bad optics for him to show up at his father’s funeral if they had never appeared to reconcile.

It’s a bit like the unnecessary mad dash to the UK when the Kings cancer was announced, he was going straight into an Invictus PR campaign in Canada and knew how terrible it looked that he had caused his father and family so much hurt.

I think William and Harry are both damaged by the actions of their parents. They saw, heard and read too much as children.

Yet despite all that one son has been able to have a happy marriage and children. What's Harry's excuse? I wonder if he would have been the same if he had married one of his long-term girlfriends or would he have had a happy family and been a support to his father and subsequently his brother?

The King of Sweden removed HRH from his grandchildren by his younger children (Carl-Phillip and Madeleine) and declared they would no longer be working royals in 2019. Only Crown Princess Victoria's family have HRH status.

Harry and Meghan were supposed to stop using their HRH titles when they stepped down but it's clear they still do - Meghan even has stationery and sends out gift baskets in LA as HRH Duchess of Sussex

JudgeJ · 15/09/2025 10:45

I saw the Oprah interview
It was no more shocking than other celebrities reveal all interviews.

From what I read about their OW performance it wasn't so much an interview than an opportunity to say what they wished totally unchallenged, knowing that the people they were attacking would be unable to contradict them. The phrase 'recollections may vary' was masterful, 'you're telling a load of lies' without using the words.

It does seem like he's itching to blab about the meeting they had last week. So far no details have mysteriously leaked but wonder how long that'll last particularly when he's back in the US.

It's similar to the comment he made on US TV about his popping home to the UK and making sure QEII had "all the right people" around her. As if that had anything to do with him or that he had any influence or control over who the head of state chose to have around her. It's a very small man puffing out his chest and wanting to make himself look important and in the know, giving the impression that he's in the inner circle and influential. Whereas he's just a gossip really. All this "getting my truth out" bollocks. He's just gossiping to keep himself relevant.

Well, if he believes the British public are behind him, he only has to read the thousands and thousands of comments proving the vast majority of the British public cannot stand him and do not want him anywhere near the UK in any role, charity or not.

The jokes about his comment on his wife’s ‘words of wisdom’ on truth telling are so funny. Princess Pinocchio is alive and well in Montecito.

William can take away the Prince title if he so wishes, removing the Prince title is easier than removing the Dukedom which would have to go through parliament.

"An insider" is little different to "a source", @Rhaidimiddim, but there are really only two alternatives ... either USWeekly's made it up or someone's blabbed

I'd say I hope it's the former, but TBH I've more or less given up hoping things like that
