Thousands of people turned out to watch their wedding. They WERE accepted by the public.
The press were initially critical of the many occasions she did not follow royal protocol. However, they actually had a very positive press on their royal trip. The one they then laid into the press, who were baffled.
Many began to think they were hypocritical condemning flights for others, while they continued to fly all over the place by private planes.

You're obsessed with the royal family that's why you watched them. You read the news articles, the books you watch them when they do interviews, and their Netflix series. You want them to fail that's why you watch them. I read all the comments when they first got together and when they married "I can't believe the Queen allowed it to happen".

She hasn't been up to anything lately, has she? I thought she was relatively low profile these days.

Fergie is probably keeping her head down as the Epstein stuff is coming back into the news. I'm pretty sure there is still a large amount of horror yet to come

This reminds me of him previously saying he had no idea he had to ask permission from the Queen to marry Meghan, something basic he should have known, something many ordinary citizens knew. And also his confusion about his children not receiving titles when his father wasn't King yet.

I remember having an argument with a Meghan supporter here years ago who said it was disgusting that Archie wasn’t HRH when “hangers-on” like Prince Michael were, and it was obviously racism. She did not like it when I pointed out that Prince Michael had the title because he is a male line grandchild of a sovereign, while Archie at the time wasn’t. Apparently none of that was relevant (and she then accused me of racism as well for good measure).

We are watching a re-run of the greatest hits in a desperate attempt to shift the conversation.

What about Andrew? (H's godfather is irrelevant to the current discussion)
You're obsessed (DARVO)
No one wanted them to marry. (DARVO)
They fled for their lives (Outright Lie)

My sympathies Meredith Maines. You tried but your client is beyond help. Keep up with the pivoting and you may make it to Thanksgiving after all!

I honestly can't fathom why anybody gives a shit. He's not even a celebrity whose music we like or a good actor etc.

Mylovelygreendress · 15/09/2025 13:18

It will be interesting to see how the columnists who were proclaiming Harry’s visit as the best thing that could happen ( looking at you Amanda Plattel ) will react after this latest shitshow .

Weepixie · 15/09/2025 13:18

Falseknock · 15/09/2025 12:52

Yes give up you have no idea what they planned. The British public would never accept Harry marrying Meghan.

🤣

Oh my God. 🙈

I hope this is made up shit. Otherwise Harry you’re even more of an idiot than I thought.

@CarefulN0w I’m thinking of Baldrick’s ‘I have a cunning plan’ which is anything but!

He can deny it, if it is not coming from Team Sussex. In his position, that would be the smart thing to do, to emphasise to KC3 that this was not a leak.

Just stop. You’re setting yourself up to be discredited on every point you’ve made. Not by me though, because I can no longer be bothered providing evidence to posters like yourself that you couldn’t be more wrong if you tried.

Have you considered the fact that the Queen Mother may have died twice? And Harry remembers one death more than the other?

Well, anything's possible, I suppose. Maybe she transformed into a lizard at the moment of death, and it was the lizard that died later. Or maybe Harry developed special powers so that he foresaw the death early.

God forbid that he should admit that he was fantasising in order to try to magic up another reason to feel aggrieved.

Ratafia · 15/09/2025 13:27

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.

But he is now claiming that everything in the book is true and was itself setting the record straight. If he was genuinely keen on getting the facts right, he would admit he mixed this up and the book is incorrect on this one.

What should they have said before they left. Should they have brought up the bullying or the mental health that Meghan suffered from the press?
I am sure they were guided by the Palace on what to write before they left.

What about the consistent and persistent bullying reports from dozens of colleagues and staff of MM who witnessed and experienced degrading bullying behaviours by her - so much so that colleagues and staff had to leave their jobs and seek professional medical intervention to alleviate the mental injury MM inflicted.

These numerous incidents were reported before, during and after her time in the RF - by a wide range of separate and high calibre publications who would have watertight legal counsel for their evidence before going to print. And yet the highly litigious pair have not challenged any one of these exposes.

@CatHairEveryWhereNow @BigWillyLittleTodger

Unfortunately it's not so simple. If you don't stake the sapling, it will grow unwieldy, if you get my meaning.

Both Harry and to a larger extent Andrew, reveal that there has appeared to be little to no oversight over the educational attainment of the 'more disposable' royals, nor any serious pressure put to bear to contain errant or bad behaviour and ultimately no systematic attempt to develop awareness and appreciation of the grave responsibilities of being a Royal - by extension members of the highest eshchalons of society and ultimately huge benefactors of the good will of the people, which good will they ought to strive to maintain.

No amount of googling as an adult can truly make up for this lack of understanding. Harry lacks the fundamental principles of what being a member of the Monarchy (still relatively close to the throne when one takes into account the position of the wider family members) entails. He just doesn't understand his place, his role, his responsibility. It appears he doesn't even understand how he and his wife's behaviour will influence his children and the importance of shaping their future royal legacy. This is demonstrated by his not even bringing his children to England at major Royal events. Yet he insisted on them having titles!

William by constrast understands all these things.

Clearly effort was put to bear in William's case, and little to none in Harry's.

This is the fault of the late Queen, and the now King Charles. You can say Harry wasn't a good student, but that doesn't explain how he grew up in a Royal Family and yet appears to be entirely ignorant of these basic things, of the import of whom he chose as a wife and how she would fit in. If Meghan became depressed, it is because Harry did not have frank, sober discussions about what being a Royal bride would entail beyond the pretty wedding.

To make it all worse, the palace spun an image of him that wasn't truthful, and let him ride the benefits of that, rather than strive to ensure he had the training necessary to deal with his position in the family. Clearly now we know he experienced mental health difficulties and I doubt all that media spin helped.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 15/09/2025 08:29

He has a right to discuss his life. I think King Charles is dying, I think William is lazy and selfish.
Harry was right to leave the UK, the media obsession was disgusting, the DM continues to write crap about them.
Harry was the scapegoat to protect Randy Andy.
King Charles needs his support, the Einstein emails is going to damage the RF.

Don't you think it's a tad ironic to slag William off as lazy in support of a young man who skived off to another country rather than support his family and country? Particularly given that William has been bearing the brunt of supporting both his father and wife through cancer, and has had to face the possibility that his children would have to grow up without their mother, just as he did?

Yes William has had to have very broad shoulders.

It's been shit storm after shit storm. He should be able to rely on support from his brother, but it's not there, rather he is a constant problem. I really feel for him.

BeltaLodaLife · 15/09/2025 08:18

Seeing as the current King has cancer and Harry has just hinted that he may only have a year left, I think it’s pretty certain we will see William on the throng… seeing as we’re not in the middle of a revolution right now. Nothing is going to change. Anyone who actually no relieves the monarchy will be disbanded is just stupid. I don’t like having a monarchy, but I’m not stupid and realise that my personal preference does not a revolution make.

I do not want to see Willing on the throng (at least auto correct spared you saying on the thong. I couldnt bear that). But I think you are right. Like it or not we will see him on the throne. Geez

It strikes me that Harry is like George Duke of Clarence. Harry is lucky he isn’t living in the Middle Ages!

I mean him writing about his adult self rubbing Elizabeth Arden cream on his todger and thinking about mummy is certainly a very odd "correction"

Just in case you thought he was thinking about his dad. Or the dailymail. It was a pre-emptive correction

You do own it. The only thing I watched was their wedding with my partner and that was it. He was rooting for Meghan and their future babies. You all seem to go on about their interview and the their books you're obsessed.

They were very popular in the UK at the time of their wedding, @Falseknock .
Have a look at the UK newspaper headlines and pictures.

And doesn't H stress, in his book, how their popularity with the public was the reason the rest of the BF got jealous?
