Well, according to her, she didn't even know who Harry was at one point either! Despite being an avid Diana fan.

And having watched William and Kate's wedding (according to friends).

Maybe the poor woman suffers from facial blindness 😂 it’s the only explanation!

When you post a picture on SM for a loved ones birthday you either pick a picture where they look absolutely fantastic or you take the piss with a baby picture or one where they just look awful. Given that Harry had been photographed by some of the best photographers in the world and looked half decent in some of them, I am not sure what Meghan was thinking with this. It does seem she is taking the piss.

Several thoughts here..
If the focus is on his Dad, why did he spend less than an hour talking to his father when he hasn't seen him for so long. The last meeting was half an hour or so I seem to remember. That is not any kind of relationship and doesn't suggest that Charles felt he had much to say to his son.

I think Harry is subtly trying to suggest that Charles is nearing the end of his life, which is a breach of privacy. He's obviously keen to be seen to be making amends, even if that isn't really the case. He isn't willing to apologise or admit he's behaved absolutely appallingly, just wants to brush his money making betrayals under the carpet. I am certain there are ulterior motives at play which are entirely self serving.

He really is an absolute disgrace ,

I must admit I didn’t read his comment that way. It sounded to me as though he might be making his father the excuse for more visits to the UK while he tries to raise his profile and popularity rating. For making the next year all about his “dad”, read “haven’t got much on and need the media coverage”.

Especially as next year leads up to the Invictus Games and he needs family there for the optics.

And having been asked on a quick fire Q&A video thing “William or Harry” years before - she replied “Harry” ….

2027 is a loooong way off for a 77 year old with cancer who is still having treatment coming up to 2 years after diagnosis.

Weepixie · 15/09/2025 18:58

@Everyonesawher I didn’t say it had to be the King. He’ll use anyone he can to get a way back in and if that means using his father by way of fostering some kind of relationship with other royals he will. Can you imagine it - look, it would mean a lot/ have meant a lot to my Pa/our Pa if some of you could show up for the games.

Thats probably how long the king gave him. He was calling the shots. Not Harry.

Agree “self-serving” is his MO.

He / they need the ‘glow’ from royal contact to flog jam, dirty laundry etc.

Even the Invictous promotional visit to Kviv he hijacked and diverted to talk about himself and attempt to ‘clear his name’ - so he can flog more jam, further rinse his dirty laundry to lay the ground to make more $$$$$$

Yes, poor thing! What a problem.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/09/2025 19:08

It’s like the twerking video, no one could believe she posted it, so it drove traffic to her Insta to see for themselves and gaze in horror

Interesting point, @Thedom; I hadn't thought of that, but it still seems a pretty mean thing to do, even though it's diverted attention from Harry's latest batch of lies

We are all assuming Harry will still be involved with Invictus !

Agreed.

As ever, I am of the opinion that Invictus finances contain enough red flags to generously outfit a communist party plenum!

I suspect Sophie and Edward will be the official royals representing the King and possibly Princess Anne, Beatrice and Eugenie as unofficial representatives.

StartupRepair · 15/09/2025 19:17

I think the photo is trying to make him a sexy soldier. Invictus (with all its red flags) is all he has left.

Compared to who?

The British Royal Family?

The British Press (has he ever read the comment sections?)

As Ever - delusional, grandiose, arrogant and entitled

The DM are just trolling him and using him for engagement because people will rush to the comments to tell him how much they are not on his side!

CathyorClaire · 15/09/2025 20:17

In the meantime does anyone else remember the journalist in Malawi, where Harry snarled "Don't behave like this" when she asked a perfectly civil question about his aims?

Yes. He was foul but the journo in question (Rhiannon Mills) is now rather inexplicably writing puff pieces about him Confused

I think he did say words to that effect in the Guardian puff piece though?

Obviously the bRiTisH mEdIa are still the embodiment of evil, but he's trying to flatter the 'British public' in the hope they might accept him back. Never mind that he's not had a good word to say about the country for years, and acts like it's so hazardous that he has to make his visits as brief as possible so he can go back to his empty life in California.
