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 remember that when it happened and feeling angry on her behalf. If she’s going to just suck it up for the sake of her career, it’s pathetic.

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!

I thought one of his personal friends from the Telegraph was taken on by DM to provide traction - Briony? Agree though it’s actually a form of rage baiting to post positive things about H&M as evidenced in the comment section.

The photo is from 2015, Acc to X and this is the original. Someone (Meghan?) has altered it and made it look so much worse!

The original photo isn't too bad. Still an odd choice for a birthday greeting, especially as it's 10 years old, but he looks decent enough in it.

Who altered it to give him that massive Beavis and Butthead forehead? And why would you do that?

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 15/09/2025 20:32

'Birthday boy' because she is his mommy, and the sad sack, bloody mess photo from pre-Meghan days to remind him that she 'saved' him, if only by introducing him to exfoliation and hair plugs.

Their relationship is very weird.

ILoveLukeAlderton · 15/09/2025 21:08

I notice that he refers to her as HRH in his birthday message to her posted upthread, but I thought they weren’t supposed to use that 🤔

Interesting choice of birthday photo from Harry's adoring wife.

''Get your hair cut and smarten up, Wales!"

It really is such a bizarre choice.

Hummingbirdtree · 15/09/2025 21:24

Why isn't Harry attending the Duchess of Kent's funeral? I've just looked for that photo for Harry's birthday. The message and photo are beyond bizarre.

justasking111 · 15/09/2025 21:38

I have taken an old photo of my husband with his dogs. But I've played with it until I'm happy with contrast, saturation, colour and I would have cropped and 🖼️ it.

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

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

It must be very tiring hitting the right balance in a conversation that you cannot trust not to be repeated. An hour is long enough.

I think the picture might be pre Mexit?

IAmATorturedPoet · 15/09/2025 21:46

I have just seen the birthday photo - what on earth!😂
Would love to know the thought process that landed her at that one.

ThatAvidViewer · 15/09/2025 17:03

It was a picture from before they even met. He was still with Cressida when this picture was taken. Beyond weird that she chose this unflattering picture.

Edited

Yes it was taken in Chichester at Goodwood in 2013.

The Tom Cruise connection is tenuous. Cruise likes to fly anything and has flown from there.

Harry had his ‘people’ set up his connection, as ever.

It is probably the shittest photo of him from that brief episode.

They don't care; royal status is really everything to them.

Why isn't Harry attending the Duchess of Kent's funeral?

To be fair, it’s his late grandmother’s cousin’s wife. I couldn’t name any of my grandparents’ cousins.

Portakalkedi · 15/09/2025 22:25

He's such an idiot. Can't this self obsessed pair afford to pay for professional advice? Or maybe they do get advice and ignore it, as clearly they think they know better. Everything they do is just embarrassing now.

Ah, come on. She was well known! Plus the late Queen always included the Kents at the Trooping etc. I've seen pictures of Harry at most of the Kent weddings. He certainly knew her.

Who attended his wedding. She was not a complete stranger to him.

And lived in an apartment in Kensington Palace, where he grew up

Are we still discussing the Harry in flying suit pic that M used?

If so It's from 2015 - check out the badge on his right side of his chest.

There's a whole batch of images here from the day, including the original of the one used for the birthday greeting.

I think it is odd that he didn't stay on for the Duchess of Kent's funeral.

I’m not saying she was - just that it’s not particularly shocking that he won’t be at her funeral. He’s (very publicly) stepped back from both royal duties and the Royal Family itself; given that they’re unlikely to have been particularly close, it’s unsurprising that he’s not attending when he wouldn’t be doing so in an official capacity.

Needspaceforlego · 16/09/2025 00:18

To be fair he's probably not invited to the funeral.
Hes pretty much LC or NC with his family. Trust has gone they probably don't want him potentally snooping around looking for fooder for his next book

Wasn't Harry next door neighbour to the Duke and Duchess of Kent for about 6 years when he lived at Kensington Palace? I'm pretty sure that Nottingham Cottage is next door to Wren Cottage.

BemusedAmerican · 16/09/2025 01:19

So, can all the people who signed NDA's put out their truth to counter those other truths?

Also, if Harry is indeed hinting that Charles has a short time to live, then William shouldn't be criticized for organizing his Duchy and spending time with his family while he still can do so.

Even within the RF she was so much more than his late grandmother’s cousins wife.
