Why does Harry need to announce his visit to Canada ?

[Mylovelygreendress]

Harry has announced he will visit Canada for Invictus events .
The announcement is made while the POW is in Brazil undertaking important official business including representing KC at COP.
His spokesperson says the announcement had to be made at short notice for security reasons !
If this non working royal has security concerns , why announce it at all ?

It's very odd, isn't it. Publicity means security. Signposting my whereabouts makes me safe. Notifying the press ensures my privacy. I'd say it was almost Orwellian, but Harry probably thinks Orwell is a duck operated by Keith Harris.

Is anyone surprised, Thedom? Canada's a very decent country who got his measure when they were expected to pay for his princely whims, and there's a reason why other fake "royal visits" have needed to be to countries where the leadership consists of people even shabbier than he is

Crazy isn’t it ? 🤷‍♀️

The influx of new names to this board recently have resurrected the tired old why do you care? trope. I think there is panic in the war room now they know William can do whatever he likes without going through parliament, probably on defcon 2, under severe threat 😂

No one is “attacking” anyone. Has it occurred to you that posters may be making this point legitimately, simply because it is a valid point to make?

And there we have it! When republicans make genuinely held points; certain monarchists always respond by questioning the legitimacy of whoever is making a point they dislike!

As has been pointed out time and time again on these boards; regular name changing is completely within Mumsnet guidelines. If you have a problem with that, please take it up with Mumsnet HQ.

Therefore, it’s fairly obvious to conclude, that just because someone has a new name, it doesn’t necessarily indicate that they are a new poster or a bot programmed by Republic UK! Or , for that matter, that their pov doesn’t hold weight.

Normal posters, long-standing or not, with genuine legitimate views that differ to your own, are also allowed to express them and post on the RF boards too, without their legitimacy being constantly questioned.

Was there speculation about whether or not he’d attend like the annual shenanigans about Christmas at Sandringham (Will he/they be invited and will he/they attend?)

Bring generous I assume that he doesn’t want anyone like the DM being able to say that they broke the news of his trip and posting “first pics” to prove it. I think that this is news that Invictus would want to announce but 🤷‍♀️

What’s that phrase? One doth protest too much

Crying with laughter at the idea that I'm some sort of William fan. I genuinely don't give a shit.

I'm also not new...

I just regularly see these threads on active on Mumsnet (I don't seek them out) and am always confused as to why people are so passionate about such minor issues. I really, really don't understand why someone saying they are traveling somewhere is causing so much angst 🤷🏼‍♀️

First, as has been pointed out previously, this trip was planned months in advance so it was not intended to upstage anyone.

Second, it’s fairly obvious that Anne and Edward do not attract the same level of vitriol and threats as H&M. The same level of hatred hasn’t been stirred up against them globally, and nor do they have to contend with racist, right wing hatred, which is a growing threat.

Frankly, that’s rich coming from you BigWillyLittleTodger

So many of your posts are aimed at shutting down those who disagree with your pro-monarchy viewpoint.

Oh it’s you the essay writer who loves Harry, at least you don’t have to figure out who I am.

Anything more recent than 3 years ago ?
Also , maybe you could say why the trip had to be announced ?

But they do! How many times have people said ‘well what about Andrew then …’ or ‘why aren’t you interested in Andrew he’s far worse …’ there’s even a thread about more vitriol to Meghan than Andrew
H&M are constantly promoting themselves, almost all of which is pathetic and well worth a Winge / comment on their lies / mis truths / generally blowing up their own arses to try to make people think they’re amazing … we all know they’re 🤡🤡

** blowing smoke up their own arses

Don’t see it that way myself! People have different perspectives. I don’t think there is anything particularly bad about wanting to support charities when you don’t actually have to anymore. Rather the reverse.

Proportionately, if we are just going on the seriousness of misdemeanours, there definitely should be far more posts about Andrew. And yet …

There's a small group of regular posters who try to shut down any discussion about the wider role of the royal family by drowning it out with droning on and on about M&H and being just rude enough that anyone with a different view won't come back. On this thread I've been called dishonest, incapable of understanding, and so on. Nothing worth reporting but I can think of more fun uses of my time than putting up with crap from strangers.
I would be interested to know whether it's a conscious attempt to stifle discussion or whether the regulars here are honestly just that obsessed with M&H.

Well said. I’ve experienced exactly the same EllesmereP

Fwiw, just my opinion, but it definitely comes across as strategic to me.

I have to agree with this. He's hanging on to the coat tails of the RF while his grip is loosening.

It's elevating Remembrance 😂🙄

I don’t recall a time where Anne or Edward lied and moaned about their lot in life. Harry and Megan are now infamous and the vast majority take neither seriously and they are just laughed at with their latest attempts at relevancy.

Previous tricks - sending a wreath privately then having it photographed and outed ...hmmmm what can I do 2025 to make sure I'm noticed 😂 who can I visit ?

I think this is the point - the more Harry does the more pathetic he looks. He just can't stay away from the life he walked away from. He's like those people who can't stop an affair in Relationships.

Agreed. He made the choice with little or no real understanding of what it actually meant to walk away. A more intelligent considered person would have kept the doors open to go back should the new way of life not work out but he went for the scorched earth tactic which has meant he has no options and has clearly run out of ideas to keep himself relevant.

Valid points are not - why do you care? Don't you have a life? How sad are you? You have never met this person... blah blah. I'm not interested in all the Andrew threads littering the Board so I don't go on them and ask things like this. That's the difference.
