Why does Harry need to announce his visit to Canada ?

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 ?

The Queen “changed the rules” before George was born in the event that if he had been a girl she would have only been titled as lady and a subsequent brother would have been titled Prince in effect outranking the Heir to the throne, so no I won’t berate William or the late Queen for wanting a first born daughter to have equal status to sons, but maybe you feel differently.

Yes it was something that should have been changed years ago!
imagine if Charlotte had been born first , heralded as the heir and then George is born and she’s literally pushed aside! Then Louis and she’s further shunted down! , it happened to Anne ( although she wasn’t the heir) , it’s about time women were granted equal status to men in the aristocracy, they still don’t inherit the same now in 2025 ! 😡

Yes I’m glad the Queen recognised this and issued letters patent, the “Aristocracy” should move on as well.

Yes they should! But we all know they won’t men like that want to keep women down where they think we belong! 😡

Or maybe it’s all about W keeping his children in the position that they are in. They will be the hangers on of the future the dreaded spares x2.

I think things are going to change. Non serving members of the RF should not retain any title regardless of who their mother or father is or was. The RF are there to serve the people of the UK and Commonwealth and they remain in this position because the public wants them to be there. If they don’t serve they should have no title. I suspect Harry’s kids will lose their titles as they will very unlikely to ever be working Royals.

Differing opinions doesn’t mean there isn’t any substance to my comments. Who are you to judge?

But here you are clearly judging someone

Totally agree and I hope William is the one to do this.

jeffgoldblum · 04/11/2025 12:48

I too agree @Benjithedogand @BigWillyLittleTodger, it’s time to streamline and modernise the monarchy for a modern age !
only working royals should have titles and the privileges that go with them and definitely no titles from the U.K. being used to gain money and influence in other countries.

Or no-one could have titles, they could be awarded once if someone was deemed suitable to represent the UK and was old enough to have an informed opinion and so be in a position to consent. The public could choose who was worthy to serve as our representatives, maybe by a vote? That would stop unsuitable characters sneaking through by accident of birth.

Harry is a dick, a " look at me in my pretend Royal role" . He is a sad person. I bet he is seething with rage inside.

Terrible human being. He is infinitely worse than alleged trafficker and fraudster Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and as traitorous as alleged Nazi collaborator Edward VIII.

We need to take away his grace and favour home, remove all public subsidies, get him to repay public funds used to modernise his home, and have him exiled to some far off land. That'll learn him.

Er, hold on...

You are describing politics and the government, the monarchy doesn’t work like that and isn’t a popularity contest.
if there is no monarchy there are no titles it’s simple as that.

Well of course that is an option that should go to the electorate if the government of the day want to pursue a republic, in the meantime we have what we have and it needs reform which I’m sure William recognises.

That’s called a republic and something which the UK isn’t. Andrew is at last getting his just dessert now by losing everything and I think most people in the UK are glad about this.

Hmmm there must be something going on in the royal family that they need the press to distract from so yep let’s go back to Harry. He wasn’t the press focus for 5 minutes there.

Harry announced it. Doh!

bubzie · 04/11/2025 12:56

William is going down a storm in Brazil ! 😊

Viviennemary · 04/11/2025 12:58

He's a total pain. If he wants to be a VIP swanning round the world and getting press attention he should have stayed a working royal. About time he was demoted to Harry Windsor.

Unfortunately as France, America and other republics can no doubt attest this doesn’t stop unsavoury characters sneaking through.

Hug? If Charlotte was born first then she’d be the heir. Wouldn’t matter how many brother’s she had born after her. It has been changed.

Sex doesn’t matter. First born is the heir, regardless of sex and they don’t get pushed aside when a boy comes along.

You have a bunch of republicans on this board who bring up " but what about Andrew" at every opportunity . It's a tactic to try to stop any discussion of Harry and his wife.

The reality is that most people in the UK think Andrew is an entitled pratt and are happy that this is happening to him. They are not illogical though to extend this to the whole of the RF. They simply don't care that much - too busy thinking about what disaster the upcoming budget is going to bring. They know rich men shag 17 year olds. They know power brings corruption in all spheres. It's not new. It's happened before and it will happen again.
Back to the topic Harry looks like a sad wannabe announcing a trip to Toronto - yes these things are mentioned in the press as HARRY tells them. The column inches are falling down the pages rapidly with these two however.
Meanwhile William is wowing it in Brazil while Harry tries to hold onto his past and Meghan tells people how to boil water.

BemusedAmerican · 04/11/2025 13:12

The real question is why won't Harry leave Canada alone:

Canadian security sent on coffee runs back when he lived there

Going over the head of the Minister of Crown - Indigenous relations by visiting Indigenous tribes.

No insurance for Invictus Whistler participants so one vet who got injured is swamped with medical bills.

He was invited by True Patriot Love Foundation, which has a C plus rating
https://www.charityintelligence.ca/charity-details/566-true-patriot-love-foundation

Cheering for the LA Dodgers last week against the Canadian Toronto Blue Jays and making sure he was seen all over the world.

Why can't he volunteer in a hard- hit food bank in LA?

No one wants to start a thread about William it seems. They just want to talk about Harry: I get it, I do.

MellyBM · 04/11/2025 13:15

Of course he can do charity work but why not stay under the radar if he is so paranoid about his security ??

Surely the main way Harry helps his charities is by drawing attention to them, and that means appearances and announcements? He's not sorting donations in the back of Oxfam 😂
