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 ?

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 really need to read a thread properly before commenting.

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?

Why would you include a lie in your summary of his behaviour?
Meghan was cheering for LA. Harry was supporting the Blue Jays. Meg even said in her post, “Sorry your team lost H, but mine won.”

He wasn’t supporting LA.

Yes @BemusedAmerican, I've wondered for a while why he hasn't linked in with any of the US veteran charities. That would seem to make sense, and would probably make him better respected.

That is really unpleasant.

No mention of Harry by True Patriot Love. No mention of Harry being a sponsor. No mention of Harry on their Invictus page either. Looks like they do very well on their own .

???? Why would I want a hug?
if the queen hadn’t changed things this is exactly what would have happened!
perhaps read things in context before commenting.

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 😂

Why not ? He has such a negative image with some charities in the past year or more so it might be a better contribution.

Wasn't he wearing a LA cap?

They were both filmed, wearing LA Dodgers caps and cheering for LA Dodgers, at a game where the Dodgers were playing the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays won that game.

The Instagram post came later, after a different game and after some media criticism. The Dodgers had then won the World Series.

I'm not saying he shouldn't do that. My point is that the main benefit any royal or celeb provides to a charity is through raising awareness of it. That doesn't really happen if it's all done in secret.

The problem is it’s the wrong kind of attention. The charities barely get a mention

The true patriot love foundation is led by the former ceo of the royal foundation.

Virtually all the coverage at the last 2 ( maybe 3) Invictus Games has focussed on Meghan’s clothes and the multiple changes .
We know a few Veterans and they are really disillusioned by the whole Harry and Meghan show and are not participating again .

Because their PR are nothing more than trolls now, trolling for column inches, why else would they send a brief to all the media outlets announcing his trip on the day William arrives in Brazil, why announce his trip at all? Piggy backing on the RF again.

On another note, the Earthshot promotions are mighty slick, really impressive, and William always looks gorgeous in a pale blue shirt, 🔥no need for his wife to have to convince an audience that her husband is the hotter one of the two princes.

W is in Brazil to tout his eco - credentials.

Any sense of irony appears to have escaped him.

Indeed, Cathy, though looking on the bright side at least it's being said he travelled commercial
Of course these things could perfectly well be done via Zoom or whatever, but then the delegates wouldn't get to enjoy some luxury fleshpot and we can't have that can we?

And good to see you back, @jeffgoldblum; you've been missed and I hope you're feeling much better Flowers

Exactly and I highly doubt that anyone could name an actual participant off the top of their head or what discipline they won.

I realize that I am about to raise some heretical views but Harry has been in the US for 5 plus years. He expects us to provide security. He gets awards. He wants us to watch his shows and buy his wife's products. He recently was talking about becoming a US citizen. He has the governor of CA defending Archewell 's apparent inability to file its paperwork on time.

Yet he gives back very little. LA is not a bastion of exclusiveness ( unlike Montecito). Ordinary people are standing up to ICE and donating time and money. Due to the SNAP cuts many people, including veterans, are facing food insecurity. If he really wanted to give back, he could donate food and time to a food pantry. Maybe he won't get huge PR but he might get a sense of accomplishment.

BemusedAmerican · 04/11/2025 14:23

Everything he does in transactional. I'm not a saint by any means but even I read something and think "I don't really need to buy X. I'll donate that money instead to that worthy cause." With Harry, it all seems to be "well, I need to bring in a camera".

Dear god, @BemusedAmerican, I was aware of some of the costs the vets were expected to cover but didn't know about that!!

Surely some sort of policy participants can join is the sort of thing Invictus should be arranging? Come to that who are the people running this thing now?
It's true several high profilers have gone, but now I'm wondering if there's anyone left who isn't a "mate" and who prioritises the cause above Harry Confused

I see nothing “heretical “ about your views @BemusedAmerican!
and I believe that you as an American have every right to criticise a foreign prince imposing himself and his views on your country, and especially after 5 years draining the coffers while the actual citizens are in need.
