So I have a question that had never occurred to me before. Was Harry ever an IPP? Did he just assume he was because William was and because he had full time security at that point in his life?

No @MrsLeonFarrell, Harry has never been an IPP, he only received the same security that those he accompanied received, when on official tours ( 2 I think) before leaving he was afforded security as a representative of the queen.

Can I just clarify ; is Harry wanting 24/7 armed security provided only in the U.K. or is he wanting it regardless of where he is ?
I recall the statement ( which was removed) that he was an IPP and wondered if that’s what he is hankering after .

I think ultimately he wants it wherever he is - I think his current argument is that he needs it in the UK, but were he to be awarded it I suspect we would then very quickly get an new argument that if it’s proved he’s so at risk he needs security in the UK then he should also be entitled to the same thing overseas. Harry doesn’t want to have to fund his own security and what he wants is way disproportionate to what he needs.

So his whole fight over security is another example of his feelings being facts in his head. What an idiot he is.

Pretty much! , let’s not forget that the way his brain compiles memories , means there is just as much truth to his words, as there is in actual facts! ( or some such nonsense!)

It's almost like he wallows in this stuff reminding himself over and over again how " spare" he really is.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 03/01/2026 12:09

As others have said, @Mylovelygreendress, it seems Harry just wants others to "do it" for him, whether "it" is providing his security, paying his bills or sorting out his endless messes

Like "humanitarian" and "environmentalist", IPP appears to be just another label he fancies applying to himself ... not on any credible basis and certainly not in order to contribute, but purely because of what it can do for him

jeffgoldblum · 03/01/2026 12:16

Let’s not forget his self declared lifetime of service that apparently has spanned 35 years!! , clearly Harry believes “serving “ is just being him and being seen.🙄

Exactly, jeff - the whole thing is a pretence and not a very good one at that

Edited to add that, as for the Sentebale thing, it eventually failed to reflect credit on him so naturally will be consigned to the past

Mylovelygreendress · 03/01/2026 12:24

Thanks all for ( sort of!) clarifying what he wants . I wish I had taken a screenshot of his statement about security . In Spare he said he told Meghan “ they” would never remove his security . Oops .
As someone else said , he just assumed he would be treated the same as William .

Trimmernow · 03/01/2026 12:29

MrsLeonFarrell · 03/01/2026 11:01

They do need to change their rhetoric. Even in the magazine article before Christmas it was notable that when meeting school children Meghan talked about her experiences rather than asking about theirs. Humanitarian work needs to be focused outwards not inwards.

Yes, Michelle Obama went public to give M&H personally this advice in an interview years ago.

So true puzzled , I’m going to admit something here that I may have mentioned in the past, previously I had very little interest in the royals, to this day I have never bothered to watch a programme, a wedding, a jubilee or a coronation! , I wasn’t a fan of Diana particularly, I didn’t give the late queen or Charles much thought, they were just there in the background as I lived my life.
but , I never thought much of Harry and his “laddish” behaviour previously, it was only when they started behaving like a soap opera that I noticed, I’m unimpressed with his behaviour but not particularly surprised, he’s as delusional and entitled as his uncle ( who’s behaviour also didn’t come as much of a surprise to me either, the rumours and clues have been circling for years) .
currently I find myself hugely entertained by the epic cock ups!

Very quiet here this morning. Seems like the west coast pigeons are still roosting. But expect the flock to descend attempting to disrupt and derail shortly…..

Shhhh! 🤫😆 , may I suggest that we just chat as we wish and ignore any attempts? , I’m worried about posters being deleted and possibly suspended.

Similar. I am a republican from a former colony. I find the binary assumption that anyone who is here for the shits and giggles of watching the self created downfall of the delusional and grandiose pair is a royalist both amusing and ignorant.

I can’t believe these two provide this pantomime for free and then to see their pigeons (in rapidly decreasing numbers) desperate attempts to deflect just adds to the spectacle, fun and frolics.

Here’s to more nonsense in 2026!

Agree, I just scroll straight by when I see certain names, I think it’s better not to engage at all.

God he’s insufferable. I’m pretty sure he hasn’t been invited back so there’s no need to announce you won’t be returning!

the Mail story paints a bleak picture of the charity’s finances but by all accounts all the damage was done while Harry was fully involved and in the picture. I hope they manage to recover without his toxic influence, although it really shines a lot on his character that he’s actively still trying to harm the charity by talking in the press about its “tarnished” reputation. If he cared about the charity and not just his own ego then he would want it to succeed even without his involvement.

Anyway he certainly can’t throw any stones about financial mismanagement given he and his wife have had to close up shop on their own foundation because the expenses far exceeded their income.

Hmm

If that's an example of Liam Maguire as the new Sussex PR lead, 2026 is going to be unpleasant.

BemusedAmerican · 03/01/2026 13:34

The majority of the comments that I read are blaming Harry for Sentebale. Dr. Sophie had announced months ago that they would close the London office and concentrate on Africa. She needs a few years to clean up after Harry.

I can’t decide which of these two quotes will define this next PR era:

"If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas,"

Or

”Never wrestle with a pig, because you both end up dirty but the pig loves it”

Either way it’s going to be a cracker of a year from the front row of the pantomime. A heady and delicious spectacle of desperation, delusion and ineptitude.

Honestly they are gift / grift that keeps on giving. Can’t wait. 🍿🍿🍿
