Is this turning into a Bash Harry thread?
Likening H to AMW is beyond a joke.

Every thread has to be one of those, surely you know this by now?

😆

Then when we all get fed up and don't post much they can all nod sagely and agree that we were bots trying to deflect from the one and only relevant thing that is of any importance on the RF section.

Only one unrelentingly acts paranoid and yaps on about security threats and family members wanting his wife dead.
.

The other doesn't need to yap about security (or all the undisclosed amounts it costs us) yet is notoriously secretive, reluctant to shoulder 'duty' and very enthusiastic about personal privacy and exclusion zones.

Two cheeks of the same arse.

It's why I find Charles's attitude to harry so awful. He has seen it with his brother, spoiled, indulged, no consequences, bailed out constantly, living beyond his means and look where that has ended up. Charles is the same with harry as QE2 was with Andrew. Harry like Andrew is out of control and it won't end well.

I think the entire trio are the best poster boys for a republic we could possibly have.

always does. even though they have loads of ground hog day threads.

I really dislike the way H is mentioned in the same way A is. they are not comparable.
I really hope that B&E get to lose their titles. it is crazy that they have kept them.

Wtf

I’m no Harry fan but he’s many notches better than Andrew. People love to snark about him and his biracial wife though.

TheAutumnCrow · 22/04/2026 14:09

Can we stick to Andrew MW and his circle?

I really hope that B&E get to lose their titles. it is crazy that they have kept them.

Strongly agree with this.

I don’t know how all this will end, but I hope William can sort out the tangled mess he’ll inherit from E and C.

NewAgeNewMe · 22/04/2026 16:15

William should get rid of Prince and Princess and HRH unless working royals. This includes his DCs. George as heir can be HRH and a prince. Deals with Harry and his family and the yorks in one fell swoop.

BillericayDickie · 22/04/2026 16:27

see there again Harry and the yorks being lumped together.
the yorks are on a whole different scale to H.
but yes no more titles for non working royals.
(but means W&K would have to do some work lol)

NewAgeNewMe · 22/04/2026 16:50

Yes the Yorks are on a different scale. But the Sussexes are no angels either and more importantly, it deals with the future issues of HRH, titles going forward. Do it for the whole lot.

BillericayDickie · 22/04/2026 17:16

If it means never seeing Mike tindall again, I would be happy 🤣

He doesn’t have a title 🤷‍♀️

NewAgeNewMe · 22/04/2026 17:23

Tbh, if I’d been Beatrice or Eugenie, I’d have given up my title, as soon as there had been a whiff of a scandal.

I agree. Everyone knows who they are.

He won’t do that. All he cares about is enriching himself and his family.

Me too but I reckon they’ve been conditioned by their parents to milk it for all it’s worth. Both A and S act as though they are higher beings and it seems to have rubbed off.

simpsonthecat · 23/04/2026 07:47

But no more.
AMW holed up on the Sandringham estate and Sarah sofa surfing between wealthy friends and exes or pulling in favours from health spas or retreats. I have often wondered about her sister and three half siblings. They obviously distanced themselves a long time ago because they are never ever mentioned. That says something.
B&E need to look at their parents and think, is that what I want for my life? And rein it in because they will never be free from scrutiny by the media

Gonefishingithink · 23/04/2026 07:51

I didn’t even know she had a sister or half siblings. That’s odd.

JSMill · 23/04/2026 08:11

Is her dsis still alive? Something in the back of my mind tells me she passed away. She led a very different life and probably a much more fulfilling one, as a farmers wife in Australia. I forgot her father remarried and she has much younger half siblings.

simpsonthecat · 23/04/2026 08:23

I understand her sister Jane is still alive lives in Australia.
She has three half siblings through her father's second marriage.

NewAgeNewMe · 23/04/2026 08:24

There were rumours I think that she went to Australia when all this latest business erupted. I assume to stay with her sister.

She was most recently spotted in a Chalet in The Alps - then some US celeb said they had been putting her up - before that she had been staying at a spa in Switzerland and then one Donegal….

AnnunciataM · 23/04/2026 12:15

Her half-siblings are much younger, maybe around Prince William's age. They were young enough to be page boys and flower girls at her wedding.

AnnunciataM · 23/04/2026 20:01

Interesting Substack by Norman Baker on where the York sisters' money comes from. How on earth is Beatrice qualified to be "in the inner circle at a gathering of global energy CEOs"?
