And this is precisely why I believe that Charles must issue a statement!!!

I agree . I have had a couple of rants on here this morning so need to go for a walk to calm down!

I am rarely speechless ( ask DH) but words fail me . The arrogance . It’s as if he is daring KC to do something.

Can’t actually believe he said this. Even after all his appalling behaviour. Surely this will prompt some action finally.

Omg! Have you heard this? Harry says “the tour is not the royal family, but is part of the royal family and the sooner that is in everybody's mids, the better it will be."

Doesn’t he say…once served in the army, always served in the army?

It was at the Veterans museum.

I could be wrong though.

Thing is, there’s never any consequences for them. They fail upwards.

Im sure they will get some heat for this but not enough to cancel them. This is the most despicable behaviour, utterly grim to use people like this.

But I’m at the point, that like Trump, doesn’t matter what they do, they will get away with their behaviour.

Yes this is what I really don’t understand. Thinking about it, Harry must have something on them. Surely that’s the only explanation.

If this is true: 🤯 Anyone adhering to the RF remaining silent want to comment? Is this not half in half out? He’s absolutely trying to set up an alternative RF to rival Catherine and William - and doing it while his stupid father does nothing.

It’s amazing too, that in the early months of Archie’s birth, Harry said be sought therapy (he was stressed the poor scone) ………..because just a few short months before, his wife was suicidal and he had NO idea what to do and that she should seek MH care/therapy. He said he felt shame and then Meg the ended up asking HR for help.

The guy is an actual fuckwit.

Harry is proving, what a lot of people suspected at the time, they lied and orchestrated that to show the RF in a negative light.

I was going to type a wordy post on what I thought of PH therapy speech, but then I spotted @AtIusvue comment and thought I’d save myself the time and just use that instead:

’The guy is an actual fuckwit.’ 👍🏻

Well, I know it’s originally an Australian term, so felt very appropriate in the circumstances!

I'll comment!

Harry always says the quiet bit out loud. We know he thinks that he is still doing royal service, this isn't anything new. But what is striking to me is that he felt he needed to say it, again.

I believe the subtext is that Harry knows he isn't being treated in the same way as when he was a working royal, he knows he is only representing himself and he hates it. In the same way as they released the HIHO statement in an attempt to get their own way, here I think he is trying to force himself into the HIHO status he wanted. The very fact he has said it indicates to me that he isn't HIHO, he isn't being treated as royal and he knows it and is furious.

It doesn't matter that he is cos playing Royal with the wreath laying.
It doesn't matter that he insists on his titles.
It doesn't matter that he is doing charity visits.

It doesn't matter because in this sentence he is showing us that he isn't being treated as Royal by anyone that matters and he knows he isn't.

A statement from the RF is unnecessary. They have made it clear he isn't a working royal, Harry has made it clear that he knows he isn't being treated as a working royal. What is the point of giving him status and another grievance by repeating themselves?

Having said that they do need to remove them from the website and if Harry gets political the Government need to weigh up whether another clarification of their status, as in Nigeria, is needed.

I suppose they can have a special segment where she judges them , taking store bought food from one packet and putting it into another!! 🙄

It is objectively speaking hilarious. But I do feel uncomfortable saying that.

Not2identifying · 15/04/2026 09:26

I was also saying the RF shouldn't say anything so I'll chip in now Harry has made explicit comments about still being royal:

It's clear to me that he's absolutely desperate for a reaction and that is one reason to not give him one. I'm leaning more towards the press office directing people towards the statement, perhaps slightly reworded, that was issued at the time they left.

I still think commentators will draw attention to their grifting.

However, I do acknowledge that, at a surface level, which is as far as it will go for the vast majority of people, this will look like a PR win for H & M.

I think the RF are likely to take the long view. Will they still command attention in 10 years, 20? It seems unlikely.

Despite everything, I'm still leaning towards grey rock. I can completely understand why people disagree with me though.

Thank you for taking time to respond. From the discussion on the other thread, it appears that he wasn’t talking about the RF, he was saying “all” not “royal” and referring to military families.
