The RF are in a bit of a dilemma I feel. It’s hard for a parent to cut off a child. The door will always be open. A sibling is a different story.

Remove their titles. Harry can be HMW and Meghan can go back to Meghan Markle. She’s so famous now, she doesn’t need to be a duchess.

They’ve brought their tiltes into disrepute, imo should have been done long ago.

OctopusFriend · 16/04/2026 07:39

Indeed. However, it's the perennial victim narrative, isn't it?

Plus, 10 years ago she hadn't even met Harry, so I've no idea who was trolling her then.

The fact that Australia has rolled out the red carpet really highlights, for me, the fact that America hasn't done that.

They appear to be loving the attention and I agree that they'll target Commonwealth countries again in the future.

I think William and Kate's circumstances have contributed to this a bit. It's been an age since they've done this kind of work abroad. It's not their fault Kate was too unwell but it has created a vacuum in their generation.

Completely agree . I have said before that I think KC is proving to be a disappointing, weak Monarch . Yes he is H’s father but H and M are taking the piss out of the Sandringham Agreement .
Has he learned nothing from the York mess ?

We all know Harry does very little by way of 'work', whether at home or anywhere else.

The way he talks about the kids is almost a fantasy. Didn't he say something in an Invictus related interview about how he explained to Archie the importance of 'invisiible disabilities'? When Archie was what, 3 years old?

I really don't think there's a lot of hands on parenting going on in Montecito Manor.

Edited

Exactly, actually parenting, especially of young children is about being there and doing it, not talking about it to a crowd of randos.

What's with all the lying on the floor?! In that article Harry was lying on the floor in the foetal position when he realised something, something, blah, blah, blah .. and I seem to remember him saying that he came home to Meghan lying sobbing on the floor too (back in 2019?). Didn't Meghan buy them a couch at one point? I've had some very challenging days in my life but I never lay down on the floor to cry about it - if I saw someone doing this I would think what a drama lama!

Janiie · 16/04/2026 08:05

I really wish someone, anyone would challenge them publicly on their silly claims, for eg 'don't you think your books, tacky chat shows and reality shows attacking the rf may have caused the online trolling of them? Can you not see that you have actually been online trolls too?'.

Indianrollerbird · 16/04/2026 08:18

According to the Guardian, Harry will be attending the last post ceremony for Anzac Day on Saturday. I'm honestly disgusted, and I don't think BP are letting this slide, I think they are complicit.

You only imagine how all those employees she bullied must feel, but I think it is par for the course for bullies to deflect.

“it is extremely common for bullies to portray themselves as victims to justify their behavior, avoid accountability, and manipulate bystanders. This tactic, often called DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), allows them to maintain a positive self-image and control by blaming the actual victim for provoking them”.

In "Spare", Harry recounts many episodes of Meghan collapsing on the floor, weeping. It seems to be a thing with them.

They never get challenged. They're like spoiled children who get away with causing trouble. No interview (and there have been many) has ever put them on the spot.

Yes true i just wish someone would point it out to them very publicly. 'But you're just as bad? What about all the hurt that you have caused?'

H obviously thinks his non stop blabbing is defending himself but it would be nice to see the rictus grins wiped off their faces by someone saying 'but you troll thr Royal Family and actually made a career and money out of it!'.

I think that their bullying and trolling will eventually be called out. They can't carry on with this dishonest behaviour forever.

Lockupyourbiscuits · 16/04/2026 08:35

If they keep telling everyone they are a victim it will stick - this is their tried and tested tactic and it works
It helps that they actually believe it

someone mentioned Michael Jackson earlier and there are definitely some similarities- he was addicted to fame / attention- / obsessively hid his children/ blamed others for his failures and surrounded himself with yes men

He was so idolised even when repeatedly accused of child abuse people still adored him and didn’t question it- how strange is that !

it won’t matter any bulling/ crassness they do or even if the Sentebale ruling is upheld, H and M are following their victim script and many will still idolise them

because they are famous and “victims”

What is really interesting about this trip is the lack of interest with the general public in Australia.

There is a Reddit page for Australians, 350k weekly visits, there is one post about their aboriginal walk with 1 comment which is a meme of the south park ‘privacy tour’ LOL.

Very good points, @Lockupyourbiscuits . Plus even though they're rich, titled and privileged, they like to milk the "underdog" myth.
Leading a life of victimhood isn't healthy.

But who ? Dan Wooton or Piers Morgan come to mind but H and M wouldn’t let either of them come within 50 feet !

Is this real?? How can you tell? , It can’t be real can it?

Their interviews are micro-managed from inception and nobody with any negativity towards H&M would ever be allowed near them. They will never be put on the spot, never be called to account and never be exposed as manipulators, bullies and liars. I've had some sympathy for them both over the years but this 'trip' has done it for me.

Just a random heckler who snuck in, shouting out 'you're trolls and you've cashed in on it' would do me Grin.

I think this is something we can all agree on! But unfortunately the random plebs are kept far away and those in heckling distance have been vetted beforehand!!

I know!!! It’s so difficult these days to know what is real! , I’m hoping it’s not but the fact I can kind of see it being real, says a lot really 🤷‍♀️
