Could be ! But I’m no longer able to give him the benefit of doubt, not when neither can keep their traps shut for even one day! 🤷‍♀️

There's no conspiracy against them - that's paranoid!

Why ???🙄🙄

What is actually really sad is that in this instance taken in a vacuum, there is nothing inherently wrong with this!
but his previous behaviour has basically tainted everything he does now.

@FenellaFeldman You're right, I was vague. In this case, it's possible that GB News may have asked Harry for a quote. Some news organisations may find royal drama (of which Harry has been a reliable source for more than half a decade) profitable.

Indianrollerbird · 22/05/2026 18:54

Dan Wooten has been scathing of GB News becoming a Sussex mouthpiece since he was sacked from there. He calls their toyal
reporter the new Omid Scobie. This whole coverage of veterans was probably set up as an opportunity for Harry to give a sound bite -more PR pre Invictus. He’s trying to court the GB News viewership, which includes a lot of veterans, but also a load of Reform/Restore voters who are not his natural fans.

Oh my god, how desperate must he be?!

Oh I see.....yes, I can imagine Harry would provide a reach seam of gossip for them.

Unfortunately, he will go wherever he can at this stage. I genuinely believes he just doesn't understand politics, beliefs etc. He's so stupid which makes him dangerous IMO

He is dangerous. People will manipulate him, if it isn't happening already.

EmpressSisi · 22/05/2026 19:03

Aww I just saw the clips of William praising Catherine on Heart Radio.

Do we expect Harry to be forced to do the same for Meghan?

PigglyWigglyOhYeah · 22/05/2026 19:04

'The face of the royal family'?! That's the monarch, you demented bint! Meghan's role was always no more than the equivalent of appearing on stage at the RSC as a spear carrier with no lines. An apt analogy, perhaps, given her lack of acting ability.

It’s worse than that! , he’s stupid with a huge ego and no idea just how ignorant he is! A very dangerous combination.

I will set my clock! 🤣 , we will however be inundated with cubes saying that William was copying Harry and this was because of the anniversary post! 🙄

In what universe was Meghan ever “the face of the royal family”? Maybe in Castle Greyskull or wherever She Ra resides, but not in the UK!

She says all sorts of shit in the hope it will stick …. Hubris springs to mind - she’s deranged!

Wooten’s sacking from GB involved the ByLine Times trying to fit him up for something criminal - I can’t remember what now, but it came to nothing - police said no evidence and the Guardian (who repeated the claims) had to pay him out for libelous content.

Harry is very involved with Byline because it’s run by Graham Johnson, the former jailed tabloid hacker turned dragon slayer, who is currently infamous for what has come out about him and Byline Times in the ANL hacking case.

Harry called Wooten a sad little man in Spare, as Wooten had got wind of H&M leaving the RF and broke the news before they could, and also coined the term “Megxit”. When Wooten left GB News, they went from being scathing about the Sussexes to fawning coverage and a seeming hotline to “sources” within Montecito.

Coincidence? 🤷‍♀️

IdaGlossop · 22/05/2026 19:17

jeffgoldblum · 22/05/2026 18:05

Too true!

Harry is playing a dangerous game in trying to reconcile with his father. Meghan has succeeded in separating him from his family. She won't want him undoing all her good work to put him completely under her control. I imagine living with Meghan if you cross her would be very difficult indeed. Her jaw would be so tense it would snap and shatter all those costly veneers.

StormGazing · 22/05/2026 19:19

MrsLeonFarrell · 22/05/2026 17:20

I see no signs whatsoever that Charles will let Harry come back to half in half out. He was clear that as far as he is concerned their life is abroad. If there any chance of a change to that I think there would have been a passing reference in the US. This is Sussex PR desperately trying to convince people that they are still royal adjacent with absolutely no evidence.

It would be a really bad move, both the country and William would be really against this, they’re not liked, and seen as public purse guzzling, fake, lazy grifters

If I remember correctly ( and I could be wrong!) weren’t they trying to smear him with sexual abuse charges?

It won't happen. The Andrew revelations are making the monarchy teeter. Harry's misdeeds are not of the same order but when they have to choose between monarchy and family, they always choose monarchy.

Probably! It will be a bag of shit as usual, comparing her to Diana, probably Grace Kelly, Hera, Juno, Venus …. 🫩
