Like being announced to an empty room... absolute classic to that journalist. I actually suffered 2nd hand embarrassment for her.

Announced with her title! There was only the interviewer and the "house manager" there! 😂😂
She's comedy gold.

I’m really surprised that they haven’t looked at AMW and seen his titles revoked and thought harry attacking the judiciary, isn’t one step too far. I also think the tablet given to CG, is also step too far and if proven, could land Harry in deep water. Those titles can be revoked.

I am more surprised that KC and MIGS haven't looked at AMW and seen the glaring similarities between him and h!
Spare, not enough money to support his entitlement, hanging out with and being funded by dodgy people with agendas, selfish, spiteful, spoilt and married to equally grasping, grubbing women. Boring, borish, useless men.
AMW is the template ham are following, it's easy to see how it ends.

I suspect they did, and that was why they had the Sandringham agreement, and a definite 'No' to half-in half-out.

What we are seeing in public, they will have been managing in private for years.

Lol should we suggest h as a trade envoy😂😂😂 he could sell the jam as a side hustle

There seems to be a pattern of Harry saying that his exes broke up with him because they didn't want to be WRF / couldn't handle the media attention.

Yes, Harry, I'm sure that's why it was...

Edited

Quite possibly they were fed up with HIS obsession with the media...

It looks lovely - but I'm sure you weren't tempted to push fully dressed passers-by into it!

LOL No! Though I’ve been tempted to jump in myself. And thanks to the wonders of AI I have airbrushed out DH and a dear friend posing on the side of the pool in one of the pictures.

I love a bit of AI deletion - if Harry was my son I’d have deleted him from every single family picture by now!

Oh and btw, the presence of the two bored coppers proves that Harry is given police security as appropriate.

very good point @AnAutumnCrow

I saw a video which showed 2 coppers arriving and being directed how to control the non existent crowd . As H was being ushered out surrounded by security ( why?) he waved to the mainly media people giving g the thumbs up to Ship .

Have you got a link, I could do with a laugh and it is difficult searching at work

The Harry that Cressida married seems to be a great guy. His younger brother died from suicide and the family set up a charity to help men with mental illness. Recently Harry did a really gruelling challenge to raise funds for it. It's called James Place.

Cressida herself seems to be a lovely person, she has a podcast with her sister about motherhood/ family relationships. Her sister died recently and she talks a lot about grief and coping with loss.

I'd imagine that both of them have a very strong emotional IQ, her relationship with the other Harry must have been challenging in comparison.

It’s absolute bollocks, I expect. The revelations from Charlotte Griffiths indicate that Chelsy and Cressida always wanted out, were maybe never fully ‘in’, Harry was trying to string them along with a ‘let’s be good friends’ routine while trying for more, and eventually they managed to escape - and it was easier for them to just let him say whatever he needed to in order to save face.

Meghan came along and was prepared to marry him (and I mean, ‘prepared’) and so he snapped her up feeling lucky, vindicated, relieved, validated and, knowing him, probably avenged.

What was it he said of marrying M? ‘Look at me, look what I got, look what I found’.

Chelsy and Cressida are both educated, intelligent, attractive women who come from wealthy, well connected families. Serious money in Chelsy's case, and aristocratic lineage in Cressida's. It might have been a lark to date a prince for a while but I doubt either were in it for the long haul. Why marry an emotionally and intellectually stunted man child and put up with all the attendant intrusion and restrictions? Neither needed the money nor the connections. They had plenty of both from their own backgrounds. And mixing in the upper class circles they did, they would have known exactly what was expected of them as a royal wife, and wanted no part of it.

Now both have married and started families with posh, handsome, educated men with their own money. Massive upgrade for both women.

Yes, but that's only other people's titles.

Harry has gone solo to Birmingham Children's hospital - but he looks pretty rough

Spot on, @bluegreygreen, and just as it once suited them to be rid of Edward VIII, the same may now apply about Harry and his ghastly wife

If MM is refusing to step foot in the UK ever again, does that include KC3's inevitable funeral?

There's no knowing, @MouldyCandy, but it'll be a sad time for the family, William will be "it" by then, and given their behaviour around the Queen's funeral can you really see the RF making either of them particularly welcome?

Many take the view that William will cut them out completely, and rather than face that it may be better to stay at home, whining that they weren't even "allowed" to attend a thing like this

Recklessismymiddlename · 09/07/2026 12:08

I suspect the press, are going to be choosing less than flattering photos now, even if he’s smiling in some of them. You reap what you sow.

Biscuit tin of karma coming his way.

The photo on his wiki page isn’t flattering. No idea if that’s a recent edit? He’s in an Invictus shirt but he looks rough.

bluegreygreen · 09/07/2026 12:12

Someone should tell him that if he's going to roll his sleeves up in a hospital (for the 'bare below the elbows' standard) he should remove the bracelets.

Indeed! Although pictures of him looking miserable, rough and dishevelled aren't hard to come by.

I think it's a Sikh headdress.

He's got a walkie-talkie and a name badge. It's probably one of the BCH security men (I used to work there).
