Like when Archie asked him what he did (obviously as bewildered as rest of us) he said "he helps people "

Yes, I thought that was odd. However, he probably can't differentiate because Britain/England. What an embarrassment. At least he dropped the humanitarian/ mental health advocate

Prince of England? Absolute muppet.

It is so basic. He is unbelievably stupid.

@Gotback I agree with you about the ‘Lil Diana’ nickname hopes. Can imagine HAM rolling ‘Princess Lil Diana’ or ‘Lil Princess Diana’ around their tongues.

I think it’s funny that Wilko has a ‘Lilibet’ range including grey wallpaper. Thanks whoever linked to that. Sorry about the trademark blocking, HAM Grin You’ve been beaten by Wilko at The Range, oh dear.

You can see the live traffic data in action as stories slip down the MailOnline pages. Harry doesn’t seem to have much sticking power, which I suppose suggests he generates less traffic than some of the others, especially if the story is positive.

So the main royal story at the moment is the Waleses at Wimbledon. Then comes one about C’s Wimbledon outfits, and one about Samuel Chatto (30th in LoS) getting engaged. Then comes the first one that mentions Harry, but it’s not particularly positive, just the inside take on how the Highgrove trip was handled, sneaking them in etc.

Then before the next H+M mention we have Beatrice and her DH wanting to keep ties with William, then where do socialites go on hols, then William leading the celebrations after the Norway win.

Then at last Meghan pops up, but alas not in a good way, the article is about how she is just as bad as Blake Lively. It’s next to one about the recent victory for free speech, which has a photo of Harry looking glum. The first positive story, which has the video of him humping Alison H, comes after one about how Harry could learn a thing or two from Edward’s approach to things, and one about the Duke of Rutland’s daughter having her suitcase stolen on a train. It does look like he is less interesting to Mail readers than the Duke of Rutland’s daughter’s suitcase, which is not a particularly good return for a supposedly triumphant few days. Stories about Harry do tend to slither down the page pretty rapidly I think.

Harry is less interesting than the Duke of Rutland’s daughter’s suitcase! 🧳 😂

Theres a meme in there somewhere if I was clever at that sort of thing which I’m not. It’s an image to remember. 😂

Technically either Harry or Meghan would be royal sources. Just sayin'

Yes, that was my point.

Interestingly, no

Uh oh

AnAutumnCrow · 13/07/2026 20:42

Full-time dad, but not husband?

Okay …

Okay …

Yes, but let's be fair, he's a full time Prince of England
😂😂😂

Starryfifty · 13/07/2026 20:45

He never mentioned chief impact officer 🙄 at Better Up ?? Has he been fired ?

DaisyDooley · 13/07/2026 20:45

Ok-here we go.
Earlier post from @Puzzledandpissedoff showed the ‘lunar’earrings
They were not a specific 40th present but a gift to celebrate the moon landing in July 1969 -which also happened to be the month of Jaqueline’s 40th birthday.
Jaqueline didn’t like them -she thought they were rather ‘gauche’.
The 40ct diamond ring is said in the listing to be an ‘engagement ring’ -however, in all of my books about her it’s said to be her 40th birthday present. I can’t find a picture of her wearing it pre July 1969.
It was a very ‘Onassis’ thing to do to get her a 40ct diamond for her 40th.
Nearly all of the jewellry he bought for her was very much to his taste -it’s as if he didn’t know her at all. They were simply bought to show off his wealth on his wife - he said he married her because the most famous woman in the world wasn’t availaible. He meant Queen Elizabeth ll.
Caroline and JFKjr sold all of the jewellry Onassis bought for her. Every bit.
Although she was Jaqueline Onassis for longer than she was Kennedy the Onassis name is not on her tombstone.
Im terribly sorry if anybody considers this post to be a de rail. I promise it’s not meant to be at all.

@DaisyDooley I loved reading about Jackie's jewellery. Thank you for posting.

KC will definitely fund HAM and hamlets and I definitely think he'll fund Ingruftus.

While I think Pa has been slipping his darling boy more than a few bucks on the side with a nod and a wink since the freedom flight I think even though it's obviously fine for the plebs to shore up a £26m bid to stage it he will baulk at subbing a stalling Ingriftus.

Where would the bills end?

Starryfifty · 13/07/2026 21:00

It's astonishing how stupid H is. Army veteran, Prince of E and full time dad was best he could come up with. He's an absolute embarrassment. He just never learns

Call Careers Information.
Have you got yourself an occupation?

CathyorClaire · 13/07/2026 21:14

And M will have her own copy tucked away JIC.

I think she has substantially more than Oprah stored in the JIC vault.

h my god!!!

They just can’t shut the fuck up, can they? So obviously from Sussex PR, if it had been from anywhere else it would have been behind a paywall.

But nope, juicy bit of PH gossip and it’s free!

But the real giveaway is this shit “Every journey of a thousand miles begins with one footstep,' the source added.”

Should bloody read, Sussex source added! No MiG would write that shit. Although I’m still smiling at the Versailles treaty comment! Typical MiGS!!

But it's all fluff and HAM's usual word salad verbiage. Next embarrassment is Dr Sophie case. Wonder will H stay at a royal residence? Will his "amazing wife " (his words) support him ?

FYI There is a Kennedy production coming from Netflix very similar idea to The Crown.

Can’t wait, I have it on good authority that it’s going to be amazing!!
