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

Or Travelyst? Also, he has staff and Nannies yet he calls himself a full time Dad. Archie is at school!

Two nannies apparently but remember, he's also a full time Prince of England and an army veteran so it's hard to juggle everything 🤔

MrsLeonFarrell · 13/07/2026 21:56

Prince of England is what he was born not a job. He does no royal duties. He really really hasn't grasped that has he? Likewise veteren isn't a job, it's a status. Assisted Her is confused as to what an occupation is, as opposite to something you used to do or a title you were given because of who you're father is, in a similar way his wife confused archetype and stereotype.

Basically what I take from that is that he doesn't work. He drifts around, occasionally moaning about something or visiting a charity.

CrocsNotDocs · 13/07/2026 21:59

He probably thought Prince of England made him seem better than William, a mere Prince of Wales.

POW was introduced with a slew of titles, Tongue in cheek, on the TK podcast. Maybe that's what H was trying to do and failed

StartupRepair · 13/07/2026 22:08

Sadly for many veterans, being a veteran is not a career.

KatherineParr · 13/07/2026 22:08

Maybe he wants to go back to the days when England was an absolute monarchy?

He's a Prince of the United Kingdom. No such thing as a 'Prince of England'.

We roll our eyes at posters here who talk about the 'King of England'. But for an actual Prince not to get it right is pathetic. He is really very dim.

Yes, he basically spends his days rattling around that big ugly house. And whatever he might say I don't believe either he or his wife are 'full time' in their parenting duties either. Neither seems to have any real purpose in life.

HurrahforHollywood · 13/07/2026 22:14

Why do these interviewers never challenge him?!! It enrages me.. they just swallow his shit whole.

Mylovelygreendress · 13/07/2026 22:15

If there’s one thing guaranteed to raise my Blood Pressure it’s people talking about the King of England but to hear an actual member of the RF to incorrectly refer to himself as a Prince of England leaves me ( almost) speechless 😡

IcedPurple · 13/07/2026 22:15

Archie's birth cert lists his 'Occupation' as 'Prince of the United Kingdom', and Meghan's as 'Princess of the United Kingdom'. William and Kate are described similarly on their children's birth certs.

Maybe that's what he was thinking of!

As a PP said @IcedPurpleHe doesn’t have a clue of the difference between England and the UK.

I think it's obvious from which side of the family he got that complete lack of intellectual curiosity (I'm being kind).

Nope. I imagine they are very hands off parents. Probably just as well for all concerned

I am not listening to that podcast as I cannot listen to his voice. But reports are he's discussing his ginger pubs, and his morning routine is a "shit, shower and a shave" 🤢

Ginger pubs sounds fascinating

Pubes 😅

Starryfifty · 13/07/2026 22:36

Although I wish it was pubs !

Aw, don't take the vision of ginger pubs away from me! 🤣

Urgh he tries too hard to be one of the lads. Pathetic.

If you can cope with the ads, there’s this online - the Mirror calls it a ‘chaotic interview’.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/prince-harry-bullied-new-interview-37426152

Apparently he was ‘bullied at school’, he’s ‘not ginger’, and various other bits of nonsense he’s made up out of nowhere for some crackpot PR agenda.

Harry insists he's not ginger and calls himself 'Prince of England' in interview

Prince Harry has revealed that he was bullied at school by people who branded him 'carrot top' in a new interview, while also claiming he's not ginger

Much appreciate your effort AC but I think listening to it would send me over the edge 😳😳

So, what is he? Strawberry blonde ???

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.

Thank you aga8n

Gross.

I'm certainly not listening, and I try to avoid giving clicks, content to read synopses of articles on here or use archive links.

I enjoyed William's podcast and also his interview with Heart radio was lovely.
What a difference between two brothers.
