I know! Delectable, it’s so obviously hypocritical that it’s almost funny! , as funny as him accusing John travolta of dining out on on his mothers memory!!! 🙄

Unbelievable. Harry really is the hypocritical king, isn't he? Or should I say "Prince of England" 🤣🤣

I did say I was holding my nose when I posted about the Marler podcast. I’m increasingly frustrated with the slack that people cut H which allows him to think he can get away with stuff. I’m less interested in the podcast silliness and more concerned with how he throws his weight around when he doesn’t get his way.

The media fawning over Invictus Harry does not address the Harry who reduced Angela Kelly to tears or who demanded the name of whoever made the original decision about his security.

Alison Hammond’s behaviour was bizarre btw, I think she may need her HRT adjusting.

Alison Hammond is ALWAYS cringingly the main character in her own movie - she could give MM a run for her money I’m sure.

🤣 , I don’t know if he does it on purpose, does not remember what he says from one second to the next or is just so egotistical and boarish that he believes that he is above everyone else and can behave as he pleases and the little people don’t matter! 🤷‍♀️

Prince Harry What GIF

Harry doesn’t have the Sentable polo event anymore to pay for his pony rentals.

In the last Sentable accounts they spent nearly 500k on fundraising (ie polo event) which net of benefit in kind donations of 200k (which was probably a tax write off). So 700k in total

So entitled. I have no idea why any republicans would support him. He's surely the worst aspect of royalty!

Harry has publicly stated his intense dislike of paul Burrell! , is he hypocritical enough to swallow his pride if no one else is interested? 🤔

Beggars can’t be choosers plus there is little evidence of Harry sticking to his principles and previous pronouncements. Cue reminiscences of how Paul would play with them when they were children and sneak him an extra sausage. 😉

Also it is a bit odd, what is the guy doing to his body if it's crapping out at 40? I am more than halfway through my 50s and those parts still function, albeit in a bit less optimal fashion than before tmi alert.

Cocaine? MDMA? Lots of stimulant recreational drugs cause digestive issues, diarrhea and urgency !

Neither have I, but they do.

From AI.
Several recreational drugs can cause diarrhea, typically due to their stimulating effects on the digestive tract, changes in bowel transit time, or as a symptom of withdrawal.

There were media reports that Harry was seen leaving Althorp on Saturday morning on his way to his final engagement of the week.

Any suggestion that Meghan was around, bluegreygreen?
I only ask because of a dear friend's view that she was never here at all (I'd normally have scoffed except that she has an uncanny habit of calling things correctly)

In her opinion there's no way whatsoever that Meghan wouldn't have made herself seen, and the palace claimed they'd all gone for tea as a way of shutting down the speculation

It's a bit off the wall and who knows anyway, but I did find it interesting

Edited to add, and speaking of Meghan making herself seen, I'd never watched the full version of that polo presentation before, and it's just hilarious.
She really was absolutely determined to horn in on the action, grabbing the box, ducking under arms and seal clapping in an attempt to hide awkward shots

Pathetic Hmm

DaisyDooley · 14/07/2026 16:12

I wonder if he has stopped playing polo because he simply can’t afford it?

It’s certainly a sport rich people play - the cost of good polo ponies is quite unbelievable . A decent club level pony costs in excess of £25,000 and someone riding with a good handicap would be paying £100,000+ for A pony - and don’t forget you need a new one for each chukka.
A string of ponies needed to play a season -is easily in excess of £1,000,000.
Then there’s the costs associated with keeping them too.
My interest in Polo was sparked by-and I’m not ashamed to say this -by Jilly Cooper.
I don’t think William keeps any these days - he’s not as passionate about it as his father & grandfather were who had a 4 and 5 handicap respectively (which is very good). William is/was a 1-2, as was Harry.

On a tangent -would anybody be interested in a thread about Royal Jewellry?
I have pretty much every book on British RF jewels, the catalogue of the Duchess of Windsor (And Dame Elizabeth Taylor & Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) plus ones on the jewels of the Romanovs & Tiaras.
I could post pictures and answer any questions I can and post pictures on request if I have them. If there’s no interest it’s fine!

BemusedAmerican · 14/07/2026 16:20

Im nterested in a jewelry thread. I've been intrigued ever since I read about Queen Mary sort of forcibly collecting jewels.

You could go on the Royal Style thread, they discuss jewellery a lot, there are some very knowledgeable posters, and someone who always follows auctions.

"That comment now seems remarkably apt. Meghan has not attended the recent Invictus event, yet the criticism has simply shifted from questioning why she was there to questioning why she isn't, with claims that she is not supporting Harry. It rather demonstrates that, for some people, whichever choice she makes is likely to attract criticism."

There's a world of difference between being by your DP's side, listening to what they say, interacting with people and allowing them to be the focus, and supporting and promoting events, to being front and centre of all and everything, merching clothes, stealing your DP's limelight, and making every appearance about yourself. And only yourself.

I've just seen something online from Australian TV saying that Harry has asked Elton John to pay his court costs because he doesn't have any money! Apparently Elton is not amused.

bluegreygreen · 14/07/2026 16:34

I would follow a jewellery thread, though I'm not very knowledgeable. I do follow and enjoy the Royal Style thread, also the Court Jeweller.
