These solo appearances by Harry are increasing . While I'm not thinking divorce it does seem to indicate a separation of the two " business" wise. It seems there is only one person getting in the news right now albeit not always for the right reasons but that person is Harry. I don't think Meghan will like it.

On the Harry school thing. My source (educational link) at the time suggested he was not expected to go to Eton, but to Radley as much less academic. Eton had very strict entry requirements in terms of academic ability and knew he would be lost there. But, with Diana’s death, Eton relented so he could be with his brother and have the supportive housemaster who was so important to them both. He struggled academically at Eton, which was entirely expected. Which can’t have done much for his feeling of self worth, particularly given his 2nd son resentment.

He was in very small class sizes and had 1-2-1 tuition. He also had the opportunity for a huge array of sports activities and coaching. Far more than any state school pupil.

He was never an attractive man, though. It was hardly going to improve as he got older.

Yeah, true. Some men look better as they get older, but you have to look after yourself.

Yes, I pointed out my error upthread. Thanks

Sorry - I hadn't seen that when I responded!

Probably best they have separate "business" (very loose term) ventures

Puzzledandpissedoff · Yesterday 11:34

I think they were completely blinded by those initial offers from Netflix/Spotify and didn't even consider that these huge sums would not be offered forever

So were some of the more unthinking fans, @Lunde, ignoring that it might have been better to wait and see how things panned out

@mommaham I'm pretty sure the pair said a while ago that there was going to be be a separation of their causes and function, but as ever they can't stick to a narrative and I guess some of the joint appearances since might have confused matters - as does Meghan's inclination to stick her oar in only if it benefits her

Wasn't it last year when they issued a statement saying they were going to focus on their own paths in future - Haz would concentrate on 'service' and charity work and she would focus on her so-called businesses iirc. Maybe they're actually sticking to that for once, cos HAM appearing together just wasn't working 🤷

Hate to ask, assume you as in the dark as I am but what is "service" ? He didn't mention this on his vast resume on the latest podcast

Even Harry doesn’t know, as he reckons he’s being doing it since he was born.
His mere existence is a service to the nation.

Well, exactly! He claims he's been 'in service' since the day he was born which is clearly nonsense. I just interpret it as he wants back in with the RF again, because life outside is not what he thought it would be, and he needs all the lovely perks that come with being a working royal again!

bluegreygreen · Yesterday 12:05

KilkennyCats · Yesterday 10:56

More than they lost with him appearing quite safely in public after insisting he was a taliban target and the nation would be devastated should anything happen to him?

I mean from their perspective, @KilkennyCats.

What's happening with the Afghan movie ?

Service to his own bank account.

And the cookie movie?

AnAutumnCrow · Yesterday 12:14

I think he looks unwell too. He’s either got something wrong with him and is on medical treatment like steroids, or he’s on some substance(s) that are making him puff up in his face, affecting his cheek shape, jawline and eye area, and he appears flushed. His legs are thinner these days.

The beard and moustache just aren’t covering up the facial puffing any more. The whole shape of his face has changed.

In Spare he says he was using cannabis as a young teenager and cocaine from age 17. That’s potentially 25 years of substance abuse.

yes, another mystery

He looks older than his brother.

It is resolved - they just don't like the answer.

Yeah, all the ciggies and booze as well

He definitely has a heavy drinker's face. He looks at least 10 years older. My brother a cannabis user for almost 30 years and it's absolutely detrimental for mental and physical health

I saw recent pictures of William at a polo match, he looked good and obviously takes care of himself. I'm guessing what with his wife and dad both being ill.
Anyway, he looked very good

Tiddlywinks63 · Yesterday 12:27

Starryfifty · Yesterday 10:38

He looks like a heavy boozer. The blotchy skin is a dead giveaway.

And the bulbous nose.
He really is a scruffy, isn’t he? Always looks like he needs a good barber and someone to sort out his wardrobe.

But they all came, quietly and safe. What's the issue ??
