What more summer shenanigans await us from the Montecito duo?

So H was on Corden’s show saying he didn’t think he didn’t think England were in the right mindset for the tournament. Putting aside whether he is correct or not, since when has H been a football fan?? He’s clearly jealous of the attention his db has been getting over his passion for football. Or perhaps he thinks faking an interest in football is an easy way to get the approval of the British public.

He's probably heard someone say that. Some celebrities seem to feel like they have to comment on all major events, it keeps them in the headlines/on social media/ whatever.

What’s the point in H&Ms case tho - they generate massive PR - but are totally unable to translate that into a revenue stream for themselves - in fact they just devalue their own brand with their nonsense - whilst MSM / SM make the $$$$$ from H&M words and actions. The irony!

True. But a wiser head, especially one who perhaps wanted to benefit from royal adjacency, might have made more effort to praise the plucky team or some such and say they were unlucky.

But then Harry is not wise.

No. The desire to comment and to make headlines is far stronger. He's addicted to publicity.

He's Britain's joint third best Harry?!

Pompous tool.

Spot on. It's got to be only hardline royalists who support him now. I can't believe anyone else would give him credibility.

CathyorClaire · 20/07/2026 10:08

And the 'mindset' thing.

Is that a sweet nod to BetterUp which is another string to his bow that seems to have got a bit saggy.

Imagine having so much wealth and privilege yet just swanning around attending awards ceremonies and talking shit to oafs for attention. He is a complete waste of space. Sooner or later he's going to say something really really embarrassing and stupid. What a liability. .

Imagine calling someone a 'waste of space' while following everything they do. Then accusing them of wanting attention while you keep giving it to them by talking about this 'waste of space' every chance you get. 😆

No. It's a discussion thread. People will comment.
As you do.

PH on James Corden last night.
England team had 'the wrong mindset' when they played Argentina, apparently 🤷‍♀️

Compare this with the output by Prince William ! Harry is a twat .

Ferrycrossingmakingwaves9 · 20/07/2026 08:56

Oh fhs Harry is not wrong in this instance! England did well to get where they did in the tournament but they rarely start confidently, and once they get ahead they tend to crumble. If that is not a mindset issue, I don’t know what is! Many other commentators have said the same.

You are just grabbing at anything now to criticise Harry.

(Besides which, do you really expect anything reported in the DM now about H to be fair and objective given recent events?)

Oh god tons of people have so much to day. I'm not into football but even I thought they switch off at times. I thought that about France they really couldn't be bothered in the first half.

People must be getting desperate for anything to criticise since there has been a lack of content from Meghan..as one poster on here said 'disappointed there wasn't anything to ridicule'

Yup, pompous tool sums him up nicely.

mommaham · 20/07/2026 10:21

@LipglossAndLiesHarry continues to put himself out there. It is to be expected there will be comments. Such is celebrity life. Harry seeks publicity.

There is, however, plenty to criticise about Harry.
Do you think he's above criticism?

He already made many stupid/ embarrassing statements. Nothing seems to stop him !

Yes I think you’re right. Pompous twat.

MyDogClive · 20/07/2026 10:42

It’s not that Harry has commented, he can say and do whatever he likes.

The issue is that he is still trying to cosplay being royal. Yet the Royal family don’t criticise sports teams representing the UK, they praise their efforts.

By giving his view on the team mentality, he is cementing himself as a non-royal commentator. Now he can crack on with that - and good luck to him if that’s his chosen career - but he can’t then pretend he is still a working royal.

Mylovelygreendress · 20/07/2026 10:46

There’s a rumour going around X that Harry signed over the house to Meghan in case he had a huge legal bill .
Obviously i don’t know if that’s true and I also have no knowledge of the American legal system but I thought it was interesting given how Meghan has distanced herself from Harry and his woes.

How to say he can crack on with anything he likes while criticising him for doing so!

On this very thread, Harry is criticised for not attending the football and then criticised for commenting on it. He can’t win whatever he does.

As for the RF not criticising the sports representing the UK, Prince William went one further on a podcast. during the World Cup no less, and let it be known that his father, the King, hates football!

Agree, especially after the amazing performance against France.

Why not focus on the positives, the most recent achievement, rather than holding on to the past?

...oh wait

Don’t think H was criticised, it was more comments that he hadn’t attended given his liking for the limelight .

Absolutely this! Great post!

And this is the 24th PR disasters thread about Meghan and Harry which is pretty good going for a pair who are no longer relevant… .

I'm shocked I tell you! William said that about his own father! 😱
He'll be talking about todgers next.

MyDogClive · 20/07/2026 11:13

For those at the back.

Hating football isn’t criticism of the national team.

Harry has demonstrated, by his behaviour, that he truly, madly, deeply wants the status of being a member of the royal family. He fails to understand that he cannot be a commentator for hire and a member of the WRF. And yes, people can comment on his hypocrisy.
