Dan Wootton obsessed with H &M

Why is Dan Wootton so obsessed and full of hatred for Harry & Meghan?

i recently listened to Spare on audible - purely because it was free and I was interested to see what he had to say. ( most of it was boring self indulgent crap imo)
predictably the algorithms have filled my YouTube with H &M stuff!

it seems there is a daily barrage of videos from DW about them, such vitriol from this man. It’s unhinged!
I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of theirs at all but Jesus he acts like they murdered his granny.
He’ll post a picture of one of them literally smiling and turn it into a massive conspiracy theory about smirking at the Queen on her deathbed or some utter nonsense

rant over!!!

“If you even just glanced at his channel”

Just not interested so never bothered before. But I did because you suggested it. Out of 20 current videos only 2 are about Sussexes. One was relating to cost of the ANL loss which seems timely.

Still not interested but I was expecting to see a channel that was solely dedicated to them.

I looked and saw a dozen in the last 6 days, he has a 'royal channel'

But if they annoy you so much why don’t you just ignore them? Simples.

DW is very easy to ignore, you have to actively seek out his channel on YouTube so why not offer the same advice to posters on here who started a thread about him and don’t like the content he produces? The HAMS are constantly in the news so of course people will discuss them, particularly if they have an interest in the monarchy.

They don’t annoy me but I do find the whole circus fascinating. Hence joining in on a discussion forum.

I’m not in the habit of letting others suggest what I think or what I should do with my thoughts.

Simples.

Well I guess I wouldn’t know. I’m not looking further no matter how much it’s suggested here so I’ll take your word for it.

I’ve done a google search and I can only find one channel which is ‘Dan Wootton Outspoken’ which seems to be a mix of Celebrity, Politics and Royals. Pretty much covering what he used to cover when he was working in print media 🤷‍♀️

Edited

Yes I’ve had a look and it’s quite a mix, certainly not a dedicated “royal channel” not sure why he creates so much ire when there are actual channels which are fully royal, here are the first three on his channel just now.

I haven't watched one of his rants. However, I can see how many he does, all with unpleasant headlines. And yes, it is 12 in the last 6 days all on harry and meghan
Today is the first time I have looked because I find him reprehensible.

He has a 'royal channel'. It is headed 'royal channel', do you doubt what I'm saying?

I haven’t investigated DW like you, frankly because I’m not bothered what he does, he can have ten royal channels for all I care 🤷🏻‍♀️

simpsonthecat · 27/07/2026 17:47

I am not 'investigating' him. Posters are saying he hasn't posted much about them, I would prefer to be telling the truth when I say he has posted 12 videos in the last 6 days, which is why I double checked. It took me 30 seconds.

Why are people even looking? , I’m not interested, is this some kind of advertising thing to raise awareness of his channel?

I still don’t care even if he posted a hundred videos on them 🤷🏻‍♀️ he can fill his boots.

We are on a thread entitled 'dan wootton is obsessed with H&M'. It's hardly a weird thing to do given the thread title surely

Yes. He is obsessed.

Dan will be delighted! All the hits on his channel, kerching! 😂

simpsonthecat · 27/07/2026 17:53

Why? I haven't linked them.

When a poster says he has only posted once about H&M I wanted to clarify that was actually not the case.

I wouldn’t normally bother but I’m wondering if Google might be hiding things from me 😂. I’m not seeing any DW royal channel.

I said two videos out of the last 20 videos. Not once!! 🤯

BigWillyLittleTodger · 27/07/2026 18:00

Seeing as AI is so popular I asked it if DW has a dedicated royal channel on YouTube

No, Dan Wootton does not have a dedicated YouTube channel exclusively for royal news.
Instead, all of his royal commentary, updates, and interviews are broadcast on his main independent channel

Content Distribution

  • Main Hub: All British royal family commentary, news updates, and opinion pieces are mixed in with his broader coverage of politics, culture wars, and media stories.
  • Frequent Coverage: While royal updates represent a major portion of his content strategy—frequently featuring discussions regarding Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and King Charles—they remain part of the primary channel feed rather than a standalone spin-off brand.
  • Collaborations: To deliver specific royal updates, he regularly partners on-air with established independent royal channels

Here is a screenshot. As you can see, on the right is an arrow and if that is pressed it shows the rest of them
Actually 14 in 6 days,I counted wrong

In the spirit of this thread and hopefully not derailing, I see your emoji and raise you a gif.

Please take my emoji in the spirit it was intended. 😁. Seeing as how you know what I think, I can’t see it being troubling. Or is it? 😁

I do think the gif is obvious though. It needs no explanation.

And again, I didn’t say he hasn’t posted much. I pointed out that he’s posted loads of videos and of the recent ones I saw only two about Harry. None about Meghan actually.

The point is that he makes and posts many, many videos that are not about them. They don’t seem to be his main topic.

Are you actually rolling your eyes because I’m correcting what you claimed I wrote when what you said was not at all true?

You’re acting like I said he only ever posted about them twice. That’s a lie.
