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!!!

@LipglossAndLies that groups all the videos together of which all of then are about H&M no other royal members.

Wrong just a couple of examples.

14 videos in 6 days, that's all I know. I'm not going to watch them.
#obsession

14 out of 100 total?

BigWillyLittleTodger · 27/07/2026 17:52

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

Just what I was thinking!! After all we have all been told about “hate “ watching 🤷‍♀️

IAmATorturedPoet · 27/07/2026 17:55

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 can’t even be bothered to look! , no interest then , no interest now!! …dare I say ..seems a tad obsessive 🤷‍♀️

Seriously?

Clarkson’s odious rhetoric speaks for itself and he had to apologise formally for it.

Both Morgan and Wootten have form for being outright misogynists.

Wootten famously for laughing at disparaging sexual comments made by Laurence Fox about the journalist Ava Evans.

Morgan, prior to meeting MM, was criticised for aggressively defending a cricketer who made highly highly inappropriate, live on-air comments to Australian sports reporter Mel McLaughlin. He previously criticised actress Susan Sarandon about her cleavage and there are a litany of other incidents.

This was aside from their attacks on MM, who Morgan has been verbally antagonising non-stop since 2020 but to which, her credit, she has very wisely not said a single word in response and yet he continues… .

The words that both Morgan and Wootten use to attack Meghan are inherently gendered adjectives such as “shameless” and are highly critical and derogatory.

I am surprised that so many posters on here are sticking up for them. It shows what will be tolerated to defend an inherently misogynistic institution such as the Monarchy frankly!

Can I ask again when was the last time Piers Morgan commented publicly on Harry or Meghan? I haven’t seen anything recently, just wondering what I’ve missed.

I have already apologised for calling it a channel. It is a section. I am not a youtuber so I don't know the terminology. So maybe you could cut me some slack on that? I apologise to you too!

Every day’s a school day as they say, glad it’s all cleared up now.

He’s not particularly popular. His videos about Harry and Meghan get the most hits but not really that many.

If you are referring to me, it took 20-30 seconds to establish 14 videos in 6 days about harry and meghan by Dan Wootten on youtube. Yes he is obsessed.

Oh dear …didn’t you acuse me of thinking everything you posted was about me earlier?
perhaps you should follow your own advice! , I didn’t tag you or quote you afterall did I ?
perhaps a cup of tea ☕️

BemusedAmerican · 27/07/2026 18:47

Well, Harry is doing his best to criticize and undermine the First Amendment in my country.

I just ignore him and hope he gets his visa reviewed. He can move to his new home in Portugal.

adragoncalledaudrey · 27/07/2026 18:50

Just the tiniest of googles suggests one section got 130k views or thereabouts.

It is said that H&M’s interview with Oprah got around 60m views.

That interview changed many minds. They may have been flip flopping opinion wise ever since. Who knows?

But in terms of being obsessed? DW could well be. But he will never get the numbers that interview did and is unlikely to influence opinion in the way that interview did.

There would have to be something mind blowing and exclusive in one of his sections to get anywhere near that figure.

All that to say? No one is going to influence opinions on H&M in any meaningful way other than H&M themselves.

Everyone else is pretty much screaming into the wind.

My thoughts are with the difference in language depending on what the comments are about.
a YouTube fan channel posting many complimentary videos a day “ dedicated “ .
a YouTube channel posting many critical videos a day “obsessed “ .
I find it interesting to say the least 🤷‍♀️

Morning, everyone. We've had a fair few reports about this thread overnight and about the fact that the thread is being derailed. We feel there’s quite enough drama in the actual Royal Family without posters creating a rival court here.

By all means disagree robustly, but please could we do away with the personal digs, coded in-jokes jokes and group heckling. We ask posters to argue with the point, not the poster, and derailing threads in this way isn't fair and is also pretty irritating to anyone simply trying to read the thread.

We hope you understand. Thanks for everyone's cooperation.

Wait!! What now? “Coded-In jokes”?

What? Like the attached picture? Or “cancel the cheque” or “”pombears” or “a chicken can feed a family of five for 3 weeks” or even “screaming in the Sistine chapel”?

Those kind of in-jokes?

Everyone who regularly posts on mumsnet knows the pigeon idiom. It’s not just on Royal threads!

14 in 6 days. That is the point I am making and I will keep repeating

So he doesn’t have a Royal channel - his channel is Outspoken but he does organise them into playlists - so he has a Royal ‘playlist’ among other subjects.

I looked at his ‘all videos’ list and in the last 7 days he has posted 34 videos, 14 of them on the royals - all focused on Harry and Meghan.

So 41% of his content.

None of his videos look appealing - total rage baiting churn.

wordler · 27/07/2026 20:33

My assessment looking through his channel as a whole is that the Royal videos are the ones he’s getting the most traction with and making money with - so he needs to drop one every 3rd to 4th post to keep his numbers up.

I’d say it’s less his obsession rather that he’s playing to his indented audience’s obsession.

I suspect if a different topic was a better income generator he’d pivot in a second.

I just looked too, (never searched for a Dan Wooten channel before 😬), He has one channel, and then his videos are categorized into ‘Royals’, ‘Politics’ ‘Pop Culture” and so on. He also seems to do full episodes and then posts extracts from those called ‘shorts’.

I bet Dan will be very happy he was mentioned on MUmsnet, his engagement has probably doubled in the last few hours 😂😂😂.

IndefatigableSusan · 27/07/2026 20:46

I watched about 2 minutes of the video I linked then wandered off.

Justdancevance · 27/07/2026 21:28

I remember some H&M posters going after Dan Wootton before with the byline times claiming all kinds of criminal acts.

The police took no action, so another case where Bylines evidence wasn’t all they claimed to be.

I’m sure DW is delighted to get all the extra traffic and name checking on mumsnet.

With Liam posting about the UK trip, the ANL Court case and Sussex’z meeting the king, it’s hardly surprising that Dan has spoken about them

Because the part I enjoyed was Ali G and the rest I don’t care about.

A Scott Rouse video popped up about Oprah’s discussion of her interview with Harry and Meghan and that was fascinating though.

YourTruthorMine · 27/07/2026 21:40

Dan is a narcissist (similar to her) and she was instrumental in getting him fired, so he's out for revenge. Live by the sword, die by the sword. They are both as bad as each other

How did she get him fired? It’s kind of ironic if true. I wasn’t angry enough at the person who got me fired to make a YouTube channel. 😂

Yes if posters are interested there is a few in a series of byline times threads ! , just search and you will find them , very illuminating now we have more evidence.

unless some helpful person can link? I’m not the expert I’m afraid! 😳
