I do not understand why people think M's character deficits are due to being "American" versus just being an unkind person whose character was shaped by the worst of "Torontowood".

There's plenty of lovely Americans amongst all 350 million of us...please watch videos from England and Scotland fans experiences of us during the World Cup!

Agree - most of us wouldn't want Harry to be taken as a representative sample of being British!

I think there will be huge pressure to settle out of court.
I really hope SC doesn’t, and has her day in court and we all get to see the receipts but she will need deep pockets or a wealthy sponsor with eyes on the prize.
A lawyer Kinsey Schofield interviewed said he believed SC was being funded by a newspaper or similar but he was just speculating. I hope it’s true though.

I read h and the other knob are very eager to settle out of court

I'm sure they are! I don't think Harry's reputation as a philanthropist could recover, if it's as bad as is being implied.
If it is a newspaper funding Sophie, they must be rubbing their hands in glee.

I would say that there's probably a type of nasty character in line with every nationality.

Americans, for example, can be seen as typically very confident, loud, assertive, focused on image, and aspirational.

But those traits could come out very differently - I've met Americans with those traits who were lovely and Americans with those traits who were horrible - two sides of the same coin. And of course, lots of Americans who are none of those things.

I personally think that Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Jeremy Clarkson and Harry all have the same PR, blokey, man of the people, like to have a pint with him playbook.

It is utterly baffling how they haven’t been “cancelled” for want of a better word, I do partly blame the current state of journalism, years ago there was proper investigative journalism both in print and on television where public figures were held to account and exposed for their behaviour, now it seems many journalists are in bed with these types of people and just print sycophantic stories that they are fed, there are still a few who do expose people for what they are, Sarah Vine’s article is a good example, but where in the msm are the deep dives on Africa Parks? the questionable people they accept free houses from? the Sussex Squad connections (which DW) exposed and the msm ignored? The BBC are just as bad, remember the “establishment stitch up” claim from Harry after he lost his security case and the reporter didn’t remotely challenge him, just sat there like a nodding dog. I also blame these non disclosure agreements which basically seems to mean a celeb can treat you how they like and you can’t do anything about it, it must make the HAMS and their ilk feel incredibly powerful.

I think that this crowd's access to Carter-Fuck type letters is a key weapon in their armouries; and these days they can also go running tell-tale-tit to the police, due to hurty feelz now featuring on the #MatrixOfSad in the 'priority' quadrant.

It's one of the reasons why I'm fascinated by the Senetable development. I daresay that Sophie Chandauka is no shy and retiring violet, and she brings way more braincells to the party than HaM, and didn't back down in the face of their empty threats via proxies. I'm hoping it's a floodgates episode.

She's a lawyer too. She wouldn't take some bullshit case. She's HAM's worst nightmare

He's no more an example of being British than she is of being American, or at least not IME

What they both are is utterly inadequate, with no class (despiite the royal tag) and no idea at all how to behave. Neither do they appear to have had any decent guidance, so they just thrash around making fools of themselves and damaging anything some are foolish enough to give them

Irememberwhenitwasallfieldsroundhere · 12/08/2026 16:37

It will be interesting (and def keep us going for more threads!) to see:

What happens with the ANL costs (££££££££££££££££$$$$$$$$$$$$)
What happens with Sentebale / Sophie C legal action
What Sarah Vine writes next
Likewise that poor journo woman who took the pill (Charlotte? Snuggles?)
Whether anyone investigates what's going on at African Parks

They are never held accountable unfortunately. The CG and pill story barely made a ripple. African parks all forgotten about

They do appear to have a ring of protection around them, it will be interesting to see if it holds up once William is King, it all came tumbling down for an ex Prince once his Mother was no longer on the throne……..🤔

@TheNinkyNonkyIsATardisdo you think many people really see H as someone they would want to have a pint with? A lot of people definitely did a decade ago. I remember the day after his engagement, the blokey blokes on the Absolute radio morning show talking about what an amazing stag do they think he would have. I don’t people see him like that anymore.

I think you’re right @BigWillyLittleTodger. I do think the MIGs are protecting him still.

And Harry is panicking! As you say look what happened to Andrew when Charles because King!!

Yup I believe something similar will happen when Wills takes over.

But the stories are always out there. See Andrew MW - we were told about him staying with Epstein after he got out of jail, crashing through barriers with his car rather than drive around, and all sorts of boorish behaviour… but they remained inside pages stories, until they weren’t.

Yes we will have to bide our time until justice is served! I think what we will see with KW is nothing immediately too dramatic and headline grabbing but the arctic freeze will start at his Coronation when the HAMS aren’t invited, a signal to the world that Harry is out permanently, any stock value these two had left will hit the floor, they won’t recover from that, ever, they will be reduced to D list celebrities cut off socially and financially. William doesn’t really have to do very much to get them cast out at all! No royal invites ever again and no cash, they will be toast.

Do you think they won't get an invitation to the Coronation? They will definitely milk KC funeral. Kids out on walkabout too.

Stories about AMW were rife for years. He couldn't hide after the release of the Epstein files

I don’t think they will be invited to KW’s Coronation . Can you imagine Meghan’s demands ? Also, in the lead up to KC’s Coronation it was reported by several sources that Harry ‘s main concern was where he was sitting . Had he known it would be behind Anne’s hat I doubt he would have attended !

Agree - “Toast of Tinsel Town” - if they aren’t there already after upcoming Sentebale, ANL and the DM dust off and deploy their squirrelled away ammo - all done with their own words and actions from the horses mouth. KW wont have to even get his hands dirty and will
have very little to do as H&M will continue burying themselves with their own hands.

Do you buy a bunch from Tesco and then decant them into lots of tiny vases and (As Ever) Jam Jars and put them next to the pretzels you put in small bags?
