The fact that they destroy all future friendship opportunities for their young children tells us all we need to know about HAM. They don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. The fact that they are now spinning seeking an apology from William and C puts the final nail in the coffin for a relationship between the Wales and Sussex children and indeed any royal kids.

They won't foster friendships with "nobodies" or anyone they can't benefit from. Friendships with high profile people is also out as they will not trust HAM.

I feel desperately sorry for the Hamlets

Malcolm Tucker would not bother his arse with a ‘minge-mop’.

lippylippy · 30/08/2026 15:47

If I were W&C there is absolutely no way HAM or the HAMLETS would be anywhere near my kids. H will undoubtedly be jealous of the increased public role of the Wales children and how settled they seem. He called their mother a racist FFS, H would not get within 10 feet before he found his arse back in the dog bowl.

I’ve had stuff shared with me about a particular death threat, and it was very controlled (inside a police station) and specific. ‘This is an up to date photograph of what this man looks like. If you see him you must call 999 immediately.’

They were incredibly careful about not over-sharing or over-providing. They fitted a lot of security to my home, which I still have.

Harry seems to want the equivalent of access to the police database. And guns.

God Almighty. That had to be terrifying.

twatwrangler · 30/08/2026 15:50

What on earth can Harry offer him that he doesn’t already have?

(Meghan has nothing he can’t buy on the open market.).

Mutual silence?

Hostamenace689 · 30/08/2026 14:49

Indifference is setting in?

Really?

Did you see the headlines last week?

And this is the 32nd thread of this series!

I agree with Rachel Johnson that whatever you think of H&M they are definitely winning the publicity war against the RF, even if the publicity is bad. Everyone is broadcasting about them!

And it’s the people spreading the negativity about them who are keeping them in the news the most!

The delicious irony being that the media outlets the hams loathe are making money off them, running any old rubbish gets clicks and revenue. The DM in particular must be laughing their arses off. The hams get no revenue from the ridicule and nonsense. Being a front page laughing stock is nothing to be proud of. Their children will soon be old enough to read this stuff and I expect kids will repeat what the parents say at school...poor little buggers.

Andrew is a stain that will last down the generations, he can’t risk another in Harry.

and it will be this, ultimately, if the Sussexes carry on in the same vein, that I think will cost them their titles. No titles. No need for security. They will lose their platform as well. Possibly even their position in the line of succession, if he is deemed to bring the monarchy into disrepute, the way he is carrying on.

Labour won’t do anything but if the Tories get back into power they may.

Oh god I’d love Malcolm Tucker to meet Prince Harry in 2026. That is actually exactly what H should do for charity and be really bloody self-deprecating about it.

But he won’t. Because he is incapable of taking of taking the piss out of himself. He would have to brittly mention being a duke ha ha no really I’m a duke ha ha and a prince. Know your place, Capaldi.

Can you imagine the names Malcolm would call him!

I can’t believe she didn’t reach out to him when he had his leg amputated. She must be a very cold person.

And his “crime” was that he was persuaded into some rather clunky photos of him supposedly preparing to attend her wedding.

Being measured for a suit, reading a book on the royal family.

It’s hardly child abuse is it?

Not to mention hardly a million miles from M’s own manipulation of the media at the time with faux candid shots.

Her father spent years caring for her when her mother was off nobody knows where, spent lots of money on her education and greatly helped her fledgling career but all of that apparently counts for nothing.

The truth was she saw him as an embarrassment and a risk given he knew the truth between many of her mixed up stories of her youth and the photos were an absolute gift to her in order to justify casting him off.

Her mother, on the other hand, as A Black Woman was essential to her narrative and a useful accessory.

No cutting her off for years of abandonment.

Though I have no doubt she will be (and maybe already has been) dropped when it is expedient.

H is another stain. Eventually there will be no choice but to strip him. It will be in William's reign though

Recklessismymiddlename · 30/08/2026 16:05

I’ve read the comments on that blind @Mylovelygreendress and still don’t get what they are trying to say!

i don’t often read them though so not sure how accurate they are and there is another about Mette-Marit.

BemusedAmerican · 30/08/2026 16:07

I've said this before. Different states in the US have different gun laws. I have a relative who lives in a state that allows concealed carry. He always carries a gun. He has body armor in the trunk of his car. He's an ordinary person and not under any known threat. Everything he does is legal in that state.

There are many states that Harry can move to where he can carry a gun. The whole family ( once the kids aren't minors) can carry guns. The kids can probably enroll in a rifle club and learn how to shoot.

Harry is ex- military. He can take ownership of his own security. He might feel like he has more control if he does so rather than rely on security that freaks out in NYC midtown traffic.

I think this is what'll happen too. The real unknown factor is how long Harry has as a period of relative indulgence under Charles where he could, though probably won't, redeem himself. Of course it's unseemly to speculate and if Charles has the sense I credit him with, he will keep any guidance he's received from his medical team very much to himself.

Starryfifty · 30/08/2026 16:17

Does H not realise if he is stripped, Meg is gone for dust ??? H knows William better than most. He's known to be more like Queen E. Very unsentimental. Monarchy first, etc. Does he not realise that his ailing father could die next week as he has cancer?

I think such states are more dangerous for them as so many people are are armed and therefore could be a threat. Tensions are higher too. I think they are safer in the UK due to the lack of guns. Look at something like the CK shooting, yes it's very unlikely to happen to H but having armed guards around didn't help.

Basu actually sat on RAVEC so I think he is more qualified to comment than any of us posters on these threads.

But Basu doesn't sit on RAVEC any more, so while he may know how it worked , and his views on that may be interesting his info on current threats will be out of date.

Basu sat on RAVEC in 2017/2018, so had a good view of the threat profile for both HaM over the relationship and the wedding. I was working on a project at SO15 (Met counterterrorism command) at the time, and the word from the officers I worked with was that it was pretty jawdropping, especially re M. Don't forget around the same time there were a lot of far right groups, mainly focusing on Brexit, but with a hefty side order of racism.

So basically his information is almost a decade out of date?

He seems to want to control his security. Self-arming is one way to do it. It will let him feel more in control.

Here is NYC, people seem to be killing other people with knives, knocking them onto the sidewalk or down subway steps, setting them on fire. No guns needed.

I think Harry is an out & out snob & it doesn't surprise me that he wants his children to go to private school in England.

The same as William's do...

I'm hoping school is a stabilising environment for them.

Also interesting, read in tandem with @Mylovelygreendress’s blind and my not-so-innocent question re what’s in it for Ian Wace, is Wace’s connection to Paul Marshall, original and ongoing bankroller of GB News also with ties to Restore/ Farage. See also who Paul Marshall’s son is, and whose band he was kicked out of allegedly for radically differing political views - Mumford & Son, lead singer of which is Marcus Mumford, who is married to Carey Mulligan, who played the woman commonly accepted as playing Meghan in the second season of Netflix’s Beef (the promo party of which was the one where Mulligan and Meghan both showed up wearing a chartreuse coloured dress, Meghan apparently in contravention of the request she wear black like every other guest so only Carey - the lead actress - would stand out in publicity pics).

It’s this kind of incestuous cobweb of connections that Harry is just too thick to navigate by himself. He’s in hock to Wace/Marshall, who I’m pretty sure haven’t even decided what price they want to extract from him. They can’t get near William or Charles, Harry is the closest they can get.

It’s a grim business, even grimmer than it already was.
