Is there any more to be said. I expect there probably is. So I started a new thread. Be interesting to see what their next move is. It's like a game of chess A we getting clarification. I want to know if they'll be doing walkabouts, hospital visits, and so on. Being greeted by dignitaries at home and overseas like they were on their visit to NY and Australia.

Ye just like people judge by what they read by posters on here and form an opinion of that poster based on what they write, the tone, language etc. So if someone forms an opinion of a poster that they must hate two people because they spend day after day posting about them and saying how angry it make them then that's also perfectly okay to post that comment. After all if they people don't want to be judged for what they say then...😉

I wasn’t speaking about posters though. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I only judge some people for their spelling and grammar…. 😉

@Baital yours had you to love them. Who did Harry have after his mum died?!

His father, brother, aunts, uncles, grandparents. Like many children who sadly lose a parent young.

A broken little boy following a coffin down The Mall.
A broken man who had lost girlfriends due to press pressure marrying a woman he loves.
A tired man trying to protect his wife from the horrors that happened to his mother.
A son of a philandering father; that father and his mistress sitting on the throne of the country who gets the staff to send his son letters, instead of acting like a father.

Did you mean to send that to Take a Break?

You are speaking about judging people though so does it matter who those people are? If you're putting something out in the public domainwhether its a press release or on a forum...

You can judge me and form your opinion of me based on my spelling and grammar. Life is too short to care too much what that might be since you are a stranger and have zero impact on my life. I wouldn't be upset or hurt by it.

Plus top level counselling on speed dial. No NHS waiting list.

He had the same as William had after his mum died.

Who said I was judging you?

It was a general observation.

Just like your post was 😇

Father, uncles, aunts, brother, cousins. But Like William, and every other kid who loses a parent young. It doesn’t give us life time licence to play the entitled victim and attack when he doesn’t get his way

and for info, I genuinely know someone who saw the father son relationship growing up and both boys were very close to their father. It was not like he’s played it off.

yes Harry has issues, not least he’s thick , entitled, and easily led. but there comes a time when you need to take personal responsibility for your own behaviour.

As an aside, I had a long career as a writer.

My posts here are full of typos and misspellings because Fat Fingers.

As a colleague in the same writer team as me put it - "I'm a writer, not a typist."

What's this about a Diana Gala dinner being cancelled. On 18th September. Something to do with Harry. (There's a surprise)

Reasons I have read, mostly from American sources. H asked to bring M & they said no and H flounced. W was asked if M could join H and W said no so H flounced. H had a freak-out about 'securidy' and refused to go so they cancelled.

Cancelling a black tie dinner at the OWO at such short notice is unusual so there must be a good reason. Whatever the precise reason, H is the common denominator. Another charity that's benefitting from H's Midas (or ginger) touch, but this one affects W too.

Is nothing these two do without drama? No wonder they lose so many staff.

I wouldn't worry, she'll fuck off back to California before you know it. Without him

This ^

All a construct IMO. Big stories and drama to tell then when he’s here with kids ( for security and intention ) and she’s not.

Oh. I had hoped that my comment along with the winky face would show it was meant in a jokey way. That is how I took the post that replied to me anyway….

A writer? How fascinating! What a lovely thing to do.

As a fat finger person, I sympathise. I also have an errant texting thumb which seems to have a mind of its own and I am a shocker at spelling with terrible grammar.

I like that phrase re writer/typist. My mind races sometimes and my thumb lags behind when on my mobile. Most of my edits or wonky posts are due to that.

No judgement here. Promise. I save my judgement for those rotten enough to deserve it. 😉

damnatiomemoriae · 11/09/2026 00:59

I doubt W said no re M attending the Diana Gala dinner.

I would love to know the reason for the flounce. I wonder if there were a set of demands that were refused?

Or as others have said, an attempt to create drama and headlines? Perhaps another effort to reinforce their victimhood.

OneLilacHedgehog · 11/09/2026 01:03

@IdaGlossop are you really saying the Sussex should not be able to do any charity work unless Charles agrees?

General comment-

I judge when someone is clearly capable, doesn’t take the time to bother ever and is keen to make others feel badly.

If one is going to lord over others in a self-righteous manner they look a little foolish posting illegible tripe.

Comicalblackcat · 11/09/2026 08:33

It was said by a family member before his mother died that “Harry was born angry”, how true that is.

Comicalblackcat · 11/09/2026 08:39

Just looked at the newspapers, WHY are they reporting on what Harry’s engagements are as if he were royal? They are private citizens and 90% plus want them as that. This is all putting pressure on the King which he doesn’t need.

I think Harry puts it out there, news services pick it up for the clicks.

I can’t answer for @IdaGlossop but I certainly don’t think that’s what is meant at all . Many of us do charity work( I am off shortly to do another shift at our local Foodbank and tomorrow I am helping in a charity shop) but rather that they can’t expect Royal treatment so no red carpet , bowing and - most importantly- no expenses .
In other words , turn up and do some good !

LaMarschallin · 11/09/2026 08:50

Well done, Mylovelygreendress 💐

Absolutely!
Hope you have a good shift.
