Don’t normally agree with a lot of what Sarah Vine writes but this is good

Absolutely, this accusation is outrageous and Invictus need to distance themselves from Harry and his uneducated big mouth, he is such a petulant malcontent.

Harrry and Meghan are such a toxic duo, it’s surprising any country continues to support Ingriftus.

Unbelievable accusations. He has learned absolutely nothing from his comments about Judge Nickell

Does his birth cert say Prince? I thought title of Prince could not be removed? I need to investigate 😀

Yep it can be taken away

I thought they'd probably make unwise decisions but attacking the King in this way is a surprise. Harry seems to be more entitled by the day. He is burning bridges extremely quickly.

Sadly the X rumour about Harry approaching military organisations does provide a pretty solid reason for why the letter was sent out. Who else is he trying to rope in to give him the royal backdrop he craves?

PullTheBricksDown · 09/09/2026 22:09

If they're now going to blame Charles for the letter ruining Invictus, I guess they could show that by not expecting him to open the games, and also not accepting any of his money. I look forward to them making a statement about how principled they're going to be on this issue.

Thank you. Honestly, this is probably the way to go

Prince can be removed - KC3 removed HRH and Prince from AMW by Letters Patent.

Removal of Duke requires an act of parliament.

Starryfifty · 09/09/2026 22:12

I think Harry needs to be sectioned

ABitFab · 09/09/2026 22:13

Great article by Sarah Vine. 👏🏻

ABitFab · 09/09/2026 22:13

And let's take the titles away and the links from the web page

Especially if they wrote their address as:

c/o Windsor Castle

And as their emergency contact:

HRH The King (relationship: paternal grandfather)

Whereas we all know that the King isn't HRH.
He's HM.

Starryfifty · 09/09/2026 22:15

It's not just H blaming the king. It states Sussexes. How can they be so bloody stupid?

heatdome · 09/09/2026 22:16

Any specific questions from official and State organisations about the courtesies which should be extended to the Duke and Duchess, and particularly where recourse to public funds may be required, should be directed to Buckingham Palace.

I’m a bit late to this but this makes me think of those scam warnings. “Please check with Buckingham Palace if your charity is approached to host Harry & Meghan. Actual royalty will never ask you to pay for their trips on private jets or for 5* hotels. Be scam aware.”

Mylovelygreendress · 09/09/2026 22:02

Did you see Enty’s Blind #15 ??

Yes ! Thought a bit lengthy to screen shot here. Sounds about right and ties in with what we know about Rory McIlroy

Thedom · 09/09/2026 22:18

Gotta laugh at some of the polite descriptions of them

‘self-awareness of a cabbage’

‘personality of a potato’

Scuttlebug on Twitter (X) has itbtgat H wss ringing round his military connections, trying to get a regiment to appoint him to an honorary role (e.g. Captain of the Royal Marines) that would give him standing at military ceremonies. And that this had something to do with The Slapdown Letter.

Interesting that the Ugandan chap is raising similar concerns.

Can I just say, on a couple of threads ago, when he first came back, I said he’d do this! I think he is desperate to get back into uniform!!

On another note I think Ingriftus is a huge headache for the government. On the one hand they can’t get rid of it, well because you know, we might have some more wounded personnel within the next few years.

Also the last Games had 23 nations and 534 competitors, so there were loads of international military, diplomatic and government representatives attending. All good PR in these “difficult” times.

So the timing is all wrong to let it just quietly disappear.

And on the other hand you have the nightmare PH, swanning around thinking he is some rep of the RF. well until he was recently slapped down.

It’s a bloody PR nightmare. Especially if the expenses that H&M have previously spent at Ingriftus come to light.

Just need to buy in some more popcorn. Isn’t the 1 year to go event not soon?

justcallmemarywhitehouse · 09/09/2026 22:23

Two clap backs in less than 24 hours. If people didn't have a negative opinion of them before surely they must be rethinking 🤷‍♀️

Brilliant! That's basically what it's come to.

Yes @Starryfifty it can be removed.
The precedent was set by George V who had to remove the British Prince title from his cousin Charles who was the posthumous son of Prince Leopold , Duke of Albany. Poor Charles was forced by his family to go and live in Germany to run the Dukedom of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
He had a childhood plagued by illness and was very close to his sister Alice (Of Athlone, longest living grandchild o& Queen Victoria). He was sent to Germany at only 15 years old as it was believed he could be ‘re educated ‘ as a German as at that point he was terribly English.
He was a man of two countries -his German subjects & Aristocratic peers didn’t like how English he was, so he sided with Germany during WWI and lost his German titles dur8ng the German ‘revolution’ and he lost his British titles (held since birth) as a result of siding against his cousin and the British Empire.

So not just AMW. We have full, proper precedent set.

And if Harry carrys on pretending he’s a workimg royal, harassing the Home Secretary for security , sueing his fathers government , accusing judges of ‘whitewash’ during a high court case because he’s lost, then arguing with letters sent, that the Palace -not the King, the Palace - have been Forced to Send because of his actions , to every person who would need to be informed of Royal visits/protocol to inform them he is not a working royal no matter what he says then the King absolutely has to remove every title.

Harry is painting himself very very quickly into a corner. He is leaving the palace with no option. They will HAVE to shut him down for national security.
He cannot be swanning off to places like The Ukraine and being treated as if he is representing the King, The Government and the Country.
Private Individuals are not allowed to behave like this.
It’s really really becoming untenable.

Or MI6 kidnap him and take him to some deep underground bunker at Porton Down and we never see him again.
Either way. I really don’t mind.

We all have a past and I have certainly got a few things I would prefer to keep quiet but my goodness , if even half the allegations are true M has certainly had a “ busy” life.

Dontevenlookatme · 09/09/2026 20:08

Remind me, how much notice and opportunity to discuss terms was the Queen given of the Sussexes’ “collaboration” statement?

Amen.

Mylovelygreendress · 09/09/2026 22:42

Agree @DaisyDooley

TheRealHousewife · 09/09/2026 22:48

What really saddens me is how history is repeating itself. PH is intent on publicly sparring with his father and overshadowing his much awaited reign. ( Especially cruel considering King Charles is living with cancer.) Much like how he cast a heavy cloud over our beloved late Queen Elizabeth reign. He really is a disgrace. I also sense MM enables him and loads his gun. PH once said he was worried about his Grandmother and hoped she had good people around her. He should look closer to home. He doesn’t seem to have anyone around him who would have his best interests at heart plus he just doesn’t seem to learn.

I think we will see a very much slimmed down Monarchy when Prince William ascends the throne 👑
