My neighbour did a tandem parachute jump for her 75th birthday (she did wing-walking for her 70th).
I don't think she could have done the Three Peaks Challenge though.
(Presumably, Hazza-the-old-soldier will jump alone, not just in tandem?)

I doubt he would be doing it solo

I’m sorry. But the truth is out there.

One of Harry’s neighbour calls him a ‘jerk’, and it was the bodyguards doing the school run.

My son in law has dual citizenship and holds a USA passport plus one other, so it is possible to retain your American citizenship. I don’t think the authorities like it though.

I don’t think it’s a problem. My SiL is British born and became an American citizen relatively recently after living there for many years. She has dual nationality

On reflection, I'm sure that's right.
Perhaps my neighbour should drop him an encouraging note, suggesting the wing-walking next.

Not in person generally. When he’s whining about his life or waxing poetic in spare, yes.

But I think in person without the cameras and without the wife he’d be like the old jolly Harry.

also minus the substances.

What, like the time he whacked Taylor Hawkins hard across the face?

Make sure the note is written with "warmth and kindness"

Seen on X so take with a pinch of salt

Barrel of salt more like! There's no way she'd risk the flak of returning to the US just days after her children start school in a new country. Even she's not that dumb!

Morning Hampers

What I am wondering is, the swift conclusion to the Cali era- do we think if they haven't given appropriate notice for the school- is it possible they may not have paid up all the usual fees if terms started x2?

A sharpish scooch back to the Bank of Dad for a term time top up on the quiet?

Duel nationally is allowed by the US. I know lots of dual US/UK nationals.

Ah ok. I wasn’t sure. So it was from this end they had to chose.

Emphasis on the "no-de-no!"

Has anyone seen the insta reel of Prince William leaving an engagement and the young men shouting I love you bro. He then winds the window down and shakes hands. He looked absolutely genuine and delighted by the interaction. It was joyful. Even one of the security guys was laughing. I’d like to post it but I don’t know how.

Notmybestusername · 12/09/2026 08:33

🤔 Mumsnet HQ didn't like my posh rock salt post. Taking that with a pinch of low sodium alternative

That's so nice 🙂.
Kudos to him for getting involved with Suicide Prevention. It's a fantastic cause.

I know this thread is about PR disasters but I've been trying you think of anything the Sussexes have done well. I can't think of much since their marriage which has worked well in PR terms. Maybe the Grenfell cookbook and Smartworks?

When Meghan was writing on bananas?

Then the bananas had to be thrown away because they couldn't be eaten?

Am not a PR person, but if I was, I would genuinely be advising Harry to apply for this job - it is local, its hands-on and it marries up with his interests. Take himself out of the 'royal picture' and roll his sleeves up..

https://alabare.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Veteran-Support-Officer-JD.pdf

Its just above minimum wage - have no idea about his finances, but again, I'd probably advise him to take the wage and invest it into Invictus. Accepting the wage (in my head) binds the contractual relationship - so he is embedded in the charity- not doing a 'when I can be bothered/when I need a front page mindset.

If he said, I'm passionate about the practicalities of veteran support and I want to learn from the ground up so that my Invictus work has an additional UK strand - and if he did the proper hard yards of small charity work where they are often in precarious situations - not getting money from the lottery, dipping into reserves(not the global foundations) understanding the importance of place, and trying to fight for the voice of veterans, to ensure policies understand and acknowledge the challenges veterans face. If he did that for 3-5 years, he could rehabilitate himself and image and could well find himself in a royal adjacent role that is constructive rather than destructive

I'm passionate about the practicalities of veteran support and I want to learn from the ground up.

I honestly don't think h is passionate or even interested in veterans wounded or otherwise.
Only in what they can do for him.

Personally I think it is an absolutely brilliant idea but as pp said he is too lazy. It's so sad that he has shown himself to be so grasping and selfish. He really was cast in AMW's image.

She used to like communicating with bananas.
I remember the two "spooning" bananas photo, just in case there was any doubt she was sleeping with Harry.

Thanks twerking I managed to find it and watched it about 10 times! It is indeed lovely. The young lad shouting “Our next King”, the laughing security guard and PW’s obvious delight.

Absolutely lovely!! And I’m def no Royalist!!
