Omg. Sorry PP can’t find your post to quote it, but the clip of PH at the event at New York. I genuinely felt sorry for him.

Everyone is almost ignoring him and the look of distain from some of the crowd is not hidden.

He looks nervous and bumbling about very very lost. Some in the crowd (media?) have cameras that they are holding down. No interest of a pic of him.

Absolutely humiliating.

Like I say felt sorry for him watching that clip but sadly he’ll come out with something else tomorrow and piss me off again. He just can’t STFU.

And can I say about the “he is good with veterans” comments. Tell that to the parents of the dead marines who’s memorial he couldn’t be assed turning up for or the thousands he’s (probably) spent on expenses for Ingriftus while the veterans had to pay for themselves, their family and their insurance.

Please Harry. Just STFU and just keep your head down.

Good point about the "good with veterans" thing

If the wellbeing of military veterans was really important to him, he wouldn't be taking advantage of his links with Invictus to wring as much money as possible in expenses from it. He would want to prioritise money going to wounded ex-servicemen over private jets and expensive hotels for him and Meghan. If he actually cared, that is.

Oof, SNLUK has just roasted Harry.

Who is this?

KittyKokum · 12/09/2026 22:33

She normally seems to be the one clutching on to him.

I recently saw a photo on one of the threads that showed a preoccupied looking H, sitting close beside M, his arms were crossed firmly over his chest.
M's fingers had snaked their way between his elbow and chest.

I also think that what started off as a possessive death grip has now become a wifely signal, or perhaps a security blanket type of thing for M?

Thank you ❤️ was this a recent gig ?

As an aside, Andrew Lownie has a wonderful speaking voice and is so very articulate, Kinsey is a dreadful interviewer.

Isn't she just?
I started watching a YouTube interview with Andrew Lownie last night, but I found Kinsey to be rather monopolising in her interview style, and almost annoying to listen to.

I reposted the link below. It’s just. It getting any better. A week ago I really thought Harry might be on the path to being allowed to take some gigs. He’s ruined any chance for himself. Again.

Someone mentioned a Kinsey YouTube episode where Andrew Lownie said he heard Charles Spencer has tired of them, during that episode Lownie also mentioned that when Charles gets tough with the Sussex’s his popularity increases, can you imagine how his popularity would soar if he just did a simple move of updating the RF website minus the non working Royals, or removing Harry and Beatrice as counsellors of state. He also mentioned the dodgy finances of Invictus, I think it’s only a matter of time before the MSM start poking around there too.

As an aside, Andrew Lownie has a wonderful speaking voice and is so very articulate, Kinsey is a dreadful interviewer.

Agree re the website, but Charles cannot remove Counsellors of State - they are defined in statute (the Regency Act 1937) as the husband/wife of the Sovereign and the next four in line of succession.
Anne and Edward were added for their lifetimes by the Counsellors of State Act 2022. During parliamentary discussions for that bill, it was made clear that non-working royals would never be called on to act.

I genuinely thought it was a reconciliation with the RF and perhaps a way back in down the line but that seems to have gone tits up

BasiliskStare · 12/09/2026 22:54

@bluegreygreen "I don't think there will be much she can reveal about the RF in general. I suspect they were all very guarded around her - and even more so after the snippet in the Toronto gossip column early on.
I suspect the person who will come off the worst in any book will be Harry."

I agree - after 6 years away and at arms length for much of that I reckon she can't say anything seriously detrimental to the WRF. Harry , not so much , she could probably embarrass him to the moon and back.
I can't remember what the Toronto snippet was . But the other thing I would say , if M were to do a tell all book , she's starting (after OW etc demonstrable half truth and worse ) she would be starting from a position of much less credibility. Anyway I'm speculating. With any luck we will be spared her ramblings for a long time if indeed forever.

Their selected photographers edit his photographs.

It's getting more obvious when there are videos of him at events.

@StarryfiftySorry I thought it was recent event as it was new X post. But can’t find where it originally came from. ChatGPT has been useless! Haha

'Heated': The secret phone call that shattered Charles and Harry's rekindled relationship

'Secret'? People are allowed to have private phone calls and not announce them to the media.

The King looks if he's put on a little weight in that photo. Hope that means he's enjoyed a nice relaxing time in Scotland. Pity the end of it had to be taken up with this nonsense.

Someone was filming him though.

Thedom · 12/09/2026 23:01

That’s funny, so basically one phone call, or two at the very most.

“Harry and Charles were in direct contact when they first arrived in the UK, but not anymore.

“Their phone calls had been on a weekly basis and were nothing more than a typical exchange of pleasantries about the kids, their schooling and various logistics around seeing them.

But since the Sussex statement, Charles is not engaging with Harry directly until ‘cooler heads prevail’

StartupRepair · 12/09/2026 23:01

In terms of what M would have to share, I imagine H may have told her about the early days of W and C's relationship when there were break ups and possibly other flings of William. Old old news but M would enjoy embarassing them by sharing them.
I think the family were wary of her from the beginning so she wouldn't know anything more current.

It’s going from bad to worse.
Since the moment they landed in the U.K. they’ve been a pain in the rear for the RF and the government. He’s clearly not going to change, six years on the tantrum is still showing no signs of abating.
They need to just go back to the states.

I feel sad for KC, his youngest son is an embarrassment.

I think if there had been anything detrimental, they would have used it at the time of Oprah, but there wasn't, hence the subtle insinuations about the race issue.
Now, if she wants to say anything it will be most likely invented, and people will ask why she didn't say it before if it's true.
I do suspect Harry could come off very badly if she does go down that route.

The Toronto thing was in LaineyGossip - possibly a blind, can't remember all the details, but very clear that it was her, complaining about Kate not going to the shop with her.
It was very early on in the relationship - and to have anything suddenly appearing anywhere will have put them on guard even if they weren't already by her behaviour.
