Thanks for the new thread. Afraid I've got a horrid cold and head is too thick to think of a new name.

Harry seems to be working to extend the remit of Invictus and park himself in Catherine's early years programmes. I'm appalled by this for a number of reasons. One thing seems clear, there has been a lot of planning going on behind the scenes, which suggests the move back here has been planned for some time.

"His appearances will include the first-ever Invictus Spirit Awards, which will celebrate individuals, organizations, and communities who “embody the resilience, service, and unconquered spirit at the heart of the international Invictus Movement”. At the launch of the INSPIRE programme, Harry will play pickleball with school pupils and participate in an assembly."

“Designed by teachers for learners from early years through to Key Stage 5, the programme uses the Invictus Games and the stories of its competitors to create national curriculum-aligned resources in maths, English, Stem, art, performing arts, sport and PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education.”

His appearances will be very very sparse in the future, i imagine. They are really becoming pariahs

PrivateCitizenUgandanAffairs · 11/09/2026 09:26

I've just c&p a long post from X attached to the initial one I posted above.
There may be an element of hysteria in it, we will have to wait and see how widely his programme is accepted and used in schools but I'm pretty shocked if he has somehow managed to get Invictus propaganda inserted into the national curriculum. Maybe that's where some of the missing millions (of £/$) went - into secret planning of school materials. One can only hope Meghan didn't get to contribute to the reading materials...

“Designed by teachers for learners from early years through to Key Stage 5, the programme uses the Invictus Games and the stories of its competitors to create national curriculum-aligned resources in maths, English, Stem, art, performing arts, sport and PSHE (personal, social, health and economic) education.” I may not be popular here but I absolutely DISAGREE. Kids do NOT need at such an early age or if ever to be brainwashed into DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI.. ABSOLUTELY NOT! F K off with that . Especially in stories that do not involve wars on our soil and which have only succeeded in destabilising the Middle East , INCREASING the terrorist threat and creating this NEVER ENDING FLOOD OF ABLE BODIED FIGHTING AGE INVADERS into Europe and the UK. Harry is thinking long term and needs more disabled veterans for his Invictus Games of 2046. The whole thing is being THREADED right through EVERY ASPECT of the school curriculum where it seems there will be no opt out option . I feel sorry for the veterans. I myself worked for years as an RN in Veterans Repatriation Hospitals , Harry was still in kiddie shorts when I started in my profession . BUT this .. the fact that parents are NOT GIVEN THE CHOICE OF OPTING OUT FROM IT .. sounds appalling to me .

And the EARLY YEARS ! How to hijack Princess Catherine’s interests and work . Children in the early years DON’T NEED TO BE CONFRONTED WITH STORIES OF AMPUTATIONS and dismemberment!

Has anyone informed themselves about this or has this been introduce by STEALTH in keeping with the Labor Government’s objective of supporting THE NEVER ENDING Ukraine war and preparing our children as future cannon fodder ? In how many other countries is this going on ? And Harry ? GFY you are NOT A PUBLIC FIGURE SO THERE IS NO PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. UNBELIEVABLE. This guy is being allowed to influence future adults and voters like this . PROPAGANDA, this is nothing more than war propaganda. Sure have a session once a month for some veteran to pop in and chat with the OLDER grades . BUT to thread it right through the younger grades curriculum? Including the early years ! Pass the vomitarium please . I can’t believe that British parents are tolerating this 💩💩💩. Attack me if you like over this but I really don’t care . I’ve seen first hand the result of these wars on young people and I don’t care for it . “

I wonder if their next move is "we want in"

That’s not actually on the table, is it? Why would KC want them in, doing even more damage than they manage from outside?

MissMoneyFairy · 11/09/2026 09:29

He just doesn't get it, he doesn't need to announce an upcoming event, he's not there in any official capacity, they want a quiet life but only when it suits, he just wants to jump on the bandwagon and he's making a fool of himself. Other "celebs"just turn up or support charities quietly and privately.

They don't want a quiet life, I think they want a life with no criticsm.

I do believe this was part of their plan tbh. Before PW became king but I think that idea now scuppered

I think they want a life of adoration and respect. Unfortunately, for them, these need to be earned and that's a lesson they haven't learned . . .

SaltyTea · 11/09/2026 09:35

It is troubling that H's charitable engagements are being headed official (in Hello) or public. This presumably is copied from a WhatsApp statement issued by their spokesman. Both events are private charity events. They are not open to the public and are part of his private charity work. The media really needs to be clearer on the language they use, especially given the clarity of the Lord Chamberlain's letter.

It's all about controlling the narrative, common in narcissists.

No indeed. The pair of them are far too greedy, entitled and arrogant.

Maybe these were printed before Letter? hello are very pro RF ? They should be careful

Meanwhile Meghan is hedging her bets.
Sorry no link - the screenshot was posted on X.
I assume it’s a genuine article from Hear and not a mock up.

What a ridiculous statement. Sums it up. What if her small children are happy and settled? Typical Narcissist response

I don’t think we need be concerned about this, the couple have spent 6 years showing the RF (and every man and his dog) why they are completely unsuitable for the job of working royals. They don’t possess any of the necessary skills or knowledge to be able to do it.

Turning their backs on being working royals was the one and only good idea the couple have ever really had. Only as it turns out, it’s a Sussex own goal.

The disastrous return actually works in RF favour. No invite to Catherine's carol service, Xmas walks and KC "standing by H's side" at Ingruftus all off the table now

Shamelessly reposting my comment on the last fast closing thread re. the Clinton gig.

Billy 'cigar' Clinton and Chrissy Teigen, eh?
Has Harold not heard you're known by the company you keep?

Chrissy Teigen 😳 well she knows what it's like to be a social media bully!

Why is he announcing his diary to anyone? Katie price, etc doesn't announce her outings to anyone

How can the paps (which I like totally hate, btw) take my photo if they don't know where I am? No photo = no newspaper coverage (which I also like totally hate) = no oxygen.

This...absolutely this. I will be surprised if they are still here at Christmas. Harry had no friends and no role in California and he has returned to the UK to the same situation. No friends and a family who have quite rightly written him off and arent speaking to him. There wont be the cosy invites for the carol service or for Christmas at Sandringham.

Very true. He needs the paps. So much for living in fear and being anxious about security!

The most important bits . Harry must be shitting himself.

Catching up.

Releasing a list of his engagements proves the King was right to send that letter to stakeholders.

Shoehorning Invictus into every area of a curriculum is a terrible idea. I would guess the resources were written by someone with more ideas than experience of actually teaching small children. Also why would any school choose to base their whole curriculum around a minor sporting event?

Finally this paragraph from Jan Moir sadly sums up the situation

"The letter prompted an immediate pushback from the status-conscious duke and his prickle of a duchess. For, instead of acting with diplomacy and tact, H&M sulk at everything that displeases them, like a bubble-gum pop duo forever enraged that they are not treated as serious artists."

Exactly this. And I strongly suspect that Harry’s desire for security is a more a desire to have someone somehow to protect him against negative media coverage than to protect him from actual bodily harm, as perverse as this sounds. I would
base this on the fact that the main issues around security he has raised are alleged paps following him to the airport and the infamous near catastrophic car chase, together with his fixation on legal action against news outlets and his desire
to control social media
