Regarding the use of PJs I don't believe that actually pay for them, someone is funding them. The pictures of their PJ they came back in looked pretty substantive. Be interesting to see who actually paid for it.

It’s not a derailment for me scorchio , my ds is autistic and my dd is slightly on the spectrum but has become less “different “ as she’s grown, it’s why I don’t like people given a pass for bad behaviour! , i parented mine and taught them correct behaviour and what was and wasn’t acceptable . These diagnosis may explain certain things but it doesn’t excuse them.

Agree, @jeffgoldblum.

A family member has autism, and is also one of the most considerate people I know.

It's one reason I greatly dislike the tendency on MN to jump to 'on the spectrum' as an explanation for poor behaviour.

@TangledUpDown

Apart from all the reasons discussed on here as to their return to Blighty, I’m sure there’s a big element from Harry of “Don’t ignore me! I’m coming back to make sure you CAN’T ignore me - I’m just as important as William!”

Truly pathetic. It’s clear that he and Meghan are nothing without publicity and attention.

I thought shortly before MeAgain he was banging on about quietly retiring from the public eye to Africa to live and work on a game reserve as he hated any form of public attention and it’s where he’s the happiest?

Quite the 180!

Ah yeah me too 😆 I just don't think trivialising ADHD/Autism is helpful especially with his platform

Without having rtft (moves so fast!!) I want to Wade in here Hamlet style and offer my favourite conjunction here...

and

He can be auDHD and a whiney ejiit

Robbie Williams can be ND and still someone you'd run miles from

Lots of ND people do have overlapping traits aaaaaand yet, some of this mess, the Hams have made all by themselves.

One night wonder if being a royalunroyal might have brought him world class support 🤔

My point was that I don't believe he ever said it.

Maybe not but you get the feeling KC has been far too soft on him, we hear so often 'oh it's his son he won't want to break ties permanently'. Well why not. Sometimes you have to accept defeat and cut your losses. KC needs to reject any further suggestions to meet and just draw a line.

I also think it's possible that Harry is ND. He has poor impulse control, poor executive function, poor anger management, inability to stick at anything, inability to think things through and foresee the consequences of his actions, inability to read people, lacks empathy and unable to see things from someone else's POV.

Maybe. It doesn't excuse his behaviour. My adult son has ND and has never treated anyone like this, nor behaved in this way.

Me too blue! , I admit for the sake of not being argumentative, I keep silent but I do feel irritated when I see it! , I’m also fed up with bad behaviour from anyone over a certain age immediately being diagnosed as possible dementia!!
sometimes people are just assholes!!! 🤷‍♀️

I'm not saying it excuses his behaviour - but it could partially explain it.

He's also clearly spoilt, entitled and a complete jerk! The two things aren't mutually exclusive.

"Regarding the use of PJs!

I read this as "pyjamas" & I was thinking "Now what?" 😂😂😂

Thanks for the unintentional laugh 👏

They were using Victoria Jackson’s private jet ( and houses) but I read that she had distanced herself from HAM so maybe Ian Wace ?
Still surprised he wants associated with this shitshow.

Likely this is what is happening. Unless they are so angry and bitter, they are anti UK and anti royalist themselves but they were always going to be willing fools for easy money.

I'm sure RF intelligence all over it

Their words and actions are very much anti-British.

FancyBiscuitsLevel · Yesterday 10:58

Oh I’m glad I’m not the only one who read PJs as pyjamas not private jets!!

I admit to feeling slightly sorry for them. I know, I know. They’ve created this state of affairs themselves. But… they’ve been so spectacularly wrong for just about everything in terms of handling their relations and the press.

PH may well be not the brightest, and M continues to misjudge every situation with her need to be centre stage, but then and now, is he or they not paying for solid strategic advice??

It wouldn’t take a genius to say ‘come back, but keep a low profile, don’t post on insta, send conciliatory messages to your father and brother, don’t try to muscle in on RF events, prove yourself RF worthy by going about your lives as quietly as possible for at least two years’ etc etc. And ‘for gods sake, absolutely no talking to the press or even friends on anything to do with the RF.’

There, that’s solid advice for free. Granted they seem constitutionally incapable of taking such good advice.

Imagine needing to pay (substantially, probably) for a PR firm to dish out what’s pretty bloody obvious common sense advice and would be obvious to normal, rational people 🤦‍♀️

Moreover - imagine not taking that advice but paying someone else to advise you to take all the missteps they have…

Have a look at Travelyst, which is "led by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex". It's aims state . . .

Together, we’re working to provide travellers with clear, consistent and credible sustainability information, empowering them to make more informed choices

and, from the Travelyst website . . .

Founded in 2019, by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, and with his continued pro-bono support, we partner with leading travel and technology companies to unite the industry, share trusted sustainability data and empower travellers, businesses, and policymakers to make informed choices that benefit both the planet and the communities that live here

He doesn't practice what he preaches, and that's why he gets so much criticism.

It is my get-out-of-jail-free card now, and all the weird s that I do I just say, ‘Sorry, I'm autistic’.*

My DS tried that once when he was seven…
