On the other hand, a sibling of mine got a late diagnosis and uses it as an excuse for all their negative behaviour and to not function well in life.

It pisses me off as one of my kids also has a diagnosis and we teach ways to function despite your brain not working the way the world was built to expect. Yet here is my sibling pontificating about it being a reason to behave poorly. Whereas my child does really well working out ways to manage as we’ve always given space to do that.

Anyway, whether H is deserving of a diagnosis or not, he’s a total numpty.

I have a sibling who is frankly both a drama queen and a hypochondriac! Enabled by my mother because she’s the baby ( and the most like my mum ) , she has everything! , it’s very irritating, yet somehow she manages to get actual doctors to sign off in her delusions 🤷‍♀️

Sorry to be petty, but I think he failed some of those exams - so that he was only allowed to co-pilot…but happy to be corrected.

Show quote history

No..

See above...passed groundschool with a hiccup as I understand it

He eventually graduated Shawbury with wings (so a pilot by definition)......went to the Apache, first tour as pilot/gunner, second tour as pilot commander.

As a general point military or civil flying a co-pilot is a fully qualified, licenced pilot acting as second in command, it's not someone trained or examined to a lower standard than a captain.

From google . . .

Prince Harry passed his military pilot exams and completed the Army Air Corps flying course in April 2010.

While he did fail an initial written theory test in February 2009 during the early stages of his training, he received extra tuition, retook the assessment, and ultimately passed his final flight tests. He was awarded his flying wings by Prince Charles in May 2010 and later qualified as an Apache helicopter commander in July 2013

I’m going with and, not or.

The thing is we can see the core symptoms and are aware that they have been present since childhood. We don’t though, know enough about the extent to which trauma and substance abuse, and other mental illnesses contribute to his presentation, and aren’t in a position to make a diagnosis. We can however, hold opinions on his behaviour. Which is appalling and has been throughout his adult life.

Show quote history

We can certainly hold opinions. I know I do.

I don't think anybody here is in a position to make a diagnosis because

I can't imagine many people here have the appropriate qualifications
it is vanishingly unlikely that anybody has met and conducted appropriate consultations with Harry and no ethical practitioner would fling diagnostic terms around without doing so.

Show quote history

I agree but I think once he’s more used to his dx he’ll settle into it and move on a bit from his foot in mouth syndrome. The woman he’s married to has been very good for him and I think she’ll be just the person to say to him no, that wasn’t acceptable.

I think he’s a fabulous artist and I’ve not finished going to see him yet. I’m 68.

Sorry to hark(le) back to the video, but who is it 'jumping' in the puddle?
It's the most pathetic jump in a puddle ever recorded, surely it's not one of the children?

billysboy · 14/09/2026 12:18

as someone with a late dx of AuDHD it explained so much of my behavior but does not in any way allow be to be a rude twat or any other foul behavior

Harry is sure to play the MH card at some point , my gut feel is that Megan will stick it out until Charlie goes and then slope back off for the divorce etc

I am not so sure that M will wait until KC dies as even she must know that the minute W is in charge , she is out . No title , very little money .
There is no way BP did not do due diligence on M and will have a dossier of information about her and let’s not forget the bullying report .
If we believe X stuff , there is a book being written that M is desperate to stop.

Interesting couple of weeks for 'notoriously private' Ian Wace.

Can be read a couple of ways

He has shouted and supported the couple and they are throwing it in his face by publicising where they are against what is probably a lot of advice not to.
He has agreed to them doing this to keep them happy for whatever purpose a billionaire might want the son of the King in his pocket.

I don't think she'll wait either. KC could have 10 years plus left. At that stage, Meg is mid 50s. She needs to bag a billionaire soon. Musk is single isn't he ?

Legally unenforceable, but used as a guide for future negotiations. They were for the benefit of the person marrying into the family as well as the family itself. The idea is (and was back then) to reduce any future conflict.

It would be interesting to know your source.

Any report I can find (newspaper or magazine) says that the royals do not use prenup agreements, and most specifically cite Charles and Diana as not having one.

Story (as I've heard it) is he struggled with some of the groundschool phase and had to retake some items (which he then passed).

In his defence he's not the first student to have struggled at that stage, won't be the last...

Supposedly his airwork was OK...

His airwork or his artwork? Because he had help with his A Level Art as well.

I imagine it's a tough choice for M when to ditch H.

Before KC dies as he will back H in a divorce, where W may not.
Though W may throw everything at M for what she has said/done, not for H benefit.

I think the royals will have far more resources than any firm M could find, she will want it to be in the USA.
M can't afford to lose control of the Dc, they're her golden tickets, as long as they keep their titles.

I also imagine that everything H has said or done in front of M has been recorded, documented ready to be used against him.
