I recall reading that an official from Save the Children once said that Anne was probably one of the best informed people he's ever met in relation to SCF and heaven help anyone who doesn't know their job 100%!

When she was asked if she would take on SCF, when she was still very young, she said she would only do it if she could be properly involved. She wouldn't take it on just to be a figurehead or a name on the notepaper.

Why is KC aide getting involved?

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.

This is why I'm still puzzled about why Meghan has returned, as opposed to Harry. She's conceded the massive advantage of having the kids resident in California. I don't know how long they have to be away to count as no longer ordinarily resident there.

I don't think they will necessarily ever trust him again, but this will be the best way to manage him. They will find some spurious role for him, big it up and surround him with people to make sure he doesn't f*ck things up.
He will believe he is popular and relevant again.

They have him Ingriftus as some sort of purpose / job and he's making a complete cock of that

And this is what Harry should have done with Invictus. He never needed to do lots of work/different charities, just one charity done really well.

No they won't. He will have no role.

I disagree. One way or another he will be 'managed' as the alternative is that he will continue to ricochet around, causing havoc.
Perhaps the cousins Beatrice and Eugenie will be asked to find him something in Europe to keep him busy.

And there am I thinking that trying to sort DS and his new student house gas meter reading was a headache. You’ve got to feel for Chazza.

Uganda back in the Invictus Games following intervention by Sir Clive Alderton. Tacit support for Invictus and by extension H by KCIII. What would save Invictus would be Sir Clive Alderton suggesting they zsk H to stand down as patron.

Someone who is an active disruptor, someone who has told malicious lies and shared private things about his family for money, someone who has trashed the UK, the RF, the security services, the press, the judiciary.....is going to be found a role?
What now?

Very gracious considering H lashed out at LC blaming him. They'll be years of this bollix. Ingriftus need shot of H

Oh my GOD!!! 😂😂😂That's brilliant

(Obvs not for the herd before I get eaten!)

I must have watched it about 100 times when it first happened, so funny. Watching it again makes me nostalgic for pre AI days, as now nearly every time I see something funny I then find it's AI and feel so disappointed (I always undo any "likes" on principle). A genuine, unscripted, funny situation caught on camera like this is rarer than hen's teeth these days.

You can't manage someone like him. He wants his own way or nothing. Best thing for him is an AMW style of management. Well put you up in a bolt hole on the condition you keep your mouth shut. The alternative for H is total independence and he's just no capable

I strongly suspect William would be reluctant even to do that, to be fair. What an utter liability.

If Sir Clive is sharp, he could have persuaded Invictus to get shot of Harry, with KCIII's agreement, as a quid pro quo facilitating the readmittance of Urganda to the games.

I think KC is making a mistake . All he has done is show HAM that if they have a tantrum , he will sort it out .

Exactly! And then somewhere along the way there'll be a leaked suggestion that his former transgressions were partly as a result of 'mental health issues' therefore understood, if not forgiven...

Well at least AMW has ( so far) kept quiet but I really can’t see H doing that .

Let him. Let Harry do his worst. He has zero credibility. Let him moan all he likes, why break the habit of the last 6 years.

Didn't M make a point of explaining that Archie pronounces 'zebra' the English way?!

Perhaps he is able to use 2 different accents? I knew a child who was brought up in Bristol and could speak with a Bristolian accent to comic effect but normally spoke with the same accent that her London-born parents used

But this would just play perfectly into HAM's 'victim narrative' - 'Cruel KC takes away thing Harry loves most... etc'

ilovemykindle · Yesterday 15:01

If they separate and the RF need to manage Harry hopefully they will send him to Africa to do conservation work. He might well settle down and be happy with himself. That's where he wanted to go before he married.
