Looks like he's got a problem with one individual, the one wearing what looks like a red waterproof who we get a glimpse of just before the video ends..

Genuine NYC paparazzi or just a civilian making awkward comments?

Edited

My guess is red jacket guy is just a normal pedestrian who just happened to get 'too close' to the Dook. Certainly nothing any private security guy couldn't handle. People far richer, more famous and more important than Harry stroll around NY unbothered all the time.

I don't think the statement from the school is a surprise as we know HAM leans heavily on people, when negative press is coming due to HAM's behaviour, to issue a statement denying the behaviour is an issue.

Whatever the school's real feelings on the visit, they tend to err on the side of caution if they're getting pressure from outside.

Which this morning?

As I type (Breakfast time Wednesday AM in Europe) it will still be very early AM and dark in NYC.

Good point, it's barely light here in the UK 🙄

CANNOT imagine Harry speaking for any length of time on those topics. We'll be back on generational pain by 8 minutes in

It's arrogant, foolish and incredibly nasty.
How must William feel? His brother has already tried to diminish him, now his uncle?
It's a good job he has a happy marriage and lovely children, he'd go off the rails.

Its likely hurtful but we really dont know if he has a happy marriage. These are people trained from day 1 to put on the happy show. I'll wait for Charlotte's book but I do wish them happiness

Ok. So you imagine that it's all a front, and they're expert at false body language?
Charlotte's book? What on earth would that be?

Here’s the full video. The security guy - recognise him? - is batting people away.

They are walking along at a hell of a pace. I hope the guy has a good cardio record.

It would have served him right if the guy had retaliated.
Is there only security guard with him ? Assume he will be armed .

Quite.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 23/09/2026 08:16

I'm assuming that's auto carrot for Charles (Spencer)'s book - which on what I've read about it seems to be a bit of a mash up of incorrect recollection, rumour, assumption, resentment and bile.

Apologies, I should have RTFT. These threads move so fast and I’m just catching up now.

No worries - these threads belt along at quite a pace!

Auto carrot is my favourite auto correct 🥰
The PP was being snide, suggesting in 20-odd years Charlotte Wales will have her own book published , since she is now George's "spare".
(I'm not bothered either way and personally think the family look happy and solid, but the PP is right in that we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, ever. They are incredibly good actors if things are bad at home though!)

Its me being sarcastic about H&CS writing their "tell all" books.

By the way, who is looking forward to the CS book and H documentary for the 50th anniversary of Diana's death. Given that 30th is said to very important surely 50th will be more important and worth bigger books and documenaries? The poor woman!

Autocorrect can't even get itself right! I prefer the veggie version as well.

Perhaps after 50 years, it won't arouse such passions.

Quite.

She might. She might not. It might be about how happy and resilient they were. Or it might be about how miserable it was. Who knows. Or how the monarchy ended. Or it might be on AI or some scientific issue. Who knows. certainly none of us 20 years ago thought Harry would write a book? And why not?

I was being half sarcastic though but truthfully speaking, we dont know what goes on behind closed doors.

No. That poster was suggesting Charlotte would write a book, sometime in the future.

Of course we don't. However, I look at an 11 year old girl, who's had to deal with her Mum's cancer, and the various stresses they've had, and I hope that she's enjoying school and friendships and her trampolining and cricket and whatever.
I'm not projecting beyond that.

Who knows? anyway, life's too short.

Handbagsandoldcurtains · 23/09/2026 08:37

If CS’s book does end up being pulped, I can’t imagine a 50th anniversary one will be popular with publishers.

But back to our thread protagonists. If Uncle Spencer can no longer help with the Daily Mail’s court costs, whatever will they do next?

Yes, I never realised just how similar Spencer is to Harry.
I suppose it's like Harry's book; not the objective truth, but "his truth".

And here’s the photo from the dinner. What what? Harry isn’t centre stage?

That's because Meghan wasn't there to position herself in the centre, clinging on to Harry and direct everyone else to their places.
