Continuing the saga of Sussex PR disasters.

What did he do that deserves that much vitriol?

Especially when you think what he went through as a child.

I just don’t get the hate.

I’m sorry, as I said, I’m not British, so maybe I don’t understand.

But especially considering he served in the Military (and you could argue he’s the only one deserving of his medals).

Please report hate, because it's against the MN guidelines.
Criticism is not hate.
We're not talking about a child. We're talking about a man of 42, who surely has responsibility for his own actions.

@GunnelVallquist I don't hate them. I have never got the impression that the majority of people on these threads hate them either.

Go and read all the threads already detailing that information spanning 6 years, then you can come back and criticise posters.

GunnelVallquist · Yesterday 14:50

Ok, I’m sorry, I’ll leave you all to it.

I just wish people would be a bit kinder sometimes.

Guess I’m stupid.

Have a lovely weekend all.

Just on Harry's autocue fail. I was reminded of this quote by Mark Twain. "If you want me to give you a two-hour presentation, I am ready today. If you want only a five-minute speech, it will take me two weeks to prepare."

I may not have that exactly correct but if H couldn't finish a 15 minute speech about something he cares so much about , which did not contain hard to remember facts and figures - that says to me he did not write it himself or he didn't bother to prepare properly.

Now I come to think of it, I can imagine a sitcom hybrid of only fools and horses and keeping up appearances. About a couple’s desperate quest to become A list billionaires with all the right social connections and money, each episode would end in predictable disaster due to their own failings. Maybe Netflix would like first look?

There isn't any hate, but I think some people regard Harry as above criticism....

I think Harry should be kind, @GunnelVallquist
I think Meghan should be kind.
I think all their fans need to step back and have an honest look at what that pair do.

Starryfifty · Yesterday 14:52

OccasionalHope · Yesterday 14:48

Many think Harry is worse than Meghan.

they must both be a nightmare to live with, so I hope they don’t split up as that would end up making two other people miserable.

I do think Harry is worse because he's dumber than her which makes him dangerous. She does seem to have rat cunning. Both are dye in the wool narcissists, impossibly dull and talentless. However, they are lucky as they are perfect for each other so there is that

Oh, and I didn’t go looking for this thread.

I saw it in ‘active’.

Quite.
You'd be amazed how many people only ever encounter threads in this topic in "active" or "trending" and are then consumed with curiosity and have to open them and read through, only to discover they disagree.
HaM PR disasters 43: AI crashes but amethyst flashes is quite cryptic.
Lots of people have thought it was about cured meat.

No.

Yes, it's quite the problem.

I’m sorry, I realise my post won’t be received kindly (I’m a foreigner after all…although I live in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and my husband is British), but I do feel this thread is rather spiteful and unkind.

If you don’t like Meghan (for whatever reason, I don’t quite understand why she gets that much hate), can’t you at least find it within yourself to be a bit more kind towards Harry?

No.
He wants us, that's you, me, and almost every adult i know to pay £7MILLION PLUS a YEAR for security he doesn't need but he just wants so he can feel important.

No. I will not stop being unkind about him.
He has brought all this dislike on himself by his appalling behaviour. He is a disgrace to his family and is making the UK look ridiculous for having such a total moron being put forward publicly as a member of the Royal Family.

Most rich families have a disgusting, corrupt sleaze like Andrew, it goes with the territory. I hope he goes to prison if guilty, but he won't. For a ruling family to have a borderline idiot running around spouting off is less common. He's an embarrassment to the UK.

Before anyone mentions mental health, so what? Thousands upon thousands of Brits have mental health problems, I'll save my sympathy for them. I also don't think it is necessarily genuine mental health problems, he's just dug himself into a hole full of shit and, understandably, is going crazy because he can't dig himself out.

I’ve never understood why posters here feel the need to explain themselves to these random attacks from ploppers !
stop @Boudy, you are entitled to your opinion and don’t need to justify it in anyway….I would rather expect some explanation why these posters think they have the right to question others!
arrogant and egotistical.

AMW also served in the military, for considerably longer than Harry and saw some active service in the Falklands. I don’t think that makes him automatically qualified for understanding and respect, does it? Those considerations are earned

Perhaps take your own advice and attempt to be kinder to posters minding their own business and discussing a topic that is always in the news!

He lied & also sold stories about his family to the press. Went on Oprah spewing inaccuracies about the royal family while his grandfather Prince Philip was nearly the end of his life. His behaviour caused our late queen much anguish in her final years.

Oh & he keeps insisting us taxpayers should pay for his, Markles & his kids security!

He has the audacity to come back to the UK thinking time will make the public forget what they did but it hasn't, it has infuriated public opinion even more. Also the press & public are relishing all his latest cock ups & his downfall continues

Charles and William also served in the military.

I certainly cannot fault her for that. A lot of other things, but not that.

Very much agree, no one has to explain themselves to randoms with their be kind to Harry mantra, particularly as he is a deeply unkind man himself.

I'm absolutely baffled as to why anyone would defend Harry!
Why do you think that happens, @GunnelVallquist?

Excellent points.

Multibarpack · Yesterday 15:07

Funny how whenever anyone shouts “be kind” it is always very one way.
