Wait.

Harry actually said, "I'm a prince?" As in, "don't you know who I am?" Details, please!!😆

There was a poster (I think it was ) who pointed out some time ago that the 'British press' doesn't act as a single entity, in the way that a Californian celebrity agency might do.
She also pointed out that if a UK news organisation was offered a story about one member of the RF rather than another, they now had 3 stories: the original one, the new one and the story of the attempted cover-up.

I don't recall seeing that, thank you.

Apparently he said I’m a prince 3 times in the gq interview if the extracts are to be believed!!! 🤔😬

I find it disquieting them having had no interest in national theatre, commonwealth etc patronages. I think it's because you always hoped that by doing your best to ensure your children have a great educational experiences, lots of cultural experiences, opportunities etc that will mean they grow up to be people to have lots of interests in life and who have the ability to really enjoy life and appreciate it. It's uncomfortable to think that children can have all these things and yet still grow up to be as vacuous as that pair - everything is wasted on them.

I wish I could study their childhoods and find out where it all went wrong. I know they both had dysfunctional families and trauma from mother dying/abandoning respectively. But how does that explain the vacuousness? The complete self absorbtion, lack of self awareness and not having any interest in anything remotely worthwhile or meaningful? As discussed a few days ago, probably neither of them have ever read a book other than what was required during their education. It seems like they both had parent(s) who at least tried to give them a range of experiences, travel, the arts etc and they both had private education although I'm sure Meghan's wasn't so swanky.

Yes, in the sense of something like, ‘I’m in a massively relatable situation. I’m a prince. I’ve done the work. I’ve done the work because I’m a prince and I’ve been able to do the work. This is massively relatable. These family breakups are actually really common and I’m a prince so that’s really special and I’m telling you this because I’ve done coke it’s massively relatable. I’m a special precious Prince.’

Meanwhile, the Independent, which is a bit republican, is having none of it any more and is printing William’s POV.

Prince William has ‘no intention of reconciling with Prince Harry’ following plea

Duke of Sussex said this week he moved back to the UK in September in part to be ‘closer’ with his family

Any update on November official engagements from Prince of England?

twosmallaxolotls · 22/10/2026 15:50

Did everyone else see the picture of Harry at the GQ interview?! 😱
He is 42! He looks like he's been in a 10 day stag do in Krakow, accidentally fell in a skip, woke up in Bratislava, ate a 3 day old kebab and hitched a ride on a rubble lorry. Then fell off the ferry, got pulled out and slept in a doorway. Then went through some bins, drunk some cider and then staggered home.
