    Harry, writing in a book he got millions for, saying that Paul Burrell, who got millions for writing a book, made his "blood boil" for writing that book. 🤣

    We all don't have the insight, but I think that Meghan didn't fit in or made little to no effort to do so. Her influence on Harry is also not positive, and possibly Harry was suffering of his mothers early death more. The Royal Family is also no stage or playing field for US-American actors or actresses who want to be in the centre of attention.

    The whole story is a bit like Wallace Simpson.

    Another book where Harry says at a party William got three cocktail sausages and he only got two.

    Exactly, he is criticising others when he's doing the exact same. Or maybe he thinks he is above them all due to his royal birth.

    Quote the posts that are supportive of Andrew, I've been involved in this thread from early on and I've yet to see one. There weren't any in the 'Prince Andrew in Jep?" thread in AH either

    Wallace Simpson was just a cover for the real reason Edward has to abdicate. He was pro Nazis. There is even an existing photo of him teaching the then Princesses Elizabeth & Margaret the Nazi salute.

    I'm not sure why Edward would have had to abdicate for wanting to marry a divorced woman, bearing in mind that he was King and single and Head of the Church of England. The Queen decided that it would be ok for Charles to marry a divorced woman, so why didn't Edward do the same. Its not as if the Established Church of England separated from Rome so that Henry could marry again.

    I'd say that Harry was totally neglected after his mother's death. From what I read somewhere he was sent off to boarding school and Charles didn't even visit for six months. William also left him to his own devices having told him he needed to make his own way in boarding school. Harry was only 12 at the time. That was really poor parenting from his nearest and dearest. I think the Queen and Philip were very close to him though. Charles was too wrapped up in rehabbing Camilla and his own image.

    I'm surprised that more people here who condemn Harry for being 'mad' and being inthrall to Meghan have absolutely no criticism for his own family for taking care of him when he was growing up so that he shouldn't have had to go into therapy.

    How did she not fit in. She was told that the monarchy couldn't afford her, so she bought her own clothes, her own furniture to furnish the cottage, raised money for charities (cookbook for Grenfell Towers survivors raised just under £1m for example). Someone has looked up the records for her first year in the RF and Harry & Meghan's costs were £89,000 to the RF.

    Probably didn't fit in because she was a worker and could support herself and Harry

    We all "eat sour grapes of our parents". People have kids young, when they haven't healed their own hurt emotions yet and pass their problems on their kids. It is the way it is. No one was raised in a perfect family. And many are raised in abusive ones.

    Last week he intimated that he only took drugs as a teenager. Looks like he's still a druggie. Explains a lot.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,449 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    Smoking an occasional spliff in a place where it is perfectly legal to do so doesn't make him a 'druggie' and I'm not sure what you think it explains?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭SAMTALK


    A 12 year old boy who lost the only loving warm person he knew, to be paraded in front of people while he should have been sheltered by the adults , his fathers mistress then stepping into the family, all attention on preparing William for his future role


    Doesnt lend to a nice childhood / early adulthood. He has issues that havent been dealt with properly and I can't see it ending well for him. hopefully he is in a solid marriage because if not he risks losing everyone

    I think 2 of the most dangerous people in the royal family are Camilla and Kate. they strike me as 2 women who has a set of goals and nothing was going to get in their way to achieve these goals .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,669 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Must say the idea that she is a manipulative / narcissistic monster pulling all his string is clearly total and utter BS from the tabloids. Listen to all of the interviews he has given : does it sound like she put all this stuff into his head? He seems very much his own man with a lot to say for himself....not just repeating parrot fashion lines he has been given by someone else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,805 ✭✭✭maebee


    He has admitted to taking Ayahuasca, psilocybin, mushrooms, marijuana, cocaine etc.

    I think that taking all of the above has messed up his head and made him do the despicable act of selling his soul to the media for megabucks.

    I did say he was damaged from his mother's death and that his father's family are cold, others have said it too.

    This thread is hilarious, the anti RF posters accuse us of blindly supporting the RF and not acknowledging Harry has issues. Playing them on the world stage isn't going to bring his mother back.

    I'd imagine dabbling in drugs is a very common experience for a lot of people, it doesn't mean Harry is an addict, nor does itautomatically mean that he has psychological issues from the experience.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,073 ✭✭✭JoChervil


    Brain washed people can be very articulate, yet they don't have a grasp of full reality to take from.

    She probably has the awareness to see how bad this is going to go for Harry and distanced herself letting him fly solo and go down in flames....alone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,611 ✭✭✭tinytobe


    This would probably get him into trouble with US immigration authorities and his visa/residency or green card.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,648 ✭✭✭valoren


    He is coming across as so (damagingly) self-righteous in these interviews. There is no mea culpa at all. The merest hint of challenge and he bristles with indignation and belligerence then starts rambling. You can imagine the discussions behind closed doors about finding common ground for whatever the hell it is that he wants/wanted. He could have been anything he wanted. Except be King. Access to the very best of everything. That isn't even a first world problem. Everyone was probably sick to death of his attitude and his moaning. Never happy, ever. He met the love of his life and instead of the shunning he wants to portray I'd say there was private relief that he might find peace and focus and everyone was supportive and wanted it to work.

    It's been a Disney movie ever since. The Fairytale Wedding, the Singing to Animals and having them sing back, Losing their Voices, a Wicked Stepmother, a righteous Prince and the villainous scheming Prince, the pitchfork wielding hacks, affirmations from Spirits, Castles, the escape to Happily ever after and getting their voices back. Barf.

    This thread started with the then upcoming Oprah interview. Harry has now rowed back on the big bombshell from that which helped propel this thread forward i.e. we never said our family was racist, it was unconscious bias, they need training from me, a CHIMPO. That he gas lighted Tom Bradby, someone who has been supportive of him for so long, is quite telling. Harry, in his head, is right, end of. He has utterly embraced his “truth”. In the end, with his now newfound and profound wisdom and insight, he is willing to try and help to fix a problem which he now says never even existed. In this fairy tale the drawbridge has been retracted.

    He is effectively alienating himself from everyone now. Even if Cox was ok with this publication it will make all of his associates question what else he will publicise next. Anyone with a functioning brain will be wary at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,449 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    How long ago did he take the psychedelics? Was he a habitual user of them or did he try them once? Lots of people try psychedelics when they're young, doesn't make them a "druggie" in their late thirties. Whether you realise it or not, lots of people you know have done the same. Smoking legal grade marajuana in the evening doesn't make him a "druggie" anymore than having a glass of wine in the evening makes him an alcoholic.

    Honestly dog bowl Harry (who had everything handed to him in life) must be high all the time (like towlie of South Park fame) if he thinks he's acting wisely. He's now a figure of fun. Still I doubt he has any say in the matter. Meghan patently wears the trousers and will just send him to the kennel if he yaps too much (maybe I'm unfair to dogs).

    It's gonna take me a while but there's defo one poster who didnt see it as a big deal. Will get back to you.

    I'm sure the Obama's are breathing a sigh of relief they didn't invite the pair to Barack's 60th!

    What famous person would now invite this pair to any event or party knowing they are going to go running to the press to sell their story as well as private information on others.

    They have become what they thought they were fighting against.
