Harry

[Siderite]

Prince Harry desperately wants his father and brother back, but he has to go public with all his accusations because they leak damaging material about the Suffolks, while saying William is a weak, petty, racist and jealous individual who hates his wife. Why does he want someone like that back then?

I am not saying that some of the problems Harry has aren’t valid, but this soap opera drama is getting boring. For someone who escaped to the USA to avoid the public eye he and Megan are in it a lot!

[Iron-awe]

That’s part how they make their money these days, I’ve no problem with him TBH and the system he’s left is beyond a joke. We should have binned all of them years ago IMO.

They did say they were going to the States for a more private life. This doesn’t seem to be that.

[Gurnelista]

It’s understandable that after all the comment, criticism and speculation from other royals, the papers and the tv all saying he and his mrs are this and that, he’d want to tell his own story, particularly when there’s so much bitchiness, lies and misogyny involved. And of course, he’s seen his own mother go through the same.

In the greater scheme of things this is nothing more than High Society tittle-tattle. There are far more important issues facing the British public at this moment in time.

We don’t need a monarchy and we certainly don’t need this transatlantic soap opera.

Yet bizarrely the public not only lap it up but hold their bowls up for more!

And of course to the tabloid press this is manna from heaven. To the right wing government it’s not only flag waving but a handy distraction from the mess they’re making running the country.

Yesterday’s headlines in the majority of newspapers was about the NHS crisis and rail strikes. In the Mail and the Sun it was this story.

Personally I don’t give a toss about any of them and find the public voyeurism both unhealthy and uncomfortable, though not unsurprising.

I am probably more ambivalent about the monarchy than you, NI (I am not pro, but am probably more of a half-arsed republican), but I agree with it being needless distraction from both sides.

[Northumbiron]

Not against them as people Sidey (have spoken to Princess Anne and she was very nice). Just don’t think we need a monarchy in the 21st century.

Charles and William talk about modernising the monarchy but I doubt they will. More to the point I doubt large sections of the British public want them too.

Souvenir Coronation mugs! Get ’em here!

I didn’t mean that you were against them as people. I just meant you are more against the principle and institution than I am. :-)

Both sides of the water it seems. There’s a big swath of Royalty fans in the US. Much more than I’d anticipated it seems. The market for it is huge.

Definitely Deerey.

Breaking the American market. What the Beatles & Stones did in the sixties our young Royals are doing today.

Everyone loves a Disney Princess!

[Iron-awe]

Don’t forget there are about 270 million more Yanks than us, that is a huge market to tap into and loads of em like coming over here to drool over our history and historic buildings. Can see why H and his Mrs went there to live because the cash opportunities for them as a couple are immense, it’s just how stuff like that works over there too, it’s all glitz, glamour and gossip which Yanks in particular lap up. Can’t see any harm in them tapping into that market as a nice little earner and if they don’t remain a drain on our countries resources them I’m fine with that. The royals are a drain and after all, their land and farms and buildings all belong to the country anyway, so I say bin the people and the wealth created from their/ our resources should be poured back into public coffers. Just my opinion.

To paraphrase remainers,”not everyone who knocks Harry and Meghan is racist,, but every racist knocks them “

[Deereyme66]

Is there a dedicated Royals channel or it is unnecessary due to the rolling coverage on the main news channels? Witchell’s buying another holiday home at this rate.

Just watching him crawling now on the main BBC news, top story my left cheek.

Witchell guessing again with his washer woman tittle-tattle with a mouthful of gobstoppers!

Speculation is not news. Sack the effer.

the amount of coverage in the right wing press,Express Mail and Sun this gets running parallel with their stories saying he should shut up and go away is funny. Hilarious to se the Sun headline today, everyone doing the Brothers fighting angle ,the Sun “Harry did coke” lol

[Deereyme66]

They run a Royals story every day from what I can tell, even before this new book. Must be taking up more than half their rags now.

[WonderGoals]

They want to look at Prince Charles who was sleeping with Camilla at the time he was married. Charles also had Jimmy Saville visiting on numerous occasions and had him acting as a mediator between him and Diana.

Princess Diana hated Saville and said he was creepy in one of the books. We all know what Saville used to get up to !

Johnny Rotten said years ago exactly who he was and what he was up to in an interview on the BBC in the late 70’s and a result BBC banned him. I find it hard to believe that Charles didn’t know what he was up to as people who get that kind of access are vetted closely by the authorities.

You have ask yourself for what other purposes Charles had such a close relationship with Saville. Throw Prince Andrew into the mix. The royal family are questionable to say the least.

I’d much rather take Harry and his supposed “sniffing” incident.

[Deereyme66]

‘You have ask yourself for what other purposes Charles had such a close relationship with Saville.’

Do you? Does that go for for the countless other high profile people who Saville leached up to? Letting your imagination get carried away I reckon. Lots of people suspected he was very dodgy and heard rumours but he managed to protect himself all his life by getting influential and prolific people to vouch for his character and cover up.

[Heath]

Saying that he killed 35 Talibans was not the brightest idea.

“but he managed to protect himself all his life by getting influential and prolific people to vouch for his character and cover up”

Does Charles fall into this bracket by inviting him around buckingham palace on numerous occasions or did he unbelievably not have a clue about who he was and what he was doing ?

Do you not realise that people who have that kind of access are looked into first by the bloody security services, go do your own research. They will not allow anybody access like that without being thoroughly vetted first.

You have to take into consideration that the visits came way after he was outed on national tv. I find it very hard to believe that somebody like Johnny Rotten would know, among many others who knew what he was up to and yet the intelligence services who looks into anybody before they’re allowed access, failed to find out what he was up to despite the numerous rumours and Johnny Rotten who outed him in 1978 live on BBC ?…..”who later banned him”

Harry is best keeping them at arms length.

[Iron-awe]

Aye old JR was a big royalist in his day, what was that line, ” God save the Queen a fascist regime “?, mind you I admire Harry for leaving all the pomp and crap and bullshit behind to concentrate on earning his own money and not be a financial drain on the country. Go Harry, sock it to em.

‘Does Charles fall into this bracket by inviting him around buckingham palace on numerous occasions or did he unbelievably not have a clue about who he was and what he was doing ?’

Did I say that he probably didn’t have a clue about what Saville was up to? No. Not really sure what you’re banging on about tbh. You asked a loaded question about Charles inviting him round for ‘other purposes’. That’s what I responded to. The amount of high ranking people who knew about his activities was immense. It was massive cover up. Now, you’ve gone off on a tangent about security services vetting, which every Tom Dick and Harry is aware of. My point to you was about the possibility of Charles inviting him for ‘other purposes’. What are you suggesting with your Sun style gossiping might that entail then? Actually, I’m not that arsed what you think, particularly as I’m aware I’m being dragged in to a Piers Morgan type tittle tattle gossip column. Good day to you.
