Harry and Meghan - OP updated with Threadbanned Users 4/5/21

I reallllly could not give a FAWK about the coronation.. only heard about it yday.. had to vent that somewhere.. so thought of here.. ffs.... tis soooo out of touch with reality and sooooo dated.. ffs zzzzz

I presume Will and Kate said nowt to Harry. It would be very dangerous as he could twist it.

I would say that as a Counsellor of State (and former army) he felt a duty to be there. He is still a royal, that is who he is. People have moved on from the last Queen, the same will happen to Charles. But Harry will still be a member of that family whether he (or Charles for that matter) likes it or not. He just can't get away from it.

If he spoke the truth about Charles and Camilla - maybe they are the ones who should be apologetic. Why do you think Charles invited him anyway. Its not as if Charles isn't a petty and vindictive person (for example, evicting Angela Kelly from the house his mother gave her for life because he didn't like her).

He is screwed whether he remained or not according to you because, according to you, his family don't like him. Why would he stick around in that case?

I'd imagine he hasn't thought about divorce since he is very obviously happily married with two kids (who will always be his family) or are you assuming his children won't like him and will have nothing to do with him?

Community Property: You think that there is something wrong is splitting assets equally in the event of a divorce?

There are times in your life you have to think things through. You have to make a stand. What would have been the reaction to the kings son NOT attending?

I’m assuming nothing about his children, to me children are off limits with regards to adult relationships. She already has form, in all of her adult relationship, family and previous husband. The pattern is strong with this one. He would have to be a complete fool not to have thought about this (which we kinda know he is).

obviously we don’t have the resources that he has. Reported 16-20 million stg, inheritance. Common sense would make sure you protected your future and those of your children. California is not a State you would want to get divorced in. Wonder why they ended up in California? Hmmmm

I thought the Coronation was very flat. Papers desperately looking for something to jazz up the coverage. The Queen’s funeral was a much more impressive spectacle and the procession was better.

i think it shows how much the coverage depends on attractive people and fashion, glamour I suppose. If they’re not talking about Kate and what she’s wearing, what else is there. You couldn’t even see Kate’s apparently beautiful dress yesterday which would have cost thousands.

Louis’ behaviour was another narrative they were clinging to but he’s older now so there’ll be no more faces etc.

Have to say, I thought Beatrice looked fab, lovely dress and she’s lost weight.

It was a grace and favour house from the Queen. She moved from that place and will move into a gaff the Crown paid for until she dies. Place then moves back to the Crown. Kelly was effectively redundant once the Queen died since Charles doesn't wear dresses. Maybe he does. Perhaps those making baseless claims should just at that to the list. 🙂

In terms of Harry’s future I’m of similar view which I know is a depressing stance to take, and it’s certainly not wishing it on him, but the signs are there for all to see:

1. Alienation from his own family
2. Alienation of the British public especially after their public wedding
3. Alienation from most of Meaghan's family
4. A loss if former friends
5. A lack of clear direction around how they will generate income or become credible players on a world stage, over and above their “fame”
6. Meaghan’s sole signing to WME agency - while Archwell is part of that signing its signalling the start of an independent enterprise - the future won’t be about H&M - just M.
7. A complete sense of entitlement, “it’s everyone else’s fault but ours “ approach and a complete reluctance to even try to work with their families out of the limelight to resolve issues
8. Harry will wake up some day to find Meaghan has carved out an independent life, enabled by his fame and wealth - California is a great place for a divorce when it comes to getting a good pay out- you can’t help but think this is the start of a very slow motion car crash

I know this seems to be the defacto Royal family thread but Harry attended, Harry got "feathered" by Annes hat and then Harry left. Not much else Harry/Meghan related talking points re the Coronation.

Indeed it is sad. And for the people criticising Harry in this thread, including me, I think their criticism in the most part stems from a desire to see a better life for him than what he’s currently experiencing.

Himself and Meaghan are united against their families- that’s not a basis for a long term relationship.

It was like watching a 74 year old man making his confirmation via a golden carriage. Yeesh. A bizarre service but very much religion/faith driven as expected. Not my personal cup of tea but the music interludes were great but I agree that it was underwhelming. The fabulous abbey aside my guess is that costs were kept down as well as royal fatigue setting in since there has been a Jubilee and the Queens death and funeral all in the past year. The extensive coverage of that means that while royalists in the UK clearly love it judging by the turn out to a casual observer it becomes watching the pomp, the pageantry, the marching bands and the military salutes all over again in quick order.
