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

he could have been but why would he want to be.

a choice between attending that nonsense or something else worth while and meaningful for him?

Jesus, your IQ would shrink reading this thread at times.

No sign of any cavalcade of blacked out SUVs either.

I’ll just tackle one of the recurrent themes

Stepping back from senior royal duties meant he lost the honorary military titles and therefore could no longer wear uniform as Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Base Honington, and honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Navy’s Small Ships and Diving Operations. He’d only received them in the first place because he was a senior royal, geddit?

Why is it so hard to understand that, just like when an ordinary mortal retires or changes their job, they don’t get to continue to receive a salary, or keep the company car, or visit the subsidised canteen any more, Harry is no longer eligible for the titles. He can still wear his medals. End of.

They let him wear the uniform for the vigil when the public reacted poorly, so they are well able to make it up as they go along.

The whole thing just made the RF look ridiculous - Ann in a military uniform while her brother who actually was, couldn't wear it.

Just watched the documentary on the Kings coronation - it was all filmed in the run up to it- very interesting but one thing that struck me was how Princess Anne and Prince William and his family were there supporting the King in the run up to the coronation - all the rehearsals and just the excitement of it all but sharing that excitement with the family was so important

Harry missed all of that - it’s such a shame how things have worked out - he just rocked up on the day, was shown to his seat and then posed off back to America straight after- he may as well have watched it on TV for all the involvement he had - he’s chosen badly and he’ll regret it in years to come

Yes, that was brilliant!

Will you please stop linking me to The Spectator please. Its a right wing magazine that is just a tad above the gutter press. Its former editors include Boris Johnson (so the trend that a lot of the time, there isn't must of a relationship with the actuality). Its 4th most popular article for 2023 was entitlted ''Ed Sheeran's time is up''.

Give me a break.

I think the reason he just rocked up on the day and left quickly was to do with the fact that he didn't have any security. No one expected him to leave immediately.

By the way, its floating around on X that Earl Spencer has offered Harry a refuge on his estate. From what I recall, Charles Spencer was about to give Diana a Dower House to live in on the estate when she died. (Don't believe what the gutter press say that he refused her somewhere to live). He has denied that and is also very annoyed with the treatment of his sister by the British gutter press.

So, no need to worry about Harry not seeing eye to eye with his parental family. He seems to be very close to the Spencers, so he does have lots of English uncles and cousins for his children to get to know.

He left early because he didn't have anywhere secure to stay. He would have been followed (like you know what happened in New York) and would not have been secure unless in Windsor (his home that was taken from him) or in Kensington Palace.

Thats why he left quickly - no one expected him to do that. It was all in his recent court case.

I’m sure if he went to The Horse and Hound or The Squeaky Duck or The Royal Duke Inn , he’d probably find plenty of people “for his children to get to know” -- his father, his brother, his nephews and niece- they’re the people closest to him and he’s rejected them all outright-he’ll always have people who will “want to get to know him” - but that’s a far cry from the family that knows him best- his “hate” comments about them are extraordinary but are massively influenced by Meaghans view of them which is not necessarily something to be relied on

Here we go again

I think you'll find that the "near catastrophic car chase" has been thoroughly and comprehensively debunked a few thousand posts ago. Harry reportedly had to fly home super urgently for Prince Archie's birthday celebrations. So urgent that Meghan was out for a hike with old friends Markus Anderson and Heather Dorak. BTW, I use the word "hike" in the loosest possible way, as a 40 minute walk near a trail head, bedecked in jewellery and completely ill-equipped for a hike ought to be called a "pap stroll"

There was/is an arrangement that if Harry provides notice he will get accommodation and security but, of course and as I mentioned in a recent post, mostly everything with Harry is complex, or late, or bombastic - nothing is ever simple or straightforward. So he didn't give any notice. Add to that the fact that a lot of Brits think that Harry (and Meghan) are about as welcome as a floater in the swimming pool, he wouldn't have been cheered in any public appearance. When you crap all over your family, there are gonna be consequences.

Yep, the British police would have been caught completely unawares as Harry was chased through London in the middle of a coronation procession. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So he wasn't safe when in the UK for the Coronation when security would have been tight? And this is the level of security he is in court for so he can pay for it i.e. I want to pay for security that puts me in danger regardless. Ridiculous to say he wasn't safe. It's spin on the idea he knows he is persona non grata and his presence was a case of giving 'em nothing to say with him leaving as soon as it was practical.

He feels unsafe. Yet he, while given Coronation level type security, brought the kids over for the Jubilee, brought them to Windsor to meet the Queen, had a birthday party and actually left them in the care of others while they attended the Trooping of the Colour. All of that happened and, in an age when practically everyone has a HD camera on their phone, not one airport staff, not one pap, not one dog walker caught a glimpse of them. Top notch security perhaps? It seems that the only reason anyone even knows he or his family are in the UK is, despite death threats from loons, is because they announce it publicly.

Hopefilly more of Meaghan bring ominously quiet 😀
