Prince Harry

[danny la rouge]

From noncery through Jubilee, two deaths and now all this we’ve had a fucking year of this constant background whirring of them in the news. I tired of it ages ago.

Oh, I’ve had enough of the Royals. What I’m enjoying is the Wagetha Christie-beating pantomime from Harry. Each new revolution is funnier and funnier. We’ve had talking bins, ffs!

 

[gosub]

Yes...the number comment was appallingly crass... I wonder if that's the way his army mates talked about killing the Taliban?
Worse was an absence of remorse.. unless there is more in the book about that.

It was worse than crass, what sort of bounder brings a machine gun to a chess match?

 

[MickiQ]

So, I think he was the gun pilot on Apache. Anyone know more about how that system works? I thought the gun pilot was normally a fully qualified Apache Longbow pilot (and often the more experienced of the two people flying it) .

Given his school history I find it hard to believe that Wills was capable of passing the full Apache course anyone got any more info on the system or the specifics?

Harry actually flew the Cambs Air ambulance for a few years, which I think is single pilot operation, so he must have been a 'proper' pilot...

I believe that both crew positions have a basic set of controls to both fly the aircraft and operate the weapons but the rear one has more whizzy bits for flying and the front seat has the extra gubbins for shooting and blowing stuff up.

I've enough problems in my life without making room for the reedy-voiced attention seeking of a bloodthirsty, pampered, privileged nonentity

"Brand Harry" can go and drown in its own shite along with the rest of the Royals

I've not guffawed out loud in a long time...depression and anxiety ridden...
But I have laughed heartily at the revelations popping up from his book and especially the witticisms of urbanites on this thread and the Harry and Meghan thread.
Some of the posts have been nothing short of hilarious.

Fair play to you, I hope you're feeling better and more positive very soon.

The taliban don't seem to do overseas missions and are fighting isil who seem to be main flavour of freelance headbanger allegiance. Might not have upped the risk that much.

True, but if ever they wanted to mount a 'spectacular'; hiring some nut-job in gunland might not be beyond their capabilities?

 

[Wolveryeti]

I can't work out why he said it. I'm torn between "i need to show how loyal i am to this country"* and " i need something to show why I've lost the plot". Either way - I'm not convinced of anything other than his increasing descent into madness.

(*fwiw I'm not sure killing people around the world for geopolitical reasons is a good display of loyalty...)

Well it's a clear talking point and he wants to sell copies of his book - probably more to fuck over the rump Royal Family than the money but there you go...

I think you have got that the wrong way round, William was an air ambulance pilot for some years.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Fair enough.

Cant help but think his life was managed from birth to recently.
Told what to do...where to go. How to act. Pushed into army.
Etc.

I've no time whatsoever for the monarchy. Fuck em.
But Harry is at least giving an honest account and showing the shit show up for what it really is.

If you believe his 'truth', well, gullible springs to mind.

 

[Wolveryeti]

There's only one way of fixing this and it's to get the lot of them on a Jeremy Kyle special.

Exclusive picture from the new book, taken on the beach soon after Harry moved to the US and got the Netflix deal in the bag...

Or jerry springer

I reckon Kyle and Springer can tag team it given the transatlantic nature of the dispute

 

[Sasaferrato]

Innit just.

My view is a plague on all their houses/palaces, yet found myself reading THIS earlier and kind of understanding why he's so pissed off...

Had he genuinely wished to 'retire' from public duties, he could have made an announcement and walked away. Instead he wanted to use his title to sell crap.

Had he genuinely wished to safeguard his and his family's privacy, he would not be screaming his utter fucking bullshit at every opportunity.

He and his equally narcissist wife cannot bear to be out of the limelight.

Many people have a right to feel pissed off, he isn't one of them.

 

[gosub]

No private security would be able to protect him and his family from any concerted effort by anyone half-capable (particularly if they were willing to give up their own life). I think he been very foolish.

I'm not sure his brother is going to take it that far just coz he called him a baldy

 

[Aladdin]

Who knows.
As nutty as he sounds, I'd believe his account over a tabloid.

Rumour has it that Phil offed Di cos she beat him at Trivial Pursuit, so anything's possible.

lock them in a room for a week and see who walks out

 

[The39thStep]

I won't believe any of that 25 number until the Yanks have verified it

 

[andysays]

It's not either/or though, is it?

You seem unable to consider the option that at least some of Harry's version of the story is as much of a construction as the stuff printed in the tabloids.

And even if it's 100% true, the inclusion of much of it shows really poor judgement.

Your belief in the primacy of the royal family isn't at all gullible though

 

[moochedit]

editor or Lazy Llama - any chance of a merger with the other harry thread?

I think you mean….

 

[moochedit]

Ta editor

 

[Looby]

Fuck, I thought it had been binned!

It’s pretty fucking embarrassing if all that the papers are claiming is actually in the book.

He’s made himself look like an absolute tit with all the ‘confessions’ designed to make him look, I don’t know, edgy? Bit inbetweeners isn’t it.

It could have been an interesting book if he didn’t sound like such a whiny little prick. It could also have been far more damaging to the RF if that was the intention with a bit more self awareness at play.

TBF the credit really goes to His Gingerness, the jokes are writing themselves.

 

[not-bono-ever]

The top royals don’t really see on board decent PR management do they ? Car crash

Or is it too soon for that quip?
