Prince Harry

Its still annoying to be constantly reminded that these people exist and that people are so focussed on this stuff.

They do exist, though, and some people actually support the Monarchy’s existence. It’s therefore a good thing that those people are reminded that there’s nothing special about them. It’s a good thing that they become a laughing stock rather than revered. It’s good that they are doing that all by themselves, and in such an entertaining way.

People who don’t want to join the hilarity could always not read or post on the thread. “Ignore thread” is available to all.

Yeah it's like pretending the tory party doesn't exist when unfortunately they do

I find the incongruity of him recounting killing dehumanised people v complaining about a sibling fight very odd.

It’s kind of not though, it’s just a more extreme version (because of the deaths) of something that’s really common. Many people are better at compartmentising/justifying actions they do to others/strangers than things done to them by “loved ones”.

I've just had a BBC alert about "the enduring anguish of being the spare".

Reminds me that Andrew must have had the same spare-related "enduring anguish".

"Enduring anguish"

O wot anguish ect

What adult man has to check with another adult in their family to get permission to have a beard?

I think it sounds like something that should be more widely introduced forthwith!

It will all turn out to be more of a wet fart than an implosion, the firm will just ignore him as they do all kinds of awkward stuff. Sadly I suspect there's plenty of life left in them yet (nothing a big axe couldn't mend but we're not there any more and that's probably why we can't have nice things like eg democracy)

Yeah. Anyone thinking this will usher in an unstoppable movement towards dissolution of the monarchy is delusional. But we can enjoy the mad spectical for what it is.

Everyone in a relationship, I’m imagining. (I hope I’m not saying too much here!)

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Yeah, a lot of soldiers including WW2 vets who killed Nazis in such numbers are psychologically destroyed by it though, its not the number its the language he uses and the fact he says he doesn't feel bad, it doesn't really tally with the other stuff he says

He's a royal though, not really human. As Martin said in his vid today they were probably peasants growing poppies. It could ofcourse be absolute bollocks.

Oh aye, it’s not a coup de grace by any means. But it’s a huge change in public attitude from 1953.

 

[weltweit]

Well, he has made his bed.

I hope he thought about the implications before he did the deed.

Who else in the family has he been snogging then?

 

[xenon]

Though I suspect you're quite right about this not representing an implosion, it is interesting to see how the MSM are struggling with the new reality of being offered open season to mock/attack another member of the RF. After the Loch Ness noncer this is starting to really knock the mystique thing, or however much of that remained.

Who knows, maybe even some of the credulous tools out there might just start to think about the whole edifice if we keep on seeing family members taken down by the media?

e2a: these people are all awful cunts, but to see this level of derision regarding a member of the RF is quite something...

I don't think there are too many of the credulous fools, real royal fenatics. Those there are don't like Harry and particularly Megan anyway. They just get on radio phone ins a lot. Most people are quite rightly meh about the whole thing but don't want to actively replace the monarchy either.

 

[danny la rouge]

Cousins at the very least.

Well, he has made his bed.

First time for everything.

 

[Agent Sparrow]

I’m guessing he is not the one who makes his beds.

I would have said in his entire life but presumably he had to in the army…?

Edit: Grrr, JimW got there first because I provisoed

I'm not sure the implications of shagging a horsy lady behind a pub are that grave tbf. it's fairly standard coming of age stuff for the landed classes

 

[killer b]

seriously though, what do you think the implications might be for the guy weltweit ? might he become estranged from his family? Could he and his family become an object of derision and hatred in the tabloid press? Might the british public turn against him? Those birds have already flown.

 

[Sweet FA]

they should be murdered? For simply being a particular class of person?

Well OK Tanya, now you've put it out there, I'm in.

 

[andysays]

I'm not sure the implications of shagging a horsy lady behind a pub are that grave tbf. it's fairly standard coming of age stuff for the landed classes

weltweit can clarify what he meant if he wishes, but it appears to me that the "making his bed" here refers to "writing" and publishing the book, rather than the shagging or any other individual incident.

And to me at least, it's not about the fact that he's done these various things, or that other people has done the various things he alleges, as the fact that Harry has chosen to recount them all, and the way he recounts them in his account.

Without the horsy stuff I'd imagine it used to be fairly common for a lot of people.

I reckon he thought all this might make him more human and didn't consider that it would also lead to lots of laughs at his expense but maybe he did and doesn't care...just like most people have forgotten the King wanting to be a tampon all this will blow over.

Also, first book about himself with a few revealing moments about others to show them he's prepared to talk. Second book has to be about about the future king.

he is following in his parent's footsteps. Charles wrote a tell all book where he complained about his mother.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...charles/c11cb879-ecb3-4648-8068-a7cd0eb45d0b/

"It is the woeful, self-justifying, self-pitying story of a lonely childhood, a remote and relentlessly demanding father, a marriage into which Charles was browbeaten.

The book describes Philip as disappointed that his son was "soft," "a bit of a wimp," unathletic and uninterested in horsemanship. "The small boy was frequently brought to tears by the mocking banter" of his father, particularly at social gatherings, the book says. Nor did he find comfort in his mother, Queen Elizabeth, who is described as aloof and deferential to Philip in matters involving Charles."

And the article goes on as follows:
"This newest installment by Charles will do nothing to diminish the great hand-wringing among those who regard themselves as protectors of the honor of the Crown. Some constitutional scholars have even suggested that Parliament deny Charles succession to the throne, in favor of one of his sons."

Diana's book spilled a lot of beans too.

They cant really complain about Harry writing a book...

 

[gosub]

He also says Willie demanded he shave his beard off shouting "I'm the future king..I demand you shave your beard"
Harry says his grandmother decided he didnt have to shave it off and Wille was livid.

What adult man has to check with another adult in their family to get permission to have a beard?

Slightly more complicated in that they were both in uniform What do the Armed Forces say you can and can't do with your facial hair?. CO gave her ealing should be the end of it
