Prince Harry

Royal knockout was before my time but this write up:

'It was much simpler back in the eighties, when the Windsors were mostly beloved, and more importantly, respected. Their faces were constantly gazing out of commemorative plates, with mums hoarding newspapers of anniversaries or engagements as a valuable commodity; the Beanie Baby retirement plan of the age. But there was still a distance between the monarchy and their humble subjects, which was to be bridged by a televised spectacle that’d make them relatable; that’d show they were capable of mucking about and having fun. The Grand Knockout Tournament — or as it would be known, It’s a Royal Knockout — was the brainchild of Prince Edward, the most prematurely balding of all the Royals, scratched out on the back of an envelope in the grounds of Buckingham Palace with It’s a Knockout host, and future Yewtree grab, Stuart Hall.'
That's a really good and entertaining bit of writing.

the whole thing is on youtube and is pretty enjoyably wtf if you have an idle hour or so
 
As sibling fights go, that was pretty pathetic. If you've ever been pushed off a moving bus by one of your sisters, you don't worry about your bloody necklace.

my young sister had a here Johnny moment and came thru a door with a frying pan one at the old sister

that was amusing to observe




you think in grand old country house they would of at least raid some weapons from a suit of amour
 
"How d'you get on with ginger face, babes?"

"Fack me Kate, you wouldn't believe it - I offered the cunt out and he only fell in the dog bowl"

"Do what?"

"Straight up. Anyway, silly bollocks got up, saying he'd call his fackin therapist... 'Do your worst, cunt' I says to him. 'Fack me bruv, you bin too long in Californ-i-ay, therapist this, getting in touch with your feelings that - get in touch with this!'
Then I kicked him up the arse and all the way down the whispering gallery"

Brilliant!!!
 
Guardian running a bit about how he consulted a woman 'with powers' to chat to his dead mum now. Fantastic!

"Harry recounts how a Christmas tree ornament in the shape of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, was accidentally smashed by his son, Archie."

Accidently... by Archie. More like the spirit of Diana works in mysterious ways.
 

Camilla joins Harry and Meghan’s biggest critic Piers Morgan at exclusive Christmas lunch​

Piers Morgan was joined by Dame Judi Dench, Jeremy Clarkson and Dame Maggie Smith at a star-studded event in London, where Camilla rubbed shoulders with the UK’s most influential names....

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s most outspoken critic was among famous faces who attended an exclusive Christmas lunch with the Queen Consort this week.

Piers Morgan was joined by Dame Judi Dench, Jeremy Clarkson and Dame Maggie Smith at a star-studded event in London, where Camilla rubbed shoulders with the UK’s most influential names.


Camilla fitting readily into the role of nasty step mother ...

I'd say she couldnt keep her mouth shut if she tried...and I can picture Piers Morgan Jeremy Clarkson and herself having open mouthed toothy guffaws at the Sussexes.
 
So wait is he claiming that it was willy that pushed him into doing that.

The fucker can't even own it and say he was an idiot, got to be someone else's fault.
Yes...he is saying he had 2 outfits for some fancy dress thing and he asked "Wills and Kate" which one he should wear and they both said go nazi for the lolz. I doubt he fully twigged the effect it would have...media wise.
I do think he was quite young then...

He was 21. I would imagine that most of us knew at 21 that wearing Nazi uniform to a party wasn't a particularly good thing to do...

Then of course there was the naked pool playing... he was 27 then.

He has the IQ of a flipflop.

Exactly. It surely wouldn’t have been hard to say, oh yah that time I dressed as a Nazi, it was a long time ago, a silly youthful mistake but I’d never do that now - a sign of how I’ve grown in maturity [Insert Californian therapy-speak here]

Instead, and as you say, the absurd man can’t simply put his hands up and admit to making a mistake, he tries to use the whole sorry episode as a means to have another pop at Willy & Kathy, in a barely-credible way, and in doing so rendering his other claims less believable.
What a twat.
 
You know, I’ve been enjoying this royal meltdown as much as anyone else - and been having a good laugh about it.

But at the back of my mind I keep remembering how this carnival of fools live in the most extravagant luxury on our collective dime, while thousands of real people are living on the streets, hundreds of thousands more in damp, unsafe, cramped accommodation, and maybe millions having to choose between heating or food this winter 🤬😡👿

I thought he was 14/ 15 when he wore it. Not that it makes it a lot better, but certainly not an adult yet.
 
Is it true that until relatively recently, only the reigning monarch got given cash handouts from the taxpayer, while the rest of the royals had to earn a living (or rather, live off the interest on their enormous cash assets while raking in huge piles of cash in the form of rent from tenants living on ‘their’ land - Duchy of Cornwall etc)?
