Current Affairs 2023

Just a thought - if the rumours at the time were to be true then Harry is not even a member of the Royal family

Now that would be interesting and quite a bombshell. Surely not!!

The way the Royals put it about…who knows....but lets hope so, Diana would be laughing in her grave.

I'm sure Diana wouldn't be doing any such thing. She seemed devoted to her sons and she'd be horrified to see what's happened to her sons. As for the Royal Family making no comment I'm sure that's the best thing for them. The minute they make any comment Harry will come back with some contrary comment. That would just stoke the fire. Does he really think by making the comments he has about Charles and Camilla that it will make them approach him.

Still watching the H&M docusoaps on Netflix and still waiting for some bombshell revelation that would make me wonder if OL is not really delusional, but nothing yet.

She was indeed devoted to her two sons which comes as no surprise considering what a lovely person she was. I’m not so sure she would be to upset to find the curly one carried the genes of another man, but I concede you could be right about her laughing; however, it would certainly wipe the smile off Charles’s face if it was proved to be true.
We have different opinions as to why the Firm keeps rolling out the old chestnut tree “No Comment” …it’s the only thing they’ve got left to hide behind in my opinion.

As I understand it, the comment about whether Charles and Camilia should have got married was according to Harry, a joint statement of feeling…not the kind of thing you make up without a firm belief of it being a true, I would have thought?

As long as they keep rolling out the No Comment statement, they should be safe, should they choose to apologies to Harry and Meghan then they should also be safe…if however, they choose to call out Harry…then the rumours about William and Rose Hanbury will truly cause the explosion you are looking for....be carful what you wish for John.

the comment about whether Charles and Camilia should have got married was according to Harry, a joint statement of feeling

But when was it made? Was after Charles and Diana split up, when the got divorced, after Diana died or just before Charles and Camilla got married.

Like most of the M&H saga there is no context to the statements.

the rumours about William and Rose Hanbury will truly cause the explosion you are looking for.

I thought that that rumour had been discredited by all parties and is just social media gossip.

[Mervyn and Trish]

My overall take from the revelations is that Harry is a deeply disturbed young man badly affected brother death of his mother at the hands of a drunken driver. None of what he says, even if every word is true, backs his wider claims about he and Meghan being victims of some sort of vendetta by the Royal Family. None of it disproves the claims she didn't understand the implications and duties of joining that family and was difficult and treated staff badly. Overall the book adds nothing to the sum of human knowledge. He also appears to have fired all his bullets and left nothing for volume 2.

It doesn’t really matter when it was made, the fact is that they must have seen it coming once they found out their father was doing the dirty on their mother.

Hardly discredited….hushed up would be a more appropriate term.

[david63]

It doesn’t really matter when it was made,

Actually it does. If the statement was made when they were youngsters that is a totally different scenario than when Charles and Camilla were about to get married.

He also appears to have fired all his bullets and left nothing for volume 2.

That is about the only good thing to come from this book (and all the interviews leading up to its "official" release)

[Mervyn and Trish]

they must have seen it coming once they found out their father was doing the dirty on their mother

And vice versa

Oh, come on Sir Merv…. you’re surly not comparing what Charles did to that of what Diana did…. Charles was trying to morph into a tampon while Diana was giving birth to his heir.

That sentence alone goes to prove what an archaic institution you and others are supporting… imo

I think you're pushing the language limits again OL. And assuming a level of personal knowledge you don't actually have.

[Bensham33]

Just been saying on the radio that a Firefighter earning about 32k was complaining that he couldn't make ends meet and had to resort going to a good bank.

A conservative MP, who apparently claimed 245k for expenses last year, was saying that he should budget better and he shouldn't need a food bank on that salary.

I'm with the MP on this one.

[david63]

Latest on Harry.

Having broadcast in his book that he killed 25 Taliban he may have "undermined his security and could provoke people to take revenge".

Is this the same Harry who is paranoid about his, and his family's, security? (just asking for a friend)

[screwy]

Any credible .serviceman doesn’t brag about how many of the enemy he has killed.!

And Wow. I’ve killed 25 Taliban but my brother pushed me to the ground ( after ) , what an absolute wuss.! That’s the nicest word I could think of.

I see your comment as backseat moderating….how David see’s it is another matter. The language I have used is in the public domain and is attributed to the man who said it.

Merv made a comment about your flowery language but I didn't delete your usage nor did I view his response as back seat moderation ... simply a comment of disapproval or disagreement.

Well he would understand if he believed Charles own admission, in a TV interview, that he did not break his marriage vows until the marriage was effectively over. By which time Diana had already had 2 or 3 infidelities.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Given that Harry's own parentage was at the time a matter of considerable conjecture I think his parent's marriage was dead long before he was able to comprehend anything!

[Onelife]

Moby plod,

Well, it doesn’t really matter what I think now but as I’ve got a reputation for having an answer for everything, I will just say this…Sir Merv’s comment invoked the question… what is, what isn’t acceptable on this forum, I construed this as being Backseat moderating…. With, of course a smile on my face.

I will however bow down to your adjudication and send Sir Merv a copy of “Majesty Magazine” as penance for my pushing the limits.

Not at all OL. There is nothing archaic about a life devoted to service and duty, other of course than in the minds of the selfish modern generation who devote their lives only to me me me.

Anyone joining the Royal Family need to understand it is very far from a life of privilege, princesses and unicorns. Anyone inviting someone to join has a duty to make sure they understand that.

Whoopee!! …And what do you think the reason for that could have been?

Well it could have been suggestions his father was James Hewitt. It could have been lots of things. None of us outside that marriage can actually
pass judgement on the chicken and egg argument.
