Prince Harry

Post by fanzone » Thu Oct 27, 2022 9:34 pm

Is he going to be the beginning of the end of the Monarchy as we know it?

Long live the King.
The monarchy will never concede to all the anti royals.

Nah, he's just a grifter now, trying to bring in money to maintain a lifestyle and to keep himself relevant.

The monarchy changed for the better after the death of his mother, and it will probably change again with his dad as king because Charles has been talking about slimming down the monarchy for a while now.

These changes will happen in spite of Harry's book(s?) not because of it.

Almost the dictionary definition of the work of a king. Did Alexander conquer Western Asia because he enjoyed the hiking?

No but when Alexander of Macedonia was 33 he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer ... 😉 to paraphrase Sid Waddell

I'm not sure the timing of this book launch could ever be right, but the 10th January, when people are feeling the pinch after splashing out for Christmas, their Gas/Electric D/D's having nearly trebled and Mortgage payments increasing ... really ?

The " woe is me " scribblings of an incredibly privileged man, direct from his 11 Bedroom mansion behind gated walls in an exclusive California enclave, will probably go down like the proverbial " fart in a space-suit " ...

You can look in to it if you want. The dates when Diana and Hewitt knocked about dont add up with Harry's birth at all and the main reason people get duped into this notion is because they think Harry looks a lot more like Hewitt than Charles. Get a picture of the Duke of Edinburgh in his youth and you can see Harry is the spitting image of him, much more so than he is of Hewitt,

Anyhow if you wanna believe this kind of rubbish be my guest cos it really doesnt matter anyway

He wanted to go into India, actually, but his generals wanted to go home, and he basically got the gist that if he tried forcing the issue, they'd murder him to death.

In Britain perhaps, but for the bulk of the rest of the world quite the opposite. Certainly in the US....
- he married an American, so he's "one of us" now
- he lives here because he cannot live there, meaning the US is more tolerant, and he's the victim of the establishment
- the country was formed literally to self-govern rather than be governed by royalty
- he's making his life without the privileges
- it's gossip

Best seller from day 1

Book will get slaughtered in the UK but (as already mentioned above) will probably sell well abroad- especially USA.

If there's anything too controversial in it (and there probably will be) - hopefully that will spur Charles III on to take away the titles of the grifter couple and threaten them with a spell in the tower should they set foot in Blighty ever again.

One of the Saxe-Coberg family (maybe) marries an actress and shares a Memoir age 38. It deserves a massive Yawn.

The plebs and serfs will always lap this sort of slop up.

Brainless tripe for those flapping around at the bottom of the gene pool will always be piled high just inside Waterstones front door. I just hope the title is in really big letters for them.

The royal family changed their name to Windsor over 100 years ago. I think you've been suckered in by the "England for the English" anti-immigration types who refuse to accept that foreigners, however distant their ancestry, can ever be truly considered British.

Careful, DA.

This kind of sensible post isn’t your modus operandi whatsoever.

Correct as you are, although it’s not the paternal line, people might also want to compare Harry to Diana’s brother to see the source of his ginger hair.

It’s hardly surprising that Prince Henry is a little odd given all that happened with his mother but I don’t know why his wife has such a chip on her shoulder.
