Will William Be a Popular King?

I think William will not be very well liked as king. Of course the UK press will cover for him and push him on as the well and the good, but I just think the Royals will become even less relevant with him at the helm. Social media is more powerful than the Rags so even the old PR tricks won't always be as effective in the future.

He'll get the big stuff right which will go a long way of managing the store. He's level headed and keeps his drama and tantrums behind closed doors. He knows the job and has been slowly stepping into a leadership position. So doing the job will not be an issue for William. That said, I just think the shine will really fall off during Charles and William's reigns. William's saving grace will be Kate. She'll be carrying that family on her back. Hopefully, the children don't grow up to be cunts but rich and powerful kids are always a toss up.

Warning: This thread is NOT about Harry or Meghan. Please stick to the topic at hand.

It's too early to say. If the rumours that he an affair turn out to be true, it'll significantly dent his popularity. Kate is well-liked and I think the public would side with her. I also think the popularity of the monarchy will dip once the baby boomers are gone. Time will tell.

I think with the slow decline of the Commonwealth Nations keeping them around as heads of state, they may become less relevant. William is seriously an angry man child and a bore. Nothing he says ever sounds sincere or welcoming. Just always a bad facade. At least Charles is passionate about what he's passionate about. There is a there there with the Prince of Wales, not always likable but more interesting than his son. You can tell that Charles has some ideas and passion for taking over. William looks like someone forced to hangout with someones boring old aunt whenever he's at royal engagements. Clocking down the time till he can head back to his palace or mansion in peace. Kate puts on a good show. Must be something about not growing up in the lap of luxury that makes her seem more honest in public. She and William are lazy for sure, but she is present at events while he just seems so smug and fake.

r3 Charles definitely doesn't look like he will live a long time. I think his reign will be short My own guess is that the Queen outlives her mothers age by a few years which would take her to or nearly too 104 so that us the year 2030. She likes more robust than her mother did at 95 and that's with all the extra responsibilities as Queen. I think Charles will live well into his eighties to say around 2035.

Charles is old enough now that his reign will be seen as a mere interlude.

The interesting thing about William is that he is very careful and guarded in his public persona and statements. In that sense he is very much more like The Queen than his father. And The Queen was criticised for that in the early days of her reign too. In essence, she was criticised for the very traits which she is now applauded for. I suspect William will gain the same respect as a safe pair of hands too.

It will fall to William to make the monarchy fit for a new age, but he seems level-headed enough to make a good attempt at that.

Good point r12, William will start the abdication/retirement train, made popular by other European royals sick of hearing their heirs complain about being second fiddle. They retire to some palace and enjoy being a rich fuck while their middle age child takes on the burden and boredom of the top job. It's actually a rather stable way of doing things that should have become the norm eons ago.

I agree, Will looks so over this shit and he's not even 40.

He would have been a much more popular monarch had he ascended the throne earlier.

Charles's reign will be a catastrophe and will negatively color everyone's view of the monarchy when William finally ascends to the throne.

I'm betting that William will likely preside over the "end" of the monarchy as an institutional part of UK society, holdings like Buckingham Palace will revert to government control, financial support will be phased out over time, and royal titles will continue only as long as there is an heir. Once the line ends, the title will also.

William may not be a very popular king, but I think he'll be a steady and steadfast king. Then again, I feel like Charles (my fellow Scorpio) will be a good king, too. Oddly enough, I found him at his most regal as he walked with Meghan down the aisle during H&M's wedding, and escorted Doria at the end of the ceremony. I had never thought of him as 'regal' until that moment: so much promise, only a few years ago. At least Charles and William seem to truly believe in trying to uphold HM's legacy.

I think William will be a good king, he has a real sense of duty unlike his wastrel brother. You also have to remember that when William and Kate's three kids reach young adulthood all the attention will be on them so there will be renewed interest in the Monarchy. Of course Harry and Meghan are well aware of this and they know that it's only a matter of time before they're irrelevant, once William and Kate's kids become the stars of the family.

by Anonymousreply 27April 21, 2021 3:36 AM

I think William will do fine. Charles is the problem. William is Diana's son, has her charisma and, unlike Harry, looks like her. In addition, he seems to be very intelligent and empathetic. His involvement in environmental activism will become increasingly important.

Kate makes a perfect consort. They're not hysterical attention whores like the Harkles and won't wear out their welcome. And the rumor William was having an affair came directly from Meghan's insane harpy horde.

They seem to think Harry and the Meghan can out-maneuver the Royal family and they'll be King and Queen, ruling from Montecito. They're nothing if not stupid.

William will be a stable and respected King and do just fine in the job. Nobody wants the man on the throne to be warm and fluffy or to have rock-star charisma. His job is to shut up, act as head of state, and look great on the money. William will do all of those things, ably supported by Kate, who seems more regal by the day.

The real disaster for the monarchy is a selfish, immature monarch who wants to do only what THEY want to do and fuck the rules, the expectations, or other people's feelings. Edward VIII was that sort of king and ruined himself within a year. If Harry had been born first, he'd have been just as much of a disaster. it's lucky William was born first.

I agree that William will probably retire and let George have it rather than serving until death. That sort of mindset will end with Charles.

Prince Charles I actually care about for some reason.

Prince William never seemed to show he went out of his way to give a damn about others. Never have heard him be impressed with something someone is doing or look like he really cared about a cause.

He stays on script, hits the marks but he doesn't seem as passionate as Charles.

by Anonymousreply 38April 21, 2021 4:10 AM

I suppose William be fine. But he lacks charm and charisma. He doesn't seem particularly engaging or appealing. I don't want him to have celebrity charisma. I realize he must be dispassionate about most things. However, William comes across as lacking a soul. He's a shell, an empty vessel. His actions will be to preserve the monarchy, but not to care about much more. William just seems like a mean hard ass, bully and a bore. Even Kate in her silence has a little pizzazz to her.

But likewise, we have gotten to see a fair amount of Harry's personality in the past year. He lacks charm and charisma too. He lacks character. He's petulant. He's a jerk and has a mean streak. He's a liar . And he forever looks pissed off at the world despite everything in life being handed to him on silver platter. Diana had charm and charisma beyond words and had a great sense of duty. Her boys--and Charles' boys as well --don't seem to have great personalities.

by Anonymousreply 39April 21, 2021 4:24 AM

Yes, exactly. Lacking a soul. Perhaps that's what Harry meant by him being trapped. Charles was trapped by not being allowed to marry Camilla.

It actually sounds really awful sometimes. The whole world watches you succeed but they also watch you fall. When you seek a little solace in others they tell you to get it from the palace. Yeah, take comfort in the arms of Andrew and Fergie. Did they ever give hugs?

I think what people are seeing as coldness or lack of soul is ruthlessly policed self-possession. Early in his public career, William cultivated a studied distance in his interactions with the press and public. Some of this may be temperament, but a lot of it is probably his experiences as a boy and young man, particularly his parents' wars in the press and his mother's death.

He ruthlessly protects his real self so that it doesn't get picked over by the press. He gives the world just enough of a glimpse of his family--the occasional photos--to keep the worst of the photographers off their backs. The press gets what he is willing to give, and not a drop more.

His demeanor contrasts really interestingly with Harry's wounded, enraged, astonishing lack of discretion and self-control. This whole Harry situation must be a nightmare for William, losing the one person who really understood what it was like to be Diana's son, one of the only people the future king probably trusted. Even if Harry divorces Meghan and comes back to the UK, you know the brothers' relationship won't ever be the same.

QE was 27 when she became queen. That's a huge advantage to be seen (literally) as a young sovereign. Even as she aged, people still remembered her being young with the crown. There are photos of her as a young sovereign.

Charles longevity is a wild card. He's been looking horrible for some time now. I don't see anything charming about him at all. JMO.

Over the past ten years, Kate has slowly become more popular. IMO, her popularity will eclipse's William's. William does seem to have an angry edge. I hope he doesn't get all jealous of Kate (like how Charles got all jealous of Diana's popularity).

William has had and will have mistresses. It just needs to be hidden.

He will greatly benefit from being crowned right after his grandmother but I think Charles will get his 5 minutes in the big chair. Charles is an old man, I doubt he can cause much harm to the monarchy. If he is a disaster then it’s to William’s benefit. But I’m glad others can have a largely Meghan and Harry free conversation about the BRF on DL!

I’m also glad others can acknowledge the simmering rage that seems to lurk under William’s facade. I know many think that it’s nice that he’s cold as ice like his great-great grandparents or royals of the past. Being isolating and cold is not going to work moving forward. This is why other royal houses have such a more relaxed atmosphere than the Brits. Along with a slimmed down monarchy. It’s clear as day that that’s the pathway to survival. People want a warm, harmless to look towards. Not assholes. This stiff upper lip thing is also slipping. Every day Brits seem to act more like Americans. Whipped into media frenzies. Vote for conservative idiots. Emotional. Racist. Losing their footing in the world.

I think everything rests on Charles. Will he outlive his mother, will he have a long or short reign, will there be a regency for out of sorts Charles in 20 years? Will Kate eat a sandwich (I’m joking she will never eat)? What will Queen Camilla get up to?

Whatever he does, Will better keep Kate close. Not that anything can keep her from the consorts’ jewels.

Charles genuinely likes Camilla, she's your typical horsey aristocratic wife, with that peculiar kind of earthiness that some women like her adopted in the 60s and 70s, thinking it made them more modern. She doesn't care enough about much of anything to make a fuss, and a lot of straight men want that in a wife.

He does indeed complain when he has very little (if anything) to complain about and as we've seen recently, he loves to run away or avoid an issue rather than solving it, and being married to a woman who spends her days thinking about gin and tiaras helps him remain a petulant little manchild.

I said in another thread that women are simply more interesting as modern monarchs. Take the funeral for example. Kate and her photo-op (she personally knows the photographer and they planned for this gorgeous shot) gave the people a look and feeling for the moment. It has style, drama, and beauty. Something no male, beyond the future Queen George, will be able to portray in a boring old suit. Queens wear crowns and tiaras which make every banquet all the more interesting.

So Kate will be the power in their marriage. William will be the boring stiff, much like George VI and the Queen Mum, minus a Wold War to boost their popularity.

Once again, love her or hate her, that's a damn good photo. She and her team know what they are doing. William was lucky to find her.

The issues of the moment are climate and species extinction. William’s reign will coincide with environmental disaster, which he is passionate about, and thank god. I despise Harry at this point, but I am so disappointed that he seems to have more or less abandoned his work on behalf of endangered species. Doing random shit with MM will never ever have the impact it would have had if Harry had stayed a real prince. There are life and death issues at play here.

r50 She was 25 not 27. She was born April 1926, her father died February 1952 That is the point she became Queen on the throne and why the jubilee celebrations are next year 70 years on. 1953 is the year she was coronated which is different to when she became Queen.

I think a missing component in this discussion is what kind of shape will the UK be in 10-15 years from now? How will they rebound from the pandemic & remake themselves after Brexit? If the country is in some kind of recession, it seems logical that they'll have less patience for the BRF, no matter how lovely they are (or aren't). People with fond memories of the BRF will be dying off with a new generation that views them in a different coming to power. Those factors - as much as the kind of guy William is (I think he tries to be what people want him to be) factor into how the BRF persists into the next generation

Harry was a big game hunter. His concerns are phony. His only real concern is living the life of a billionaire. That's why the marriage won't last and he'll have to go back to the royal family.

William was always shy and reserved he hates the public and I think it causes him anxiety.

His upbringing and mother’s death deeply affected him but on the flip side he seems to understand what is expected of him and he is doing a fine job so far.

At times he looks like he is angry but I think that is just his facade to hide his true feelings. The large jaw doesn’t help.

I am sure William must resent his carefree brother’s lifestyle knowing that he cannot just do what he wants and instead must do what is expected of a future king.

Yes, Meghan Markle earned her money. She did diet, excercise, proper makeup, hair, wardrobe, nails, and is well spoken and can read her lines.

She was able to get Trevor to marry her. Shrewed and smart. There are other wives of celebrities that want to be famous and can't. Kelsey Grammer's real housewife ex.

There are tons of beautiful girls out there but they haven't climbed up like Meghan did. They work for Heidi Fleiss or are fat and bitter like Samantha Markle.

It's really hard to estimate how popular he will be once he ascends to the throne. His and Catherine's popularity has received a boost by Megxit and that ill-considered interview. I think that a substantial amount of the approval and good will they receive from the public is a halo effect from having three very cute, photogenic children and appearing to be good, nurturing parents. The latter resonates with almost everyone. Who knows how this will unfold once the kids become teens and likely will create a little havoc. Probably not on a Harry scale, but teens, you know?

Another thing is how people react to the pared down monarchy. Not the part about limiting working royals to the immediate family, but the inevitable dumping of a large number of patronages and charities if the remaining senior royals don't start taking on A LOT more engagements that's going to lead to a lot of grumbling and resentment. If they start working like Anne, I can see popularity remaining.

William understands his role. He will do what he needs to in order to protect his family and the Constitutional Monarchy. Harry has never wanted to be a part of it. It's a shame he felt the need to try to tear it down simply because he didn't want to be part of it. Forgiveness has nothing to do one way or another with what needs to happen.

by Anonymousreply 217April 24, 2021 12:00 AM

I don't think Harry never wanted to be part of the constitutional monarchy/royal family. On the contrary, I think he was very settled in it and never reflected on what it meant. He seems to have been very spoilt and overly indulged. He had all the lordliness without any of the responsibility. He seems to be shocked at the idea that he can't simply do whatever he wants and there are limits to his privilege. He never understood that there's a trade-off for his position, in that he has to serve the public in return. Of course, if he really felt that wasn't for him, he could have stepped back and led a less high-profile life and done his own thing with the occasional public role. But, what Harry wanted was for everyone to still think of him as the cute, fun, cool, young prince and to be a part-time royal/part-time Hollywood celebrity.

Because she can get off it in her 60s and retire. He can't. His life will ramp right up in his 60s with the nightmare of being king and all the associated work and tedium, plus the expectation to live in ugly, draughty palaces like Windsor and Balnoral. William would love a house like the Montecito one.. Both he and Kate are hoes for warm climates. I remember when they ditched six month old William and went to the Maldives for two weeks.

Would it be a foregone conclusion that she and her obviously gay husband Marques Cholmodelay wanted a mutually satisfiable and discreet relationship, only to be upturned by crazy Meghan activities in the Cotswalds that caught Giles Coren's eye?

Wouldn't it be weird & funny if the Cholmodelays opened up and owned their respective sexualities?

Kate has many admirable qualities and she hasn't put a foot wrong. But I think few would disagree that she would be unlikely to keep a man sexually enthralled over 20 years. It is probable PW has had a number of dalliances and possibly affairs which Kate may or may not have known about. But Rose Hanbury was her friend, and part of the same small social circle, and understandably that was a bridge too far for Kate. No one likes to be ridiculed or pitied, and Kate's position among the aristos has always been shaky.

Harry and Meghan don't want to do the hard work of producing content for Spotify or Netflix. They want what they've always wanted: The glow of royalty and the perks of worldwide fame without doing anything to earn it. Even the schedule of a senior working royal, where nearly everything is done for them except showing up and listening, was beyond them.

That's why Harry talked angrily about getting cut off financially in the Oprah interview; that's why Meghan was visibly enraged over Archie being denied a title. They want continuing fame, status, and riches without doing any work. In that, they fundamentally misunderstand LA: It's a company town where successful people work their butts off to get and keep what they have.

MeAgain not only has delusions about politics, she does not seem to "see" herself in the mirror. She should have hired a Suits stylist and slavishly followed their advice. Look how terrrible she looks. Beyonce is not svelt or petite but she dresses in a way that flatters her body. That said, not only was Iger taken aback, his wife, Bey and Jay Z all had 2nd hand embrassement.

At least her hair was not hanging in scraggly hanks, but the dress was not properly fitted.

And then came the quote about Meghan needing Disney more than Disney needed her and about her being a controvesial figure. And that was BEFORE the bullying investigation or Oprah or the leaks of family convos and private lunches. They have made themselves radioactive and worked HARD and consistently to do so. Baffling.

Meghan's one talent is catching and using higher-status men with connections. Now that things with Harry are starting to go sour, I'm sure she's casting an eye about for a better prospect--she'd love a major Hollywood player or a Silicon Valley billionaire. The problem is, come August she'll be 40 years old with 2 kids, and her time with the BRF was so short that she never acquired the real patina of Royalty. She hasn't shown herself to be a loyal, supportive, or discreet partner, and those are traits that most powerful men prize.

Diana she isn't, and even Diana had trouble finding suitable partners post-divorce. It's why she died in Paris with Dodi Fayed.

I wonder why people think the royal family cut ribbons. From William and Kate's Instagram page, it can be seen that their work involves the environment, the armed forces, cadet organisations, the health service, children and young people, mental health, sports as well as diplomatic representation of the country. Sure, some of it is probably boring (just as in any other job) but it's worthwhile and probably gives a lot of satisfaction for that reason.

Yes, I noticed that the BRF live lives of wealth, status, and privilege. I wish humankind could figure a way to more evenly distribute those things, but, as of yet, we haven't.

I think the BRF is deeply misperceived. I think doing what they do is damn hard work.

It may not be physically laborious, but hell, I'd take that over the mental and emotional labor it takes to appear where they must, be "on" and live under expectations and duty that nobody else has to.

I wouldn't trade my life as an anonymous, lifestyle of the poor and obscure in good standing, for any of their lives.

Whatever the truth of Meghan's personality, she made a lot of HUGE life changes in a very short period of time. She left her native country and longtime career, got married, and had a baby in less than two years' time. What's more, the job, husband, and family she was taking on would have daunted anyone. No wonder she had a meltdown.

It would have been much better if she and Harry had dated for a longer period of time: Meghan should have moved to the UK and lived with Harry for at least a year or two before getting engaged. She could have continued her acting career in the UK in the meantime. However, there WASN'T time to do that because both Meghan and Harry's biological clocks were ticking. Meghan is getting in just under the wire with this second pregnancy, and it seems she had fertility problems (a miscarriage and potentially the need for IVF treatments) leading up to it. She couldn't even freeze her eggs and use a surrogate later because of the 'heirs of the body' succession rule.

The only way for her to do it was the way she did it, but the real question is, should she have done it at all? In hindsight, probably not.

As for calling me a "Klan Granny", not that I owe you an accounting, but I have consistently pointed out that anybody who denies that a great deal of Meghan-hatred is based on bigotry and racism isn't to be taken seriously.

A substantial number of Sussex Haters are motivated by bigotry, and they will deny that till the cows come home, but they're full of shit.

R408 - she's a social climber just like your precious Kate. You have zero evidence of narcissism - she doesn't even have an Instagram. Meghan is independently wealthy whereas Kate hasn't had money of her own since she was a student. she sponged off William for ten years before marrying him. And before you start screaming about her father and first husband - even you must know that millions of actors have tried to use nepotism to get acting roles and got nowhere. Meghan's father and Trevor had zero clout with casting directors. She got Suits, Deal or No Deal and all her other parts by auditioning and being a decent actress.

Agreed - and I doubt she knows much more about the future of the monarchy than the average DLer (well, maybe a bit more); yes, kings & queens don't hold the power they once did - duh! - but clearly the monarchy has and is evolving as well. I think the future depends a lot on how the UK functions (or doesn't) in a post-Brexit world.

Hilary Mantel overthinks things. She's claiming that unless the monarchy continues as it is then it cannot survive, but, at the same time, it can't continue as it is because it's not realistic. Therefore, the royal family cannot survive.

But Charles as monarch will be different from the Queen as monarch, and William will be different too. Charles will still carry a bit of the old style, a kind of Britain that died with the empire. But William is more modern and he has a clear idea of the type of monarch he wants to be. Mantel need not worry. She said of William "I think it will be their last big era." But the royal family doesn't have to be so big. I can be something that represents Britain today, not the Britain of 80 years ago

Didn't Trump made two trips to London?During the first trip it was reported that both Charles and William refuseded to accompany the Queen to greet and receive Trump during a brief meeting that involved inspecting a line of soldiers in ceremonial dress. Remember when Trump dashed ahead of the 92 year old monarch?

The second visit was an official state visit that included a state dinner senior royals (except Harry and Meghan and maybe Andrew) are obligated to attend. I suspect Meghan would have loved to attend and wear a tiara. It would have made sense to invite the couple with the married-in American, but Meghan had made critical remarks about Trump. And whether Harry can have a polite, mature and anodyne dinner conversation is debatable.

by Anonymousreply 462May 2, 2021 8:14 PM

Yes, of course Wills & the rest of the BRF couldn't say no to Trump, particularly as the American president. The comment was just related to what Mantel said about the "end of the monarchy" and how the monarchies around the world now functions as a kind of goodwill ambassador for their countries, who lack much agency about what they can & can't do - unlike the kings & queens that Mantel writes about who were movers & shakers in their day.

So maybe she's right - the monarchy will fade away - or the UK decides that they want to keep the BRF around in support of tourism and their country's heritage

Williams are a very mixed bag. William the Conqueror was of course legendary and changed history, but conquering does involve slaughtering quite a few of your subjects so hard to say popular for him.

William II was possibly gay, so I kind of like him for that, but monks hated him and did what they could to ruin his reputation. Then he was killed in a hunting "accident" that may have been murder, so I'll say not universally popular.

William III was very popular at first, at least for Protestants, for chasing old James II out of the kingdom. But eventually settled down to be a dreary little dutchman so I don't think he ended as popular. But also possibly gay, so a few points for that. (hmmm, a pattern emerges.)

William IV, a mess, like his brother George. Largely useless. Weird sort of marriage with an actress (hmmm) and a bunch of illegitimate children with her. People were generally tired of the old fool and looking forward to Victoria by the time he died.

So there you go, Wills. Not the highest bar to overcome. Redeem the name.

I read something about William, but I haven't posted it because I can't for the life of me remember where. I seem to remember it was an excerpt from a biography about Will and Harry, idk. But it said that William has very effeminate mannerisms. If you did not him, you would think he was not only gay, but flamming, lol. This is why DL jokes (?) about little George being gay and having the first gay king and gay royal wedding .(oh, please let this happen, 😆) It is because George has taken on Williams mannerisms. Now, no way is William gay, imo, but it does make one wonder why a straight man would be so openly effeminate in private. I have known a very few straight men like that, but it is rare. I would love to know whose mannerisms William adopted/ emulated as a child/young man. It is interesting and I think lovely. They say William is great fun in private and his family adores him, but especially George who imitates everything his poppa does, mannerisms included. I would not have posted this if I did not believe the source, which I can't remember because I am like a hopeless drug addict about reading. My family used to tell me they were going to start a chapter of Readers Anonymous for me. If you Google Prince Harry nipples, gay- they have so many pictures of Harry pinching men's nipples, ect. Some think Harry is bi. Idk, I just get mean, spoiled, man-child from him. I can't picture and do not wish to see him as a sexual person. But I just see man child. Also, are there any pictures/ video of Harry bonding or holding Archie? I do not get the feeling he cares about him or ever thinks of him and spends time together with his son.

Then he knocked the little boys heads together on that walkabout - fun Harry he is not. He often seems manic and mean. Neither he nor MEMEME seem to have any bond with their own child, as is typicald of people who are narcs. Harry, joke that he is, claimed that the kid's first word was "crocodile" which some think was a coded joke, see Urban Dictionary. We saw how MeGain reacted to the kid, holding him with her wrists and reacting with anger when he babbled dada.

R482-- Just to be really clear, effeminate mannerisms have IN NO WAY means a man is gay. William has never given the first indication or hint of being gay. I just thought it was so cute that Willam is rumored to be really effeminate with his family in private and how funny and adorable it is to me that his son hero worships him and imitates him to the point of copying all of his mannerisms. I think Lois has the same closeness with Kate. Harry wasn't allowed to be alone with their children, and even more telling , William and Kate had a real problem with Harry being drunk/drugged in front of their children. So, Harry isn't even trusted to be around the Cambridge children, and never alone. Harry may not be a dark triad like his old hag, but he is very mean, selfish, jealous. With people like H&M they do not like children and children do not like them. Children steal attention from them. That is a sin in their world.

The Sussexes have been trying to set up a rival royal court since they asked for their own offices and courtiers soon after the marriage. They were firmly told no and had to share offices with the rest of the minor royals. This was one of many factors leading to the big flounce last year.

No matter how much PR they pay for, William will be King after Charles, and Kate will be Queen. No amount of PR and public tantrums will change that.

The video in R517 is quite interesting.

William in the video seems very much the same as he does now. Confident, likes to joke around, easy to smile. Harry seems very distant in the video, uncomfortable, doesn't say much, but did have a telling comment when Charles talked about a polo accident and how if he'd died, the boys would have wanted to make off with his polo ponies and Harry said "And all the rest". o_o

I remember reading not long after Diana's death that she had used William as her confidante - a role he was much too young to play. Harry was much younger and got treated like a kid but she expected William to be her friend. I figure he suffered a lot more than Harry did as she tried to tear him away from his father and it was with William that she indulged her histrionics and wanted to get revenge through him on Charles.

Harry is just plain dumb. He got sent to Eton where the fact he was so dumb would make him stand out even more. He was ripe for some pushy, smarter woman to take over his life and that's just what happened.

R533- Yes, agree. When you watched video/interviews of him, something felt disconcerting about what we were seeing and picking up on as opposed to the image/ person we were taught to understand him as. It didn't connect. The pictures of him knocking childrens heads together was sold to us as playful harmless Harry being his cheeky self, showing his ability to interact with children. The fun and loving Uncle who adores his niece and nephews and how close they are. And yet, if you really noticed you would realize that you rarely saw Harry with them and then very briefly and never alone. The children did not really seem to know him well at all. The many pictures of Harry being shockingly inappropriate with people. Pinching their nipples, grabbing a male friends crotch just before a picture was snapped. The interview of Harry the soldier crushed his image . It was clear that Harry didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground militarily. He looked at the instrument panel as if it was unfamiliar to him. Because it was. But then he stunned. He compared killing human beings gaming and remarked on how exciting and enjoyable it was. Innocent civilians. Collateral damage. It was what a psychopathic serial killer would feel about his victims. Nothing. Harry has no conscience. People are just things to him. He has no compassion, empathy. He has always abused animals. He is incapable of guilt. Harry is a fucking monster , just like his wife.

R533, the older he gets the more ludicrous that "image" becomes. Skippy, his wingman, grew up, Harry did not. He is a middle aged petulant man child.

The strategy of attempting to appeal to kids seems based in the fact that they could most relate to and be least judgmental of Haz and his 1st wife going through life like teens with oppositional defiant disorder.

Harry once had family ties and a lot of public goodwill and a pretty comfortable set up. That he seems to have placed no value on any of that or to have insight into how privileged he has been, or even enough of a sense of social norms to HIDE that he is as he is is striking. He is rumored to be unstable and we have seen him abuse polo ponies and how he treats his family. His RPOs once famously claimed it was not for them to instill a moral compass.

Some people are like that. These 2 are birds of a feather.

I have read about and studied psychopaths since 12 years of age, when I nabbed my mother's paperback book, Helter Skelter, about the Manson family and all of their crimes. They committed many, many more murders than the Sharon Tate/LoBianca slaughter. After thay book I was obsessed with figuring out what made them become so evil, so lacking of empathy and remorse. Years later I was no longer interested. Some people not only lack a drop of human compassion for others, they sadistically enjoy harming others. It gives them joy. Not all psychopaths murder, but they COULD with no remorse. Narcissistic people , we know how they are. The difference with malignant narcissism is they are also very sadistic. Trump is one. Harry and Meghan are as well . That is why she is capable of gluing a classmates eyelids with super glue while you and I would never have the heart to do something so heartless . Most people such as this do not have millions of dollars and a global platform. Titles from one of the most powerful families in the world. Imagine if Manson or Bundy had such power, riches, connections and protection. The royal family have enabled and helped create this if for no other reason than lying to us about what harry is . They lied to the world so now most people have no idea what a danger harry can be.

It's not a real business - its 'business address' is the talent management lawyer's, right down to the same firm. It seems to have been set up this year, its website reads like Rachel's writing, no establishment date but a copyright of this year, and frankly no successful business would have its CFO, CEO, and Company Secretary the same person - it's too dangerous. You usually would have the company lawyer be the Secretary anyway - it's cheap enough and means the position, which is legally-focussed, has a lawyer in it.

Holistic and "spiritual" health monitoring jumped out at me. Sounds culty. And she is the CEO, CFO and Secretary, no one else has name on it. Seems like a shell company. It claims legal services are offered but no lawyers are named.

Lady M, Commonwealth, 13 minutes ago

Rooster, William lost his mother too. Yet, Hazbeen has exploited her memory for cash, threw his family under the bus for cash, lied to the world for cash, insulted the future Queen with petty gossip, insulted two future Kings by saying they were trapped whereas he was free and has decided he would be a rebel in all this. I am not sorry for him.

It was said that he was introducing himself to people backstage at the Vax Concert as "Diana's son" - WTAF? Dude is middle aged and a father of 2 and all he can do is exploit the memory of his long dead mother? Seems twisted and creepy. Wish the Narkles would just go away.

I have it on good authority from a friend at Penguin that Harry is working on his autobiography with plenty of help from editors of course. It's provisionally titled Second Son and will be published in early December. For the first time he'll talk about the impact of Diana's death in depth and how it's affected him over the decades. There are chapters on Chelsy, on Cressida, on his military training and time in Afghanistan, on marriage to Meghan and their life in California with Archie, and on the rift with the royals.

The biography will no doubt sell well, and I'm sure he'll be able to sell the film rights for a bundle. The reality show will also be a moneymaker. If Harry has a decent financial advisor who can invest the proceeds well, he could end up quite rich from all of this.

Of course, he could have been quite well off in the UK as well, and he wouldn't have had to sell out his privacy and his family. But it's become clear that he's desperate for attention and hates his family, so for him that's a small price to pay.

He should keep in mind, though, that all the money he's making now will be split 50/50 if Meghan leaves him, and since that's likely to happen in the next 5 years, he won't be as rich as he thinks.

R586 Harry and Meghan both seem allergic to longterm planning. If they come into a major windfall, I expect it to be quickly spent.

they want to live like billionaires but they don't have the income. They'll never have the income: delusions of grandeur. They'll surround themselves with pricey publicists, consultants, lawyers, etc. to make up for the fact they're both dumb. But they think they're smart so they'll ignore the advice they get. A fool and his money are soon parted.

R586, selling out his family may even be an added payoff for him, R586. Given the past few months, it is certainly possible.

I imagine she will be looking to bounce, her options are not going to get better with age. Maybe a Russian or Saudi would have her. She could become a Muslim.

Re: DM article @ r575. It doesn't bother me if William and Harry give separate speeches and do not present a unites front. It would be grossly ingenuous to do so. I prefer them apart actually for the time being. They are very different people.and always have been.

I do wonder how a king's ransome in PR is being paid for, R589.

The UK tabloids have been brutal the past few days. I agree with the poster who said their time is about up . People in the UK not only do not care if Harry comes for the unveiling, they do not want him to. Had they not done that interview and had they shown just a drop of respect for Prince Philip, things would be different. He will eventually be taken back by his family, but he has destroyed any public support or respect forever. She will never be allowed back in trf, ever. To have had so much and throw it away all over vanity, jealousy, and vengeance is mind boggling. She should be in a lockdown mental unit. How could Harry have another child with her? He can't be so programed as to be unaware of what an unfit parent she is.

'It is just astonishing the comfort and security they gave up for this.'

You are looking at it from your perspective as an arch royalist. To you, life as a senior royal in the ultimate dream, but is it really? An apartment in ugly Kensington Palace, right next door to William? Or stuck out in Frogmore under the Heathrow flight path? Always, always being aware of your rank as the inferior 'sixth in line' and your children being made aware that they are inferior to your brother's kids? What's comfortable about that?

London is a place tourists like to tick off but I've rarely heard anybody say they'd like to retire there. Montecito is beautiful, set between the mountains and the ocean in a warm climate with barely any rain. The phrase California Dreaming exists for a reason. Nobody is dreaming about London.

Do learn to spell! And how many times are you going to make this same comment, Sunshine Sachs troll? You must have written it a thousand times over dozens of threads. They will pay their PR firm whatever monthly fee has been agreed but beyond that, nothing. These fantasies you have of Meghan paying all the tabloids and magazines to write articles about her are ludicrous. She is one of the most famous women on the planet and they'll write about her whatever.

They'll most likely end up having to split up that California dream, R594.

Had they behaved differently they might not have been out amongst the frogs.

Merching, setting up photos of the kid to release on his cousin's bday and monetizing the memory of his dead mother vs. having a provided high standard of living for llife with little work requred? Most would opt for the 2nd. But, those that are paid to normalize the unstable Harkles will continue to do so.

People are fleeing California, the population is actually decreasing. The dream is dead. The Harkles are living beyond their means. They were so crass at the Disney premier that even Iger was taken aback. Any interest in them is to poke fun, it is like watching a slow motion car crash. Most pity the children.

She is sharp as a tack; that twat didn't need to remind her it was 80 YEARS AGO! She should have him killed for that!
