...Lol.

You're very protective of Harry, is he off limits? God forbid we criticise an extremely wealthy man living out domestic issues of his own making

Think Willy is wrong there, I know he hurt him badly but in view of his fathers health he should at least superfically try and make it look like its working

easier said than done. I can't imagine the effect of having to keep silent while your brother slags you off in the press on a daily basis. That is going to generate a lot of ill feeling

If Harry really cares about his father and wants to reconcile with his family due to his fathers health, then a public apology for all the anguish and all the insults he has thrown at them is the way forward. The disloyalty and betrayal of their trust he has put the family ‘he loves’ through in the last four years for financial gain is despicable...and the worst of it came when Philip and the Queen were dying.
It’s not up to William, (who has not uttered a word of criticism against Harry in return) to make it right, for the sake of his father. It’s up to Harry. The ball is in his court.

Well on the other hand when his grandfather and grandmother were in ill health, Harry continued to put the knife in. Probably that is why William stands firm along with the personal attacks on him and his wife.
I dont suppose William has a problem with his father and Harry reconciling but to take on a Royal role now after all he has done is understandably out of the question....and I dont know that it would be a good move bearing in mind Harry and Meghan have very little respect from the GBP.

William is there to cover for the king and Anne is there as well.
There's no need for Harry to cover.
If the king isn't able to return then William is next in line.

…unless I’m missing something, Harry hasn’t stated that he would take on any temporary working role again…he responded to a question in an interview which was regarding illness within a family/or within some families having a unifying impact, which he agreed with and that may be something that applies within the royals …but did he say that he would consider a working role temporarily…it feels as though the tabloid media have their own conversations which they initiate and invent as ‘possibilities’ or hypothesis, just so that they can manufacture their headlines….HE MAY COME BACK…!!!!!!!…Who, Harry…???????….OMG, No, he’s not wanted back…someone think of WILLiAM and Kate and Charles and Camilla and etc, etc etc….i wouldn’t say there is any staff shortages in the royal firm that aren’t being very well adapted to and accounted for…

The old man is of no use to them, of course, no titles, no influence, no money.

The same Thomas Markle that faked heart attack?

It’s weird how you refuse to see any wrong in Thomas for selling out his daughter in the press but by your own logic with Harry and Meghan doing the same, it’s despicable?

Yes, he did.
“harry has offered his assistance 'on a temporary basis' to help whilst his dad recovers”.

It was an exclusive by the TIMES that reported this, not tabloid gossip.

As the Palace has responded with a resounding NO, when they rarely respond to tabloid headlines, we can safely assume it is legitimate.

That’s the problem here. The haters get riled up by the press and believe everything they read as fact and make up scenarios in their heads and present them as fact. At this point I wonder why anyone with a brain cell even bothers to read tabloids. But they do to feed their incessant hatred.

I’ve responded to variations of this from you more times that I care to remember and I’m not wasting my time doing it again.

I guess he faked a stroke as well... what a claim

I just find it in equal parts depressing and amusing that people who pretend to have "deep love and respect" for the Royal Family couldn't give two hoots about the King having cancer other than in using it as a new stick to beat his son with (because they happen not to be fans of that particular celebrity). Hilarious, toxic, and yet simultaneously so utterly banal.

Do people really believe these stories ? surely not, The media are notorious for exaggerating things and I for one don't believe in anything they print,its all for sales and gossip.

…exaggerating and initiating and fabricating I feel, Kaz…I would imagine that it’s a very healthy income for many, many people…and the neverending story of distraction of modern times…

…on a slight tangent, I watched the little interview or chat, whatever we call it with Harry and hadn’t realised that the person he was talking with was Will Reeve, the son of the late Christopher Reeve…❤️…so I found that really interesting ….

The press tell lies but it’s the words that have come from Harry and Meghan’s own mouths that people have judged them by.

Example, comparing a taxi ride to the night Diana was killed

They are not trustworthy

Well, exactly Sheriff….and I have never seen any of Harry and Megsies admirers complaining about how they lie, exaggerate, initiate and fabricate stories to make a healthy income from Harry’s own family.
You couldn’t make it up.

It’s all very nice ammi but the simple truth is that it’s been harry and Meghan that have attacked the royal family again and again

They didn’t stop when the Duke of Edinburgh got ill and died they didn’t stop when the queen got ill and died

I liked Harry and wanted him to be happy and find happiness like his brother had with Kate and was pleased when Meghan came along

But they are a pair of two faced bastards that will never be trusted

[Glenn.]

You only have to read some of the posts in this thread to se that it’s just not that serious. It’s honestly unhinged

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding…..

You see Harry and Meghan as on a par behaviour - wise with William, Kate and Charles?
…..and your focus on the media.....? It wasn’t the media who divided the family, it was Harry and Meghan. Do you think they didn’t know the media frenzy they would induce when they did the Oprah interview when Philip lay dying? Did they care? Do you think they didn’t know the media frenzy they would induce when SPARE was published with the many publicity interviews to boot while the family was freshly grieving the loss of a beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, the Queen? Did they care?
As for Harry’s dramatic dash to his fathers side when he learned of his illness, how did the press know he was due to arrive or even that he was there? They didn’t know he was in the UK for a court case until they gleefully papped him arriving at the front entrance with a fanfare of 3 backup SUVS while other celebs involved in the case discreetly slipped in a side door.
The media do what the media do, as H&M well know, but all along they have courted media attention with one controversial or nonsensical action after another (example: car chase anyone?) while cynically railing against the press for doing exactly what they encourage them to do.

They wanted out of the Royal goldfish bowl - fine- who could blame them for that. They could have gone off respectfully and lived lives of usefulness and dignity (with the contentment that would bring).
They didn’t….and being perpetual victims they blame everyone but themselves for even the words and the hypocrisy that come out of their own mouths….it’s the awful media’s fault….lets focus on them…..

I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone, but we all know that if you are going to get something like that, the royal family will get the best possible treatment available. Compare that to normal folks who have to play the NHS lottery.

William will be able to stand in for all the top priority royal engagements if necessary, anything else isn't important.

People really need to get a grip on reality
