The media really have it in for them.
Possibly because he has stood up to their bullshit.

The Media do love to incite the situation though.

I mean why does the Media care so much about Harry's relationship with certain members within the Royal Family, when it's to do with Charles having Cancer? Shouldn't the focus therefore be on our King currently dying?

…yeah, that was very much the vein of Will Reeves’s conversation with Harry, the bit that I saw and a focus on a family unification against cancer/illness because that’s the enemy being fought….I agree with Smudgie, though…Harry and the media have always had a very difficult relationship and he’s been very open about his contempt for them…as they are for him, it’s a mutual loathing, I would say…

This is why we shouldn’t take anything ( normally negative) we see in the media slaughtering Harry seriously

Prince William condemns rise in antisemitism during synagogue visit.


The Prince of Wales said it "has no place in society" as he met young people and students in London.
He was told about an increase in antisemitism since the 7 October Hamas attacks and Israel's retaliatory military campaign in Gaza.
It was the prince's first public appearance since pulling out of a memorial service due to a "personal matter".
He had been due to give a reading at Tuesday's memorial for the late former King Constantine of Greece.
While at the Western Marble Arch Synagogue in central London, the 41-year-old met a Holocaust survivor, and Jewish student representatives and young people who told him how they had been affected by antisemitism.
The prince was told of its "dehumanising" effect and said he wanted to "reassure you all that people do care".
Edward Isaacs, the head of the Union of Jewish Students UK and Ireland, told Prince William about "an explosion of antisemitism on campus that we've never seen before……..

Lady Gabriella Windsor’s husband Thomas Kingston died from ‘catastrophic’ head wound, inquest hears…

Thomas Kingston, the husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor, was found dead at his parents’ home with a “catastrophic head injury” and a gun close to his body, a coroner has said.

Kingston, 45, died at the property in a Cotswold village on Sunday.

Katy Skerrett, the senior coroner for Gloucestershire, said the financier, who was the son-in-law of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, had lunch with his parents before his body was found in an outbuilding.

She said a post-mortem had been undertaken and that a provisional cause of death had been given as a “traumatic wound to head”.

As she opened an inquest into Kingston’s death, Ms Skerrett said she had been given evidence of the brief circumstances surrounding “this tragic incident”.

She said: “Mr Kingston was visiting his parents home in the Cotswolds on 25 February. He ate lunch with his parents.

“His father went out to walk the dogs. On his return, Mr Kingston was not in the house. After approximately 30 minutes, his mother went to look for him.

“His father forced entry into an outbuilding when he couldn’t gain entry. Mr Kingston was found inside with a catastrophic head injury. A gun was present at the scene.

Emergency services were called. Police are satisfied the death is not suspicious.”

The hearing, at Gloucestershire Coroner’s Court, lasted less than minutes. Several journalists and a Buckingham Palace representative were present but no family members.

Kingston once worked as a hostage negotiator in Iraq. Known as Tom, he read economic history at the University of Bristol before joining the diplomatic missions unit at the Foreign Office.

He was seconded to Baghdad as project manager for the International Centre for Reconciliation, based at Coventry Cathedral, in 2003. The following year, he cheated death in a suicide bombing in the Iraqi capital that killed 22 people.

Rev Canon Andrew White, then the vicar of St George’s Church, the only Anglican church in Iraq, worked closely with him.

He described him as a fearless and very committed Christian, telling The Telegraph: “I loved him so much. The thing about Tom was he was never scared. Whatever I asked him to do, he would do it with a big smile on his face in the middle of a war zone.”

Kingston returned to the UK to work for Schroders, the global asset management firm, as an equity analyst before becoming the managing director of Voltan Capital Management and later a director of Devonport Capital, which provides short-term loans to businesses operating in the developing world.

His father was a hugely successful barrister, specialising in planning law. Also a devout Christian, he was elected to the General Synod in 2016. His mother, Jill, is a trustee of a Christian healing centre and runs the Nadezhda Charitable Trust, which supports projects in Zimbabwe.

Kingston was introduced to his royal bride by mutual friends and proposed on the car-free Channel Island of Sark, where his parents have a holiday home.

Lady Gabriella’s father, Prince Michael, is Elizabeth II’s first cousin and a grandson of George V. The couple married at St George’s Chapel Windsor in May 2019, in a lavish ceremony attended by an array of senior royals including the late Queen and Prince Philip.

The couple were said to have been happily married to the end and were most recently pictured together, beaming for the camera, on Valentine’s Day.

Buckingham Palace announced Kingston’s death on Tuesday evening. Lady Gabriella, paid tribute to her husband, describing him as “an exceptional man who lit up the lives of all who knew him.” She said his death had come as a “great shock to the whole family.”

Buckingham Palace said the King and Queen joined Prince and Princess Michael of Kent and all those who knew Kingston in grieving “a much-loved member of the family”.

A spokesman said: “In particular, Their Majesties send their most heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gabriella and all the Kingston family.”

Very sad, but that age group of men are very high on the lists for suicide

The King is hoping to step out in public next Sunday to lead a reduced royal contingent at the traditional Easter Matins service.

Charles, 75, accompanied by the Queen, will attend the annual service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor, if his health allows.

The King has stepped back from public duties on medical advice as he undergoes cancer treatment, to avoid the risks associated with large crowds.

The royal turnout on Easter Sunday will therefore be considerably smaller than usual to minimise his contact with others, an outing dubbed “Easter Lite”.

“The King and Queen are hoping to attend some form of Easter service in Windsor,” a palace source confirmed. “However, it will not be the large family gathering that we might expect to see in different circumstances.”

Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children will not attend.

Yes, I was listening to something yesterday where someone said that over the course of his life, he was a lot more like his mother than maybe he had even thought. I agree, especially seeing him now. On the bright side, Will will have a lot of practice before he takes the reigns between both caring for his wife (its own adversity) and dealing with his father's illness as a next-in-line working member of the RF. And he'll have another example, more footsteps, etc to follow in...
