Dear, Fragile Prince Harry

[Paigntonian]

Says the British tabloids 'destroyed' his mental health. Doesn't mention the wife. Ergo he was, or is, mentally ill.

[elliemay1]

Well stated Andy!

[andy-hughes]

Thank you ellie.

I do feel sorry for the couple, the dreadful Catch 22 situation must be hard to live with - in order to convince the public of what they are really like, they must continually offer evidence, albeit unknowngly, that they are exactly the whining privelidged 'poor me' rich kids that their detractors think they are.

I think they need a lesson for Victoria Beckham - she once said that if her public profile was actually her, she wouldn't like herself either, she just knows that it is not, and doesn;t bother trying to convince other people who don't matter anyway.

When was the last time the Beckhams were interviewed?

That's the lesson, right there. Know you can't win. Stop trying.

[andy-hughes]

That's a lesson FROM Victoria Beckham - she has learned what that sort of fame is like, and how to simply live with it.

[tiggerblue10]

Totally agree with you, A-H. They can't do right for doing wrong and feel forced to justify their actions.

Paigntonian, How can you call someone who did two tours of duty in Afghanistan fragile? As someone said earlier a nasty post.

[tamborine]

"....1st time he's been on a bus..." He boarded at Eton College, where buses are hired for pupils away sports, or did he use granny's horse drawn coach? Gervais was educated in Slough (1mile from Eton) they have Slough in common. Harry offends me for calling my niece & gf SLAGS while following them in Eton High Street. He now knows what a slag is!

[andy-hughes]

Tambo, why do complete strangers vex you so much?

[tamborine]

Anyone who slags off my kith & kin vex me, especially when I cant retaliate. Am sure you would feel same for your family. My niece was 13y then.

[brainiac]

He didn't say he'd never been on a bus, he said he'd never been on an open-top bus, as it was deemed too dangerous.

[bednobs]

i believe he said it's the first time he's been on an open top bus (because of security)

Harry wanted to play the hero prince in Afghanistan, just for 10 weeks against the advice of military advisers. How many men had to put their lives at risk to protect him while he was there?

Gulliver//How many men had to put their lives at risk to protect him while he was there?//
None.Two tours adds up to more then ten weeks. Probably a waste of time asking but have you a link?

[Spicerack]

Can't help noticing that some of the people clutching at their pearls and reaching for the smelling salts on this thread are the very same people who were metaphorically dancing on the grave of a man who died the day before. 10 days is a long time in ABland.

[Spicerack]

But he deserved it, he was a racist, insisted the usual AB experts.

[Stickybottle]

Nothing like kicking a man when he’s standing up for what he believes in and who also had the courage to go to Afghanistan of his own volition twice eh?
On the very same day a famous ex Serviceman and hero is buried somebody has to have a dig at the fella who brought about the fabulous Invictus games
So many brave keyboard warriors about these days

Harry wanted to see active service and the Riyal family met with the media who brokered a news blackout while he served but good of you to join up and take his place , not

[dannyk13]

SR @ 13.58, Is this on the correct thread?

[Spicerack]

Don't worry about it, danny. I can't make what I've said any clearer.
Are you honestly confused?

[dannyk13]

Yes, what has Limbaugh got to do with Prince Harry?

[Sqad]

A true British Royal would have married a "suitable" and highborne lady and had a mistress for sexual and to a less extent emotional needs.
Harry should have married into Royalty and kept Megan as his mistress and that way he would have kept the trappings of a Prince and the convenience of a suitable sexual partner .
In 5 years time, it is likely that he will have neither and has put all his money on one horse.....a big mistake methinks.
