The Artist Formerly Known As Prince Harry

[Lofty]

We might have had a royal thread before but the stuff coming out from his book is batshit so may aswell give him a new thread.

Possibly mistranslated from the spanish leaks but so far the highlights are:

Killed 25 in Afghan
Took cocaine
Shagged Meghan next to a box of his mum's hair and thanked it when they got pregnant
Made his chauffeur repeatedly speed through the tunnel his ma died in

Bit weird.

[Yevrah]

I did have some sympathy for him (and her) originally, but it's descended into proper tragic land stuff now.

[Offshore Toon]

The only mental thing there is the hair one.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I saw something earlier about talking to Lady Di through a medium. Why would you have that printed? Does Meghan think that the world begins and ends with California weirdos?

[Lewis]

It's all a bit stalkerish and pathetic now. The Royal Family refusing to respond to any of it must be driving them up the wall.

[Lofty]

There is also the recounting of him losing his virginity to an older woman who spanked his arse :D

[Don]

I called suicide many moons ago and I'm wanting a big payout when it pops.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Not sure about suicide, but surely divorce is odds-on, once she doesn't get whatever it is she wants.

[Lewis]

Every middle aged woman I ever heard opine on the subject had her down as a wrong'un from day one, and they all have them down to divorce somewhere along the line when he outlives his usefulness, so lock it in.

[Spikey M]

I don't know how anyone finds the energy to give a fuck about this trivial shite considering everything else we have going on. Spare me the tears of billionaires.

[Manc]

Oprah, Netflix and now a book. Can't wait for the podcast.

[Yevrah]

I don't know how anyone finds the energy to give a fuck about this trivial shite considering everything else we have going on. Spare me the tears of billionaires.

That's the point though, no? You've got two very rich people whinging about being treated unfairly by the public scrutiny and establishment, while simultaneously doing their best for stay in the public eye. One of my two best mates, who in the near 35 years I've known him would never have had this sort of thing anywhere near his radar, let alone given a shit, was asking me the other day why Meghan is so hated. I can only assume even the Guardian have started covering it.

[Kikó]

I think we all need to respect their privacy.

[Magic]

It's all a bit stalkerish and pathetic now. The Royal Family refusing to respond to any of it must be driving them up the wall.

But they are responding.

[Baz]

This reignites hope of a Meghan Markle sex tape.

[Magic]

He'll eventually reveals the serious stuff (child trafficking, paedo rings etc) as this stuff is semantics and purely laying the foundations for it.

[7om]

Any time I see Harry now he looks completely dead behind the eyes. She’ll probably coerce him into suicide or something to keep herself relevant.

[Lofty]

Apparently also shagged Caroline Flack and did magic mushies at Courtney Cox's house :D

[randomlegend]

I don't think semantics means what you think it means

[Kikó]

:D x

[Spikey M]

I don't think semantics means what you think it means

Don't be pandemic.

[Magic]

I don't think semantics means what you think it means

Well whatever the word is, unimportant waffle filling the space before the real juice.

[Don]

ITV just had an advert for an interview with him. Another one? Brah :D

[Giggles]

Are there enough royalists left that all this actually matters or is it just more celebrity culture?

[Dquincy]

I like the bit where he's either slagging off the royal family or embarrassing them, and then in the next breath telling the media that he's keen to reconcile things with them. Mentalist. :D

She is tidy, though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Are there enough royalists left that all this actually matters or is it just more celebrity culture?

It's good business. Think of all the hundreds and thousands of grifters who get paid every time Harry says William does smelly farts, or reveals that he once had a wank on the Queen's sofa while a corgi watched.

[Spikey M]

Are there enough royalists left that all this actually matters or is it just more celebrity culture?

The over 50's. Give it 30 years and they'll be completely irrelevant. Possibly sooner, actually. People loved the Queen. They're throwing eggs at Charles.

[Ben]

Spikey is right.

Also the media are absolutely loving this because they aren’t allowed to report negatively on the Royal Family usually so now Harry is an outcast they’ve got an avenue to go all in and not get rebuked. Look at the BBC quoting random ex-military figures to get across the “Royals good, Harry bad” viewpoint. They’d never play that tactic in any other situation.

[Foe]

Happy to be adopted as a replacement if it means I can shag Caroline flack too.

[Spikey M]

You'd have to dig her up first. You still wouldn't be the biggest deviant in the family though.

[Yevrah]

There seems to be this assumption that today’s youth are going to do things differently when they’re older. They won’t. The Royal family will remain relevant.

[Foe]

Eugh, and that reminder has ruined my day before 9.30. :(

I rescind my adoption offer.

[Dquincy]

Necrophilia. This has taken an interesting turn.

[Baz]

The silver lining is Maya Jama is now presenting Love Island. :chief:

[Lewis]

The monarchy/Royal Family is almost entirely a white people interest, so there is that to consider down the line.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Not when June Sarpong becomes our first elected monarch in 20 years' time.

[niko_cee]

I've always thought British Asians were bang into the monarchy.

As has been said, much like conservative politics, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The idea of an elected head of state is as anathema to the British mindset as is the notion of airing all this dirty laundry in public. From the various voxpops the news seem to roll out it appears to be playing universally badly amongst nearly all age groups bar perhaps a tiny group of the classic self-loathers who want to find reason for NATIONAL SHAME in everything. I've really no idea what he [or his people] is/are thinking.

[Yevrah]

I genuinely don’t think they could have done a better job of turning public opinion fully against them if they’d tried.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is it public opinion they're going for, or is it kudos among the batshit California super-elite.

[Spikey M]

It's just a shame the nonce wasn't next in line for the throne really. That would have generated some outstanding scenes.

[Giggles]

What’s all this bollocks crying about him wiping out 25 Afghans in a helicopter? It’s fucking war, not a game of croquet.

[Yevrah]

It’s those pesky ‘rules of war’ again Giggles.

[Spikey M]

Wot 'appens in 'stan, stays in 'stan.

[Lewis]

There is meant to be a convention that military people don't go around discussing how many people they've killed and how, but it normally goes out the window whenever one of them writes a book. I think the number sounds a bit precise and/or inflated, although I don't suppose he's doing it on purpose. I'm not sure what his point is though.

[Ian]

Torturing civilians because they're suspiciously brown is one thing but ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU KILLED THEM IN ARMED FIGHTS? Ghastly stuff, you hate to see it.

[Lofty]

My mate once divulged his tally was 'ten and a half', the half being some kid caught in the crossfire of an ambush on patrol. Probably explains why he's an alcoholic.

[Spikey M]

That is some sociopathic shit. :|

[Lofty]

I think it was more of a macho coping mechanism they had instilled in him, by all accounts he winged the kid whilst returning fire and they couldn't get to him before he bled out because they were still engaged.

[Spikey M]

Even so, counting the kid as a half seems particularly fucked up.

[Lofty]

You probably need to be a sociopath to complete three tours in the first place to be fair.

[Magic]

Surely that counts as a double kill?

[Manc]

:D

[niko_cee]

I see that dog guy has been evacuated from Kabul AGAIN. Seriously? Just leave the twat there if he's so desperate to 'save' those dogs.

[Lofty]

He has blamed Harry for this hasn't he? :D

[niko_cee]

The couple's UK popularity has also tumbled recently. After the release of their Netflix documentary last month, a YouGov poll for The Times found that 44% of Brits thought Harry and Meghan should have their titles removed, compared to 32% who said they should not.

Meanwhile, recent polling on the couple's popularity in the UK has seen them plumb new depths, with just 24% now thinking positively of Harry, compared to 68% who have a negative opinion.

This gives him the lowest ever rating on YouGov's royal favourability tracker, having dropped to -44 from -38 last week, which was a previous record low.

Among over-65s, Harry and Meghan are more disliked that Prince Andrew, while Meghan's popularity is even lower than Harry's, with just 8% of the public saying they have a positive view of her.

:happycry:

[Spikey M]

Fuck me :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

Prince Harry having a -44 approval rating would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Good marriage m8.

[Spikey M]

Being less popular than an actual nonce is incredible work. God bless the over 65s.

[Ben]

Fucking fossils dragging the country down in every aspect.

[Ian]

"He might be a paedo but at least he's not a [insert epithet of your choice here.]"

[randomlegend]

Prince Harry having a -44 approval rating would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Good marriage m8.

Maybe he based his marriage decision on who he wanted to be with rather than what it makes racist old English people think of him.

He must be really regretting that now, living a life of luxury in America and making millions off infuriating said biggots by doing shitty interviews and books. :harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's Prince Harry, living a life of luxury isn't some glorious novelty. Being liked is what he wants.

[Spikey M]

A true rags to riches story.

Edit: damn it Jimmy.

[Giggles]

Who is advising them and how did they ever think someone with brown in them would be favourable to brexit Britain.

[Spikey M]

I think the race thing is a bit of a red herring. Some people will take issue with her being mixed race, but I think for most people it's more to do with her being a Yank. A loud opinionated Yank at that.

[Boydy]

We don't hear that much directly from her though, do we? It's mostly him. And if it is her, he's with her.

[Spikey M]

We don't hear that much directly from her though, do we? It's mostly him. And if it is her, he's with her.

I think it's perceived as her being the puppet master.

I don't know, I'm trying to intuit the thoughts of people that I am lucky enough not to know many of. It just strikes me that they like the whole reserved, stiff upper lip, Royal thing and by acknowledging mental health, racism and other "WOKE NONSENSE!!!!111" she (and he) are being very un-royal.

[Boydy]

Yeah, it's probably a long those lines. With a dash of racism mixed in too.

Still, whom amongst us wouldn't be her puppet for a sniff of that coochie?

[niko_cee]

I don't really get the Meghan stuff in terms of her being some great siren. She's obviously attractive [kind of goes with the Hollywood starlet territory] but the way some people go on it's as if she's some sort of beauty of the age Cleopatra type figure.

[phonics]

Have you seen Cleopatra? Absolute dog.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, but the Egyptians liked that sort of thing.

"No no, I told you to get me a new bish"

I don't think Cleopatra had as good a set of hammers.

Didn't even have the best tits on that show.
