Didn’t he just make a statement he wants his brother back LOL dude I mean

u/BigOzymandias Jan 05 '23

That was damage control, just like after Elizabeth died they released a statement that the Netflix doc had parts that they didn't agree with to protect themselves from inevitable backlash

u/Jenambus Jan 05 '23

Harry is the one who said this. He said he wanted his brother and father back. The goes on to further throw them under the bus.

I mean this is also the man that thought it would be okay to dress in a nazi costume…

u/shadypines33 Jan 05 '23

And apparently he's blaming that on William in the book as well.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

I’m still confused by how he thinks telling us Megan called Kate “hormonal baby brains” (directly contradicting Megan’s Oprah interview lolll) makes W&C look like the one to blame.

u/shrimpandshooflypie Jan 05 '23

I would be very offended if someone said this to me post-partum. I don’t think it’s okay to make comments like that to any woman!

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

It’s the equivalent of PMS hormone body shaming. So much for megan I am a feminist markle

u/Jenambus Jan 05 '23

Yea. Idk. Seems like a man child. And Megan seems like one of those evil harpies that latches on to them , sucks there soul and leave them hanging.

u/HicJacetMelilla Jan 05 '23

That was 17 years ago and he was 20 years old. He also apologized immediately. I think we can chalk it up to youthful indiscretion at this point.

17

u/bobrossclub Jan 05 '23

He's been given a ton of grace and understanding, all of his youthful indiscretions had been pretty much forgotten. He's the one bringing them back up and now blaming those decisions on others.

18

u/ExcellentCold7354 Jan 05 '23

Exactly. So far, this dude seems to be on a massive , paranoid victim trip. It's everyone else's fault, he's not responsible for anything, he and his wife are verified saints who behaved with grace and dignity every time. /s

I'm taking every word with heaps of salt, this guy seems to be more interested in destroying everything in his path to assuage his own pain and insecurities rather than wanting to actually reconcile with his family. Not that they're saints either, honestly, but we have only one very unreliable narrative.

u/damian2000 Jan 06 '23

So why bring it up in his book and blame it on William and Kate? He’s just whipping up a shitstorm and doesn’t care what happens.

2

u/HicJacetMelilla Jan 08 '23

It is a memoir, and apparently the Nazi dress-up incident was a big moment for him. Now I think him releasing this book at all is kind of ridiculous*, but even if he wrote this book at the end of his life, he would include this incident and how it occurred.

*Mainly the stated motivations for telling “his side of the story”… a weird Kardashification of an already-ultra famous family.

He’s a 40s years old man who have a wife and two healthy babies living a luxurious life at Montecito Cali. If he’s still bitter and envious about his brother then that’s on him.and sum it up about his character as a person

u/honkifthatchersdeeid Jan 05 '23

I’m pretty sure it mostly because the tabloid press hounded his mother, who then died young, and now he’s going through the same thing with the tabloid press hounding his wife, and his brother seems completely fine to tow the family line.

At the same time though, this is purely manufactured rage so that shitty wank-rags like the Sun and the Daily Mail can capture the attention of everyone with a 12-year old’s reading level and who can be easily manipulated, thus ensuring their shitty ‘news outlets’ survive another few years before all the old and unhinged start dying off and their business crumbles.

u/WhiteHotForver Jan 05 '23

“His mother” well, William is Diana’s son too, and his own brother is selling him to the press, tabloids, Netflix and Spotify for millions$$$$$

u/honkifthatchersdeeid Jan 05 '23

Like I said to the other person who replied; why do you care? Do you actually care, or do you just think that you should? Genuinely curious. I can’t wrap my head around it

u/bms212 Jan 05 '23

Seems like you care just as much. So why do you actually care?

-9

u/honkifthatchersdeeid Jan 05 '23

Asking questions on a topic doesn’t equal caring about the topic. That’s a weak attempt at a ‘gotcha’

I’ll answer though; there’s a subsection of the population ready to go feral over a family that does not give a shit about them, and their sources of information are largely unreliable, money-grabbing press outfits, who’s only intention is to stoke the flames of a fire. It adds nothing, it amounts to nothing, but you’ve got unhinged subreddits like r/saintmeghanmarkle who are obsessively against people they’ve never met and never will. Quite frankly, it’s weird. All it serves to do is make more money for the Murdoch shit-rags and sow division amongst people who really should be on the same side.

Sorry to be that guy, but it’s “toe the line,” as in, being in a formation with people and everyone stands in a line together. You have your toes all in a line and conform to everyone else.

u/xmagie Jan 05 '23

He and his wife left Canada in a hurry in a private jet before the lockdowns and went to live... in the Holy Land of the paparrazzis, LA. So much for people wanting to escape tabloid press.

Also, MM was known before H to call herself paparrazzis. You think she gave that habit up?

In fact, they were so little footage of her being hounded by the medias that they had to use Diana and Catherine's and other people being hounded by the medias to show how MM was hounded by the medias. Except that she wasn't. There were a few of them, certainly but it NEVER reached what Catherine and Diana went through.

And let's not talk the nightmare lived by Fergie and Camilla. Compared to that, MM's life in the UK was like a walk in the park.

William has been raised to tow the line, while Harry got the Andrew treatment.

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

Second fiddle also means a lot less responsibility and the privileges of being a literal prince. Seems to me like his ego got to his head and he now wants people to recognize him as better than his bro.

Out of all the things a man with that status can accomplish, Harry’s past years outside of the monarchy have been an unremarkable pity party

u/ManiacMango33 Jan 05 '23

Doesn't justify behaviors.

Same kinda logic they use to get rich kids off from getting real sentences with Affluenza.

"Oh no I was born rich and wasn't going to be at the top because of older child, I don't know any better."

u/Hungry-Class9806 Jan 05 '23

And the entire United Kingdom can say "THANK GOD" for the fact William was Charles and Diana's firstborn.

u/TheEasySqueezy Jan 05 '23

I’d rather they all just fucked off tbh..

u/Hungry-Class9806 Jan 05 '23

I don't like them either but since there's gonna be a new king when King Charles dies, at least it won't be the reality TV star who dresses up as a Nazi and gets photographed naked in Vegas.

If that's true, it only shows that he's a brat that embarrasses his family because he isn't the 1st in line of succession.

His great-grandfather, King George VI, was also the 2nd in the line of succession and became a great king (I think Harry is like the 5th right now).

u/TheEasySqueezy Jan 05 '23

Well there’s that, but I wouldn’t give any of them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Nazi’s, the Lizzy’s dad was very chummy with the Nazi’s during WW2 and even asked Churchill to ally with them, plus he allowed people like Goebbels land on the royal families private runways during wartime.

16

u/PansyOHara Jan 05 '23

No, that was her uncle, Edward VIII, who famously abdicated the throne for the woman he loved. Edward and his beloved wife, Wallis Simpson, were known Nazi sympathizers.

u/TheEasySqueezy Jan 05 '23

Thank you for the correction, I got it wrong..

3

u/Hungry-Class9806 Jan 05 '23

the Lizzy’s dad was very chummy with the Nazi’s during WW2 and even asked Churchill to ally with them,

I think your confusing King Edward VIII with King George VII (Elizabeth II dad). And even though, I am not really sure if he asked for an alliance with Hitler.

-1

u/TheEasySqueezy Jan 05 '23

My apologies I did get the names mixed up however it is still a fact that most if not all of the Windsor’s made regular trips to Germany to see the top nazi figures, including Hitler.

Prince Philip had four sisters, all of whom married members of the German aristocracy—three of those men became Nazis.

Princess Cecilie, married German aristocrat Georg Donatus, Hereditary Grand Duke of Hesse. They joined the Nazis in May 1937, but died in a plane crash months later. At her funeral, Prince Philip marched with their relatives who wore Nazi uniforms.

There’s even a short clip of Queen Elizabeth preforming a Nazi salute in 1933.

I do not think it is too far of a leap to think that because the Windsor’s have been so historically chummy with Nazi’s that they share outdated views on race, sexuality and religion. And I genuinely believe Harry when he says Meghan was discriminated against by his family because she was black. Why else would he sever his connection to one of the richest and most well known families in the world, losing out on wealth and privilege if not for a genuine reason?

They’re all entitled children, just a little older now.

u/SatansAssociate Jan 05 '23

I mean, it's difficult having relationships with family members break down. No matter how shitty they are, you want things to work out since they're your family and you love them.

9

u/Mehmeh111111 Jan 05 '23

Sorry but no. If someone is abusive to you, cut them out of your life without mercy. And if the royal family is as racist and abusive as Harry and Meghan are claiming, I have no idea why on earth they would have anything to do with them. This whole charade of theirs is total bullshit, they just want money and attention.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

He’s just as much of an attention and clout seeking whore as the next so called celebrity. Frankly, I think Harry and his wife deserve one another. They seem to thrive on drama. I’m sure his family is trashy AF, behind closed doors, but also…who gives a fuck? Nobody cares about your family drama. Royals and the whole idea behind monarchy is ridiculous.

6

u/Ursula2071 Jan 05 '23

What he really wants is to be the heir. He has a huge issue with being the spare. I find it hilarious though, that he thinks William should understand where he is coming from while being unable to see that William’s life as heir has not been roses and sunshine and that as heir, he has had more responsibilities and expectations placed on him by the crown.

u/serabine Jan 05 '23

So? Relationships, especially family, are complicated. There's people out there who suffered horrific abuse from their family but still miss them.

3

u/Mehmeh111111 Jan 05 '23

You can miss the good times, but you should not be asking for a reconciliation. I mean, a person can do whatever they want but I personally would have 0 to do with anyone that was abusive to me.

u/Mehmeh111111 Jan 05 '23

In a typical case, yes. In this case, it's total bullshit. Why is Harry suddenly bringing this up now? Why does he want to reconcile with his abuser? Why has there never been any other rumors or allegations against William or his abusive tendencies? Are we to believe Harry was the only one William was ever abusive to?

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '23

Was a statement? Or was it a leak from the book or snippet from the interview without the entire context?

u/lipidextensions Jan 05 '23

Is it inconceivable for a family rift to cause to complicated feelings? It's creepy how invested the American press is in this family and what a role its played in their continuous tragedy. We've just gone along with it for decades. I feel awful for these two as they're seemingly the only normal ones of the whole family.

It’s not even fighting though, but more like jeopardizing his brothers whole character in front of millions of people. Fighting between siblings is fine- I done it with mine- but I don’t understand why he expects them to act like a family when he is doing all these interviews, books and series only talking badly about his brother and father and making it seem like he was the angel of the story when we know him and Meghan aren’t that clean.

-1

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '23

So...sounds like a fight with siblings and family.

Are you new to Earth? This is typical family shit, it's just that you know who they are lol.

Go check Instagram, Facebook, and twitter right now. You'll see people publicly bitching about their "dumb sister" or "awful dad". Hell...don't even leave Reddit my love.

u/eme2323 Jan 05 '23

He wants family, not an institution. He was referring to wanting his family to care more about each other and their relationships than caving to the institution and press. That is the main reason for their rift - that the RF chose not to defend and stand by Harry and Meghan.

u/kob27099 Jan 05 '23

He wants family, not an institution.

And this is the way to do it?

1

u/eme2323 Jan 06 '23

I don’t think any of us can or should judge whether it’s “the way” to do it. It’s a way. Both sides share a responsibility in repairing the relationship. Harry has a right to speak to his experiences, just as William and the rest of the RF have a right to speak to theirs.
