BRF~Israel~Judaism~SciFi What else is there?

On one hand, a bankrukpt and desperate Harry is very dangerous for Charles (more than for William, IMHO). He could write or say whatever atrocity he fancies, like Charles got Diana killed or whatever. And no father wants to see his son broke and desperate.

On the other, if he sets a precedent Harry is going to use this card to get money from him again and again.

I honestly don’t know.

On the one hand, no. Charles can’t pay this, because Harry literally sued the press and the monarchy needs the press to survive. The optics are atrocious, because it’s basically The King paying off the press.

On the other hand, yes. Harry is Charles’s son and Charles probably feels some responsibility to help, not unlike how The Queen helped Andrew pay for Virginia’s lawsuit, especially if it’s true that the Sussexes are in dire straits financially and especially considering that many, many people believe Charles is already supporting/paying for Harry.

And while I see your point that this could embolden Harry to say more things or write more memoirs, Harry’s own reputation is in very serious tatters. Oprah has been debunked with 17 lies. Spare has been debunked with more lies and falsities, not to mention it also has a Harry-written disclaimer that he has a bad memory and he confesses to a lot of substance abuse. Then we have this DM lawsuit, which revealed in court under penalty of perjury that Harry has lied about a lot of other things too, including being the media’s source for many leaks and gossip about his family.

I can now reveal that, during the summer of 2025, a close adviser to Harry and Meghan had contacted me out of the blue and invited me to lunch at the Ivy restaurant in London.

As a result of information given to me at that lunch meeting, I placed a series of stories in The Mail on Sunday that portrayed the couple in a positive light. This included a front-page article, which ran in July, suggesting that Harry and Meghan were attempting to rebuild their relationship with King Charles. It revolved around the fact that Liam Maguire and Meredith Maines, Harry and Meghan’s US PR chiefs, were to hold clear-the-air talks with the monarch’s aide Tobyn Andreae in London.

I was duly tipped off about the meeting, which was held at the Royal Over-Seas League near Clarence House. The attendees settled themselves on a balcony plainly visible from the public park below. The Mail on Sunday arranged for a photographer to capture the cosy but very embarrassing scene.

In a development which speaks volumes for their integrity, ‘sources close to the Sussexes’ then briefed the Daily Telegraph that they were ‘very frustrated’ that the pictures of the Royal Over-Seas League gathering had ended up in The Mail on Sunday – suggesting, quite falsely, that the Palace was responsible for a grotesque betrayal of trust.

Now, just six months later, the prince was impugning my integrity, while swearing that his people never leaked and that stories that ended up in my newspaper must have been obtained illegally.

Also, quite possibly the real origin of Harry's nickname "Spike",

Harry had recently returned from California, where he’d been learning to fly helicopter gunships. I was a 27-year-old trainee journalist working on a gossip column for a very different British institution – The Mail on Sunday.

According to the table plan, the prince and I were to sit next to each other at dinner. And because Harry was doubtless wary about being introduced to an H&M-clad stranger, he decided to kick start our relationship by subjecting me to a little test.

From his pocket, he removed a small white pill. Then he held it up to my face, popped it on to my tongue, and said with a smile: ‘Now I know I can trust you!’ ...  It was almost certainly paracetamol, rather than something more sinister. But I couldn’t be entirely sure.

Please, he clearly is way more stupid than we all think, this is a man that likes ballet, reading and gardening, was the heir to the throne and by all hopes and means was meant to be as close to perfect as possible. But somehow, it is so annoying and unpleasant that by the time he was 30, multiple women declined his advances and were adamant that they wouldn't marry him, regardless of the prestige of his position. Then he had to go and groome a teenager and having her being so clueless and her family basically selling her off so he could have a wife. I understand that for a lot of the new fans Charles and Camilla were star crossed lovers that weren't aloud to be with each other because of "duty", that's far from the truth. Camilla was done with Charles being an asshole and went and married APB. They reignited their "romance" after Harry was born.

So yeah, Charles is stupid, arrogant and deprived of any emotional intelligence, because anyone less self-absorbed would have worked hard to make sure their kids understand their positions while being loved. Charles was too busy trying to mend a reputation that was pretty much ruined and forgot he was the single parent raising teenagers and then he fucked up so badly that we now have this spectacle of arrogance.

Don't get me wrong, Harry is an asshole. He is reaping what he planted. But assholes aren't born, they are made. And Charles has been a clueless asshole since way before he married Diana. Apologies for my rant.

Let’s add in something else - Andrew. How different might his life have been had he been allowed to marry Koo Stark?

So, the heir and the spare in the 80s weren’t allowed to marry the women they wanted. Let’s get something straight- Neither Sophie nor Catherine would have been allowed to marry their princes if the previous two fk ups hadn’t happened. Meghan should find Koo and kiss her butt.

Is Charles a workaholic? Yup, like many a person. Did Diana and Fleet Street take advantage of that for their own purposes, you betcha. Is Charles perfect? Nope.

The grey suits are no match for modern media in addition to a raging narcissist.

As if it couldn’t get any worse…..
