A summit? What is this, the Camp David Accords?

The media behaves as if Charles's son is a Head of State who's come to broker a peace deal.

And once he flies back to the US, they'll go back to complaining about how he "stole" the spotlight from the "real" royals.

He didn't steal anything, the British media gave him the spotlight. As usual.

I got a snort out of "The Duke of Sussex held a private tea with the monarch." Umm, no. Charles had Harry meet him at Clarence House. He hosted Harry, not the other way around. My guess is Camilla wasn't present. I'll bet anything that money, or the lack thereof, was a prime topic. I will also bet anything that Charles declined to reopen the Bank of Papa or, if he did give Harry something, it was far less than Harry wanted.

I'm waiting to see when Hello or People magazines have a story on what went on during the "tea."

It'll be interesting in the next couple of weeks if we read about "what really went on", meaning Harry and his demands or pleading, and what he didn't get. I'm sure if Charles's aides weren't directly in the room, they were extremely close by, doors opened a crack to catch the conversation.
A Summit??? The media is so stupid, the media seems to think all is well and fences have been mended. Liz Jones of the DM, the Sussex fan girl, has a piece in which the headline states, "William needs to stop being mean and get his act together" or something like that. It's behind the paywall.
Liz, if your sibling treated you as Harry has William, would you be so outraged?
I guess that at the Well Child event, Harry made a pointed, negative remark about siblings...implying William, of course. Harry doesn't want reconciliation...well, only if money is involved.

The flip-flopping of the media is laughable.

Yesterday, behind a paywall, Richard Eden claimed that the "stability of the monarchy" depends upon a reconciliation with Harry.

Today, again behind a paywall, Eden writes that Charles is a mistake "appeasing" Harry.

Harry defines reconciliation as "You will grovel and publicly apologize to me and my wife for your misdeeds (as defined by them) and then we can all let bygones by bygones and move forward".

So, there can be no reconciliation without appeasement. And once one of their demands is met, they will move the goal posts and make more demands before they are willing to move on.

Last time I checked, the stability of the monarchy depended on the royals who do their duty--and beyond--for their country. Twerk and his wife wouldn't know a thing about duty.

Harry in Ukraine

Posted by Hollie24 on September 12, 2025, 11:06 am, in reply to "Sep 9 - the twerking royals"

He met with the President and wounded soldiers. My mind is boggling with the absolute stupidity of this surprise visit and it being publicized. Neither Charles nor the British government knew and approved of this visit, surely? Harry's meeting with Zelensky gives this visit an air of official duty.

No, Harry said he asked permission of the government first. It's in the article somewhere.

"'I had to check with my wife and the British government to make sure it was OK', he admitted today."

So, not the king.

His entire visit strikes me as an audition to prove that he should be allowed to return as a working royal.

Totally. The DM says he's working hard for that goal. I sure hope not.

She's too busy frolicking in the out-of-season vegetable garden at their luxury 14-room mansion.

Harry traveled by train. Of course she didn't accompany him.

She's not interested in auditioning for the part of a working royal. Not until her list of demands is met.

Oops, I missed that bit about checking with the government. Maybe the government said hey, you're a private citizen and we can't stop you...

Maybe it had been in the article, but I just read it and it's a mishmash of Harry's visit, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper's visit, info about Invictus, and mention of Charles's and William's support for Ukraine.

Only time the government is mentioned is in regard to Yvette Cooper's visit, which was separate from Harry's.

I found the article. It was in OK.

It reminds me of that trip Charles made to the US to pick up some environmental award (in Philadelphia?) and when he was criticized and it was suggested that he should accept the award by video hookup, he and his staff scrambled around to find other engagements in the US, and he ended up also visiting Haarlem to shoot basketballs.

Charles claimed the Foreign Office asked him to make the trip, but somebody from the Foreign Office claimed that when he asked for permission to go, they told him they had no objections. (This was back in our alt-gossip.royalty days.

I thought it was interesting that Harry appeared to be more concerned about receiving permission from his wife rather than how the British Government felt.

Harry visited Ukraine for the exactly the same reasons in April....after his appearance at the Royal Court regarding a lawsuit. It's, "See what a humanitarian I am and don't forget about the Invictus Games of which I founded (not)" PR. Always the same pattern. He has to play up the "everything is good at Invictus" in light of the several people jumping ship at IG.
I'm sure the UK Govt. told Harry, "Yeah sure, go ahead, it's a private visit on your part and we don't really have a spot in this visit since you're going as a private citizen."
