Open Post: Three Years Going On Four of the Sussexes

Instead of the traditional leather gifts on the Sussexes' 3rd Anniversary, we got an announcement for plans of an Indian Community Relief Center after hearing Princess Beatrice's baby announcement.

Let's continue the conversation...

Oh, after the bit about worrying he would have to raise Archie by himself was the part where he said he wouldn’t be bullied into silence, but I didn’t hear all of it because DH came back in and started talking,

Two comments:

Does anyone else remember the explanation that the reason Princess Diana didn’t wear a seat belt was because security wants to be able to get them out of a car quickly in an emergency.?That seems ridiculous to me. (Seems like the senior royals always look like they have seatbelts on.)

It is pathetic that Harry is being encouraged to spill his deepest thoughts in these pitiful interviews. His wife, Oprah, Gayle, and others should be ashamed. The interviews are so demeaning. I’m sure he believes people are interested and that these tell-all interviews are the American way. But I think most people will be disgusted and bored. He probably loves getting even with his mean old family who has always taken care of him.

So Harry has finally come out and said that the RF were going to kill TW if they stayed in the UK. Wow.

He has just gone over Niagara Falls without a barrel.

Seems like Charles Spencer needs to explain why he sat on his knowledge and notes for a quarter century. At some point, he had to have realized that he and his sister were hoodwinked.

Thanks @tatty for the play-by-play! I am curious to watch the series but at the same time, I don't want to give this series the views.

I'm not knowledgeable on effective therapies but this approach seems unhealthy: "it’s not what”s wrong with you, it’s about what happened to you." I thought coming to terms with yourself in a non-judgmental way would be healing. This type of therapy sounds focused on blame-games. I can see why Harry could not come out of this type of therapy better off.

Maybe other Nutties have a better understanding on this? I am way out of my depth.

@JennS,

Thank you for giving us all of that content.

All I can say is, if this new tale of M’s “suicide“ tale is true, she is manipulative to the highest degree, and psychotic, and doing nothing to help the state of those people who are truly depressed or ill enough to consider suicide.

Ralph, if I remember correctly, he very recently found out what Bashir was up to. I read a long interview last year, but can’t remember where. As soon as he realized that documents were forged, he spoke our and went to The BBC and the press.

I'm getting really grossed out by how Catherine's BIL's wife is obsessed with being Diana 2.0. Whatever Diana's flaws, she had this incredible magnetism and charisma. If anyone is Diana 2.0, it's Harry. So is his wife Dodi Fayed? That's not a flattering comparison at all but much more on the money. Harry seems doomed to repeat his mother's mistakes... Diana expressed regret. When will Harry?

tatty said...

Blue sequin dress, 6 months pregnant, she shared earlier that evening the suicidal thoughts and her clarity of thought in how she was going to end her life, she was sober and sane and not self medicating, thoughts woke her up in the quiet of night.

Because narcissists are habitual liars, I do not believe this. If Meghan is moving her lips, there is likely a lie or half truth coming out in dome fashion. I think telling Harry she was thinking of hurting herself was a control move and another step in the manipulation of Harry so Meghan could achieve her ultimate goal of quickly returning to California with her royal title and Harry in tow.

I also suspect that since she seems to be obsessed with mimicking Diana, if she tried to make Harry think she would throw herself down a staircase in the dramatic path of Diana.

@charade, I’m in the bedroom charging the iPad for bed. I’ll finish episode 2 tomorrow. I have no problem doing play by plays (I type fast) as long as people want them. I left out some possibly triggering parts from lady Gaga and Oprah. The series hits all the biggies (may trigger), abuse, rape, suicide ideology, addiction, depression, anxiety, ptsd. Etc.

Rebecca, who is TW?

Brown eyes, I find Harry comes across as authentic and engaging, but yes, it does seem like he is also settling some scores. Maybe that is in his best interest and maybe not. To be determined, I suppose, but yes it does feel as if he has left England for good and is OUT of the royal family. I also kind of feel like since he is regarded as just Harry throughout, maybe he is setting it up where they are going to be the Mountbatten Windsors. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Idk. Just some thoughts... William’s head is probably exploding after the panorama stuff... I feel bad for them, they are going to have this fallout tomorrow.

Idk about if her stuff is purely manipulative because I’m rich and privileged (obviously not to royalty standards) and let’s just say I had a dark period when my kids were little and I had a very similar discussion with my husband, which sent me to therapy and EMDR (highly recommended by the way). If it’s fake, she researched it enough to understand how to relay the information.

Grisham said…
Happy camper, maybe. I certainly don’t know. Harry comes across as having full agency, so I really can’t believe he is a step Ford husband. He seems fully into owning all of this.
Ziggy said…
The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put in a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby.

I'm sorry, but this is such an utter load of bullshit that it makes me want to wretch. Thinking as rationally as that "oh, well, I guess I shouldn't do this since his mum is dead too" is not how it works. So many moms, dads, sisters, brothers kill themselves because they see no way out- it's like they are in a burning building and the only choice is to burn or jump out the window.

Once again, the staggering narcissism is showing- apparently Harry is the only lad in the world to have lost a mother. And of course, the wife of a man who lost his mother might toy with suicide but not follow through because that would be unfair to her husband?

UNBELIEVABLE! (in more ways than one.)

I think TW is short for "The Wife" or rather Harry's wife.

@JennS
Yes, I read all your posts. Thank you for all your research and articles. I hope the Sussexes finally get their freedom and piece of mind as Mountbatten-Windsors a.s.a.p.

There's something I have to say here and please don't take it as a cry for help or anything like that. I know a lot of us nutties are narc survivors or narc adjacent.

I was beaten and strangled by my narc on innumerable occasions. I still sometimes get abusive texts from him and I start shaking. But it's because of whinging twats like Harry that I'll never admit to being "triggered."

And frankly, it's because of little bitches like Harry that I don't seek therapy.
If a prince of the realm, with all the privilege and money and everything at his disposal, who has been in therapy, still behaves like this pathetic little injured bitch because his mommy died... why fucking bother?

Sorry to be harsh, but really. Their woke psychobabble will probably harm more people than it helps.
The people who like Harry and his wife are the same people who fill up garbage bags with gasoline and put them in their hatchback. That analogy both literal and figurative ;)

@JennS, I agree. I kept thinking TW was Thomas or Tim Somebody or maybe "The Winfrey" for awhile. Then I briefly wondered why we were talking about Pippa as James Matthews is a BIL of Kate's (or of "#2's wife"). Some I just gave up on understanding and skipped over the posts.

I have used initials like H, M/MM,. And I've used PoW, PP, TQ, and HMTQ. I'll stop if I need to.
Maneki Neko said…
Just saw something in Newzit and clicked on it - not sure why as I am fed up with those two:

Prince Harry says he is ‘ashamed’ of how he responded Meghan Markle’s suicidal thoughts

I'll spare you the first few paragraphs but this caught my eye:

“My biggest regret is not making more of a stance earlier on in my relationship with my wife and calling out racism than when I did,” Harry said.

“My mother was chased to her death while she was in a relationship with someone who wasn’t white. And now look what’s happened.”
(my emphasis)

This is a new one. I've been reading the overnight posts quickly but I don't think I saw this. So now Diana's death has racists overtones? Anyone reading this out of context would imagine something very different. I am not a callous person but I really don't believe M was suicidal, she was only emulating Diana and H just believes anything that comes out of her mouth. She has reopened the wound (Diana's death) and keeps twisting the knife.
Maneki Neko said…
To add to my previous post, the intimation is that history will /might repeat itself, i.e., I will lose my wife who is not white because of the press/the BRF. M has performed a form of non surgical lobotomy on H.

They will continue to spin a story to the desired narrative they want to present at any given time. It’s obscenely gross and nauseating. I don’t believe M was suicidal either, she’s a manipulative liar. I can’t just blame just her, he’s guilty too, infact more guilty.

As far as I recall, the anxiety about Dodi wasn't about his skin colour.

His father was, and remains, a shady character (refused British passport on undisclosed grounds - bro-in-law of an *rms dealer from the same country that gave the gift of those earrings to H's wife).

Dodi himself didn't look like a particularly good role model for the boys.

IMO, there may have been anxiety in some quarters about certain aspects of his dad's dealings and, more generally, the family background culture, not colour, and possible influence on the boys.

As for the seat belt, what a load of rubbish H spouts! Seat belts have ruined a couple of my jackets but that's a small price to pay - I can't think that Diana had to worry about wear on her lapels! Only a prize idiot would imagine it's a security issue.

@JennS

Apologies, I didn't see the quote because I read the posts quickly and left the Telegraph article for later. This 'someone who wasn’t white' is a new angle and I see M's hand in it.
Ava C said…
This is all the usual pattern.

M puts it out there that someone in the BRF was racist about her baby but out of the goodness of her heart she won't say who it is.

M trashes Catherine. Out of the goodness of her heart she's forgiven her yet she's putting it out there just the same.

She tells H she's actually decided how to kill herself but out of the goodness of her heart she won't do it as it would upset him (that's the most blatant piece of manipulation of all).

I've lost count of the number of times she's told us that she's not going to tell us something. It's all so pathetically juvenile. So transparent.

We're also having to endure "heavily pregnant" again. Not just for this "pregnancy" (ahem) but the last one as well. This woman spends so much time reminding people she is or was "heavily pregnant". She always needs excuses. The race card and the pregnancy card. I visualise those cards being as big as advertising hoardings. H staggering under the weight of them.

Again H utterly refuses to countenance the idea that we had the right to call them out on their many failings. We must accept whatever they do without question or complaint. He seems to think he's Louis XIV.

Clue number 5,983 of what is going on.

Harry has become a stone NUTTER. Look at him, and listen to him. Drugged out of his mind. Life is too hard for him.

Markle is USING him for her own ends. The XXX dollars she is spending on PR (three companies, three!!! she has hired) are all about putting out fires, and convincing woke Big Corporations that the Harkles are "it" for their brands.

*heaving huge sigh* ..... Well, it's not working. As Abraham Lincoln said, 'You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.'

These flawed humans need to fade away into oblivion. Sooner, the better.

@JennS @lizzie
I have no problem going back to the standard initials for the BRF. Is Rache okay for Harry's wife? I'm extremely averse to using M or MM because those happen to be the initials of a loved one. I really don't want to maintain that association in my head.

Truth be told, I'm really tempted to start calling Harry's wife Dodi 2.0. Shady interloper that entices a Windsor with glamour and imbues life with drugs, parties, and emotional chaos.
DogsMatter said…
It's amazing how MM has pushed her narrative that she was harassed by the media. As if she was anywhere near the fame & adoration of Diana. No-one even knew her, and apart from the wedding she didn't want, she wasn't a media draw whatsoever. Harry going on about how he feared he would lose yet another loved one in his life due to the press haunting her. Oh please! She really is delusional. How can he even say it with a straight face? It infuriates me the level of her narcissism. And his colossal stupidity!
Unknown said…
@Ava C I have the same feeling of foreboding you do about Harry. He is deeply flawed and responsible for these horrors but at the end of the day, I don't get the feeling he worships money and power above all else like his wife and the parties around him do. Humans can go very low but I consider most humans capable of redemption. Narcissists, psychopaths, and sociopaths are a different breed.

Every time I look at Harry, I am so grateful my Mom kept pushing that I be careful who I let into my life and social circles. You become the average of your friends and family. I think that's the stark difference between William and Harry. Wills has always been guarded whereas Harry was in curated friend and family groups because everyone around him was guarded. Then his bubble collapsed and he's reeling...

I apologize in advance if my sympathies for Harry are grating for most Nutties here. I am still frustrated by him but after watching the "Royal Butler" recount his memories of Harry, my feelings softened again. It was sad to hear William and Harry being best friends before and very similar in how they treated those around them. He even had a story of Harry cleaning a dog's accident indoors.

The "Royal Butler" stories may be careful image boosters but the genuine affection and protectiveness he has for William, Harry, and Catherine is hard not to see.

A tale of two Princes

Today's front page at The Times: a photo of William and a headline blaming the BBC for his mother's paranoia ie she was nuts; one of the other papers, a photo of 'arry whinging about something or other concerning his family zzzzzzz. Really, washing ones dirty washing on public is never a good idea even were the family the family from hell.

This message has been PCR tested for covid and no trace has been found.
The reading public here has been wallowing in `Misery literature' for over 2 decades - now we have `Misery TV'.

Have just back tracked on BBC News, having seen a snippet of the report on Harry.

BBC News24 Channel (Victoria Derbyshire)at 10am led with the Bashir story - gave it 15 minutes. Really interesting was the interview with Matt Wiessler, the graphic designer to whom Bashir gave the commission to fake the bank statements, without telling him what it was about. Subsequently, Wiessler seems to have been made the scapegoat and so was blacklisted, scuppering his future business plans. he is still very angry and upset.

This was followed by a shorter report about Oprah's latest offering, 6 minutes. I still couldn't stomach it - I'd turned it off earlier when they started to interview a US commentator (sorry didn't catch the name) which seemed pro- H & M. She was still on right at the end.

At least William came first and got 150% more airtime.

All the same, roll on GB TV.

I can't help thinking the publication of the Dyson Report on Bashir was very felicitously timed, intentional or not.
Unknown said…
I do wonder if the Dodi narrative didn't come from Rache and her team studying content on certain sites. We discussed it at length because of some parallels.

Does anyone else think that Prince William's remark about no longer distributing Diana's Panorama had a point to it? Namely the Sussexes. Omid's comment about it intrigues me. I wouldn't put it past Oprah and them to capitalize on it. So far their Apple TV series is forcing parallels and a white-washing of facts on those with little to no memory of it. Hollywood does like to revisit so-called famous "tragic" figures in their. Is it possible the Sussexes want to start projects of their own giving Diana the Judy Garland and Marilyn Monroe treatment?
Acquitaine said…
Is it just me that remembers that Dodi was being sued by his ex-fiance for dropping her to pursue Diana?

That she revealed Dodi kept her on a yacht alongside the one he was sharing with Diana so that he could spend nights with Kelly while he was spending days with Diana?

That it was soon revealed how Fayed Pere orchestrated the entire romance as some sort of trap for Diana.

Does anyone remember Kelly's tearful conferences alongside Gloria Allred detailing all this?

Kelly gave an interview in 2017 that was largely ignored, but seeing No 6 claiming that Diana was pursued because of racism popped off that memory in my head.

Yes @Wild Boar Battle-Maid! I am so happy about the timing of the Dyson report too. It casts a dark shadow on the Oprah interview and series. It's also a blessing that the lies and Oprah not challenging the Sussexes is out there. The long game seems go be in the BRF's court thankfully.
Unknown said…
Actual paparazzi in America may want a word with Harry about paps killing his mother. The Paparazzi Podcast discusses the Sussexes a few times and shut-down the narrative the paps are responsible for Diana's death. I'll list the episodes and time stamps if anyone is interested.
Re rebroadcasting That Interview:

I understood Wm to say he wanted it never to be broadcast again at all, in any form.

The BBC, according to Victoria D, says it won't broadcast it again in its entirety - not the same thing.

Ruddy weasels.
Ava C said…
@Charade - Every time I look at Harry, I am so grateful my Mom kept pushing that I be careful who I let into my life and social circles.

I agree with you and I can understand the complexity of your thoughts about H. I mentioned a year or so ago on here that I had a boyfriend in the early '90s who would now be described as 'toxic' and broke up with me three times without warning, including on Valentine's Day and my birthday. At one point I was taken to a mental hospital but am forever grateful to a doctor there who spoke wisely and humanely to me and made me realise I was strong enough to cope. I did however become seriously underweight and I never felt secure in relationships again. I later discovered I was the only girlfriend to escape being admitted to a mental hospital. Among others he'd ruined a medical student's career and a ballet dancer's career. So I'm aware how much damage one person can do to another and how insidious it is.

Melvyn Bragg put it perfectly when writing the life of Richard Burton and the destructive potential of his relationship with Elizabeth Taylor:

... his London pals told him to “beware”, she would “eat him up”, she was a “monster”. This was not just cocktail party chatter. People can be destroyed; talent can be corrupted; there are monsters who swallow up the personalities of others. Perhaps those in showbusiness and the theatre are more vivid in expressing their understanding of it, but it happens all the time and everywhere. People can take on too much or the wrong struggle and, at first unaware of this, soon be wounded, even annihilated. Burton was aware that she might do this to him.

He was of course an infinitely more intelligent being than H.
Acquitaine said, Is it just me that remembers that Dodi was being sued by his ex-fiance for dropping her to pursue Diana?

Yes I do and saw the interviews at the time. I’m in a rush, but I did want to acknowledge the story. ;o)
Ava C said…
@Raspberry Ruffle & @Acquitaine - oh yes I'd totally forgotten about Dodi's existing partner when Diana came along. That was very shabby. I remember various papers covering it at the time.
So Harry's now claiming he only started taking drugs later than we know he did? He was on the booze & wacky-baccy in his teens, I understand

-------------------

Racism & Dodi:

Our current acronym for `non-white' people is BAME & I reckon it's based on muddled thinking:

B = Black (skin-colour designation); A = Asian (geographical origins); ME= Minority Ethnic (demographic percentage).

The rest of us are White (British or Irish - geographical and political, heavily contested in Northern Ireland) or White (European)

I'm sure you can see overlapping categories, plus one case of lumping very disparate people togeter. I've no idea where this leaves those from N.Africa & Near/Middle East.

Physical Anthropology might once have given us an answer but that's been cancelled and nobody dare say much about Indo-European origins, and then only very quietly.

BTW Cheddar Man makes an interesting study of contrasting attitudes (eg. BBC v. those who grasp genetic probabilities:

What’s particularly sickening is for ratings and views they aired this with the inquiry results. How awful is that? An unspeakable low in this whole thing. And the Mrs is throwing him down a rabbit hole and she has kept her ugly mug out of most of it. Is she hoping he does die like Diana so she and “archie” can have that funeral moment? Because from where I am sitting it sure seems like her plan and her Diana obsession.
JHanoi said…
MM is certainly very manipulative. whining to JH before an event, i want to kill myself but won’t because you’ve lost so many women in your life. ( not sure who he lost other than his Mom /Di. ....and Great Granny Queen Mum and. Great Aunt? ) . thats a true manipulator.... JH is so dense.

ive only read a few snippets from the DM home page so i may have the quote wrong. but its funny that JH wants rconcililation with the fam after he throws more mud at them. he cracks me up!!
did O bother to ask about any of the lies they told from the last interview or was it just another whine-fest?

Harry doesn't know that Arabs are Caucasians, as are pasty Europeans.

Charles should ask him privately if he would like to remove himself from the LoS since he's declared himself unfit and unwilling to reign. H would be in a bind.
Snarkyatherbest said…
If he really had these revelations did he never talk to his family about them. I hate when people go on social media or on tv to “right the wrongs they feel” but never ever actually talk to the people who did whatever to them. At first I think she was trying to be aggrieved Diana 2.0 but now I think she realized it wasn’t flying so she will make the hubby Diana 2.0 and maybe feels she will get the world stage if she is the widow Windsor. All this crap has me convinced he was cut off and the little bug in his ear keeps feeding how awful what they are doing to him. And Oprah. She is going for the jugular. She really does hate the royals doesn’t she. If they strip him the titles and the line of succession how does that look they are going after someone in therapy. Kinda genius on the harkles part. Your victimhood is public and anything done to them is cruel from a PR and image perspective. Still think someone is going to end up dead at the end of all of this.

@Acquitaine,
I remember the Dodi Girlfriend tale well. I was on a shoot when it broke and it was all the models wanted to talk about because one had intersected with Dodi at some point.

✨✨

So, DM headlines about Harry whining that no one helped him and everyone neglected him and made him suffer etc. The way I want to slap his unwashed face with our own Nutty truth bombs is overwhelming. This multimillionaire brat, who had every advantage, a raft of friends, money, cars and planes at his disposal, who could travel to luxury spas and Elton John and Lake Como with the Clooneys, but he couldn’t get off his weak indulged arse to seek his own help, or help for his manipulative ludicrous “feminist” wife, is beyond laughable. They were photographed in and out of new age gift shops and baby showers an tennis matches, Vogue and SmartWorks, but expect us to believe they couldn’t book an appointment This middle-aged baby liar makes me sick.

Both my parents, both older, were quite ill by the time I was 16 (heart failure, stroke, Parkinson’s, small frontal brain tumor) and by 18 I was arranging medical care for them and dealing with their doctors and physical therapy teams and putting myself through school and working several jobs to meet their expenses while living lean myself. I didn’t stand around flapping my wee hands or sulking or finger pointing, I dug in and got them help they needed (while my older whining brother said he didn’t want the responsibility and concentrated on his high paying job, his sports cars, his boat, living large and having fun while also calling me complaining I wasn’t sending him money too. To their last day, he did nothing to help them. (Another reason I roll my eyes when people start saying Harry’s BS is because he is a youngest child - I know quite a few “youngest” kids shouldering the family burden and serious careers while the smug spoiled or useless oldest kids skip off. Harry’s issue is his very poor character, not his birth order. That’s my opinion and I have seen enough now to write it in ink.)

F**k straight off, Harry. You can find the ability for independent action only when you want to party, vacation, pursue women, or harm or piss on people, is that it? We see your game, just as we see your wife’s agenda. But do keep spilling so more of the world can see what you really are.
Ava C said…
Looking at the DM today it seems even worse than when Megsxit was first announced. He's swamping the world with his endless self-pity. Readers seem near their limit of endurance. An intervention is most definitely called for. Does a wife always take precedence over the rest of a person's family?

Reminds me of when Elvis was going off the deep end with drugs, so that he didn't even know where he was or what he was doing on stage, but there was no one close enough or resolute enough to intervene. There's a point of no return and H feels close to that now. There's not a single person in that entire continent with his true interests at heart. They're all thousands of miles away.

I still don't feel sorry for him though. His chickens are coming home to roost. (Very apt.)
AnT said…
@CookieShark,

I agree — they (SS, Oprah, MM) are having Harry roll out all this sputtering nonsense to try to eclipse the bullying investigation. MM has to keep their cash cow persona (world’s biggest victims in every arena — our lives are worse than anyone’s, now give us your hair and money) spinning.

I don’t know why they didn’t just name their foundation the Victimhood Enhancement Organization.
AnT said…
@Snarkyatherbest,

My sole connection to that inner BRF world has said for two months he has heard/been told through his club that theKr titles and styles will be gone. The only decision is how to wrap it.

That Harry and Archie are out of the line of succession is I think the most important thing. Even without titles they will blab on and on and put out more lurid “true stories” — they are their own ugly media group, essentially, while trying to stop free speech for others, of course. So nothing, not even a large settlement, will ever truly stop the flow of boring muck from their spastic volcanic belching mouths.

But as long as they are far far from the line to the throne and Montecito becomes Siberia, that will be best scenario for the BRF.

@AvaC,

Well said — he is like a propped up drugged up ranting older Elvis.

Megs and Doria are probably his in-house “therapy team” egging him on. Wonder what in the magic diet they have him on.

How does all this rage and whining and circling grim angst square with his hoppy boppy animal-costumed BetterUp colleagues and their rainbow of fun and easy mental health Pajama Party thing? Seems like pretty poor advertising for them.

And my other thought: is Harry raging because the Dyson verdict and William are smashing his secret Netflix Diana show? Something more seems to be amiss in Harkleville.

Actual paparazzi in America may want a word with Harry about paps killing his mother. The Paparazzi Podcast discusses the Sussexes a few times and shut-down the narrative the paps are responsible for Diana's death. I'll list the episodes and time stamps if anyone is interested.
_____

I'm definitely interested, @ charade. I've followed the podcasters for quite a while now. It was they who clued me in to the fact that no one (paparazzo) wanted to be sued for any kind of contact with the S's, not worth it at any price. Hence, the hiring of their own by M. They have been subtlely snorting with laughter ever since.

Is it just me that remembers that Dodi was being sued by his ex-fiance for dropping her to pursue Diana?

No, it's s not just you, when I read this I remembered. And yes, his father engineered the whole thing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I had a look at the DM and there seem to be another few more articles after this morning. There is a particularly cringe making one about H in therapy, eyes closed, arms crossed with hands resting on his shoulders - in a way, slightly reminiscent of the witch's pose when she addressed her old school. And now, London is a trigger...

Prince Harry has bared his soul and allowed cameras to film him undergoing an 'extraordinary' therapy session, during which he received treatment for anxiety attacks he said are triggered every time he flies into Britain.

The Duke of Sussex closed his eyes and tapped his chest during 'eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing' (EMDr) treatment that he told viewers was to cope with the trauma of feeling 'hunted' while on UK soil.

Harry said in his new mental health documentary series with Oprah Winfrey that he has 'always felt worried' for most of his life when he flies back to London, but only became aware of this after doing therapy.


I must say I find it extremely embarrassing to read this. So much for privacy! This is not helping him at all, in fact he makes things worse every time he talks about his perceived problems, and is certainly not helping people with mental health issues.

Here are the photos:

Idk. EMDR is an amazing therapy that actually works. I hadn’t gotten to that part yet, but I am excited for anyone to shed light on the eye movements and tapping and get it out there. It’s especially beneficial for processing trauma. I feel lucky I was able to stumble upon a therapist who does EMDR.
IIRC, I don't think I saw anything about how she thought of doing herself in - if she really meant it, I'm sure she would have got it all worked out. Or did she threaten to chuck herself down stairs? Remind me please.

My no 1 husband had an eye for a bargain - he saw a bottle of 500 aspirin that worked out at minimal cost per tablet - not that he ever had to take them and I used paracetamol. He stowed them in the kitchen cupboard, right at my eye level.

I felt so low there were times they seemed to be calling to me - `Swallow Me!' - just like Alice in Wonderland. I was so afraid I would do so, I asked him to hide them - I didn't want to know where they were. He angrily accused me of saying it just to upset him. His expression was quite frightening. I can't recall if he left the room or I did but he did move them later.

I still don't know what was going in that encounter - I left him as soon as I'd decided there really was no hope for the marriage. That was over 40 years ago.

Someone ending up dead in Montecito? Quite likely, I think. I wonder what the odds are for them doing each other in? He's undoubtedly stronger than her but he might have Doria to contend with as well. I wonder if their leather presents included a dog lead?

What do they say? Familiarity breeds contempt. This is what we are seeing in realtime with the public reaction. One of the reasons we can keep William on a pedestal is he maintains an aloofness and lack of (personal) availability to the public.

There is no way he was that bad off prior to meeting Mm. Look at all the times we've seen him laughing and being happy in the company of PW and Catherine.

This is all just deliberately staged nonsense for him to spout.

The problem is that he honestly believes what he's saying, he seems to believe what she has poured into his head. As she sits back and laughs because her evil plan seems to be working.

WBBM - just so you know, downing that whole bottle is likely to destroy your liver but not kill you so then you recover and your liver doesn't work anymore.

I tried the same once and they threaded a tube down my nose and filled me full of liquid charcoal (to neutralize the pills) and WOW my poops were BLACK the next couple days. At that point I was in the psych ward, fifteen was a rough age lol.

But do I go on TV and whine about it? No, I see it as a funny time that was character building. If I hadn't gone to the psych ward that week I wouldn't have realized the genuine difference between crazy people (closed ward) and troubled folks (open ward) which I've discussed here before.

As for EMDR, I am curious about it myself to resolve some issues that continue to trouble me but I guess I've put it on the back burner. I did try 3 sessions of hypno therapy (for a different issue) at $600 with no results and that was a learning experience.

Yes I'm fully aware EMDR is tooottttalllly different than hypno-therapy. For the record I did the hypno to try to stop a repetitive act (think nail-biting or trichotillomania) but like I said it didn't work.

His first therapist was M. She was able to stage a one woman intervention on his dunce mind. Intervening for #6 against the BRF.

@Lt Nyota Uhura,

I’m with you, I couldn’t imagine not helping my parents - thought never crossed my mind. Sure it was hard and it impacted my life in some ways, but as I saw it, that was just then what my life journey was supposed to be. Panic moments early on but I got into a workable groove fast. It was what it was. Plus I had two cousins and a couple of friends in similar boats — as any of us traveled for work or had to be abroad for work, the others of us would step in to watch their parents or mine along with nurses or caregivers. We made it work and are a supportive “family team” to each other to this day, In each case the siblings who did/do nothing have also acted in a juvenile manner like yours and mine have done.

I can’t imagine having all the resources Harry had, and not taking positive action to help a spouse.

I also think of NYC $500:000 baby shower Megs, and I think I know their game.

Ditto for paracetamol, death can take a very long time that way. I'm known two women who lost their sons that way - both mothers utterly broken.

A colleague once said he'd decided that when everything got too much, he'd take his sleeping bag, Scotch and sleeping tablets and head up Snowdon on a cold night.

I agreed that this was probably the most comfortable, tidy, way but then exclaimed `Hell! If I could still get up a mountain, life's still worth living!'

WBBM - I think a heroin OD would be the best way to go. I've never done intravenous drugs (heroin can also be snorted) and def not heroin (so I don't know how to score any) but I have confidence I could figure it out. The increase in fentanyl lacing would be an assist.

Guns are definitely the worst WORST way to go out and leaves a massive trauma for whomever comes upon the scene, super inconsiderate and terrible terrible consequences if it doesn't work.

I didn't know the Tylenol could really be fatal that badly, yikes. I am sad for those women you know - their sons OD'd and died from this? How long did it take for them to pass after their OD? I thought it would become a lifetime condition (damaged liver) but I guess I'm wrong?

Harry isn’t breaking the cycle, he is repeating his mother’s worst mistakes.

In the Morton book, Diana said Charles hired therapists to treat her, but Diana admits she was suspicious of them and rejected their help. She spent the rest of the book complaining how Charles and the Windsors never helped her. Harry says his family told him to get help (and maybe Harry acknowledged getting therapy in the Diana death interview with William, I can’t remember) but he rejected the idea, and has now done interviews complaining that his family didn’t help him.

Diana later said the Morton book was a cry for help, and she hoped Charles would read it, understand how badly he’d treated her, and come running back to her to make amends. Basically she hoped that after abusing him and his family in public that he would fall back in love with her. Diana really was deluded. Harry said pretty much the same thing. He hoped the Oprah interview would pave the way for talks and a renewed relationship with the Windsors.

And the Meghan’s mimicking of Diana goes on. This looks like first rate manipulation.

Diana threw herself down the stairs when pregnant with William in front of the Queen Mother. Lady C in her book The Real Diana says this was an exaggeration, Diana tripped, and made it into something bigger, like the passing a lemon slicer over her arms story. Meg claims to have been suicidal while pregnant with Archie.

Diana was chased by paparazzi (fact). Meghan is chased by the paparazzi and claims multiple break-ins (no evidence of paparazzi, police called for break-ins, but no charges/arrests are made.)

Harry claims Diana was derided for dating a non-white. Not true, the problem was that he was Muslim. (The Muslim world seemed to think she was killed because the “establishment” wouldn’t let a future king have a Muslim father in law.) Harry and Meghan have claimed racist attacks on Meghan from the beginning.

Diana followed the 90’s new-age/California trends of visiting astrologers, using healing crystals, and getting colonics to cure what ails you. Harry, married to a Californian and living in California, seems to be invested in the current trend of obsessive self analysis and public emotional purging.

Now Harry seems to think Meghan’s life is in danger. Harry sounds just as paranoid and deluded as Diana, and Meghan seems to be encouraging all of this. “I didn’t know how trapped I was until I met Meghan” is the crucial quote in my opinion.

I’m reminded of a Holocaust survivor’s testimony, which I searched for briefly but couldn’t find, so I will badly paraphrase. The survivor said people often asked if he/she received therapy to deal with their trauma. The survivor said no, and didn’t know anyone who had. It wasn’t a “thing” in those days, like it is now. You just put your head down and worked on rebuilding your life, because you had to.

I wonder if Harry has been diagnosed with Diana’s mental illness (suspected Borderline personality disorder) or any other, because he seems to have a very distorted view of his family, his childhood, and his place in the world. Therapy is supposed to give you the tools to handle your thoughts and reactions to life’s troubles, yet Harry seems more miserable now than ever. Whatever he is doing, it doesn’t seem to be working, and these interviews, which only benefit Oprah and her networks, are only making things worse for him in the long run.
AnT said…
@Lt Nyota Uhura,

Harry is either brainwashed thoroughly by the MM-Doria psychology team, or he is a little sh*t actor lying for money and sympathy. I could be convinced either way. Substances could be involved too.

I tend to think as a spoiled brat, he is “triggered” by the U.K. because he knows the public sees through him and Megs. And he can’t cope with not being the spoiled pitied indulged overgrown baby prince.

Mommy Megs and Granny Doris encourage him to remain the sulky teen drinking in his bedroom, perhaps. What ending do these two practiced female grifters have planned for the pesky prince? Especially now as their plans have likely cost them tikes and Royal wealth access?

So many great comments here. And so it begins, the beginning of the end.

There's not much left to be said from H or MM. They pushed the self destruct button with the OW interview and this new mental health docuseries ends with a great big Period at the end of the series.

Nothing left to say, nothing more to sell, and most importantly nearly no one will be listening anymore. Hope they enjoyed the quick rise and fall of their popularity in the spotlight.

As much as I've been along for the ride of watching these two destroy themselves, it's become a bit tedious and redundant now. There's nothing more to exploit or tease the public about.

MM must have memorized all information about Diana and has since acted it out to Harry. He is a really sick man, she knew, and took advantage of it for her own purposes. She is the kind of person that sucks the air out of a room and I'm tired of her breathing the same air as I breathe. Good riddance.

If he is brainwashed, it's because he wanted to be, IMO.

Bullying - when anyone points out their truth is a lie, their money is dirty, and they are living entirely off media

I’m on episode 3. This series is not for binging. I do find the professional athletes’ stories to be very interesting though. Elite athlete with debilitating conditions.

My housekeeper is here with her teenage daughter, so I’m pausing a lot because I’m not sure I want her daughter to have to hear some of this stuff.

As for Harry, it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of this is coming out right now, he is, after all the same age his mother was when she died. He also has known about the Panorama investigation, etc. It seems for him, a lot of this might be like a pimple coming to a head.

As for the suicide discussions, I interpreted it as she was describing intrusive thoughts. For me, I don’t doubt that an outsider joining the firm would feel isolated and stressed/depressed. So many women have described it. I’m thinking of Princess Grace right now.

I understand why people here think differently... just wanted to acknowledge that. And as I have mentioned before, my mentally ill sibling is married to a mentally ill person and they have children and have been married for over 10 years now, even though our side and his side believe they are awful together and better off divorced, but that will never happen. It’s a crazy marriage with crazy actions going on inside of the marriage and with police called and involuntary commitments and CPS called and there is no end in sight for this marriage, so no I don’t think HAMS is headed for divorce any time soon no matter what the rumors are.

I had a very close loved one take their life I guess I can still say “recently” so suicide is still very triggering for me. We had to look for them. I developed PTSD. My husband has an uncontrollable stress gag now that happens on occasion that stems from this.

It’s kind of what happened to me— when I became the age that my parents were or my kids became the age I was when I would remember certain unresolved issues..... that is when I had to go to therapy.


As an aside, @jenns, have you put in your facts that MM was born in 1981? I agree since the database is online that we can stop talking about how old she is.

Like everyone else i haven't watched the current no 6's PR Tsunami, but i caught the snippet about his narrative that the press went after him and his wife because she wasn't white just as the press went after Diana because she was datinb the non-white Dodi.

He seems to think or have been convinced that Dodi was either the love of Diana's life or at the very least a great love.

And that the press went after them for racist reasons.

It triggered the Kelly Fisher memory in my head because it wasn't just her presence and objection to entire thing, it was also the revelation that the Fayeds saw Diana as a trophy to be hunted and pursued her accordingly.

Diana was equally unmoved by any great emotion for Dodi beyond the great summer fling she was having with him. Her bestie Rosa Monkton and Richard Kay revealed how she laughed at them and mocked their gauche, nouveau riche tastes and ostentation and had reassured them repeatedly that it was just a fling and she was enjoying the attention.

Not to mention the various paps she kept tipping off to show herself throughout the summer.

Remember the boatload of paps she approached and promised a surprised revelation just before she openly canoodled with Dodi in a boat infront of them and then complained directly to some of them that the photos were too grainy??

This extract from Tina Brown's biography sums up the situation that the no 6s are willfully rewriting

https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail-weekend-magazine/20070609/281505041797445

Poor No 6 thinks Dodi was his mother's great love and pursued accordingly.

Clearly the Hasnat Khan story doesn't suit his victim narrative or he doesn't know about it and his wife hasn't told him. .

How i wish Richard Kay would go on GMA and give an interview specifically to Gayle King and tell the no 6s about Hasnat Khan and the fact that Dodi was barely a footnote in Diana's life.

Sorry, I edited my last entry and this sentence “It’s kind of what happened to me— when I became the age that my parents were or my kids became the age I was when I would remember certain unresolved issues..... that is when I had to go to therapy. “ should have been after the pimple coming to a head part.

Now it sounds disjointed. Uugh, can’t edit. Oh well.

My husband just came in ‘so, we don’t hear them talking about how happy they are with one another do we?’ Exactly. These two are so wrapped up in their schemes and media deception they can’t see how it looks: insane.

Further, it’s plainly obvious now that Meghan has convinced Harry that if she dies by suicide or media murder or a car crash (or whatever it is Harry is triggered by), then his ‘kids’ will grow up to be as miserable and pained as he is.

Of course, my husband says ‘sure but look at his brother. He’s the future king of England and not running around paranoid about Kate.’ Touché.

Whatever the case with Crazy Harry, Meghan -to give her credit- has realized the way to control Harry is to make everything all about him where he is the hero and #1. Not her, not her kids. She is just the supporting role in Harry’s grandiose thinking. By acting this out, Meghan gets what she wants - fame and financial security. The smirk he has when he exclaims Meghan didn’t off herself because of him turned my stomach. He *thinks* he has power over her, he *thinks* the narrative is real, he *thinks* she loves him more than her own life. Incredible.

What does it say, though, that this privileged newly married couple cannot cope and don’t like their jobs? It’s incredulous that at 40ish we are hearing a Romeo and Juliet teen saga, still.

It’s very clear with Harry that no one is home upstairs. Meghan is trying to make money off the victim narrative. They will have ghost child #2 then perfect family ‘happy days’ will be presented. We survived- you can too! Snake oil. And the show continues.

Ironic that H thinks by doing all this he's helping people yet look at our posts today. We're remembering the worst times in our lives. He'll be having that effect on millions of people who were just going about their ordinary business yesterday, shouldering any burdens they may have quietly. Without fuss. Without grandstanding.

Here's part of a poem by James Fenton that just has to be read today:

[...] Let's go over it all again
Let's rake over the dirt.
Let me pick that scab of yours.
Does it hurt?

Let's go over what went wrong -
How and why and when.
Let's go over what went wrong
Again and again.

We hurt each other badly once.
We said a lot of nasty stuff.
But lately I've been thinking how
I didn't hurt you enough.

Maybe there's more where that came from.
Something more malign.
Let me damage you again.
For the sake of auld lang syne.

Let me see you bleed again.
For the sake of auld lang syne.

I think not only is H seriously brainwashed but I wonder if the witch drugs him? I said upthread she had performed non surgical lobotomy but I wasn't joking. And I had a horrifying thought: do you think the witch is pushing him to commit suicide? It doesn't bear thinking about but nothing is impossible.
They're both very sick.
Snarkyatherbest said…
So in the next episode of Harry recovers he dresses up like dead mummy (maybe he can borrow his wife’s fakes) complete with links to Megan’s mirror to explore how dead mummy must have felt by the betrayal. All on the next Oprah pod cast.

I’m beginning to think he is too far gone in all of this. It will end in divorce (and the Mrs will ghost him so fast he will then need real therapy) or in widowhood and she would want the widow funeral images. She’s probably already has the dress picked out. I think she has manipulated him and he was willing prey. I am sure there were tons of interventions by the BRF particularly at the sandrigham summit but alas they can’t do much about it until he is willing to get help. I don’t trust the Hollywood therapist types. They see victims I mean patients with tons of money (hmmm is the Mrs getting a cut) so their mental health insurance won’t run out. And someone mentioned opioids. Hollywood therapists are notorious for feeding pills to their patients. If I’m right the BRF should swoop in with a mossad like operation scurry him away to an inpatient facility. Like his mummy I just don’t think he is long for his world.
This is what I posted late late last night:
"He needs some serious deprogramming. I get the feeling he is going to blame them for her death, heck, he already is in this first episode. These must be the "bombs" that were threatened? I see her fingerprints all over this, ripping that scab off time and time again, twisting and twisting, whispering into his ear "They killed your mother","They did it because she was dating someone of another race", "They're racist", "They hate me and they hate you because they're racist","They're going to do the same thing to me that they did to her, and drive me to suicide, because I'm black", "We must get away from them", etc etc, over and over and over. It's like a flipping cult-the mental manipulation, building emotional dependency, and isolation, not to mention the financial part of it. I think he was always a schmuck, but damn, she's really gotten into his head. But, maybe I'm wrong."

MM has everything to gain by doing this. It feels like she is driving him closer and closer to the edge while simultaneously cleaning him out, and he's been brainwashed and happily going along with it. Use him until you can't get anything more out of it and then discard. He's such a dupe.

@Puds, you are right-Everyone around him is profiting off of him all the while he's sitting there thinking it's all about him and he's some kind of saviour to humanity for baring his soul and taking out his family. Epic textbook case of manipulation-can't believe what I'm seeing, like a runaway train, as it just keeps going. I keep trying to think of movies or mystery episodes(Poirot, Miss Marple, Morse, etc) with similar storylines because it sure feels like I've seen this all before...and it didn't have a happy ending.
Elsbeth1847 said…
JennS and AnT - I think you are quite right about the tone of that suicide ideation as not particularly true.

I used to be on a suicide prevention line and we heard the real thing. I was there for quite some time (think years). There is a tone of voice, intensity, even when they don't have plan, that pulls the call into "this one is real". And, we got calls from people who were playing games. It was like they were reading a script of how they thought they should say but it lacked something in the telling when you were talking with them.

To me, this story has the sound of another not nailing it acting job.

It isn't just the overall tone but the whole other things which people have brought out as well like that she had access to doctors for her visits (pregnancy but even just in general). She could have asked to go to see someone as she had a sore throat and asked for help. The security people are not going to be in room with her when she was with her doctors for privacy reasons. She had options before asking him to get help for her. And, with his history (Head's Up for starters), he had names and phone numbers to call. (the snarky in me says: gosh, did they take his phone away too?). I can't imagine that where ever they were that there were no land lines.

And friends she could call and ask for help. Or even call on USA friends when she was at the baby shower - hey, she's far from the palace and they weren't the security there, right?

And, given that there wasn't a daily phone calls to all the different family members all the time (meaning that people were not physically isolating them from the public), he could have arranged seeing doctors and who would have known?



We also would get calls from the significant other - She says that IF I don't come back, she'll commit suicide. We would be giving them some information to tell the SO but also that ultimately, it is up the person - that if they are going to take their life, they will and that there are no magic words that if only you had said this or done that, poof, it would have happened.



Oh Floof said…
Acquitaine,

I remember the Kelly Fisher story, and the rest. Diana was using Dodi and the media to make Hasnat Khan jealous. Dr. Khan had broken off their relationship to marry a Muslim woman from his community. Diana had these deluded visions of her and Dr. Khan being roaming ambassadors to the world, helping people wherever they are needed (sound familiar?) It was a ridiculous idea. He was a heart surgeon. He wasn’t going to quit the job he studied and worked hard for just to follow her around the world and take pictures with needy people.

Muhammad alFayed created the story of Diana and Dodi as a great romance, because it hid his failures as a parent and any liability for having provided an inferior car and a drunk driver for their disastrous evening. The press ate it up because it was an easy story to sell, the Princess finally found her Prince Charming (he was a spoiled coke-head who bounced from project to project, living off daddy’s money with no direction in his life, who had a fiancé waiting in another boat). And no one wants to tell a negative story about a dead person, let alone a popular dead person, let alone a popular dead former Princess. But the truth was Diana was floundering at the time of her death. She had no direction in her life, and with no job or skills and being used to living the good life, she was only suitable to remarry to a wealthy man and do charity work. The divorce settlement money wasn’t enough to carry her through life at the standard she was used to. And being such a visible public figure was a turn off to many wealthy men who seek privacy and discretion, leaving the ones who would use her for her fame.

You guys are on fire.

I was thinking about the claim that he was told by his father about suffering.

I have had some experiences and was told later by someone who was there that X was said and I'm like: no. That was not said at all.

People don't always remember things correctly.

And context.

Remember the uproar of the color of the baby skin comment and it could have been said several different ways depending on context? Same thing. There is a world of difference between having You will suffer like I suffered at your age screamed at you in full anger and a conversational trying to tell a kid that in your life, no matter the age, there is some suffering and pain going to happen and that is reality.



Christine said…
Meghan is shockingly horrid. She's... there aren't words really. To be towards the end of your pregnancy and describing to your husband, how you would kill yourself and subsequently your child???? She's a bad, bad woman. Recently when Kanye West came out and said Kim had abortion pills in her hand and he stopped her, everyone was so aghast. This isn't 1 million times worse? She would literally do anything to mess with Harry's head and anyone who points it out to him, she will eliminate (ghost). Frightening!

Also, Harry was talking about the incident happening just prior to the Royal Albert Hall appearance. Hey dipsh*t, the reason Meghan was all upset and crying and you were angry is because you two were BOOED at the appearance. I'm finished with Harry. I wouldn't step over him in the street. I know that's rough, but there it is.

I definitely think she's setting him up to jump off the ledge.
Setting herself up to be a widow.

He needs an intervention, but it probably wouldn't work because he's not ready to hear it yet.

This was all fun and games to her. But it's time for the fun and games to stop now. This isn't funny anymore.

Mel, your right. It isn't funny at all anymore. It's very scary actually. There is a darkness coming here. I refuse to watch anything with Harry but I read the synopsis and I wasn't as much shocked as I was frightened.

I think we all need mental help now LOL!

Christine. Harry has an app for that 😉$$
Does anyone else see the horrible irony in `Racism killed my mum' (I paraphrase) when the final tragic act of Diana's life was set in motion by somebody of Pakistani origin, albeit one born in S. London who converted to evangelical Christianity in his teens and graduated from King Alfred's College, then the College of Higher Education in Winchester?

BTW King Alf's is now the University of Winchester.

One thousand percent agree. This is not going to end well and it's scary. I had a terrible feeling about this duo, but it was earlier in the week and I wrote how I felt on the previous page.

A person in therapy should be helped into identifying a issue and work on that issue. But coming to an acceptance should be the end result. Harry talking about triggers to past events which is not healthy. Horse hooves, flash bulbs, etc., can not be explained if a person has come to acceptance.

I'm sure we all understand grieving a loss, it's part of the human experience, but 24 years later and it's still impacting a person's life, means, they haven't traveled down the path of therapy to it's final conclusion and hasn't been helped.

I truly believe MM is pushing and pushing until he finally falls off a cliff, something terrible will happen and it will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

If this isn’t a poster board for ‘separate these two immediately’ I don’t know what is.

Neither of them are responsible for the others’ well being, happiness or sadness. That isn’t a thing. They are not children, and even children who grow properly learn to have autonomy and be emotionally self sufficient because their parents guide them with a steady hand.

Notice how they never ever say ‘Meghan made me unhappy, or Harry made me unhappy.’ ‘I wanted to move and Harry said no, and it made me angry.’ ‘I didn’t want to go to the gala and Harry said no we have too and it made me angry and suicidal.’ The RF Biz, gave them the perfect excuse and ‘out’ rather than placing the blame where it lies - between the toxicity of the both of them. They still act like the RF is their big bad evil parent, like toddlers. Meghan couldn’t control Harry when their jobs were controlled by a greater institution or biz. Now Harry can’t control himself because his job is at the hands of exploiter #1- Oprah. Same exact thing. The result will be different because Oprah is not his family.
Grisham said…
WBBM, who was Pakistani? Dodi was born in Egypt, but maybe you are talking about someone else?
I too am convinced that M & Doria have been working on him - and that if he does kill himself the response will be along the lines of `Oops, what a shame, now where's the money?'

It's hideous - they pull his strings and he twitches.

Never ever asks himself `What's really going on here?'

He's passed that point a long time back. Perhaps he asked the question of Markle and got the answer that suited her.

An honest therapist will `discharge' you in good time when you've reached a point of awareness, once they can remove your `training wheels' as it were. Otherwise you risk getting into dependency relationship with them.
I'm talking about Martin Bashir. Born in Wandsworth, SW London.

I agree with every word of what you wrote about H. Deprogramming is
the word - I've used it before too - and as @Snarkyatherbest said, "the BRF should swoop in with a mossad like operation scurry him away to an inpatient facility". I think the SAS would be equal to the task too. Perhaps a facility like Guantanamo for deprogramming would work.
Or contract out the snatch to Mossad itself? Get it done at one remove?
Awww now H is saying some of Archie's first words were "Grandma Diana". Heaven help me. eyeroll
ADF said…
You are all amazing - love all of the insights and analysis!

I’m trying to follow the suicide narrative. She woke up in the middle of the night, anxious and distraught. Said she couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to kill herself. Described details of her plan. She says she doesn’t want to be another woman who leaves him by following through on her plan. They talk. Hours pass. That evening she zips on sequins and heels up and off they go to be photographed for an appearance, where they were booed.

So, that’s 24 hours of suicidal ideation.

Was that it? Just one anxious night, and let’s not forget unpredictable pregnancy hormones (if those were in fact coursing through her, who knows?).

When in this narrative was she storming off to HR? Same day? Before this pivotal moment? After?

She’s so smart but can’t ask her husband to make a phone call? Even to her midwife or doctor? Emergency same day appointment? Phone consult with Rx phoned in to pharmacy? How can someone so conniving and methodical in her research be so inept?

A friend’s teenager is ricocheting back and forth from stability to instability, a lot of self hate, insecurity, verbal statements about hurting herself. This has been the case for more than a year, at least two visits to the psych ER and one week-long stay, plus six weeks at a program to try to stabilize with meds.

The point being — these types of thoughts don’t just leave in your head when you’re truly being weighed down by anxiety and/or depression. They fester. They grow like mildew in the shower. They are always there.

I think she said that ONCE that one night and he is so raw and vulnerable that it did the trick of supporting her claims about the situation in the Royal Family being untenable, etc. because no one ever gave her everything she wanted and that was not acceptable.

So, yeah, I call BS on her anguish since that kind of distress is usually not a one-off.
Christine said…
ADF- Agreed. I think the suicide narrative night was pushed onto the Royal Albert Hall booing for the following night.

I'll tell ya, if a friend or let alone your lover who was heavily pregnant came to you and methodically told you that they wanted to kill themselves and exactly how they were going to do it......... are you trying to feed me that you would just give them a pat on the shoulders, think they are not acting crazy, but totally 'sober' and just work it out and then go to Royal Albert Hall the next day??? Come on. Harry could have at the bare minimum called Meghan's obstetrician. It's not like the dullard had no idea what to do and later was ashamed at his response.

Frankly, I would have been highly concerned on multiple levels and one of them being anger. In my opinion, it's like threatening to kill a baby. Will Harry ever take another look at this woman? At this point she could shoot up a mall and he'd blame it on Charles.

@jessica,

H also needs to be committed. Now he's saying that among Archie's first words were "Grandma Diana." Archie was speaking five syllables as his first words? Also, what happened to "crocodile?" Not enough syllables for Master Archie?
***********************************
I need to vent. After reading the DM this morning, with articles about all of the people on the Oprah interview, including Oprah's rape saga, Glenn Close discussing her childhood trauma, Harry spouting off about his mother's death yet again, and Lady GaGa getting into the act, now I'm depressed, too.

I've never had depression, but after reading all of these tales of woe, my mood is in the dumpster today. I can imagine how people with real depression must feel today after reading about these stars spouting off about "their truth."

I think this Oprah gabfest is doing more harm than good. I wonder how many people feel less emotionally healthy today, after listening to these stories or reading about them.

Oprah, Harry and MM are playing with fire here. They have no background in psychology, yet preach to the masses. I wonder when, not if, a truly depressed person will take their life because of the head games this trio is playing.

Note: I have extreme sympathy for any woman (or man) who has been physically or mentally abused, and hope that they can find the help that they need to recover from their trauma. However, I don't want to listen to a bunch of wealthy stars telling their very personal stories in public. It reeks of self promotion. Do we need to know absolutely everything about these stars? Is nothing sacred or private anymore? What good comes from telling the world about your childhood trauma, except for getting air time and a few clicks.

I wish all of these people would just shut up. It's gone beyond being annoying and into extremely dangerous territory.

Rant over. Thank you for listening.

@Lt, Uhura,

"We all know A**chie's first words were: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."

Thanks for the laugh! Next will be that for Christmas, Archie has memorized War and Peace for Harry, because, you know, H was the greatest soldier of all time.




I'm sure somebody's must have already said that there's no way `Swing Boy' has only just turned 2?

Did she say anything at all about actually planning her own end? How she thought of doing it?
A reminder from Dorothy Parker might be appropriate -

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.

Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

If she did say it, I bet it was just for effect. Narcissists drive others to suicide but don't go there themselves.

Very odd - this morning (Friday) when I got up the DM was PLASTERED (plastered!!) with Prince Harry Whinging stories and I just checked - I don't see a one.

I think the BRF must have placed a call to somebody, the coverage has dramatically reduced in just four hours, I don't see a single story "above the fold" so to speak.
Might she try reading `Black Beauty' to Archie, on the assumption that it's all about her?

Only to discover it's Anna Sewell's book, `translated from the Equine'?

Daniela Elser: Key Princess Diana detail Prince Harry is ignoring after Panorama investigation findings
21 May, 2021 06:00 PM6 minutes to read

Prince William has responded to report that found that a BBC journalist used 'deceitful behavior' to secure an explosive interview with Princess Diana in 1995.@KensingtonRoyal
news.com.au
By: Daniela Elser
OPINION:

How old were you when you realised that your parents were people? Fallible, imperfect people?

That's a question which Prince William may well have a ready response to – but his younger brother Prince Harry might struggle to answer.

Yesterday both men – who are both fathers now too – have put out deeply moving, separate statements reacting to the Dyson inquiry findings that BBC reporter Martin Bashir had used "deceitful behaviour" to persuade their mother Diana, Princess of Wales to take part in the infamous 1995 Panorama interview.

The differences between the two princes' approaches could not be more pronounced or disparate. Sure, there's their use of language (William's "my" and "I" versus Harry's "we") and the format (an emotional video versus a press release) but what is most interesting here is the question of blame.

Or more specifically, how much culpability rests with the fourth estate?

While William called out the BBC, becoming the first member of the royal family to have ever taken aim at the national broadcaster in this fashion, he also made the point that "a free press have never been more important."

However, to Harry's mind, there is a very clear villain in this decades-long tragedy – the media. In his statement, the now California-based royal claimed the "ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life" and that "Our mother lost her life because of this, and nothing has changed."

And this is where we get to the very, very tricky point, because his is now the lone dissenting royal voice on the question of where fault lies for Diana's death.

The instinct to want to be able to clearly apportion blame is entirely understandable; deeply human even. The facts, however, paint a different picture.

Blind Item #1
The A list celebrity you either love or hate, and really you should hate, is doing her best to get a photo op of a double date with the alliterate one. The whole plan is to have the double date and then have a cry fest in Kneepads because the alliterate one is pregnant and having a baby and the firebrand celebrity lost her baby, so then we will feel sorry for her and she can go back to playing the victim.

@xxxxx,

Thanks for the good news story. All of us need a laugh or just uplifting news now and then.

Oh, and I forgot to say in my rant that we've got a great community here, and listening to the troubles of posters here is completely different than these stars going on TV to air their woes. As internet friends, we've held each other up when we're down in the dumps or going through a crisis, and that is so rare these days.

Daniela Elser: Prince William's use of 'I' and 'my' in Diana statement will break Harry's heart

21 May, 2021 04:35 AM6 minutes to read

Part1

Prince William has responded to report that found that a BBC journalist used 'deceitful behavior' to secure an explosive interview with Princess Diana in 1995.
By: Daniela Elser

OPINION:
Devastating on-camera appearances have been part and parcel of palace life for decades now. Prince Charles started this dubious trend in 1994 when he admitted to Jonathan Dimbleby he had cheated on wife Diana, Princess of Wales, who infamously followed in his bespoke-shod stead the following year with her "three of us in the marriage" BBC outpouring.

In March, it was their son Prince Harry's turn – although really he was the second-string act to wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's scene-stealing turn.

However, now Prince William has joined their number having released a deeply emotional and devastating video addressing the findings of the BBC inquiry into his mother's Panorama appearance.

Overnight, the findings of an inquiry conducted by Lord Dyson into the Panorama interview were released, finding that journalist Martin Bashir had used "deceitful behaviour" to get the Princess to agree to the extraordinary sit-down interview. (Bashir used a graphic designer to unwittingly mock up fake bank statements which purported to prove to Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, and later Diana herself, that people close to the royal were being paid by the security services and the media.)

The rift between Harry and William can only widen from here.

While Prince Harry put out a statement movingly describing her as an "incredible woman" who "was resilient, brave and unquestionably honest", William has just blown the world's socks off.

Reading from papers in his hand, the chosen backdrop some nondescript palace exterior, barely contained emotion rippling below the surface, the 38-year-old delivered a searing, historic statement to camera saying that her Panorama interview "was a major contribution to making my parents' relationship worse and has since hurt countless others".

He said: "The BBC's failures contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation that I remember from those final years with her."
He also said that Diana had been "failed" by the national broadcaster.

"These failings … not only let my mother down, and my family down; they let the public down too."

Make no mistake here: The world just watched William step up and assume total moral and public leadership of the royal family from a public perspective.

And Harry? Oh poor Harry has been left trailing in his wake.

The fact that William chose to do a video is remarkable. While he has delivered statements supporting his various causes straight down the barrel, this is the first time that any member of the royal house has delivered a reaction of this nature to camera. (The Queen's televised addresses notwithstanding nor Charles' recent touching statement after the death of his father, Prince Philip.)

Another marked departure from the royal playbooks is the simmering emotion on clear show here. What stiff upper lip?

While Harry and Meghan have cast the royal family as a clutch of essentially cold fish, William has just gone a way to make that characterisation seem a tad redundant.

Every time I read one of these articles I can't tell if they are being really sloppy or just dropping their idea of a truth bomb.

When he started therapy because (they argued) so they were together seems to keep changing. It was four years (made me think about the whole when did they start seeing each other moveable date) and this now ways five. "... done therapy now for 'four and a bit, five years.'"

2017 to 2021 is 4 tops.

Part 2
In choosing to go down this route, rather than only putting out a strongly worded written missive, William was sending a clear message: That he has no intention of hewing to the status quo and will act how he thinks best. (This calls to mind the fact he was the only member of the house of Windsor to address the Sussexes' racism claims when asked directly by the press, offering up a forceful "We're very much not a racist family.")

One of the most conspicuous differences between William and Harry's reactions lies in their respective language choices. The elder Wales prince used "my mother," "my view" and "I" while the younger's crucially deployed "our mother". Those two words from William – "I" and "my" – are so telling.

Not once in his piece to camera does William mention Harry, even in the most oblique terms. There is no equivocation here: The Duke of Cambridge has just effectively excised his younger, wayward sibling from the narrative.

Given the consideration and time that goes into every single detail (heck, the choice of William's insipid blazer for the video probably involved several brow-furrowing, lengthy meetings) this very conscious expunging of Harry was no oversight.

If there was any doubt over who has just been "crowned", by Fleet Street anyway, in the Cambridge vs Sussex fracas then look no further.

A winner has been anointed with William and his powerful video dominating at least three of Friday's frontages in the UK with Harry essentially ignored in the maelstrom.

The word that comes to mind today is "irrelevance". Harry left the UK to escape his elder brother's shadow, to strike out on his own. However, the irony here is that in that quest to define himself and forge his own independent identity, he seems to have given William the breathing room to assert himself in a completely new – and let's be honest, thrilling – way.

Despite both men putting out statements as loving, devoted sons who lost a cherished mother, Harry's words have somehow ended up as only a footnote to William's outpouring.

What is also noteworthy here is the paradigm shift around Diana's memory.


Me: Wow!

Oh F off the pair of you - I served with you in Afghanistan Harry, you were entitled and rude then, but no one dared say it. Why don't you do the world a favor and do one - the unsuccessful heir to the spare and the unsuccessful actress. Seems you have a lot in common.

Narcs DO NOT kill themselves. They sip others pain and delight when they harm someone. The victims of Narcs kill themselves or often want to. Then the Narc moves on to another supply without one care from all the damage done in their wake.

One word encapsulates this, is (emotional) vampire. This why is there are so many of these stupid Vampire movies that I never watch. Maybe one in the 1980s.

But lets admit how vampirism is going on all the time. #6WF is a Vampire, sucking those heavenly Royal juices out of dumb #6.If only she could be sent to The Tower as in the upcoming Anne Boleyn production.
I don't understand the Oprah series and horrific claims everyone is making about getting raped and neglect.

What is the point of this?

I don't think Harry cares about anything at all, ever- not even himself. This guy is going through the motions. He's in the unique position where he has money, and if he didn't he'd be like any other screwed up human with a lack of morals and ethics walking this planet.

We are only seeing this guy because of his money. Remember that.

I don't think I've seen any mention of it but that's exactly what I thought. The child looks more like 3 at least. Let's not forget, though, that Archie is a precocious child and must also be in the 95th percentile for height.

Very odd - this morning (Friday) when I got up the DM was PLASTERED (plastered!!) with Prince Harry Whinging stories and I just checked - I don't see a one.

@hunter, I've just looked at the DM online and on the app and all the stories are there. Maybe there was a glitch.




@maneki,

I think that hunter was saying that the stories were at the top of the page this morning, and now they are near the bottom, not that they had disappeared. Her comment that the stories were no longer "above the fold" explains that.

Perhaps the point is that the pandemic made us see how unimportant celebs are in the scheme of things

But that’s bad for business! So the O fest is to turn the rich celebs we are all sick of, into poor suffering folks we should cry about and donate to.p as thy whimper on their custom made furniture.

Victimization and self-pity seem to be the new wealth and coinage of celebrity. Oprah is helping them all bathe in it, like a platoon of little Cleopatras. So instead of noticing their smug, air-kissed, private-jetting front-of-the-line-ness and the estates they kept buying while the world buckled, instead of imagining them on Rodeo drive and poolside you will only see their tears. Oh they are sad! They matter!

Yes, I am feeling extremely jaded today.

@Ant, it's okay to be extremely jaded-I've found it allows one's self to see through the BS. Btw, I think you are right on all counts. Celebs, athletes, pro sports, influencers...they're all unimportant when the sh-t hits the fan. I reckon a lot of people came to the same conclusion.
@Maneki,

I just checked the US version of the DM. All of the stories dropped to near the bottom of the page. Maybe it just a difference between the US and UK editions? They were at the very top this morning.

The first story now is Oprah's rape story, almost 1/3rd down the page, and the next article, about Harry and Oprah, is at about the 1/2 page point.

Is this what you're seeing?

@jenn,

Thanks for reading my rant. I am so sick of these two idiots and grifters.
JerseyGirl said…
I've been thinking about something H said about how PC made his children suffer and that he also suffered at the hands of the press.

It was nearly immediately after Diana's funeral that the press was asked and respected the wishes of the RF to give both boys the chance at privacy during those crucial years that they attended school. Those boys were both given that so there was no suffering at the hands of the press/media during that time.


So I guess recollections may vary.

Once again a case of lattes and it dozen pastries to you for "frau of terror" and "puny smut peddlers". Perfection.

Those of you on Heygo May have encountered Florent in Paris. I did his Paris by night tour last week in which he showed the front façade of the Paris Ritz hotel, owned by Mohammed al Fayed And Diana’s final destination before the fatal accident. We’ve got the granny video footage of her in the elevator leaving the hotel after dinner for the faithful ride. The place is a fortress, and if Dodi had only heated his fathers place to stay in his room at the Ritz for the night rather than going out onto the street, they both likely would be alive today. Jody was absolutely insistent that they go to his flat to retrieve an item, ostensibly The gear is yellow diamond ring he had picked up from Tiffany’s earlier that day for Diana. Although it was not expressly identified as an engagement ring, that’s what everyone assumed. If only they had gone when it was daylight, after everyone had had a chance to sober up, they would be alive. Dodi was a pernicious Coke head and was most likely off his face, and whatever Diana’s feelings were about leaving the hotel, she went along with it. They were both acutely aware that paparazzi had the hotel staked out, so there is no other conclusion to be drawn then both of them insisted on being seen and photographed for their own purposes. This could’ve gone so many other ways, if even one if this couple had been more sensible and discreet. If the ring absolutely had to be presented that evening, Dodi Could have sent somebody from the hotel to fetch it from his apartment. Henry Paul had been off duty for sometime, and had been drinking, I find it incredible to imagine that there was not a single other unimpaired hotel employee who would have been available and on duty to drive them. Why didn’t the security detail, the sole survivor of the accident because he himself in, The sustaining significant injuries… Why wasn’t he more forceful in a professional capacity about the inadvisability of going out under the conditions? I get the feeling that nobody said no to Dodi, Ever, particularly not when he was in a Coke field rage. So we’ve got two employees who should have known better and put their feet down unable to do so because they were essentially bullied into that car by their material and vindictive boss. If Diana had Insisted that she was tired and wanted to go upstairs to their room, she’d be here now probably. Having been stupid enough to get into the vehicle with a very impaired driver and her coked up boyfriend, she didn’t take the basic precaution of wearing a seatbelt. Harry can spin this all he wants, but it was bad judgment coupled with physics that resulted in his mothers death, not racism, not religious bigotry, not prince Philip, but this mismatch couples own insatiable thirst for their own publicity. This mismatched couple that were both using each other with this romance of convenience. At what point does tragedy become farce?

@Jocelyn'sBellinis

It must be the US edition then that shifted the stories to near the bottom because I've checked again and the first five stories on the app and the online edition are about H. I think these stories have reached saturation point (I just glance at the headlines/ a few lines and just read some comments).

Oh Lord, I am so far behind in my reading, I don’t think I will ever catch up, especially not on the phone.
The memory of his dead mother, the beloved but fatally flawed Diana, Is all that Harry has to pedal to make money. It’s disgusting. He’s so much like her, but not in the ways he thinks. He’s got all of her damage, all of her self destructive, immature and vindictive tendencies… And none of her goodness. Sad but true. The good that was Diana resides in William, Who learned the lessons his mother was trying to teach by taking him and his brother to aids clinics and homeless shelters. Harry got what was left. Presuming, in a best case scenario, that Diana had survived to repent of her behavior with Dodi and dump him...If she were here today to be a grandmother to her grandchildren, what would she make of Harry behavior now, And his choice of wife? Even excepting that she had significant mental issues, I can’t believe that she would be supportive of Harry’s current behavior. It’s horrific to lose a Mother so young, but now it just feels like H is milking her memory for cash. Any real grief evaporated years ago, And now it’s all gimme gimme gimme. So much for the Vow he undertook With his brother to lay his mothers memory to rest, and that was only a few years ago. What a difference a few years makes.

What a great comment! It's difficult to watch people who are famous, fabulously wealthy and living in multi-million dollar homes, cry on a public stage about very personal trials that they have experienced.

Chrissy Teigen is a perfect example of that. A short, dignified announcement about her miscarriage would be appropriate because she's a star. Her bombarding us with every little detail nearly everyday is slimy and extremely undignified. Does anybody really want to know about a stranger's miscarriage, written in extreme detail?

Yes, it seems to be a trend among the wealthy and famous to try to cash in on their very private and personal experiences. I blame the Kardashians. They started this trend.

A Quiet Interlude

 Not much appears to be going on. Living Legends came and went without fanfare ... what's the next event?   Super Bowl - Sunday February 11th?  Oscar's - March 10th?   In the mean time, some things are still rolling along in various starts and stops like Samantha's law suit. Or tax season is about to begin in the US.  The IRS just never goes away.  Nor do bills (utility, cable, mortgage, food, cars, security, landscape people, cleaning people, koi person and so on).  There's always another one.  Elsewhere others just continue to glide forward without a real hint of being disrupted by some news out of California.   That would be the new King and Queen or the Prince/Princess of Wales.   Yes there are health risks which seemed to come out of nowhere.  But.  The difference is that these people are calmly living their lives with minimal drama.  

As Time Passes and We Get Older

 I started thinking about how time passes when reading some of the articles about the birthday.  It was interesting to think about it from the different points of view.  Besides, it kind of fits as a follow up the last post (the whole saga of can the two brothers reunite). So there is the requisite article about how he will be getting all kinds of money willed to him from his great-grandmother.  There were stories about Princess Anne as trustee (and not allowing earliest access to it all).  Whether or not any or all of this is true (there was money for him and/or other kids) has been debated with claims she actually died owing money with the Queen paying the debts to avoid scandal.  Don't know but I seem to remember that royal estates are shrouded from the public so we may not (ever) know. However, strange things like assisting in a book after repeated denials have popped up in legal papers so nothing is ever really predicable.   We are also seein...

The Opening Act of New Adventures in Retail

 I keep thinking things will settle down to the lazy days of spring where the weather is gorgeous and there is a certain sense of peacefulness.  New flowers are coming out. increasing daylight so people can be outside/play and thinking gardening thoughts.  And life is quiet.  Calm. And then something happens like a comet shooting across the sky.  (Out of nowhere it arrives and then leaves almost as quickly.)   An update to a law suit.  Video of the website is released (but doesn't actually promote any specific product which can be purchased from the website).  A delay and then jam is given out (but to whom and possible more importantly - who did not make the list?).  Trophies almost fall (oops).  Information slips out like when the official date of beginning USA residency.  (now, isn't that interesting?) With them, it's always something in play or simmering just below the surface.  The diversity of the endeavors is really ...
