Description

Prince Harry has completed a five-day trip to the UK, to get ready for the Invictus Games and to attend charity events. The engagements started on Tuesday in London before moving on to Birmingham. But as always, much of the focus was on family tensions and whether there are any signs of bridges being built between the returning Sussexes and their royal relations. The BBC’s Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph followed every twist and turn of the visit as it unfolded.

It’s always been about him even before he arrived. The Invictus was merely a PR exercise, but no one was interested. Now he’s been told he’s a liar, which is worse than being entitled. He needs more money from the king!

This is how what you see is either ignored or manipulated . (1) There was a clip of Harry giving his speech at Chatham House where Harry said he sees some people here that he 's known for a while, and some of us have LESS HAIR. NO ONE LAUGHED. Harry stopped what he was saying and looked up as if trying to will the audience to laugh and there was stone cold silence ❗ ( 2) There was a second clip of Harry at a hospital standing in front of some nurse who just cheered at what seemed to be at Harry , it wasn't. Seconds before the cheering moment, Harry asked the nurses isn't this the best place to work and they respond by cheering. So they weren't cheering Harry, but the video had been edited to make it look like they were cheering Harry when they weren't❗

The only reason he met with the king is because he failed at everything else

He is not a royal anymore and it was his choice. That remark that there will be two royal houses, one in Britain one in America is ridiculous. There will only be one Royal house and that’s in Britain.

Harry and Meaghan caused unnecessary drama with this visit. If the goal was for the King to spend time with his son and grandchildren they have now proven that they can enter the country basically under cover and safely. They wanted drama and attention and they manufactured it.

Boohoo, they were given 4 weeks to respond to whether they wanted to stay at Buckingham Palace, a place where I would think all sorts of arrangements and an army of staff kick into gear when a royal is staying? ofcourse the palace staff need sufficient prior notice, cause if something goes wrong, who do you think would be to blame. Literally, Harry has less respect for the staff than one would an airbnb booking.

Yes, too much trouble and confusion. I'm exhausted by them.
