Did Prince Harry secretly meet up with his dude friends in Las Vegas & London?

Prince Harry of Belair? Prince Harry gets interviewed by James Corden on Tourist bus in Los Angeles

Just FYI: I don’t believe either of the two stories we’re about to discuss. Neither makes much sense, but I guess they’re worth discussing because a certain gossip storyline is being pushed and I think I know why. The storyline? Harry is homesick and henpecked and he misses spending time with his bros, he misses the military and he’s starting to make moves away from Meghan. The people who buy that are the people who *want* to believe that. First story: Harry secretly traveled to a military base outside of Las Vegas to hang out with some friends.

Prince Harry has reportedly been paying secret visits to a US air force base after he was stripped of his military patronages when he and Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family. Even though Harry doesn’t have an official role in the UK Army, he has allegedly been meeting up with old friends from when he was an Apache helicopter pilot, according to The Sun.

It is believed that two of his old colleagues are now at Nellis base near Las Vegas – where the United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor programme (commonly known as TOPGUN) are trained.

A source told the publication: ‘Harry has kept in touch with them so when they knew he was moving to the States they invited him to come and see them. He’s made informal visits to the air base where they are and they’ve been out for drinks in their down time.’

[From The Daily Mail]

The rest of that story was just a repetition of how Harry is banned from wearing his military uniforms now, because he was punished for marrying a Black American woman. As if Harry needs to wear his British Army uniform to… hang out with friends on or near an American military base? Anyway, I doubt all of this. He’s been in Montecito and I feel like we definitely would have heard about it if he was anywhere near Las Vegas. As for the second story: Homesick Harry reconnected with old British chums while he was in the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral in April. And we’re just hearing about it now?

Friends of Prince Harry believe that while back in Britain he’s planning to reconnect with old pals from the life he left behind. I can reveal that the Duke of Sussex arranged a surprise ‘lads’ lunch’ when he was last in the country – for Prince Philip’s funeral in April – leading his friends to expect more socialising now he has returned to unveil the statue to Princess Diana.

Though lunch with your old mates may be normal for most people, many of Harry’s closest friends have felt sidelined since his 2018 wedding and his drastic move to California. But his secret get-together with members of his former inner circle has revived hopes that he hasn’t been lost to his ultra-woke new life after all.

‘After the wedding Harry cut everyone from the UK off,’ says my source. ‘But now he’s at last showing signs of wanting to reconnect with his old life. His friends are really excited, they think that the old Harry is coming back out of his shell. It sounds like he’s starting to realise that he doesn’t have to abandon his old life to enjoy a new one in California with Meghan. The two worlds he now occupies are not mutually exclusive for his friends, though they may well be for his family.’

For while Harry might be keen to reconnect with his friends, the rift with his brother seems deeper than ever. My source says that William was conspicuous by his absence from the April lunch, which was arranged specifically to include some of the male guests and ushers from Harry’s wedding party. The Duke of Cambridge was best man at the Windsor ceremony. Others in Harry’s circle who were key players at the ceremony include so-called ‘deputy best man’ Jack Mann, Charlie van Straubenzee, LA pal Arthur Landon, and Harry’s ‘surrogate godfather’ Mark Dyer, who owns a chain of West London pubs.

With coronavirus restrictions in full force they could not have their get-together in Dyer’s Fulham boozer Brook House, which might have been a favoured option.

My source adds: ‘It’s sad that William was not included in Harry’s plans for a lads’ lunch during the last visit. The only Royals who seemed to see a lot of him were Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. But then, Harry had a strange ‘deputy’ best man arrangement at his wedding, so as far back as then he can’t have been privately counting William as his best friend any more.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Once again, would Harry have been able to get out of Windsor for several hours just to hang out with old friends whom he had already cut off? I don’t know. It sounds like wishful thinking and it sounds like Harry’s old “friends” are trying to drive a wedge between Harry and Meghan… and Harry and William. I honestly don’t get the play here, at all, so… whatever.

    the play is they just want to practice racism on all fronts with abandon

    • Elizabeth Regina says:

      Harry has a family now. It seems like the penny hasn’t dropped for some people. He has a wife and two children whose colour racists don’t like but tough. They cannot be erased from history no matter how much the press and the establishment wishes it so.

  2. Lauren says:

    I’m with you Kaiser. If Harry would have met anyone in the UK in April we would have known about it because his family and their staff haven’t shut up about what was said or not said at the funeral. As for Harry meeting dude friend in Vegas? The Fail and the other rags have no idea what Harry and Meghan are up to in the US. They have managed to get just a few pap pics here and there while they were in California and have had to recycle or made up new stories because they have nothing on the Sussexes.

    • BayTampaBay says:

      Is there not a pandemic still going on with very tight restrictions STILL in place in the UK?

  3. Cecilia says:

    These stories only show 1 thing: they desperately want harry the bachelor back. Instead of making up nonsense about harry they should watch whats going on with the Cambridges because that power struggle between them and their diverging pr makes for some delicious gossip.

    • Margaret says:

      There is nothing delicious about the shamebridges. Sorry they turn me off.

    • AD says:

      Watch the operative words used ” belive” and planning”. “Friends of Prince Harry believe that while back in Britain he’s planning to reconnect with….”, Meaning all is based on insinuations, fiction, conjecture, and more.

      I have been paying close attention to how these articles are worded. They are careful in how they craft them. Things like royal experst suggests, believe, and so on and so forth. No facts just opinions, and projections because that is how they want it to be.

  4. girl_ninja says:

    This story definitely sounds like bull. It’s a way to take yet another dig at Meghan and cast aspersions on their marriage/relationship. They have to constantly be talking about Harry and Meghan so this is another angle for them.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      girl_ninja, probably to cover the fact that it’s Baldimort and Duct Tape Kate* are the ones with a failing marriage. This is never going to work.

      *Coined in a post I read yesterday.

  5. Lizzie says:

    I can see Harry making the quick trip to LV to see old friends. What I don’t get is why are UK military working in LV? Maybe they are retired and US hired them as civilian trainers? I can also imagine a lunch in London with good friends. I think it didn’t leak because prince elegant was excluded.

    • MsIam says:

      The US does joint training with lots of countries. Harry did training in San Diego when he was in the military. That’s when the “strip pool” or whatever incident occurred.

    • Sid says:

      I believe UK military members come to the US for special joint training sessions sometimes. IIRC Harry himself did it a couple of times when he still in the army.

    • Lizzie says:

      Thank you for the info! The story makes more sense to me now.

    • Chaine says:

      ITA with you @Lizzie. I can believe he has seen old friends when the chance arose. It would be normal to miss them after moving to another country, especially with the pandemic shutting down other visiting possibilities. I just don’t think “seeing old army buddies for the weekend” means anything bad about a person’s marriage.

      • Ripley says:

        Exactly what I was thinking. When I lived in Santa Barbara and worked in Montecito, I was casually dating somebody in Vegas. We saw each other twice and sometimes three times a month alternating driving to see each other. It’s a super easy drive and I could see Meghan encouraging him to continue established friendships from his years in the military and also with IG. Vegas for all of it’s shine and shenanigans knows how to protect the high rollers. And if they’re true friends, probably are, no reason for leaks.

    • Brandy Alexander says:

      Actually, there is some sort of arrangements with the Royal Air Force (I think that’s their name?) to have their personnel based at Nellis in Las Vegas. I live in Las Vegas, and became friends with a couple where the husband was based here for about 7 years. They just got reassigned to another base on the west coast, so I don’t think it’s just a training thing. I had no idea about that arrangement until met them. But when they would have parties, there were lots of UK military there.

      • Saucy&Sassy says:

        Brandy Alexander, well that explains why the BM chose LV for the story. They don’t know anything, they’re just basing their story on one fact–that Royal Air Force members are stationed at Nellis.

      • Brandy Alexander says:

        Saucy, that’s a possibility. It could be true too though, I mean, honestly – why would Harry visiting friends even be a story? People are allowed to have friends after they get married. What a dumb angle to a story, even if it is real.

  6. Mich says:

    I’m confused. Why would it be a big deal if Harry kept up with his friends? Is the claim that he cut everyone out of his life when he married controlling Meghan?

    • taris says:

      like kaiser said, some of these stories are tailored towards people who *want* to believe this shit: that harry is actually really miserable and homesick but meghan… in their minds, harry will abandon his wife and children eventually, return to his “duty” in the monarchy, and everything will be as it was before. it’s quite scary when you think about it.
      (i’m reminded of what harry said to dax about the ownership people in the UK feel towards him + the mail’s headline last friday: ‘harry’s home!’)

      no matter how many times and how many ways harry makes it clear to these fools that he has no regrets and actually feels free in cali (he stressed this on dax’s podcast + on his apple doc), there are still some people in the UK who will never accept that.

    • thaisajs says:

      This is so stupid. Harry goes to a backyard bbq with some old friends who live near Vegas and what, he’s supposed to have a photo call and press release or something?

  7. EnormousCoat says:

    So these are both stories about how Great Britain misses Harry. They want this to be true. I do think Harry enjoyed his military service and probably does miss that part of his life, but sneaking out to a U.S. military base (?!?) makes no damn sense. And a “secret get together with his former inner circle”? Jesus. Do they want him to be the next James Bond or something? I smell desperation.

    • Lizzie says:

      Maybe they wanted to both catch up and propose he join them for a surprise training session? IDK, just throwing it out there.

  8. ShazBot says:

    I would totally buy that he had lunch with actual friends while in London and now bitter, non-friends are trying to twist it like this.

  9. SaraTor says:

    Or maybe he did meet up with a couple of friends while in the UK? Seems pretty normal. I doubt he has cut off every friend he’s ever had. But all that extra stuff, about how his friends think the old Harry is coming back, etc. etc. is clearly BS that’s being sprinkled on top of a lunch date (which was probably never a boozy “lads lunch” at all). Maybe it was just … lunch.

  10. Becks1 says:

    I dont really believe either story*, but if you look at the DM story a little closer, and ignore the misogyny (“harry can meet up with his friends bc Meghan isn’t there!”) it’s interesting that it makes such a point of saying William was excluded, and that their rift was as far back as their wedding.

    Like this almost seems to me that one of Harry’s friends was talking to a reporter and trying to make the point that Harry is still in contact with his UK friends, he even arranged a special lunch for them all, oh good ol’ Harry is back, but he still hates William. He’s not THAT much “back.”

    I don’t know, it just seems like there is a big emphasis on the fact that William was not part of this get together. He’s persona non grata for Harry right now.

    I don’t think there was a private lunch, he didn’t really have time for one, right? But its an interesting story if you look at the emphasis on William.

    *I guess Harry may be visiting military friends in the US, he and Meghan can operate in total stealth mode when they want to, but I just don’t think he’s traveling to Vegas during a pandemic.

    • Anners says:

      This was my take, too. Someone wants to point out that the rift between Harry and Wills goes way back (which we already knew, I think).

      I also doubt that Harry has been traveling to LV during the pandemic, especially as he had a pregnant wife at home and they’d already been through a heart wrenching miscarriage. I just don’t think he’d put Meghan and his unborn child at greater risk of exposure.

    • Ginger says:

      Good point Becks. This person could have tried to make a point that Harry still has contact with his old friends (that are not racist like that Skippy guy) and the DM were spinning it their way. And William is completely cut off.

      Meghan has seen her old friends, why is it such a big deal if Harry sees his? I don’t think he would potentially put his family at risk during a pandemic to see friends in Vegas, but that’s just me. Harry and Meghan have taken this virus seriously since the beginning.

    • Nic919 says:

      If there is a military base visit I bet it’s related to Invictus. He wouldn’t just randomly visit a US military base.

  11. MsIam says:

    I’m not seeing the big deal here? Harry can’t reconnect with old friends from the military? And as far as the meeting in London, aren’t a couple of those guys rumored to be Archies god parents? If anything this shows the derangers theories about Meghan cutting Harry off from all his friends was just another lie.

    • Becks1 says:

      I don’t think these stories are true but if they were they wouldn’t be a big deal. It’s the spin around them that is the annoying part. Harry is recovering from his “ultra woke” california life or whatever. Maybe he just wanted to say hi to old friends?

    • Mrs.Krabapple says:

      Agreed. If it’s true, what’s the big deal? It would only show that Meghan is NOT “forcing” Harry to cut ties with everyone. And agree with Becks1 too — it’s the spin that is nauseating. “The two worlds he now occupies are not mutually exclusive for his friends, though they may well be for his family” — so Harry can/should continue to connect with Britain, but not Meghan.

  12. To me, these aren’t so much false stories, as they are non stories. Meghan and Harry strike me as two smart, independent, genial, warm-hearted people with the right to a private life. I don’t see either of them feeling they have to live their lives as if they are joined at the hip. I hope Harry is connecting and socializing privately. Why shouldn’t he? Living a private life is NOT sneaking! A well balanced life should certainly allow his having lunch, dinner, or a few drinks with friends. I think this is KP taking something they’ve vaguely heard about Harry and trying to spin it to make it look like he picked the lock on his Meghan-shackles to sneak out. Please! He’s a grown man with male friends. Let’s not buy in to the KP and 🐀Rota BS.

    • Sid says:

      Yeah, for me both stories, if they are true, are a big “so what?” Dude sets up lunch with a few friends during a visit back to his old home. Big whoop. Dude finds out a couple of old friends are temporarily based a very short flight away from his new home and flies out to see them. Okay. These are things normal people do everyday. The BM might want to spin it, but ultimately it shows that the narrative they tried to push about poor isolated Harry being forced to give up his friends is all nonsense.

    • Betsy says:

      Yeah. He’s allowed to see friends! He’s allowed to have meals away from Meghan! She probably encourages it, being that she’s a sane human.

    • Jan says:

      James said Harry called and said let’s do a fun piece to cheer people up.
      You have seen Harry more in Cali than you have seen Meghan.
      Meghan sure have a lot lot of racist men and women pissing their pants.
      The new tv station that piers thought he was getting a job at fell through, the ratings are dreadful, a kid’s cartoon had higher ratings.
      So far ITV did not cave in yet, even with piers saying the people want him back.
      Last time Harry was in England they said he spent all his time talking to Meghan.
      I hope he is going into some sort of quarantine, when he returns, two children not vaccinated and the Delta variant so contagious, even if you’re vaccinated the WHO is saying you should still wear a mask.
      The CDC gave into politics, a group of thirty people at a party in Australia 24 got COVID and the 6 that were vaccinated didn’t.

    • NiqGee says:

      I think the most major assumptions about these stories are:

      1. That Harry had actually cut these people off in the first place and now needs to reconnect after escaping (if temporarily) the shackles of Meghan. As people get older and life gets more complicated and schedules diverge, there is more space in their togetherness. Between careers/businesses, spouses/families and other random things that take up daily life, friends have to actively schedule time together. Add the Pandemic and lockdowns to the mix and you have friends and relatives who are largely digital. I think Harry talks to his friends regularly and they visit when they can, but it’s entirely private because he has always tried to be private about his private life. It’s the weird relationship between the palace and the media that made things public.

      2. The assumption that William and Harry were that close to begin with. They are 3 years a part in age. Which means that there was a point when Harry was too young to have shared interests with William. They would have few mutual friends, and then at the point when they could have shared teenaged interests, William left Eton for his gap year and then Scotland. By the time William left Scotland, Harry was in the Army and was in Afghanistan. They were hardly in the same place. Except for childhood friends, they have their own entire social and friend groups. The notion by the media that they were each other’s best friends and constantly in each other’s pockets doesn’t add up. Even most twins don’t have the same friendship groups all the time and they have the benefit of being the same age in the same years at school.

  13. Amy Bee says:

    I think this is more about the press missing Harry than him missing his old life. He told us he was unhappy in his old life. What these journalists don’t get is, if he has cut off some of his friends, it was to protect his wife from them.

  14. Eurydice says:

    Huh, it’s like they’ve forgotten that Covid exists. I know someone training at Nellis and the base was in various stages of lockdown for most of last year – not just to keep covid out, but because they had a flare-up on the base. And I don’t think Harry would go traveling anywhere during the health emergency we had last year and the first months of this year.

  15. CHIMES@MIDNIGHT says:

    Secretly spiriting away to Vegas? Oh my. If only Kate had been there. This never would have happened on her watch.

  16. Jay says:

    I could certainly see Harry making visits to American military bases as part of his work with veterans, or for the many projects he has going on, or even, yes, to visit friends once it was safer to do so. If anything, though, that shows how comfortable and established he is in the US now, far from “homesick Harry”.

    I think if he was really hitting the Vegas strip with a whole squad of lads we would have heard about it, though. Whoever wrote this is desperate to invoke Harry’s single bachelor days, and it’s embarrassing.

    So far, only one of the royal brothers has been caught dad dancing while his wife was home with a baby, and it wasn’t Harry.

    • Concern Fae says:

      Also, military bases do have nice places to takes friends to lunch: officer’s clubs. I can totally see Harry making a quick trip to meet up with friends and make connections with people active in US veterans groups. You need to have those personal connections to really get things done.

      I grew up in the DC area and the amount of cross service networking you see at all sorts of events (kids soccer games, bible study groups, LARPs) is very high. Harry could be looking to old UK friends to make introductions to US people it would be good for him to know. Harry strikes me as someone who wants to know the right person, not the top person.

      • booboocita says:

        Networking is an incredibly useful skill, and one that should be developed in everyone wanting to serve the community, get ahead in business, etc., etc. I’ll admit, it’s a skill I don’t have. H & M appear to have wedded that skill to tremendous personal charisma and high intelligence, making them a formidable couple.

        I think a large part of Bulliam’s problems connecting with others is that not only does he lack Harry’s networking skills, he doesn’t WANT them. He seems to think that just being HIM, the FFK, is enough. People should want to connect with him; he doesn’t need to reach out and connect with anyone else first. A fundamentally reserved or shy person, like the Queen, can develop networking skills with determination and guidance, and given some time. PwBT doesn’t seem to have the self-discipline, the self-knowledge, or the patience, to see the need to develop people skills, let alone recognize that he lacks them. Poor deluded jackass.

  17. Over it says:

    I want to know if he was on quarantine and wasn’t there for that long how is he having these lunches? And Harry isn’t being held prisoner by Megs, I am sure he is free to go wherever he wants. He chooses to spend time with his family. These people are just awful.

    • Legalese says:

      The funeral was on Saturday and he left on Tuesday morning. So he had three or so days out of quarantine. Not sure I believe the lunch story but he was definitely doing something during that time, otherwise he would have left immediately. I guess the question is what.

      • Jan says:

        He does have charities in England, he is not the type of guy that turns up every 8 years.
        Harry is a man, no longer a working royal, so his time is his own.

  18. Snuffles says:

    I’m sure they are just guessing and making shit up.

    But I’m sure Harry is staying connected with his friends and probably has made friends and hangs out with them in California. It seems like a number of his old friends also moved to California. I’m sure Meghan has been reconnecting with all of her friends too. They have a whole ass private life that the tabloids aren’t privy to. The tabs are just making educated guesses, filling in the blanks with the way they want to spin things.

  19. Yvette says:

    Why would Harry have to sneak out to visit friends in the UK or the US? And why in the world would any woman deny her husband time to spend with military friends still doing doing a job that meant so much to her husband? I don’t understand the ‘Harry misses his old friends and old bachelor ways’ narrative at all. Harry the Lad is now Harry the Dad and they’re staying away from that truth because it would justify his defensive attitude against William for his wife and children. Can’t have that now, can we?

    • Sid says:

      ITA. Also, the BM spent all this time trying to convince people that Meghan was isolating Harry from his friends. Now they get gossip saying that Harry has been meeting up with his friends all along (when possible) so they have to spin it in some way or else it just shows that the narrative they were pushing all along is false.

  20. Chelsea says:

    So the first story definitely doesn’t make sense because if he wanted to hang out with some of his military friends he doesn’t need to leave the state. Dean Stott, who he trained with when he first joined the army, moved to California last year and Meghan even sent him a person’s copy of the bench. He also trained for months in SoCal before his second tour of Afghanistan so im sure he probably knows some US troops based in California.

    Also: does the Fail not get that Harry cutting off every friend he had in the UK would literally negate half of the reporing they have done on him using “sources cloee to Harry”? But we also know it’s not true because JJ Chalmers and David Wiseman, two former Invictus competitors who are friende of his, have said that he checks in regularly. Harry literally did a cameo for JJ when he was on Strictly a few months back! Did everyone forget?

  21. Janice Hill says:

    If I had been photographed naked in Las Vegas, as Harry was, I would never go near the place again. (Don’t get me wrong. I’d like to see Harry naked again. He has a beautiful body).

  22. OriginalLeigh says:

    Even if it’s true, why would this be a big deal and what would it prove? You don’t have to cut off all of your old friends just because you’re happily married??? They’re really reaching…

  23. Lowrider says:

    As soon as Harry touched down in London, the press will start spinning stories.

  24. Ann says:

    I don’t see why it’s an issue if he meets up with a few old friends either in the States or in the UK. He’s a married father, not a prisoner.

  25. Sunday says:

    These are very specific (made up) stories, a US military base in Vegas (not one of the many in Cali), and a boys lunch. My hunch is that Harry is trying to catch someone leaking to prove a bigger point, either someone from his old circle or a specific courtier or employee. He set the trap and they took the bait by going to the press. Now we wait for the fallout.

  26. Cj says:

    Yes. Because during all of Harry’s recent public speaking about his health, the one thing we all thought was “there’s a man who can’t come out of his shell” *rolls eyes so hard they fall out*

    At least you know no one in the palace was a source because they’ve been wishing he’d crawl back into it…

  27. Sofia says:

    He can obviously meet his friends and it’s no biggie if he does but what annoys me is the spin around it – “See how “great” Harry is without that evil American???!?”

  28. Snuffles says:

    The messages they are trying to get out with this story:

    Meghan is controlling Harry’s every move and he’s trying to escape, even just for a moment.

    We want Harry back in the UK living his old bachelor life and being a tabloid staple.

  29. ModeratelyWealthy says:

    Maybe this is part of the “several” plans the courtiers have of reuniting the brothers Lacey said…it all comes down to Meghan getting sick of this BS and leaving.

    Honestely though, Harry is not a prisioner, no matter how much Rota wants him to be. I am sure Meghan would be okay with him meeting old friends, which is a normal thing to do in any marriage, but hey, Rota wants you to believe Meghan forbad him. Pitiful

  30. Mia says:

    They’re flinging stories around like wet pasta – hoping something will stick

  31. Lili says:

    okay i get the las vega thing, he needs to keep up his fight hours so maybe he was just checking the lay of the land to see if he can get some flight our in. its not a big deal. maybe later on he might get a small plane and fly around. as for the friends the time around his wedding was hectic, tours and adjusting to married life. then he basically had to find away out. now things are settling in nicely he is reconnecting. there is nothing dodgy with what he is doing. so his friends might want to be careful of how they spin these stories. because at the moment they arent looking like true friends.

  32. Catherine says:

    I believe it is possible he had lunch with those friends before he returned to Cali in April. The lie is that the people they listed are NOT the people he cut off. Those are the people he remained tight with. The ones that are loyal to him. The tabloids quite happily told us the names of the people who were cut off. They know he is still tight with the group they named so they could lie and say him meeting with them represented some sort or reconciliation when it doesn’t. In January 2020, after the Sandringham summit and in March 2020 after the farewell tour there were stories that he got together with that group because they were seen at Mark Dyer’s restaurant. So I think they are taking that and guessing about what he may have done in April. Nobody seems to have any info about what he did after the funeral on Saturday and when he left London on Monday. So they may have been digging around for info since then. We know now all the stories they spun about meetings with Charles, William and Kate were BS. I do think he saw the Queen before he left. As for the Nellis Air Force Base thing. That is so out of left field I don’t know what to make of it but clearly they were eager to find a way to remind people of Harry’s party boy Vegas days. If he did go, visiting a military base is hardly the same as partying in Vegas. They are definitely trying to create the perception of a divide in the Sussexes relationship.

  33. EliseM says:

    I am throwing down the Bullshit flag on these two stories.

  34. Aud says:

    I think the stories here can be true and also not mean anything about Harry and Meghan’s relationship. I can believe that he misses old friends and feels he overreacted by cutting off everyone when he left the UK. And maybe now he’s reconnecting with old friends who he misses. I don’t think it says anything about the state of his marriage, I think he’d be hiding these meetings from the media not his wife. I’m sure Meghan wants him to have friends.

    • Saucy&Sassy says:

      Aud, if the friends are the onse who made racist comments about Meghan, no he is not connecting with them. He has friends in the UK who remained supportive of Meghan and him and those are the friends he would connect with. The BM is undoubtedly getting quotes from the racist old friends for the articles. I’m sure there are sour grapes in that group.

  35. equality says:

    So is the spin supposed to be that Meghan keeps Harry under lock and key? He took a “secret” trip to Las Vegas and she didn’t notice he was gone for several hours? Or he broke the chains and then willingly returned to be held prisoner after visiting friends? If she is so controlling why would he be allowed to travel to London without her 3 times?

    No such thing as an “informal” visit to a military installation, especially as a VIP.

    To me if this is true…this sounds like Meghan telling Harry- “work on your friendships…do not give up on the good people who were in your life before me…make the effort now we are not under siege anymore. You see that I’ve got my peeps and how I cultivate and maintain those relationships even with babies and whole lot of shit to tend to.

    I think both of these things are possible, but not the strange narrative that it means he’s breaking away from Meghan. If he went to see friends at the the Air Force base in Vegas, and that’s a big IF, he certainly would have told Meghan about, and she would have been supportive. The same with having lunch with friends in London. Harry didn’t cut off ALL of his friends after his marriage. Only the ones who were not accepting of Meghan. He made some of his friends, including Charlie and Mark, Archie’s godparents.

    “Tea on the 5” always brings a smile to my face. Followed immediately by a little giggle as I remember what happens next … “Harry! Clean it up!” “Maybe tea on the 5 isn’t such a good idea.”

    Thanks for reminding me of that

    Have these journalists forgotten what “quarantine” means?!

    It doesnt mean meeting up with groups of people. It doesnt mean going out for lunches. It doesnt mean hanging out with people in your home unless they are also quarantining.

    We’re stuck in this bloody pandemic because people dont actually follow the health guidance (well that and we need to vaccine more countries asap) – quarantine means keep to yourself until the quarantine is over and for gods sake if you are a public figure you should be setting a good example. Given Prince Harry’s charity work and work with VaxLive recently, and that he seems to have a strong sense of morals, I dont imagine he’s breaking his quarantine as willy nilly as the papers are making out.

    I do believe harry had sometime met with his friends. But, those good friends will not gossip and mention it to the press.
    So this is bullsh*t.

    He had wean out his old racist friends. They are willie friends now not him.

    I’m more curious about the “deputy best man” bit. Did William threaten to not stand up for Harry at his wedding to Meghan, so Harry had to assign a backup? Was William lazy AF and not do the usual best man things like plan the bachelor party, and someone else was forced to step up? So many questions!

  43. Sarah says:

    A couple of things:

    I believe he connected with his friends in Las Vegas.

    I also believe he connected with his friends in London

    What I want to do know is who snitched?

    Everything else is fluff and that’s what the writers do, they take basic information and then add a bunch of fluff.

    Who are the examples of toxic masculinity that actually WANT to believe this story? You have GOT to get a grip, this is gross!

    I can’t think of anything less sexy than a father who sneaks off to Vegas to hang out with dudes, behind his wife’s back. To be clear, I don’t even kind of believe this story, (and I don’t have a problem with Vegas, I have had many good times there, it’s the implication that Harry is lying to Meghan, and has a squadron of dudes who think it’s cool to lie to your partner that has miffed me) , and I feel that anyone who wants it to be true needs to take some alone time and figure out why you are this broken.
