In the past three years, Prince Harry has lost and buried (entombed) two beloved grandparents and watched his father’s hat ceremony. He celebrated his grandmother’s historic reign and he showed up for the unveiling of a statue of his mother. His family has tried everything, every trick, every guilt trip, every manipulation to get Harry to come back and they’re all out of “reasons.” The Windsors and the British media are now stuck in the toxic reality they alone created, with the charismatic Sussexes pushed out, exiled and smeared, and only the charisma vacuum white royals remaining. Which goes a long way towards explaining why Camilla Tominey would piss out this column: “If William wants to be the King’s liege man, he must forgive Harry.” Ah, yes, that’s the only thing keeping Harry away! William won’t forgive him! Some highlights from Tominey’s latest overwrought piece:
Liege man: When the Prince of Wales pledged to be the King’s “liege man of life and limb” at the Coronation on Saturday, the 74-year-old monarch could not hide his emotion as he was kissed on the cheek by his eldest son. “Thank you, William,” he replied, conscious, perhaps, of the huge gulf that now exists between his two “darling boys”.
William’s coronation concert speech: It was also helpful for Prince William to describe his father as someone who “always understood that people of all faiths, all backgrounds, and all communities, deserve to be celebrated and supported”, not just in light of growing calls for the royals to make slavery reparations but also in response to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s racism claims.
On the Windsors’ racism: It is no secret that both the King and the Prince of Wales are disappointed that the Duke and Duchess felt the need to make such high-profile and damaging allegations. Yet still, the King found it in his heart to raise a toast to the fourth birthday of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie on Saturday – just hours after his youngest son had hot-footed it to Heathrow Airport straight after the two-hour service at Westminster Abbey to be reunited with his family in Montecito, California.
Charles has been in communication with the Sussexes: While the King may be willing to forgive, with palace insiders confirming there had been “genuine cooperation” with the Sussexes in the lead-up to the Coronation, there remains little hope of reconciliation with Prince William who was “absolutely horrified” by what Prince Harry wrote about him and his wife Kate in his bombshell autobiography, Spare. The Duke is expecting an apology – but the Prince wants one first. But if Prince William is to fulfil his role as his father’s liege man of life and limb, he may be required to rise above for the sake of the Crown.
William needs to be less wrathful: For what we learned from Sunday night’s speech was how pivotal the Prince and Princess of Wales are going to be to the success of the reign of Charles III. Regardless of his own hurt feelings, Prince William, who has a reputation for being rather stubborn at times, cannot stand in the way of a royal rapprochement if it’s in the best long-term interests of the monarchy. That is the sort of personal sacrifice required of someone whose coat of arms carries the motto “Ich dien” (I serve).
The bigger man: He certainly couldn’t be in a better place both personally and professionally to be the bigger man. Supported by the calming influence of his level-headed wife and mellowed by his three children, William has grown in stature precisely because he has proved himself to be such a safe pair of hands when dealing with the various crises that have faced the House of Windsor in recent years….If Prince William wants to be seen as the son the King can rely on then that must start – however hard – with repairing his broken bonds with his brother. Just as the King has his eldest son’s support, the Prince of Wales has the support of the King.
William must forgive: Prince William knows better than anyone the pain the King is going through over what Prince Harry has done. But if he really wants to prove that he has as much of his late grandmother in him as his father, then he is going to have to summon QEII levels of magnanimity to ensure the Carolean era characterises the Royals as a nuclear family, rather than a thermonuclear one.
As always, the royal rota treats the Windsors like they’re in control of every situation, especially the Sussexes. Like the Sussexes’ exile is entirely the Windsors’ call, and if the Windsors wanted the Sussexes back, then the Sussexes would jump to it. Even in Tominey’s fantasist scenario where William extends a meaningful olive branch to his brother, nothing would change. Let’s also be real: that would never even happen. William is too stupid, too short-sighted, too incandescent with rage to actually be the bigger man. Oh well!

The is realizing they lost and now they will focus on trying to repair the damage. But it is too little, too late.
ITA. The Sussexes are no longer going to be moneymakers for them (especially considering WME is involved now). Their only option is to finally start spilling all of the dirt they have on William, because THAT will get clicks and bring in ££ again. The same tired old rehashing of the negative crap about Harry and Meghan got repetitive and exhausting three years ago.
The standpoint of these articles is ‘interesting’. Why is it that it is william who must forgive Harry? For what exactly? I don’t recall Harry physically attacking him or abusing his wife (‘kindly keep your fingers out of my face’. Badass Meghan knows her worth, not will not put up with Harry talking harsh to her and no way is she going allow his feckless brother to do it either). Anyway, I digress. There was a line in that rolling stones article about william taking time out from his smear campaign against his younger brother. This line took my breath away b/c I dont know how/why I hadnt thought about it this way before.
The future king and big brother, who is supposed to be looking out for him had enlisted the help of british rags to wage a smear campaign against his brother and his wife – that drove her to near suicide. And because that was not enough, he bad-mouthed her to Harry’s face (so has his father btw – dont even get me started on him) and allowed a staff member file false bullying claims against her and to break NDA to help the dailyfail win their case against her. Never mind that william, charles, andy, even anne are known to be horrible to their staff. But apparently 5am emails are what breaks the camel’s back. Geezus. Harry has done nothing wrong, except tell his life story. (Although someone on twitter said he swore at his father at the time he had pulled his security and that’s why he wouldnt take his calls – suspect this is pure speculation). Anyway, Someone help me understand why william needs to forgive Harry.
PW “proved himself to be such a safe pair of hands when dealing with the various crises”? How exactly? What a load of manure.
My eyes popped out at that one.
Tominey is a liar. That’s all I’ve got for this waste of space, low life example of a human being. She’s spent the last few days desperately trying to get someone, anyone, to talk 💩 about Harry during her tv appearances and she’s failed miserably. She’s verbal poison, passive aggressive and, I suspect, certifiably insane on the topic of Harry.
Is Tominey the one that doesn’t appear to have a neck?
Sorry – not her. My apologies.
We know that if Willie did reach a hand out and apologize (for the terrible shizz he did to Meghan) and Harry & Meghan were to forgive him …
Then the media would spin it as Willie: “mature” “peacemaking” “duty bound” “bigger person.” And Harry would be “spiteful” “slow to forgive” “selfish” “over emotional like Diana” etc etc
Harry can’t win. The truth is Lil Willie acted abominably and he must apologize. Harry can decide if he wants to forgive him or not. They need Harry more than he needs them.
Here is the thing that Tominey does not get: Even if KFCIII and Peggington made a true & correct apology to the Sussexes, Harry and Meghan are NOT moving back permanently to England. They could come back for long summer visits when the children are out of school but they have no secure home to stay in.
What does Tominey really think a true & correct apology from KFCIII and Peggington will accomplish in regards to the British Tabloid media?
What no one seems to get. Even if the family all get back together. That doesn’t mean that Harry is going to go back to being a working royal. That ship has sailed. Yeah Harry would like to have his family. But not the firm. And I doubt if Harry would ever even consider moving back to England. His wife and kids would be in danger constantly over there.
RIGHT?!?
“William has grown in stature precisely because he has proved himself to be such a safe pair of hands when dealing with the various crises that have faced the House of Windsor in recent years”
This is straight up nonsense, he has done literally nothing but make situations worse.
“I bet everyone’s like, ‘I’ve got coronavirus, I’m dying,’ and you’re like, ‘No, you’ve just got a cough,’” the Duke of Cambridge quipped to first responder Joe Mooney, according to video footage of their exchange. He added: “It does seem quite dramatic about coronavirus at the moment. Is it being a little hyped up, do you think, by the media?” Mr Safe Pair of Hands in Ireland, March 2020
LMAO right? The jackass CAUSED at least half of the crises in the first place.
Didn’t William stomp off in a huff and refuse to so much as sit down to lunch with his father and brother the day of the “Sandringham Summit?” Even at the request of the Queen? And since then, William has only grown MORE angry and bitter.
There is no way on god’s green earth that William will ever apologize to Harry or Meghan. And even if he did, H&M are too smart to trust him ever again.
Tominey is generally delusional, but this piece in particular is SUPER delusional.
George would liege man. William owes harry an apology
More so he owes meghan an apology. Which is exactly what harry wants. An apology to his wife.
Kate needs to apologize to Meghan as well
Genuine cooperation? Then why the hysterics about seating the Sussexes in Iceland, etc? Trying to rewrite history there, or the press was going off-piste with all their will they/won’t they coverage.
What Willy needs to do is apologize to Meghan. That’s what Pegs needs to do. Letting go of his jealousy of Harry will do him a world of good too but the apology is most important.
So does Kate. But hell will freeze over before either one of them do any such thing.
And idk if William is constitutionally capable of letting go of his jealousy of Harry. I think it consumes him, and only gets worse with time…every time Harry has a successful new project, wins an award, appears looking gorgeous like he did on Saturday, etc. And the major one: William is still trapped while Harry broke free and is living the life they both wanted. I really don’t think William can control it; his life seems to revolve around hating and trashing Harry. If he stopped thinking about Harry, he’d be an empty shell.
“Please William, we need our cash cows back and Charles is willing to play ball but Future King Incandescent, you’re not going to get in the way of our money. We desperately need them because you all are boring and drab. You need to hurry up and “forgive” Harry because if you don’t, we’ll have to turn on you and start talking about you and Kate”They’re giving orders again and this is predictable because Meghan not showing up, lost them money and Harry leaving that quickly felt like a finale. These people are clowns. These people backed the wrong horse. The Wales’s know that press is angry and that’s why the kids are constantly pimped out now. That press has been tugging this leashes for months now.
Yep. This is the media saying “we helped you drive the Sussexes out, but we played ourselves. Fix the mess we made or else.”
Bingo! In a nutshell.
And given that there is no way Bulliam wants to fix this mess or indeed can fix this mess, the ‘or else’ is going to get very interesting.
Anyone want any popcorn?
That is it exactly!!
It felt like the finale. The series ender. Totally. Harry is back to the old cheerful man dripping with charisma and charm. He’s done and dusted with this battle and on to his next thing.
They’re the “old news” in Harry’s life and that scares them!
Lol is this the media telling William to make amends and not “forgive” but ask for forgiveness from his brother so they can have him back in salty island? Seems like it. 😂
Yep. They did his bidding but they lost out in the end because they lost their cash cows and access to world superstars. They’re giving William orders.
William/the Wales will not survive the their orders. They are pulling in Rose closer because the news about his affair will be coming out sooner or later, and at that time, the Press will be insinuating and milking their dollars about their relationship and separation and divorce and mistress. The press is closing in on him. They need a new scapegoat and Harry
/Meg might not be it anymore.
Even IF William gets on his bare knees and begs Meghan for forgiveness, Harry won’t be back. And that is the part these royal rats don’t seem to grasp.
The RR has to be feeling grim for this type of story to come out. Harry has been portrayed as the devil and his wife as a she devil American! The BM know they are totally screwed. I hope Harry’s lawsuits come back to haunt the media. What they’ve done to H+M is criminal.
It’s easy to say that William has “grown in stature” when he is 6’3” tall
In my family 6’3″ is small potatoes lol. I would love to see Prince William & his wife try to stand toe to toe with me and my family hahaha. My father is Irish and German and the “Royal” family would be minced meat if they came up against mine lol.
Yup. They’ve been trying SO hard to sell the coronation as a success, but no one outside of the royalists is buying it. The fact that Tominey of all people is writing this shows that the big event didn’t land the way they wanted.
By the end of today if Harry has any kind of statement read in the opening of the mirror trial they’ll be saying the opposite!
“This is the final straw!! Harry will never be forgiven..blah blah.”
If the worst Royal reporters/haters are consistent the next few months writing these kind of pieces then I’ll believe they are sending a sign to the palace…
But I guarantee as soon as will and Harry have any kind of conversation it will be leaked to the press and they would absolutely give full credit to will just like they tried to do at the jubilee..
Prince William must “beg for Harry and particularly Meghan’a forgiveness for all the sh*t he’s pulled to truly be the king’s liege man”
Fixed it for you, woman who always gets things wrong 🙄
Will looks rough in the photo like he did not shave.
So will the new queen like the old Queen make him shave? Hmm.
Well, picking through the horse manure, what she’s really saying is that the only possible way for Harry to come back, even for just a visit, is if Charles personally invites him and Meghan and Archie and Lili. And if Charles personally communicates to the public, the press, the RF, and specifically William, that Harry and his family are welcome and loved. Of course, that will never happen – but the press have always been dreamers.
A safe pair of hands. Puleeze, the same guy who headed the flop tour in the Caribbean where he got fired live on tv? The head of Earth flop? Even hate for hire CT cannot pull that one off.
Well at least he seems capable of operating a pen. We know the bar is low.
Seriously, I challenge her to name one situation in which William made things better instead of worse
They saw that lost revenue and got ticked. Harry didn’t get snubbed, he bounced so quick there was nothing for it. And Harry isn’t worried about his trifling brother and sister in law.
You won’t catch that man at anymore RF events unless someone dies. He’s not going to visit them in August. He’s not doing the Christmas walks. He won’t be coming to Commonwealth services. You all treated him and his family like crap, enjoy the fallout.
I am still mad at how they did that man’s wreath when they (Meghan and him) wanted to show they cared about Remembrance Day in the UK.
I will say this again, the Queen was the only one in that family with sense. I think if she had lived longer, she would have forced a broken peace so to speak. She showed how much she loved Harry, Meghan, and the kids by making sure they were not hidden away for the Jubbly.
I think after the briefings to the press during the funeral that Harry was like I am done.
Also didn’t Tominey just say last week how ticked off Charles and the courtiers were cause Harry wasn’t calling them back? Now Charles and Harry are good? LMAO!
They really do behave as if everything they’ve written before was in disappearing ink and we’ll forget about all of the contradictory stories they put out as recently as a week ago!
I agree. Plus I bet it wasn’t the Queen who had refused the wreath to be placed. It was prob William or their father. Prob William. Cause she loved Harry. I doubt she’d do that to him.
William should be the “bigger” person, but he’s a very small man.
No way he apologizes for the wrongs he’s committed, because he doesn’t think he’s ever been wrong. And that’s that.
Forgive Harry for what? “Harry I forgive you for telling everyone the truth that I am an abuser and a leaker and just an all round sh*t human.” What utter nonsense.
Even IF they apologized to H&M, I would never trust ANY of them again!
Regardless of whether William apologises the damage it done and the trust is long gone. H&M are never coming back into the fold – they have their life in the US and they are there to stay.
Eh, I’d say Charles needs to hear this first. He can leak that he said birthday wishes to Archie wherever he may be but that’s not exactly welcoming. Frogmore cemented that. And maybe Camilla Tominey should take her own advice. This writer is on a mission to denigrate Harry and Meghan. Knowing how the papers actually influence the members of the RF, stop writing ish about Meghan.
As much as they talked about the long term, the British press and the royal rota did not play the long term. And now the reality of the situation is really kicking in. They did too much now they know there is nothing left they can threaten or manipulate Harry or Meghan with. The reality is after this court case, Harry will not be back in England for a very very long time, and Meghan has no intention of returning any time soon. There’s nothing left to hold over their heads, and now everyone is scared. No more money to make off of Harry and Meghan.
I think that the British media genuinely, truly believed that the Sussexes would flop and fail, so maybe at the time they *thought* they were playing the long game, but they still cannot get over the fact that they were so totally and completely wrong. They had a slight bounceback after the stupid South Park episode aired, but they learned quickly that SP means absolutely nothing (and if anything, it showed how big the Sussexes were that SP even bothered to mock them).
In 2020, they ran all of those cartoons about how the Sussexes would be homeless and Harry would be working at Burger King, and then both Harry and Meghan flipped the script on them and went on to be so wildly successful in every single thing they did post Sussexit; the RRs just don’t know what to do with themselves. They still can’t believe how wrong they were. They can’t believe the rest of the world doesn’t view Harry and Meghan the way that they do.
And they behaved SO hatefully that no number of apologies or promises to change the tone of the coverage will ever get the Sussexes back to the UK or to engage with them at all in any way ever again.
They’re totally fcked. 🥰
Awe, poor sausage that needs to forgive his bad, mean little brother in order for the monarchy to continue existing… What a load of BS! I have a question though; let’s say that Meghan forgives these sh£@ty people and eventually both of them come back (as the RRs want) as half-in half-outs. Does that mean that they are willing to stop writing hateful and misinformed articles or not? Somehow, I don’t think that the Fail or the S#n will ever stop producing and feeding hate.
LOLOLOL. The RRs are ticked bc the coronation just gave them a picture of their access to the Sussexes going forward- basically, nothing. I think Harry did exactly what he wanted at the coronation – he showed up for the ceremony and that was it. I don’t think he wanted to attend the lunch or be on the balcony or in family pictures (without his wife and children….) etc. He agreed to attend the ceremony and that is what he did. And he did it in such a way that no one (cough William/Kate cough) could leak about him – they didn’t even know what plane he was flying on for crying out loud. There were no glimpses of Harry out and about on Friday, just some footage of him in a car.
the RRs are panicking bc they drove out their cash cows and its taking them a really long time to understand that. So now they need William to do whatever is necessary to get Harry back more often.
William was the cause of the rift and Camilla knows this, so calling on him to be the bigger man is just ridiculous. But it’s clear that the family photos and Harry not sticking around after the coronation has shown the press what they have lost and that the Royal Family needs Harry and Meghan. The most interesting thing is Camilla still believes that Harry would willingly return to the Royal fold. She’s delusional.
This is most likely Camilla’s team initiating the long slow game of demonizing Will during the course of her reign so he will be even less popular when he takes the throne from Charles. And we know Cams is very capable of the long game. Now Camilla has the crown, it will be about legacy.
I think these people are deluded.
The Sussexes have been abused. Short list of examples follows:
1. They were refused the option to be working royals while pursuing opportunities to be financially independent.
2. Their charities were relinquished, military titles were removed, use of HRHs were disallowed.
3. Their security was removed without notice.
4. Their severance allowance was cut off without notice.
5. They were evicted from their only UK residence despite being forced to pay the cost of refurbishments.
6. They were thrown to the wolves (5 years of incessant negative planted lies briefed to the press from the palaces).
I don’t see how any olive branch will help Charles and William convince the Sussexes to return to the UK to live, let alone work for the firm. Maybe the royals can hope for a miracle from God. Charles is after all anointed and Head of the Church, surely he must be in conversation with God about it? Thing is, I think God has already listened to the thousands who were interceding and praying for the Sussex’s safety and financial independence for the last five years m, and it looks like God has listened and been working for them over the years, he sent Tyler Perry. The US is home now for the Sussexes. Harry was clear, he wants a family not an institution.
Tominey and others need to move towards acceptance. Their working Royals are what we see in the coronation photographs. They’re the Windsor brand now.
They aren’t very smart. If they left them alone and stop writing hateful articles on them than maybe they would accept and invite to trooping and other events there. But the constantly negativity gives them no choice but to stay away. Why would you want to expose your family to that. The constant attacks have to be so tiresome to Meghan and Harry.
Yeah…she gone. They won’t be going back. What I’ll be looking for in the coming 12-18 months is the long strategy. Now that the coronation is over, it will be interesting to see how WME manages all the UK press vitriol. My hope is that 1) they let them all vomit and tear out their hair in unfathomable volumes of performative pearl-clutching horror this one last time since it was the culmination of all the big events, then 2) surgical strikes begin in the late summer or early fall. Don’t think Harry would be ok with personal hits on family members, but the rota itself and the pubs (including their leadership) will be fair game. I also have to wonder whether it’s possible for to force PW’s hand at some point. WME has looooooong arms and layers upon layers of insulation. They play true hardball. The RF has no idea.
Tominey writing under instructions ?? These journalists are no longer neutral; they are heavily partisan.
Willy needs to think abbout what he wants for his Monarchy, i’m sure he doesnt have a clue , will he need his
BUT, BUT, BUT there are no Palace leaks. BUT, BUT, BUT none of the Palace staff speak to journalists. Offs, I have never read such a load of BS. William? A safe pair of hands? 😂😂😂Depends on who and what he’s holding I suppose. Saying that William should forgive Harry??? Sorry camel toe the only people who need forgiveness are ALL in the UK. media including you and the rest of the Scum like you, and the Royal Rats . Harry should NEVER forgive you or them. William is a rage monster and No amount of flowery prose by you is going to change that. Charles is a doddery old fool, being led around by his bulbous nose, whilst kitty kat is going to end up flat on her bonny arse by the time camzilla has finished with her. “cometh the day, cometh the man” and lady, that man ain’t William, it’s Harry. He came, he saw and thought, fk this nothings changed and back home he went. Final point you sycnphantic little scribe. No, and I really mean NO grandfather worth his salt, toasts his grandson on his birthday with the words “where ever he is”
I’d like to add one more thing to the list of facts documenting the abuse of Meghan and Harry: Meghan’s miscarriage.
Harry digged the grave with his own hands. He thinks that this miscarriage caused by the stress from Meghan’s lawsuit. As we all know, William and Kate sent Knauf to help DFail in this trial, therefore, contributed to Meghan’s stress. How a man and a woman who suffered that loss can forgive this?
Of course we (and Harry&Meghan) can’t be sure this was the reason, and I suppose it wasn’t Cambridges’ intention, but just a thought of that… I can’t understand how Harry could endure such betrayal from his elder brother.
All the talk of forgiveness from Royal Rats – just an attempt to rewrite history.
As about British Press losing their “cash cows” – they don’t lose it actually. Meghan going for a hike in Montecito “produced” endless articles in tabloids and thousands of tweets in SM.
Nothing has changed in this department, sadly.
This. Also her horrible father and his spawn are included. When I read that in his book I cried. I am 63 and I had a miscarriage in my 30’s my first baby and to this day when I think about it the hurt is still there. I don’t think Harry and Meghan can forgive that. Harry said in his book that he and his brother mad a pledge to never use the press and brief against each other and his brother broke that pledge. I believe that’s why his brother can’t look him in the eye.
Don’t they mean Will must apologize to Harry and stop his campaign of terror against Harry and Meghan?
This part made me LOL: “Supported by the calming influence of his level-headed wife …”
Ah, yes, the images of William and Kate arriving late to the church for the coronation just oozed with the calming influence of Kate.
Kate and William both made Meghan miserable. As someone posted above, Kate should apologize to Meghan, too.
Could that ‘calming influence’ be that his wife doles out the meds when he is incandescent with rage?
Camilla finally wrote an article without mentioning South Park? A con-a-nation miracle!
I will repeat that William is desperate for Harry to engage with him, not the other way around. He is the one who should apologise to Meghan and Harry, also Lilibet…..
The vile, gossip spreading writer Tominey seems to have a new agenda. Any lie will do to make herself relevant. The level headed calm wife, who actually appears to be a narcissistic, cunning, and calculating, mean girl stalker, is going to give William good advice to reconnect with Harry. Nothing good will happen unless she is made to be the centre of attention. Harry’s book comments and also how he completely ignores her existence, says everything about her behavior and attitude. No wonderful mediator in existence here, just a jealous, racist antagonist. If Harry and Meghan became part of the fold again, she would become a farce and be faded into obscurity, she will not allow that to happen.
Khate and her family will fight to stop Harry and William reconciling. It seems like they have too much to lose if Harry is an active part of his family. Khate is constantly feeding the flames of hate as much as possible. People seem to forget how she got to where she is, and is definitely not a victim. A very cold, calculating predator who stalked William and the BRF until she inserted herself when she became the last woman standing. There is always a major focus on Williams temper, what about hers ? Playing the abuse card gets her even more publicity, women are abusers too, but society usually ignores this until its too late for their victims.
“For what we learned from Sunday night’s speech was how pivotal the Prince and Princess of Wales are going to be to the success of the reign of Charles III.”
Good luck with that, England!
Christ on a cracker, I really hope this is the moment for N. Ireland, Scotland, and Wales to finally be free of these idiots. If anyone is waiting for the Wails to become anything of substance, it’s definitely not the three parts of the U.K. that aren’t England.
