Prince William ‘started grieving for his brother’ at the Sandringham Summit

It’s pretty funny that British broadcasters are still making documentaries about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. They keep turning over all of the bad decisions made by the Windsors and twisting themselves into pretzels to blame everything on Harry and Meghan. The revisionist history is particularly wild because there are so many legitimate avenues of exploration, so many unanswered questions, but instead of spending any time exploring those issues, we get more smears and lies. So, Channel 5 has made a new documentary called “Megxit: Inside The Sandringham Summit.” Jesus take the wheel. Perhaps this is an exploration of how the Sussexes’ security was withdrawn as punishment? Of course not. It’s more about Prince William’s profound grief at losing his brother. Keep in mind, William apparently had a full-throttle shrieking tantrum at the Sandringham Summit, a tantrum which disturbed QEII and everyone in the room.

A new documentary on Channel 5 – Megxit: Inside The Sandringham Summit – dives into exactly what went on behind closed doors at the high-stakes discussion, with experts and commentators providing new insight into the meeting that would come to determine a total split of the couple from the institution of the monarchy.

One royal expert revealed in the documentary that after the discussions were completed, Prince William was left “completely broken” and devastated at the loss of his brother.

Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths explained, “William must have felt such a sense of relief, but also great sadness because he was really, officially losing his brother. What I heard at the time was that William started grieving for his brother at that point, really grieving, like he’d lost, not only his mother, years ago, but his brother as well and I think he was just genuinely quite sad, and completely broken”.

There was one notable absence from the Sandringham Summit, however, with Meghan back in Canada, unable to join the meeting remotely – Harry had been left to face his family, and fight for what he wanted, solo.

[From The Daily Mirror]

Fun fact: the Windsors only put the summit together after Meghan left the UK. And she wanted to be able to participate remotely, only they denied her that option. The goal was to isolate Harry. They didn’t expect him to stick to his guns and say “we’re leaving one way or the other.” They also didn’t want Meghan to participate in the negotiations about what would happen to her and her son. They never wanted Meghan to have a say in her future.

As for William’s “grief” – keep in mind, Harry and Meghan were like “hey, we’d love to still be able to do royal work, we’d love to be half-in and half-out, we’d love to be able to spend several months every year in the UK.” And William was banging his head against the wall, wailing about how he’d lost his brother forever. William set it up in his own f–ked mind that it was a black-and-white, either/or proposition – Harry saying that he wanted to leave the UK was tantamount to “death” in William’s thought process. Imagine if everyone treated “a family member moving to another country” that way.

    The stains they call “press” in the UK is trying so hard to rewrite history before know-nothing and do-nothing take the throne but the royals are going to reward that behavior by continuing to be enormous disappointments and losers.

    • Friendly Crow says:

      What do we truly know about William throwing a fit in the summit and I front of the Queen? About him screaming at his father? And about all the other instances of his temper being widely acknowledged in the press- are there actual accounts besides in spare?

      I think it’s incredibly important for the citizens of the UK and the commonwealth to know just what kind of rage monster is “leading” them and supposedly engaging in global statesman ship and soft power diplomacy on their behalf.

      I remember deeply William getting those beautiful cookies and zooming with the woman who made them and her son and basically mocking them to her face. The casual cruelty was off the charts. I don’t understand how he hasn’t been given the training to connect with people and leave them with a memory that will make them happy instead of cause them pain and embarrassment.

      • MaisiesMom says:

        Wait, what? I need to look that up. I do remember the joint interview he did with Harry when they were youths, I think both flying at the time. William was so snide and dismissive and outright rude throughout the entire thing, and Harry looked hurt but didn’t speak up for himself.

      • Elizabeth Regina says:

        Willy has a missing empathy gene. He was either not born with one like his father or it was bred out of him like his father.

      • Nerd says:

        There are multiple videos of William as a child or young teenager doing things that are very mean, aggressive or violent. Things like hitting Diana when he didn’t get his way or hitting Charles repeatedly in the head. He was constantly trying to take anything away from Harry whenever Harry was enjoying something. We’ve seen his stern reaction to Kate touching his bum and how Kate has flinched from his touch. We’ve seen the video that is oddly impossible to find of him aggressively screaming at a man on a bike path accusing him of stalking them. The media have for years told us about how he’s incandescent with rage, even before them leaving the UK, the Oprah interview or Spare.

      • Wesley says:

        Camilla has also mentioned William’s temper. She has relayed meetings between William & Charles where William was having a temper tantrum because Charles was or had decided to do something William disagreed with. He viewed his father more like a Regent for him becoming King instead of being the ACTUAL King.

    • Friendly Crow says:

      William and Kate are deteriorating before our eyes. One is pickling in rage and molding. The other is disappearing.

      Both of their public behavior – as limited as it is – is ghastly and unacceptable and well as deeply concerning.

      How is this not a national security concern? What is being done to right the issues they have going on so that the beloved monarchy doesn’t implode?

      • Blogger says:

        Let them implode. Time for them to go. Enough public funding to this dysfunctional family and their hangers on.

        There’s no professionalism in the Palaces, only incompetence and gossip.

      • Friendly Crow says:

        Yeah it was mostly snark. The “institution” is built on genocide, colonialism and slavery and needs to go.
        I just don’t understand why the people who prop up the monarchy and directly benefit from it aren’t making moves to ensure it remains.
        I guess they just can’t adapt.

  2. Tessa says:

    Peg is a self righteous hypocrite. He should have been banned from the summit. The queen let him rage on.

    • Hypocrisy says:

      Poor Peggy and his grief🙄.. what a joke he has made of himself.

      • Blogger says:

        Harry’s not dead. Why was Willy grieving? Couldn’t control him? Bend his brother to make him leave his wife?

        What a selfish idiot. The rats sure are painting an awful man here.

    • Where'sMyTiara says:

      U@Tessa I think William’s inclusion was part of the stitch up AS ORCHESTRATED BY CHARLES.

      He knew well about Waldo’s enmity for Harry, and used his eldest son as a cudgel against the younger one. Power games. Without Waldo there, he couldn’t have hoped to pressure his mother and overrule her wishes, which were clearly to give the Sussexes the same freedoms as the York sisters, but with security that met with the threat level they faced.

      Chuck wound up Waldo like a toy tank and let him loose on the proceedings. He knew exactly what he was doing. He uses family against one another whenever it suits him. See also: tag teaming with Andrew vs. Her Late Maj over Geidt in 2017.

      Charles is a bully. To his mother, father, first wife, both sons, his siblings, and all the grandchildren.

    • TC says:

      LOL! The only grieving Willie did was the loss of his support prop, Harry, who did all the work, and allowed Willie to look good. Of course he’d grief the loss of that cozy arrangement where he could exploit Harry & take the credit! As everyone can now see, Willie by himself, is incapable or unwilling to do the work he should have been training for all his life! He’s making a monumental mess of his job & it’ll all end in tears sooner rather than later. May even end the monarchy!

    • Flying Fish says:

      The Queen knew that William was a lunatic.
      I remember after William and Kate’s train tour during COVID the Queen seem to telling them off during a public appearance outside the palace during a pre-Christmas. The press coverage and the response to that tour wasn’t good.
      The Queen knew that Charles and his demon spawn was going to be the end of it all.

      • Nic919 says:

        I don’t think the Queen told them off. I think the Queen iced them out in public. That cut direct that the derangers keep bragging about, well the Queen did it to Kate in full public view. William noticed it and told Kate to move along.

        And it was obvious because she made sure to greet Sophie and Edward.

      • jais says:

        I’d love to know what motivated that cut direct towards Kate. Was it just a general dislike of Kate from the Queen that finally simmered out or had she learned something that specifically caused it. Bc dang, it was harsh.

  3. aquarius64 says:

    I saw the story on X. from accounts it reads as if it’s a televised version of Spare.

  4. sevenblue says:

    While Harry was still in UK, he was also saying to the royal reporters (not rumor, to the reporters at an event with him) that he always protected his brother, but he can’t anymore. All because he wanted H&M to be fine with getting abused by the media, because Will has skeletons in his closet he needed to hide. That is the future diplomatic leader of UK.

    • Friendly Crow says:

      So. His brother and his wife and nephew – who had been living under a siege of hatred and hostility being stoked from all quarters – and by William – wanted to spend some time outside of the UK every year because the constant vitriolic hatred was making their existence painful and scary.

      Sort of like multiple back to back to back vacations but they would have actually been working and helping others while elsewhere.

      And this equated to Harry being dead to William. And has earned Harry his brother’s seemingly endless anger and hatred for not wanting their family life to be defined by the suffering they were undergoing at the hands of the media and his family.

      That’s WILD. The control issues and the complete entitlement to Harry’s existence and their entitlement to HOW he exists – emotionally, mentally, physically- is sickening.

      • Blogger says:

        Pretty much.

        “Harry, you take all their abuse for me! No? NO? You are dead to me Harold!”

      • Becks1 says:

        Yup, agree with everything here – William did feel like he lost harry at that Summit because he realized his whipping boy was leaving for good and he was going to lose all control over him.

        We often talk here about how there was a big sense in the UK and the royal family that Meghan was reaching above her station in marrying harry, that she didn’t know her place, that she didn’t understand how the Firm operated, etc. Basically however they want to cover up the feeling of ‘how dare a Black woman marry a British price.”

        but there was also a big sense at this time that HARRY was reaching above his station, refusing to stay in the place he had occupied his entire life, and that he didn’t understand how the system worked.* Harry not knowing his place has been the trigger for William’s rage for the last 5 years. harry was supposed to stay put and offer himself and his family up as scapegoats for William and his family for the rest of their lives. he opted out of that and william can’t forgive him for that.

        *you see this said a lot even now – from royal outsiders – that harry “needs to understand X” about his family, like harry needs help from royal commentators on social media to understand his family. I do think the rage and anger from his father and brother has surprised him but thats not the same thing.

  5. MrsCope says:

    That is wild. So that’s the monarchy, eh? Do what I say and what I want, or else you’re dead to me. You’re my family and co-worker, soon to be employee all in one and there is no family without the employment piece. Cool. Nothing to see here folks. (I’m being sarcastic, none of this is surprising and all of it is pathetic).

  6. Lala11_7 says:

    What a creep…him & his Daddy.

    • jais says:

      Fr. They are creepy. Looking back, the way that Kristen Stewart/Diana film felt like almost like a horror film is actually pretty close to reality.

  7. Miranda says:

    Bullshit. He wasn’t grieving the “loss of a brother”. He was throwing a tantrum over the loss of his scapegoat and workhorse.

    • Friendly Crow says:

      How is it that William has been pouting for 5 years that his brother abandoned him, that the media has been like HOW CAN WILLIAM BE KING WITHOUT HARRY – and yet there is absolutely no precedent for a king needing their spare to hold their hand day in and day out. But this is being portrayed as normal and the betrayal of the millennium because William being king without his spare – when not that long ago, the spares used to be killed off – is unimaginable?

      If he needs to spread the royal duties out, he has plenty of cousins and frankly – aristocrats who he can make the royal rod or royal bath bomb or whatever and put them in diplomatic positions.

      Why is this not happening?

      • JillinIL says:

        ”Royal Bath Bomb” 🤣

      • Lover says:

        I agree, Friendly Crow, Will’s level of rage over this has little to do with actually needing a scapegoat or coworker. I really think it’s more of a cult leader’s irrational reaction to the fact that Harry said no to him and wanted to leave, whereas Will felt entitled to total control over Harry’s life. In other words, Harry didn’t know his place and dared to rise above it, much as what Becks said above.

      • Nerd says:

        That has always been my question as to why the message has alway been that William needs Harry even though no other monarch in that family has depended on their spare? The constant projection in that family and through the media has sometimes caused me to question if there is something about William that they are trying to hide and if there is a clue in the projections they place on Harry as not being that smart or something even more alarming like a very violent temper?

    • Blogger says:

      🎯

      You don’t grieve over someone who’s not dead.

      So this is tantrum Willy, still behaving like a 3 year old when he doesn’t get what he wants.

    • RoyalBlue says:

      Exactly that. They are trying to re-write history by implying his strong emotions were about grief, instead of the anger we all know he displays. Thank God Harry wrote Spare and gave us enough examples of William’s anger and his father’s nonchalance. We know enough about William to know he is not right in the head.

      At the Summit, William was there to bully him into staying and the Queen was there to play on his conscious.

      My gut tells me of the 5 options they offered him, they were prepared to sign on “all out”. They had the “all out” papers ready to sign. They did not accept his half in half out offer and knew he would not accept the “all in” offer. It was a set up

    • WaterDragon says:

      THIS and only this.

  8. IdlesAtCranky says:

    I don’t think BillyIdle is grieving the loss of his brother even a little bit.

    Losing his Spare? His meat shield and scapegoat? Maybe.

    Losing the charisma contest he created with his own stupidity? Always failing to be as interesting or effective on the world stage as his brother? THAT definitely bothers him.

    If William didn’t want to lose Harry, he didn’t have to. He deliberately chose to create and maintain a huge rift between them.

    This is just more nonsense pulled from thin air by the UK “Royal” Drama Machine.

    • TC says:

      Actually, once Harry left, the writing was on the wall. The charisma-free brother would be quickly exposed as the dud he always was. And that has been demonstrated increasingly in the last 5 years. A few days ago Prince Harry was the keynote speaker for the Envison 2025 Global Partners Conference in Shanghai. Willie tries to compete by announcing plans to attend an Oceans Summit Conference in Monaco next week.
      Revisionist history by the UK press is no longer as effective as there are plenty of factual narratives anyone can access online. The more desperate the mainstream media (owned by oligarchs) are to prop up the failing Royal Family, the more hysterical the lies they write about the Sussexes! But the cracks are showing…even the Daily Beast (once loyal to the RF) are getting snide about Willie.

      • IdlesAtCranky says:

        @TC — I agree.

        The really sad thing about this is that William has taken the path of replicating the same mistake his father made throughout his adult life, to the great detriment of his own reputation and that of the monarchy.

        Charles has always been deeply jealous over his own lack of popularity compared to more charismatic family members, starting with his own wife. The fact that Diana was deeply loved really broke his brain, and the way he acted out over it permanently tarnished both him and the Crown.

        William has done just the same, over Harry, Meghan, even Kate.

        And the stupidest part of that is if William had learned from his father’s mistakes, he could have sat back and weaponized Harry and Meghan as popular second-string family, energetic and more than willing to work on his behalf.

        He could have been seen proudly beaming at their successes, while positioning himself as the involved father and quiet, serious statesman and future monarch.

        That plus trotting Kate out periodically to play Mumsy and clothes horse, and they’re both off the hook for doing the hard work of interacting with the hoi polloi.

        But just like Charles, he’s too shortsighted to see how he’s wasting a valuable resource while calling his own usefulness to the nation into question. Egotistical twit.

  9. Dee(2) says:

    Is that what all these stories all of a sudden is, revisionist history or are they sick of being caught on the back foot with anything current with the Sussexes because they’re unable to shape the narrative any longer?

    It’s always been incredibly diabolical and clear evidence of their use of coercive control that they purposefully excluded Meghan. They KNOW they have manipulated Harry before and used family ” duty” to get him to operate outside of his best interests. She terrifies them for having the ability to escape, but also the awareness that their behavior is wrong.

    It’s also interesting that now that his reign is imminent, it’s all about how there was no other way and how he’s lost his brother, and will have to do it alone, ( so don’t expect too much). Instead of, for some reason it was impossible for my adult sibling and his immediate family to depart the family business without being excommunicated and we’re a totally non abusive reasonable family.

    • jais says:

      It also just feels like they have no new content. But they have all of Spare to exploit. Spare is content. And they clearly haven’t mined it enough. So they’re basically summarizing the events in Spare while adding a few little details that they know about. And spinning it in a way to try and make the Windsor seems more sympathetic. To which, I think they’re failing bc the Windsors still look bad.

      • Blogger says:

        They lack content because the Lazies won’t give them content because they don’t work 😂

  10. ShazBot says:

    I really think all these people twist themselves into pretzels because if they actually talk about the truth and acknowledge it, then they have a big frigging problem with their whole belief structure and how do they move forward from there?
    Charles and William can’t be bad people because that means that the King, for the next 50 or so years, is a bad person. So keep propping up that story and telling yourself what you need to to sleep at night.

  11. bisynaptic says:

    “Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths explained, “William must have felt such a sense of relief, but also great sadness because he was really, officially losing his brother.“
    — They’re showing us how much of a cult the royal family is.

    • Blogger says:

      I don’t know how you can officially lose a sibling who’s still very much alive. You can be estranged but they’re not lost. They just don’t want to have a relationship with you.

    • RoyalBlue says:

      Harry may have lost a brother in William, but he gained one in Nacho. But hey, William now has Jason to comfort him.

  12. jais says:

    Lol. Okay, I don’t remember the shrieking. Not that I doubt he did. I remember the family making sure Harry couldn’t sit next to Elizabeth and the whole printer not working. Didn’t it come out later that one of William’s aides was actually texting and leaking to Whooton during the summit. Anyways, I think part of William was like if I can’t leave then neither can you, Harold. He wanted Meghan gone sure but not Harry. I saw clips online of the doc and it’s interesting to watch the royal reporters basically use Spare as their main source while just subtly twisting it to their benefit.

    • Tessa says:

      William sulked and threw a fit and refused to attend one of the summit sessions.

      • jais says:

        I genuinely didn’t remember that. I think he also arrived late to the summit.

      • Tessa says:

        I think this was in Finding Freedom. William’s temper issues were brought up including the time he yelled at his father and Camilla was shocked over it. He did skip out on one of the meetings

    • Blogger says:

      Willy’s trapped,

      Harry escaped from ALL of them. Good and brave man.

    • Calliope says:

      Not having H sit next to QE2 makes me wonder since you think they’d want that for the sentimental ploy, but not if she wasn’t on board with their shenanigans. Maybe it’s giving her too much credit, maybe if she/Phillip had been younger, things would have still turned out this way, but I think QE2 knew Charles & William and knew half-in/half-out wasn’t going to be feasible if she wasn’t going to be around much longer. It probably was her preference, since so many of her relatives had that deal, and she was sending H on the important commonwealth trips anyway (even before Meghan), but with C/W “controlling” things, Harry and his family would never have peace.

      William shrieking “if I can’t leave neither can you” is really the heart of it. A better person would want to make it an environment in which people would *want* to stay; the goal isn’t to make everyone as miserable as you are (or stab your brother in the eye to fulfill the creepy “Harold” nickname). Horrific, stupid people.

  13. Tessa says:

    Peg through a,tantrum because he wanted harry to divorce Meghan. And used knauf to have fake investigation to drive out Meghan. He needs therapy.

  14. This is all code for Peg had a big tantrum that his scapegoat was leaving and he would have to do the work. No way did Peg “grieve the loss of his brother” that’s code for wah wah wah now I have to do all the work.

    • Blogger says:

      He still doesn’t do the work so what is he angry about now?

      • He is angry because his laziness is showing. Had Harry stayed he could off loaded work on him.

      • TC says:

        Yes, Willie still doesn’t do the work, but now that absence of substantive work (attending football matches don’t count!) is being exposed publicly, and could lead to the abolition of the Monarchy down the road.

  15. Digital Unicorn says:

    Peggys grief is about losing ‘control’ of his brother, he can no longer use and abuse Harry. He can’t use his brothers children to hide behind and sell out to the press to hide his own (and his affairs).

  16. Eurydice says:

    Yes, the royal “expert” says “William must have felt…” I can also guess what William felt – that must make me a royal expert, too.

  17. Nerd says:

    I haven’t yet read anything up above besides the title, but I wanted to say this before I read the above. Channel 5 is obviously misogynistic and racists to title a documentary with such a misogynistic and racists word to place blame on the one person who wasn’t allowed to be in the room where decisions about her and her family’s lives were being made. That is a disgusting and disgraceful title and representation of what the UK media and the royal family represent and what their problem was all along, a strong, intelligent and competent woman of color.

    • QuiteContrary says:

      Totally agree. “Megxit” is such a gross term.

    • RoyalBlue says:

      Agreed 100%. Disgraceful to do this and call yourself a respectable news outlet. The bar is set so low on the island.

    • Calliope says:

      It really is a disgusting title. And deliberately ignores that Harry wanted out, even before Meghan. But only Meghan leaving was the outcome that the press/royal family really wanted. And angry people are not always wise, etc., so they’re being obvious in the hatred and racism. Disgusting group. (And curiously also damaging to long-term UK interests but racism wins every time.)

  18. Monika says:

    “….with experts and commentators providing new insight into the meeting….”? This people were not in the room. They were told a version of the event by people with a stake in the game, twisting it to fit their purpose.

    Willi grieving turns the reality upside down. It was his office KP and Charles office who pursued this solution. Harry proposed a solution where he and Meghan would still have supported the late Queen, Charles and Willi. They did not want that. With Willi it is all about him and word how this affect Harry and his family, no empathy, nothing

    • Ciotog says:

      They may have thought that Harry would choose to stay in, with or without Meghan. Hence the ultimatum.

  19. Maxine Branch says:

    Harry gave his definitive account in Spare. Therefore, I do-not pay much attention to the other nonsense because it is all nonsense. Just so happy he authored this book so his children will have his book and his words (audible) for why he left the UK. Otherwise, this documentary would be the kind of nonsense his children would be exposed to. Now they will be armed with their father’s accounting and his truth. Those of us who purchased and read Spare have what we need. Those gutter rats pick and choose from Spare to support the nonsense they produce for profit and to put their monarchy in the best light.

  20. Jay says:

    This is what abusers do though. They say that you won’t survive without them, that you will regret it if you leave because they will make it impossible for you to come back, and then they rage and they cry until you agree to their demands. I’m not sure I believe that TOB is “grieving” over his brother so much as continually airing his grievances over the loss of his scapegoat.

  21. Me at home says:

    This reads like a lame PR attempt to rehabilitate William’s image after years of ignoring Harry at Eton, interfering in Harry’s marriage, trying to ban his brother from Britain, and raging about stripping the Sussexes’ titles. This raging absolutely makes William look like a petulant jerk who’s unfit to be king.

    And all this Charlotte person can come up with is “I think William must have been sad” and “William must have felt….” Sure, Charlotte thinks these things, so they must be true.

    • Me at home says:

      PS, They didn’t even try to phrase this as “royal insiders told me William was gutted” or “palace sources say William felt this way.” Just Charlotte and her thoughts.

    • Blogger says:

      Nah, Willy was – and is – just angry.

  22. HennyO says:

    UK’s Chanel 5 #×× TV docu reg. H&M and this one in particular, the Sandringham Summit, is again nothing more than the usual suspects of the royal rota and the so-called royal experts, using Harry and Meghan’s historical documents (their Netflix docuseries, the Oprah interview, Harry’s ‘The Me You Can’t See’ Mental Heath docuseries produced with Oprah for Apple TV and Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’), to not only rewrite history, but also to present that info in their paid appearances as their own palace sourced information exclusively told to them. It’s too laughable when literally millions of people arround the world know about the content of these 4 historical records.

    Somebody on X gave a perfect analyses of this docu:

    ” What we learned (but already knew)
    Willy is always angry
    Willy is used to getting his own way.
    Willy has always had yes men pandering to his every need.
    He didn’t like losing his scapegoat.
    Harry was stitched up.
    Harry has always been RIGHT!”
    End of quote.

  23. MSJ says:

    The Establishment Stitch up against Harry and his wife (an outsider – a bi-racial American woman with black ancestry) has revealed to people of Commonwealth countries the depth of deceit and lack of love or care the royal family has for it’s own blood. Many of us young people had not given much thought to the British monarchy and the historical negative impact it continued to have on our current state. We were just focused on surviving challenges from the West as a whole. People have translated the very public maligning of Meghan and now have a very negative conscious view that the British monarchy’s hands in our continued oppression. Despite their years of claiming that the commonwealth is family, they still regard us as people who are to be used to enrich themselves just like they did when our ancestors were slaves in the colonies. It was very evident in our reaction to QEII death. A lot of the pain and frustration just flowed freely on and off social media. Charles, William and the rest of the establishment treatment of the Sussexes has eroded practically everything QEII had managed to do to keep the Commonwealth people aligned with Britain’s agenda. They are no longer revered in the Commonwealth. Over the past 7 years and particularly during the pandemic we saw through the façade with the help of social media. Meghan marrying Harry, placed a spotlight on the monarchy and what we saw from their treatment of her was deeply disturbing. I don’t believe the Establishment will ever understand that they are continuing to do more harm when they maligning the Sussexes. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    They might satisfy the monarchists in Britain but the Commonwealth is not the same as a result of their shenanigans. While the Windsor brand may still have cachet in Britain, it seems like the Sussex brand has surpassed the Windsor brand in value globally. The establishment can take full credit for that. Denying the Sussexes half in-half out arrangement is in hindsight advantageous to the Sussexes. 🙌

      i love everything you said here. They are so insulated in their bubble, not to realise how they are perceived in the world at large. The Queen may have been seen as a lovable old lady, and colonies may have gained their independence whlist under her rule. but the dichotomy of her declining power with the coming of age of her former colonies is a site to behold, i still relish the dressing down William to in Jamaica what a beaut.

    Oh, for heaven’s sake, Harry is not DEAD like Di. All the tool had do was apologize and say I support you whatever you want to do with YOUR life and stay in touch. Since he was incapable of admitting wrong, here he is years later sounding like a tool.

    • Blogger says:

      You’d think Harry was dead.

      Speaking of, I hope Harry has made different funeral arrangements unless he wants to be buried in Windsor as per Spare?

        The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were actually planning to buy a plot for themselves in Baltimore, Maryland. The Queen then told them they could be buried in Windsor royal burial ground,

    I haven’t seen the documentary because it’s only broadcast in UK. I have been watching clips that are being shared by anti monarchy groups so I don’t think it’s as sycophantic as this snippet. They talk about death threats faced by H&M and as far as I’ve heard there’s new info.. there’s a part 2 yet to be aired after which we should get it on YouTube

    Since the Sussexes announced they would be stepping down Willy has been acting like his brother died instead of just leaving the family business. Now that we know they were planning to strip their security and go all out to destroy them we all know why.

    Harry said its best there are forces within that institution that want a repeat of what happened to Diana and unfortunately that includes his brother and father. I relish their disappointment. I also relish how stupid they look when they pretend Harry living in the USA is soooo far away and impossible to visit yet Chuck can go to Canada and Willy keeps harassing New York.

    I think the Prince of the High Order of the Neck Bruises lives in constant fear of the media attention turning focus onto him and his misdeeds.

    The Oprah interview terrified him for good reason.

  29. Magdalena says:

    I think “grief” is being substituted here for SHOCK. William had schemed and plotted and manipulated so much that he and his staff and the supporting vipers all really thought that they would WIN: that if they isolated Harry at that summit, he would “come to his senses” and realise that if he didn’t agree to continue to be their scapegoat that he would lose everything – and he would buckle and change his mind and wholeheartedly embrace “all in”. Even that stunt with the supposedly broken printer was geared towards forcing him to stay. They completely underestimated Harry: they NEVER expected him to say “Fine. We’ll take ‘all out’ then.” That’s why William was shouting. He thought he could intimidate his brother yet again, but Harry wasn’t having any of it. And then when Harry left, it hit William like a brick: Congratulations, dimwit, you’ve played yourself! And he has never recovered; he’s been spiralling ever since. Hence all the obsessive, stalkery schemes to copy everything Harry does (including his attire and mannerisms and buzz words), make himself over in the mould of Harry, and attempt to trash everything Harry does, or destroy people, institutions (Sentebale) and things Harry cares about.

    • SueBarbri33 says:

      This right here is it. The entire RF system was shocked by Harry leaving.

      • Blogger says:

        Any bystander outside their bubble would have seen this as an obvious solution for Harry. Why stay where you are being abused?

        They really thought the rats printing vile day after day was acceptable and Harry would put up with it.

        The king and his heir are thick idiots.

    I think the winner here is Camilla, who has successfully deflected attention off of her and her history.

  31. Maja says:

    These people always shoot themselves in the foot with all their claims. Sandringham was a game already rigged by the palace and the family. Prince Harry had no chance of a just and fair resolution that would protect him and his family. Instead, they took everything away from this small defenceless family. Dignity, work, money, security, the house they renovated themselves and with the hate campaign that has been going on ever since, they have also tried to take away their honour. The latter was not successful. On the contrary, a great deal of honour has been added
    He mourns after everything has been taken from him? House, security, money, work, uniform, dignity? What an incredible outrage.
    If I mourn a person because he is no longer prepared to take on an unprotected, personally harmful function in my system that was predetermined at birth, it is a matter of crazed narcissism and narcissistic rage, not grief.
    Only someone who has no idea about anything can write something like that. But the readers don’t need knowledge, they are happy about every incitement of hatred and malice.

  32. QuiteContrary says:

    “One royal expert revealed in the documentary that after the discussions were completed, Prince William was left ‘completely broken’ and devastated at the loss of his brother.”

    That sentence should have ended after “completely broken.” William has always been broken; Harry’s departure sealed the deal.

    William is nothing if not completely broken.

  33. Jaded says:

    Jealousy is at the root of all Wilbur’s tantrums, smearing, hatred of Meghan (clearly he did or said something inappropriate to or about her and she shot him down like a pigeon), etc. He sees how Harry & Meghan have flourished, are living a great lifestyle and doing the public service that was forbidden to them in the UK. Everything they touch seems to turn to gold and the public approbation they receive must make Slumlord Bill froth at the mouth. He (and his equally nasty wife) wasted a golden opportunity by letting their uncontrollable narcissism take over. They will be the ruination of the monarchy.

  34. Tn Democrat says:

    The brothers were never close despite decades of Windsor spin. Willy was always desperately jealous of Harry and never outgrew his childish tantrums and pettiness. He couldn’t even be troubled to take Harry under his wing at Eton in the aftermath of their mother’s tragic death. Willy has no conscience and will make a horrid king because he lacks empathy. In a few years he will be tossing his own children to the rota as casually and ruthlessly as he has tossed aside his brother.

    • KoRAR says:

      @TN DEMOCRAT
      They lost their mother, their father took care of himself and Camila, only their grandmother occasionally met them and Spencer, and in reality they were left to their own devices. They only had each other, they should be able to count on each other and support each other, and William “took care” of his younger brother so much that when Harry was welcomed to Eton, he told him not to get close to him and it would be best if he pretended that they didn’t know each other. What a wonderful brother, what a bond that Meghan “broke”.

      I suppose the reason for this rude and cruel “welcome” to Harry at Eton was the fact that Harry was the cool brother from a young age, Harry had charisma and the ability to win people over, Harry was always the popular brother, and William was afraid that Harry would outshine him, which he would easily do without even trying. 😄

  35. SiriusSiren says:

    The British press is so melodramatic. He didn’’t lose his brother because he stepped down from being a working royal, he lost his brother because he behaved like a raving lunatic when his brother got married.

  36. Me at home says:

    Charlotte from the Daily Mirror made this up. End of. Which is why she phrases everything as “William must have felt…” and “I think William was broken….” Charlotte has zero idea whether William felt anything besides ongoing rage. But the press has been ordered to make William look less like the vindictive rage monster he actually is and more like someone who is fit to be king. And Charlotte has been told to make it happen. So here we are with this fairy tale.

  37. Sean says:

    It’s this endless story of poor, sad, betrayed royal victims of Harry and his evil mixed-race American wife that’s caused interest in the Royal Family to decline.
    Americans love a dark horse, an underdog who stuns and overcomes cruel opposition as H&M have done.
    If the underdogs happen to be attractive and young too, watch out.
    This shouldn’t be a difficult fact to absorb specially after a 250 year relationship.
    Palace courtiers must really be awfully incompetent and managed by an alcoholic family that just doesn’t care.
    PR and the WWII alliance, had allowed Americans to forget the trouble with royals.
    Harry and Meghan, specially in their quiet, stately CA existence, have revealed the royals and their pet press for what they are.
    If I was Camilla, I’d start making jam.

  38. Amy Bee says:

    William grieved the lost of his scapegoat not his brother.

  39. L4Frimaire says:

    I think that guy has serious issues. Those incandescent with rage stories are there to stay. Both him and his wife are fixated on the Sussexes and the way he keeps briefing how he hates Harry and wants to punish him and Meghan for leaving and not putting up with his bullshit makes him seem unstable. The only thing he’s grieving is no longer being able to control the Sussexes. When Charles passes he shouldn’t assume they’ll show him the restraint and respect Harry has shown his father, who frankly doesn’t deserve it.

  40. J.Ferber says:

    These crazy Brits are obsessive, greedy and never let go of anything. I was just talking to someone from Zimbabwe (another English colony) about how the English royals take what doesn’t belong to them and never let igo (the 20 billion dollar diamond from India, the diamond necklace given to the English for a Danish/English royals wedding that never came off, the Elgin marbles stolen from Greece–which the Greeks made a museum for to shame the English into giving them back, but no go,etc.). I’d like to add Prince Harry and Princess Meghan to that list. They are people, not things, but the same theory presides. The English certainly felt that Prince Harry belonged to them, though he couldn’t be locked up in a safe with all the other stolen valuables. The other royals, the yellow rags of newspapers and the English people CANNOT let Prince Harry go and cannot forgive Princess Meghan from “stealing” him. In their rapacious minds, Harry was a stolen jewel (stolen by the persecuted Princess Meghan) and they will never obsessively (and fiendishly) try to get him back while trashing him and his wife incessantly. It is a possessive, vindictive mindset and the beautiful royal couple have escaped and are doing very well. The psychotic English can and will cry and howl about it forever. But don’t worry: they have Wilbur and Katy forever!!!! Enjoy.

  41. Mabel says:

    Looks like they are planning to bury the “Megxit Debacle” with Charles, blame everything on the father son relationship and throw it in the coffin with Chuck.. There was another article saying that when William went to UNI he had a hard time because he missed HARRY!!! The same guy who ignored his brother the whole time at Eton.

    I think they are setting up the narrative that William would LOVE his brother back but Harry is such a vindictive meanY!!! DARVO
