Sorry , but if you had researched better the Invictus game was an idea “stolen” by Harry from the USA’s Warrior Games and the palace set it up H to shine! And since, we have seen H’s true colours and the Wounded soldiers were just pawns in H’s game! And the Queen did more for Meghan than she ever did for Diana . So with the Press and people! But this wasn’t enough for the pair. They wanted to be the star and to be No. 1. Greed… yes it was greed! Greed for power, greed for fame, greed for money. What Meghan wanted she couldn’t get! Hence Megxit!

@@Ariadne7710 Thanks! It makes sense Charles saw it first and set it up for Harry. I think it's mean spirited for anyone to accuse Harry of "stealing" the idea.

[@jancooke272]

Dr Ludwig Guttman held the first paralympics for veterans from Stoke Mandeville Hospital in 1948. The Warrior Games did not start until 2010. Harry did not 'start' the Invictus, the Royals were behind it because they didn't know what on earth to do with him. Intelligence is not his forte, and this was the perfect vehicle for him to front. He has never given Dr. Guttman any credit for his inspired idea to ensure veterans became focused, inspired and challenged.

All of you are believing the lies and attacks against Harry & Meghan. Why? Harry was the star of the royal family. He's got his mother, Diana's personality. Moreover, he has leadership skills and charisma. Will & Kate pale in comparison, but are embiggened by Will's status as heir to the throne. Bottom line: H&M will be fine, and they are much better off out of the gilded cage. Why can't the British media stop talking about and attacking the Sussexes? Because they are a meal ticket for the royal rota.

[@kitty6720]

He had 24/7 security of Gurkhas with him. He was never and would never have been allowed to be in any real danger. As for Invictus Games, they were created with the help of the Buckingham Palace and Haz's then Private Secretary Edward Lane Fox (I think, that was his name), who were tasked with improving H's image following a string of scandals in previous years. Look at this year's Games: all PR was about H&M, the latter in particular: endless fashion parade of carelessly chosen expensive outfits, while attending events for veterans! Basically no spotlight on veterans and their stories, which is what PR should've been about. The reason why IG was so successful while under BP's watch is because they know what's important. With Hollywood PR teams that H&M employ, they don't think about veterans the same way as BP did. Ah, let's hope that the documentary about IG on Nflix, will be somewhat better.

Even more, he was allegedly deeply resented because he put all soldiers around him in danger (naturally, in war, a Royal is a target). His presence was not wanted, as those around him faced quite increased risk. He was aalegedly absolutely protected, catered to, and not allowed to be put into risky situations.

Harry was NEVER put in danger in the war like the Invictus warriors. There’s no way he would’ve been put near bombing or gunfire, so his military career is anything but impressive as that’s not what war is really like. These other soldiers literally put their lives on the line and there was a good chance of injury or death. No PTSD for him because he was never stressed as he knew his life more guarded than the two countries at war. Also, why does Harry and everyone else forget that William lost a mother at a young age too. Everyone treats it like just Harry had to walk behind her coffin and was so devastated. William was very close to his mother and his grief is never acknowledged because he never whines about it like Hazbeen does.

[@dawnyockey1475]

And that is why they called him “Bunker Harry”

[@louisetitterton507]

I think even, worse, as the eldest, Diana supposedly treated him like an adult and cried on his shoulder when her love affairs were going wrong.

[@sashilacy7327]

I don’t think that’s really true… Everyone acknowledges that William went through the same thing ..But…he was a little older which made it more manageable possibly and I think because his future was cut out for him since It’s very young…And he had a different kind of personality he kept on a path that moved him forward! I think one of the problems for Harry was that he never did really have a path or know what it was! Which is what I think caused a lot of searching for him!

[@lisica8458]

I suspect that Harry's level of risk in the military was about the same as Diana's on the minefield -- little or none at all.

Meghan Markle is struggling for relevance now because she had wasn't relevant before. She had no relevance coming into the RF which is why there’s been such suspicion on her Megxit motives. i know she claims the term Megxit is misogynistic but it’s not - it’s accurate. She was a nearly 37 yr old actress who’s biggest success was a supporting role in a little known cable tv drama. its also ridiculous to state that since age 21 she successfully earned her own money so she was suddenly begging her husband for money. The way Tina Brown made this sound is ridiculous. Meghan's vulgar displays of wealth are the epitome of "new money" - she spent £1M+ on clothes in the first year of being with Harry. I mean, its difficult to put a positive spin on the behaviour of these two but they seem ungrateful, deceptive and worst of all unkind to the people to whom they owe everything.

One thing I will take umbrage with, Harry did NOT excel as a member of the military. He may well have served in Afghanistan, but he was always well protected and never in immediate danger. However, his commitment to the Invictus games was admirable before it became a lucrative enterprise for him and his wife.

[@minkgin3370]

I had an on-line disagreement about this only a couple of days ago. He was known among the other soldiers as ‘Bunker Harry’. Why….because he spent all his time in a bunker or a tent. He never fought in any battles & was never in any danger. As if they’d let a Prince of the Realm fight in any battles.🤪….& before anyone says Prince Andrew did, I always thought so too until I heard one of his comrades of the Falklands War say on the radio exactly what he did. He flew over the Atlantic looking for subs. Yes, he was there - in any danger No.

She's all for women's empowerment, but is dependent on her husband's title for any future successes. I agree with Tina is that she is all over the place and is having great difficulty in 'branding' herself.

She had to find something for Harry so it was Invictus, mental health things he was doing in Britain. Harry said they took the Netflix to pay for security he also found out that his moms money would soon be gone if they tried to live and are living like they were in Britain. California is very expensive. The Queen did help Meghan but Meghan didnt like the finite details and being under the Queens rules.

Coveting, wanting, by any name is a form of greed. All that quite private life that Harry said he wanted doesn't bring the revenues to afford his wife's fashion show, nor gives her the platform to exhibit the fruits of her marriage.

The reality is that vets are not just what Harry is known for. Harry is lovely with the general public, the elderly, and children. He knew how to make it about others, but Meghan, with the makeup artist, the extremely expensive clothing never worn again, seems to be about herself. Which kind of makes sense when you think about it. Harry would try to support his wife as much as anyone, and of course more. But Meghan can't find her humility, and that is what makes the popular royals popular. Sophie Wessex is a good example, as is the Princess Royal. They make sure the people they meet feel important and that their work is important. It is not their fashion show and photo op. Much of what Anne and Sophie do is overlooked by the press.

The contrast to the behavior of Harry's bride is striking, an actress who refused to play her part. I don't think she fully understood she was the wife of Number 6, forever in the background, forever a supporting role. If she thought she'd be allowed to steal center stage from the main cast, she was woefully mistaken. I think that was her primary reason for exiting UK, in search of a spotlight she could call her very own. Sadly for Meghan, she's an over-the-hill actress with nothing to her credit but the Windsor surname. In her case, that holds little more than gossip column value in the USA.

I was really thinking of going online to buy this book, but listening to this KZbin I have changed my mind. The research for the book very poor my opinion. H was her 3rd husband at least, her first husband was Joe Giuliano from a wealth family, he and his parents realised what Nutmeg was like allegedly, he applied for Divorce and his parents alleged asked for annulment saying because of Joe’s career, he is now an Attorney. She married Trevor Engelson later on, then she got rid of him when she was working in Canada on Suits. Then she was living with the Chef Corey in Canada. Then meeting H she went after him while still living with Corey, Nutmeg was being cut out of Suits. Allegedly Nutmeg age 44 will be 45 this August. Check the Courts document on last Court Suing case by Nutmeg, Daily Mail. She was asked what was her age! Allegedly

[@jancooke272]

I do think that she thought she could 'share' top billing and when she realised she would only ever be the supporting act, she was off. I think she then thought she and Harry could be the new 'Obamas' without the intelligence, political knowledge, years of experience and hard work and when he plan and a half in half out role was torpedoed, she seethed and has done so ever since.

Tina Brown lives in America and sorry the education level of the average American is limited to their own country.

WHY DOES THE AMERICAN VOYEURRISM NOW HAVE TO RECHECK AND PUBLISH INTIMATE DETAILS ABOUT THE MEMBERS OF THIS WORLD-renowned QUEEN and her family members?

Harry has not an original idea in his head. He copied the Warrior Games of the USA after he was invited to visit. As it says it "games" and that is all Harry is capable of. Someone who was injured should be running the games. How can he related being coddles and pampered. It's just a vehicle for his grandstanding.

Tina, congratulations on your success and your comments on Camilla are correct she is very well liked in the UK and is a truly lloyal and dignified lady. Your comments on Harrys military career is somewhat askewed as he admitted himself that Invictus games were taken directly from the US "Wounded Warrior Games" which H was asked to open in 2013 . The Wounded Warrior Games were founded in 2009/10 by General Gary Cheek and John Wordin while doing a veterans recovery bike ride. Also William and Kate gave H One million pounds to further the Invictus games. In 2020 as Captain General of The Marines H turned down a request to attend a memorial for Marines killed in a bombing in 1989 in Deal, Kent, England in favour of attending "The Lion King" premier with his wife much to the horror of the memorial organisers. Perhaps a book on H and his time in military service would be enlightening for the general public or perhaps listen to Trevor Coult MC (military cross) on KZbin.
