I trust you are not serious. He is becoming a pathetic needy spoilt brat.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64145773
Desperately sad to see Prince Harry wanting his father and brother back but neither the King or the Prince of Wales prepared to reconcile.
Or maybe already is.
Just a thought on the criticism Harry has got from Army brass about his claims to have killed 25 Taliban, and them saying no Serviceman would openly talk about their personal tallies.
The RAF pilots of WW2 claimed kills as a matter of course, and were judged on whether they became’Aces’ on such numbers.

All of these stories are why he's the Spare and not the Heir.
Also, he was born second. And probably to a different father.

There’s a sad inevitability about all this; both what has happened and what is yet to come.
I don’t really know or care who is right and wrong in terms of the royal family and his missus, I doubt either party has covered itself in glory. The moment he decided to walk away from his royal duties it was inevitable he would be cut off financially, and the moment that happened it was inevitable he would have to sell his soul to the media in order to maintain anything like the lifestyle he is used to.
As for what is to come, Meghan Markle has gone from an actress most had never heard of to one of the most prominent women in the world. At some point in the not so distant future, his value to her will have been spent. She’ll have got what she wanted, and he will be a very isolated young man.
Do I care? Not particularly, but take the profile of the people involved out of the equation and the breakdown of a family’s relations is sad nonetheless, especially when you consider what Harry and his brother went through as children.
That, and since we always spent New Year in Kings Lynn with my auntie when I was a nipper, I would always be dragged off to Sandringham on New Year’s Day to see the royal family; I had a small affinity Harry, who is the same age as me, in that he was the only one there who looked as f***ing bored as I did.
Feel for what is to come for the lad, but I can’t help but question his decision making.

I fear for Harry. If the money does dry up how will he afford to maintain his comb-over?
Offspring of in-bred, hyper privileged dynasty turns out to be batshit crazy.
Who would have guessed. And I imagine he’s the least bonkers of the lot.

There's a common misconception in this, I believe... I don't think it was ever about privacy as in "I want my private life kept private", more about controlling their own media narrative, limiting press intrusion and talking to the media on their own terms.
You can agree or disagree on whether or not they're doing it the right way, but I don't have a problem with anyone wanting to control what people know about them

I can't say I'm interested. If anyone wants to read about Kings and Princes, the War of the Roses is well worth a read when spares used to stick red hot pokers up their brothers arses rather than speak to James Corden.
Anyway, my favourite fact about this brainless div is his A Level results. Imagine having the most expensive education in the country and if not the world but only having the grey matter to do 2 A levels as 3 was too many. Despite the additional thinking time, all he achieved was at D at Geography and a B in Art. If brains were shit, his wouldn't even smell.

To be fair, I think he said he’d ‘removed some chess pieces from the board’, referring to them in a tactical/military sense, which had been taken at comparing them to an inanimate/inhumane object.
Which I don’t think is what he meant, the silly sausage.

same thing really, privacy is just high degree of control. eitherway, going into such minutiae about one's life does not give you much control once the story has been told.

Exactly this, its no surprise is it, we've created these people by elevating them to god like status based on being born in to a family! Then we are surprised that the unrealistic standards we judge them by are rarely met!
Like you said he's probably the least bonkers of the lot. Listen to this interview with an ex Royal Security Officer - 'Prince Andrew had 72 cuddly toys which had to be arranged by the maids in the same way every day or he would go absolutely mental!'
We need to put an end to this circus and abolish the monarchy!

peg with the bulging eyeballs?
Surely if you wanted to get out of speaking to James Corden, it would make more sense to shove a red hot poker up his arse rather than your brothers?
'I trained in the British army, so I can handle myself.'
'Did I mention that my brother knocks me about leaving me with bruises? Yeah, he's really mean'.
'I would like to re-conciliate with my family.'
'And I am worried about the safety of our family'
'Hey, did I tell you how I killed 25 Taliban? They were sub human chess pieces.'
'Did I mention that my brother knocks me about leaving me with bruises? Yeah, he's really mean'.
'I would like to re-conciliate with my family.'
