    The time has arrived, and H.M. The Queen has decided to strip the two ungrateful pipsqueaks from their unearned titles.
    Now, I am sure, I am not the only one to wish for them to lose the Dukedom as well.

    Good riddance.

    Harry served in active combat in Afghanistan and his fund raising for the Invictus Games and other charities has been admirable.

    Calling him a pipsqueak is quite distasteful.

    **and believe you me, I'll be first in line to wave goodbye to ALL the royal family when Elizabeth passes. The whole concept of monarchy belongs to the Dark Ages. But I do recognise that Harry is one the most normal and respectable of all that family. Given his family history (mother hounded to death by the press) and the fact it is highly unlikely he would ever become monarch, I can understand why he has chosen the life he has.

    Every single member of that family has an unearned title.

    The government and the royal family made this boy walk through the streets with his moms coffin to please the media. He then went on to serve in the military and on the front line in Afghanistan He created the Invictus games because governments and media ignored injured war heroes. He has raised millions for charities and highlighted the importance of mental heath support. And now the powers that be want you to believe he is a traitor for protecting his wife and child from what he and his mom had to deal with. Give your head a wobble if you think this boy has grown in to anything but a man

    I can perfectly well understand why he would wish for a life for his family away from the unwanted press and publicity. What I don't understand is how giving an interview to Oprah Winfrey is going to help achieve that.

    Maybe that's his wife's doing, she is the showbiz side of the family, how much would OW give for an interview with a couple with better than Hollywood status.

    I walked behind the coffins of my parents, just as young. I haven't had a gilded up bringing, I have had to work since the age of 15 and as for the military is concerned, I am grateful for his service although I found his choice of words distasteful when sending off hellfire missiles at insurgents and collateral damage alike with

    Or donning a nazi swastika at a party. For which he hasn't personally apologised todate... As far as I know.

    I used to like Harry, and , believe it or not, I still do, and hope for a family reconciliation, but as long as he is meghan doormat it will never happen.
    Strangely, I respect his choice, as everyone has a right to happiness, only I don't agree with it.

    Another american divorcee got her claws into royal flesh and won't let go.

    Live long and prosper

    There is a difference on the funeral parades and I doubt very much either of your parents were hounded by the press nor the funerals of your parents became a media event unless I missed it.
    're the link about his gaming skills I don't read or hear Harry make those comments what I do read is a b rated journalist interpretation of his comments with a little bit added on I strongly suggest you look at his actions in the video at around about 2 minutes!
    Nazi armband an apology was issued this says a wrong was done I think he was 20 at the time yes he should of known better but there was an admission of wrongdoing.
    His marriage your comments are most typical of why the man has taken his family away from the UK, why Meghan will always struggle to be accepted by the nods in the back passages of Whitehall.
    So he married an American so what, is your wife from Italy?
    Who do you want to live long and prosper?

    The media have gone after Harry and Megan from a very early stage.
    Maybe Middleton and Markle didn't get along? Who cares!? Maybe this caused tension between William and Harry? Who cares!? Those are all normal family dynamics. It is undeniable though that Middleton has been portrayed in a much more sympathetic manner than Markle ever since those stories began to emerge. I don't think that was due to racism on account of her skin colour, but due to her being an American z-list Hollywood star divorcee.

    Royals have done interviews all the time. Diana and Bashir, Charles and Dimbleby, Andrew and Maitliss. With all the mud slinging that has gone on, perhaps they want the chance to put across their side of the story?

    The thing I don't get is the bizarre fascination with Harry. Unless a terrible multi fatality accident happens, there is zero chance that he will become king. He is simply going to be the future king's son and brother. Even as son, the amount of stories that have floated around about him being the ginger haired spawn of James Hewitt can hardly be nice to read.

    If Prince Andrew or Edward said "screw this, I'm going to LA," nobody would care. Harry says it, and everyone goes bonkers.

    Strange old world.

    The apology was released by Clarence House. Not harry.

    As the Prince of Woke, he should cancel himself from pontificating on anything.

    The end.

    I am very sure that most of us on here with children would if they committed a misdemeanor or error of judgement would not put them in front of the town hall in front of a baying press keen to embaress, point score or generally have a wanton desire to ridicule for the sake of commercial gain.
    No we would defend apologise on behalf of child and chastise privetley
