Maybe your brother just didn't like you ;-)
Well me and everyone else, all his mates all over the world it seems! He lives abroad, for over 30 years, he was 40 when they met, for his 50th, my mum and dad were invited, her entire extended family, and one of his mates who lived 6000 miles away, who contacted me to explain he wasn't going as he just could not stick her...! It was embarrassing for him.

It's sad, but not unheard of, and as my parents say, he's not a boy, he has to sort it himself or live with it. My mum spoke to her at Xmas a few years back and asked her not to speak to her son in such a derogatory way under her roof, the missus said nothing at the time and hasn't spoken to my mother directly since.
She's a proper .

I was given this rare commemorative plate by an acquaintance, so what you chaps think, should I hold on to it or now is a good time to sell?

Be careful with it, it has a machined weak point right down the middle, set to fail by 2022!!

Were they ever in the spotlight to the same degree?

My perception is no and that you simply don't and never did get the same coverage of Anne or Andrew's children.

.
Possibly because such children haven’t had Harvey Weinstein’s PR team stoking the pot for the last 12 months.

‘The press killed his mum’ ? Ffs are you Al Fayed?

Surely even the Royal Family and the Fayeds saw the ads from the 80s, ‘clunk click, every trip’ and ‘ don’t drink and drive’? biggrin

I struggle to understand this conviction he "hates the press" - when by their own website, they're entirely aiming on carrying on a deep relationship with "the press" rather than adopting a lifestyle that takes them out of the public eye (and where he'd be absolutely in the right to say "leave me the fk alone")...

Doesn't seem logical, if there really is such hatred...
They're being used to controlling a deal of their own "press" via social media platforms, they've been prolific on this media, moreso than any royal / couple before them. So whilst they will engage with the press going forward, it will only be those that they are mates with and can influence what they write and how they write it. Anyone who doesn't tow the line, will be ignored and ostracized as much as they can. That's the plan, they've pretty much said so!

After a chance encounter with a Royal we have kept in contact and he’s going to spill the beans on this when we next meet. But it won’t be for a few weeks so this will all be old news - and I shouldn’t post the details anyway but probably will.

Sandringham now has a nutter standing on his Discovery mouthing off through a megaphone - where are the snipers?
It's "4x4 Emergency Response", surely!

He's probably only there in case there is a flurry of snow and he needs to rescue the Queen..!

Frogmore House is the bit I really don’t get. 5 km from the end of the Northern runway of LHR, the runway which carries nearly of the landings, they have ‘planes thundering overhead every 90 seconds. I live about 15 kmfrom the airport and it is tolerable there, you couldn’t pay me enough to live in Frogmore.
You could always try an Island in Vancouver, but there they have the Navy stationed offshore for the first time ever, getting in the way...

There was an interesting interview on LBC yesterday with a journalist who's spent 15 years on royal duty for the Mail of all papers.

I forget her name but she said Harry basically spent 15 years telling her he wished he could simply walk away from it all.

Her view was that whilst meeting Meghan may be the catalyst for this and has given him a reason to do so it's wide of the mark to say it's her "doing".

I still think there's way too much projection going on here and I think some of you would be massively uncomfortable if someone were talking about your wives or mothers in similar terms based off so much smear and innuendo and so little little direct knowledge.
That, I can understand - the "walking away from it all".

Seems to fall apart when the "walking away from it all" really isn't, and instead is "walking into even worse, but with dosh coming into the current accounts".
I'm with you on this entirely. Look at some of the other "Royals" such as the Tindals, Beatrice and Eugenie etc. Even Anne and Capt Mark then her new bloke. They all have set up businesses, many to do with Horses, farming, (although more PR based for the Yorks, agreed), but Harry could have EASILY (15 years ago), decided to do go and look after one of the massive estates, farms, etc within the Royal portfolio etc, and kept his titles, status, and gone about his private life pretty much un-harassed, as the others do.
but he didn't, either wasn't interested, or decided he wanted something more. And again, it is odd, when Kate and Wills went on tour and on engagements, he went with them often, when if he wanted to step away from it all, seems odd.

I am convinced that he's changed his tune much more recently than that LBC article suggests. As for why, well who knows!

Although Charles' son (!), I cannot see why he could not have done pretty much what the York's kids have done with their lives, ie gone and got fairly regular jobs / businesses. They've got more regular partners, ie non celebrities, and seem to get on with life unabated by press intrusion. One wonders if Harry and certainly HArry and Meghan are blameless in the way the media see them.
