Sorry you're confused.
I am a bit.
I’m simply saying that a meeting with a senior member of the Royal Family helped a friend of mine at a time of need and had a profound effect.
You appear to think that’s absolutely absurd and the only person who could’ve possibly achieved anything is a mental health professional.
That’s quite a leap, especially as you know the square root of fuxk all about the specific situation.

I can quite believe someone with serious mental issues could feel helped by meeting a Royal. Proves the point really.......

Ouch. And indeed, Me-owww.

Maybe the person needed someone to listen. To smile with them. To agree witn them. To make them feel better about themselves in a non clinical environment. Maybe they'd never had that before, and meeting a member of royal family did that. Not by being a trained counsellor, but just be being...a person??

And the same perosn might be thinking "wow. Of all the people a member of the royal family could speak to, they spoke to..and listened to... me"

I can see that having a positive influence. So, in that regard, why not? Whats wrong with that?

I have worked in a mental nealth Trust. Not with any relevant qualifications, but to have a conversation with a patient about cars, racing, whatever was very good for them. It helped them feel... normal. With no stigma attached to why they were there. Just a normal conversation, which many of us take for granted.

Sorry but....with regard to the example I gave, where exactly did this bit come from?
I was talking about a bereaved relative, not someone with a complex personality disorder, chronic depression or the like.
Please stop making it out to be something it simply isn’t.

Harry and Meghan?
Nah the British people that think they own Harry’s life.



Harry served in the Military for alot longer than the butthurts that complain about him moving to the USA/Canada.

As you are American I guess you do have some right to comment.

I think most British couldn't give a monkeys.

Now I'm not sure if you are joking or not.
No, he’s not. It’s an infantile word.

Has anyone caught the Mike Graham show on Talk Radio I know he does regular impressions of Meghan and Harry. I think the slot is around 12:45 maybe only on a Friday. Funny

He's saying what "some of us" are thinking and looking at his history I'm not sure he's in a great position to comment on what others should or shouldn't be doing

Not really. I seemed to remember when kate and Wills got married he as painted by the media as the Black Sheep of the family. I can't think why the Daily Mail (who were being sued by Megs, completely coincidentally) would suddenly consider him to be the Voice of Reason or as somebody whose opinion was worth more than mine or yours.

In between messaging me asking if there are any more Meghan piccies
To be fair though I also remember him being regarded as a bit of a dark horse
Personally I think his (dark horse relation not Countdowns ) comments are quite apt expressed bluntly

Apologies, I thought you were the American using 'butthurt' on here.

It's interesting to see Meghan pop up in this story. Perhaps they met during an early stage of her ongoing intensive social climbing campaign. Given his potential wealth at the time I suspect she would have been very keen to sit on him.

Friend of mine taught Harry to fly choppers at Sandhurst. Says we was a great student

He's been taken over by wokeness however. He should really give all the cash and privilege back. Including presumably his wife, who he can't seriously think he'd be with if he hadn't been born into such ill-gotten privilege?

Taught him in officer training and then in the field somewhere flying lynx I believe at one point yes. Sorry if I wasn't precise enough for you!
