So Harry didn't turn up for the memorial service for Prince Philip.
Is that the final nail in his royal coffin?
At the end of the day it was his Grandfather.
I uses to respect Harry but afraid that's gone now.

"None of us know what's really gone on but you can't snub a dead person."
Just doesn't look great if you're not at his memorial service.
I know we don't and never will get the full story of what's the rift in the family but in my opinion he should have shown

I don't follow the goings on of Prince Harry closely but wasn't there a problem with security? |

Don't know if there was. I assume with other senior royals in attendance security would have been top notch.
It could be the security issue on arrival in UK, hotels etc etc.

"Why did you respect him in the first place? What has he done to you so he lost that?
Does him having a bad relationship, negate his time in the armed forces? Or his work on the invictus games? "
To me he will always be a 'comrade in arms' but even comrades can err.
I find the whole thing very sad. |

Despite my earlier comments everything the royal family does publicly I'd highly symbolic and calculated to send out a message. Quite what message HRH was sending having Prince Andrew help her to her chair I'm not sure... |

Agreed there. I thought Andrew taking the Queen to her chair showed they've not blackballed him totally.

Families falling out is always sad. I've fallen out with mine. I think it's bad enough to an individual when it happens regardless if which side they are on, yet alone have newspapers and the like picking at the scabs of the wound.

I didn't go to dad's funeral. When he was ill I made every effort I could to support him. For example, when I found out he was going to see the specialist alone because his partner found the appointments depressing, I rang the family cancer nurse to find out what he was going to be told, knowing it was bad news I drove 4 hours straight off a 12 hour night shift to pick him up as a surprise as he stood waiting for the bus (he was no longer allowed to drive and his partner was too busy to give him a lift).
When on another visit his partner had yet another row with him as he was trying to help her setting up her own business and said she couldn't cope with him, I brought him home with me. He stayed with my ex wife and I for a few weeks until his partner got fed up with us not pressuring him to write his will and she drove up out of the blue and whisked him off - I can only assume she succeeded in her wish as none of his children got anything to remember him by.
When he went into a coma while visiting her family the other side of the country I drove over and spent the best part of 12 days beside his bed until he passed. When we got told that his partner had arranged for his body to be moved back to where they lived - 5 hours away from his mother, sister, daughter and son without speaking to any of us and presented us with a bill for the bits of the funeral service they wanted us to pay for, the whole of his family declined to go and held our own get together.
You never know what has gone on in a family, and personally the whole business of you have to respect the dead is bollocks. You do what's right for people while they're alive and able to benefit from your efforts - anything you do after their death means sod all to them and is only done for your own sake and the sake of others who are watching you.

The only points for going to a funeral are for personal closure, and to see people that you haven’t seen for years that you want to reminisce with.
If either of those things aren’t there, there’s no point. |

My Dad who lost his mam at the age of 22. Told me he never bought flowers for her grave, because what use are dead flowers to a dead person? I don't agree with much of what my Dad says, but that kind of summarises what I feel. Treat people right when they are alive, it's pointless when they are gone. |

Is that what memorial services are for ? So those attending can look great ? No wonder he didn't go. |

My thoughts are this ........
It's a family matter. A private matter. What does it matter how you judge these family members about a funeral and honouring their dead ? Nothing. It's between a person and their own conscience. Non related people should get on with looking after their own business or their own families business. |

I recall reading something along the lines of his current security arent licenced to operate in the UK, he asked for a UK police/security detail and he would cover the cost.
He was told no. |

Funerals (and by extension, memorial services) are for the living, not the dead.
He can't snub his dead grandfather, but his live grandmother may or may not be miffed. If that's the worst thing that happens to her this year, she'll be doing alright.
Who knows and if I'm honest, who cares?

I don't think they were trying to send out any kind of message.
He was there as a member of a family not as a royal.
Despite what people may think of him she is still his mother and he was attending his father's memorial and helping his frail mother get to her seat so I really don't understand what kind of message should have been sent. |

Andrew was the obvious choice, as he is the only single child.
Whilst there is an air of murkiness around him, he hasn't actually been convicted of anything. |

Private family affair, played out in the public domain, where the kangaroo Court of public opinion are judge, jury and executioner.
People who have no insight into what goes on behind the Royal front door, or why decisions are made, passing judgement on things they know bugger all about.
Damned if he attended, damned if he stayed away.
Thats what I think.

Because the American legal system is different to the UK.
And as was stated, he's not been found guilty of anything.

I’ve never visited any of my loved ones graves. What’s the point? Their bodies are there sure, but the memories of them, their love etc are in my heart.
Nothing will change that. Putting flowers on their headstones won’t bring them back.
And besides, I remember them everyday, in my own way. I’m sure Prince Harry is the same.
I wish people would just let them get on with it, like they have wanted, instead of picking over every reason behind each of their intentions. |

You would have thought he would have been mad to support his grandmother.
Also yes they have Asked people to leave them alone yet haven't stepped out of the spotlight and keep courting publicity so they are getting what they want and thats to be talked about and kept in the public eye. |

Not sure how you got to that conclusion.
Harry should have been there, his absence is just more self-serving posturing. |

A situation of his own making, entirely.
As the queen’s previous head of security said. He could have stayed with his dad or his brother and been covered by their security.
He wants things every way |

Well that’s between him and his conscience. He might have felt it better not to attend as to not overshadow it. Like all the gossip put about when he attended the funeral and press folk were trying to lip read his conversation with his brother on the walk back to Windsor Castle.
Either way, in the eyes of the press whatever he did would be wrong.

I recall reading something along the lines of his current security arent licenced to operate in the UK, he asked for a UK police/security detail and he would cover the cost.
He was told no.
A situation of his own making, entirely.
As the queen’s previous head of security said. He could have stayed with his dad or his brother and been covered by their security.
He wants things every way "
Yep he should do what everyone else wants. His mum was killed in an accident chased by the Press when he was just 12. So what if there's a risk of the same thing happening to his wife and small children. He can just get new ones. People hate Meghan anyway.  |

"I’ve never visited any of my loved ones graves. What’s the point? Their bodies are there sure, but the memories of them, their love etc are in my heart.
Nothing will change that. Putting flowers on their headstones won’t bring them back.
And besides, I remember them everyday, in my own way. I’m sure Prince Harry is the same.
I wish people would just let them get on with it, like they have wanted, instead of picking over every reason behind each of their intentions.
It wasn’t a funeral. It’s want graveside. It was a memorial service. The rest of the family turned out to support his grandmother. He didn’t
Well that’s between him and his conscience. He might have felt it better not to attend as to not overshadow it. Like all the gossip put about when he attended the funeral and press folk were trying to lip read his conversation with his brother on the walk back to Windsor Castle.
Either way, in the eyes of the press whatever he did would be wrong.

Possibly why HM was happy to walk in holding her son's arm. |

"None of us know what's really gone on but you can't snub a dead person.
Just doesn't look great if you're not at his memorial service.

Don't know if there was. I assume with other senior royals in attendance security would have been top notch.
It could be the security issue on arrival in UK, hotels etc etc.
Could be.
Despite my earlier comments everything the royal family does publicly I'd highly symbolic and calculated to send out a message. Quite what message HRH was sending having Prince Andrew help her to her chair I'm not sure...
I don't think they were trying to send out any kind of message.
He was there as a member of a family not as a royal.
Despite what people may think of him she is still his mother and he was attending his father's memorial and helping his frail mother get to her seat so I really don't understand what kind of message should have been sent. "
As I said every royal public event uses symbolism, the Duchess of Cornwall wore Edinburgh green for example. Having Prince Andrew escort her was a public declaration of her support for him. I don't think it's a bad thing I was just making an observation.

^^ by the same token Prince Harry not attending is significant and has caused speculation on his relationship with the rest of the family.
The same happens within all families, it's just hugely more significant with the royals. |

Security options were available to him. But he clearly wasn’t prepared to stay with his brother or father. That is a situation of his own making.
He wants people to foot the bill for him whatever he does, wherever he lives. |

So many armchair royal correspondents, inventing and ascribing scenarios and reasons.
Basically, anyone who is remotely anti-royal, will find some fault with some part of the whole thing, in order to justify a bit of spleen venting or moral outrage. If Harry had attended, it would have been something else, maybe the cost, maybe the fact that Andrew *was* there, etc. This is just the easiest peg to hang some criticism off. |

So if anyone ever disapproves of the actions of one or more royals (or ex-royals), then they must clearly be anti-Royal? That’s too simplistic. I’m pretty sure they there are ardent royalists who aren’t thrilled with some of the things that some of the royals have done. |

Here we go with the false equivalency. I'm sure there are loads of pro royals who might not agree with aspects of this service. None of them are here though are they, complaining about Harry. |

"So Harry didn't turn up for the memorial service for Prince Philip.
Is that the final nail in his royal coffin?
At the end of the day it was his Grandfather.
I uses to respect Harry but afraid that's gone now.

Why did he not go? |

Because there's a hole in his human suit and his lizard skin shows through. There wasn't enough time for illuminati to repair it so HRH told him to stay home  |

I’m not anti-royal, but I do think Harry has let himself down by not attending. I’m sure there were complications, but just find a way to attend. |

Ageed. Seems strange that the rest of the royals (when not on royal duties) get by day to day in shops and life without outriders and armed response units, yet Harry couldn't deal with it. Messed up man full of contradictions - genuine grand gestures and nazi uniforms: names child Lillibet but won't bring her to see grandmother. Guess it's the downside to "heir and a spare" like ol' Uncle Andrew |
