Whenever we see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex these days, they look incredibly happy. They both look like a 500-pound weight has been lifted from their shoulders. Sure, the Oprah interview went to dark places, but that’s because they were discussing what happened to them on Salty White Folk Isle. Harry’s interview with James Corden showed a man who is still utterly charming and even happier than before. The trailer for The Me You Can’t See showed a man who is doing the work to become healthier and a better husband and father. The Armchair Expert interview revealed a man who has already done a ton of work to exorcise his demons. But… according to Duncan Larcombe, an idiot and royal commentator, Harry is deeply unhappy in LA. No, really!
Prince Harry is ‘far from happy’ in the US because people who are content ‘want to make amends’ and ‘don’t create arguments and criticise people’, a royal expert has claimed. Duncan Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, said Harry sounds like a man ‘desperately trying to convince himself he’s found happiness’.
‘I believe that, despite Harry’s insistence that he’s happy, he’s far from it. I don’t think he or Meghan are happy,’ he told Closer magazine. ‘Content people don’t create arguments and criticise people – content people want to make amends.’
Duncan added that he doesn’t believe Harry is in a position to ‘preach’ about how to cope with mental health issues when he is ‘clearly in the very midst’ of his own journey and ‘causing pain to his own family’. He said he believes the cause of the Duke’s anger and sadness was the trauma which came about from his mother, Princess Diana, dying when he was a child in 1997, and will never be ‘truly happy’ until he works through it.
‘[Harry] has now made the royals and the institution his enemies because of that – he’s on the warpath,’ Duncan told the publication. ‘I think what we see and hear from these interviews is a man who is desperately trying to convince himself that he has found happiness, and he has been through it all and reached the other side – that he’s finally free. I don’t think that’s the case. He and Meghan aren’t happy or free. I don’t think his move to LA has solved anything.’
I burst out laughing at “Harry will never be ‘truly happy’ until he works through” his mother’s death. Bitch, what do you think he’s been doing this whole damn time? That is literally part of The Me You Can’t See! He will address that and the work he’s done and still doing to deal with and understand what happened with and to his mom. “Content people don’t create arguments and criticise people” – the f–k?
Another WTF story making the rounds today – this time in Page Six – is that Harry “absolutely” plans to come to the statue unveiling but now “palace insiders” are worried about… something. An insider is quoted: “No one is going to tell Harry not to come, but how does he face his family? Harry’s still coming, we’re told, but how will it all go down? Will he just turn up on the day without having seen them beforehand?” LMAO. Sounds like Harry hasn’t told William what his plans are and when he would arrive and William is whining about it to anyone who will listen.

Well he’s doing a great job convincing me he’s happy. He looked pretty tan, fit, and chipper strolling on the beach with his dog.
I hope to some day be as miserable as Harry and Meghan. This “journalist” is a gaslighting fool.
They twist logic so far it breaks. Notice they say “he’d stop criticising and make amends” like it’s wish fulfillment. You can be happy with your choices and life but not to be happy with someone or something else that’s going on. But since they’re so critical, I guess they’re just not happy…
Exactly @Zapp Brannigan. The gaslighting by rota carnival and ‘grey men’ is continuing to insane proportions.
“Content people don’t create arguments and criticise people…” !? Duh! Larcombe and rota idiot brigade are completely bankrupt and certifiable. They keep projecting and telling on themselves. Any royal observer with common sense, goodwill and rational understanding realizes that it’s the failing monarchy and the scrambling, scurrilous rota clowns who are unhappily ‘creating arguments’ and endlessly ‘criticizing’ the successful Sussexes.
Honestly, Larcombe, Levin, Wootton, Junor, Seward, Arbiters, Fake Colin, et al., are so up in H/M’s heads and obsessed with everything Sussex, that the lot of them need to be placed on Scotland Yard’s fixated persons list (and keep company with Scammy Sammy).
My mission is to be as “unhappy” as Harry. Think about it. Man leaves his grandma’s servant’s quarters house, bad weather, bad food and salty people with his sexy AF wife and cute child, to live in a mansion with 16 dumb bathrooms with an ocean view. Such unhappiness!! How can he possibly endure it??
true
Harry will just have to make the best of getting away from the vindictive British media, living with his loving family in a spacious, private house with access to the beach and year-round sunshine, and continuing with a fulfilling career and meaningful charitable work. I wish him well, poor sod!
Not to mention his work is appreciated his new boss literally went on TV to praise him instead of being told that he is 2nd to his brother.
Can’t imagine what it must be like to be the focus of so much armchair obsession — people Harry hasn’t talked to and who don’t know him personally opining endlessly about how happy or unhappy he is. LOTS of projection going on.
The various pictures of him in California like the ones on the beach or playing with Archie in the yard are genuinely the happiest, most relaxed, and carefree he’s looked since childhood pics before his mum died.
There are pictures of him playing with Archie in the yard?
This Duncan must not be happy either then since he seems to need to criticize. And H shouldn’t talk about his OWN life but it’s okay for this armchair psychologist to analyze him without ever speaking to him? Why can people not just be happy for Harry? Ever.
Just goes to show that they never actually liked harry, cared for him or knew him at all. They just liked that he gave the monarchy a more human face
Duncan said that H’s wedding day was a sad day for royal reporters because it meant H would be a family man and they wouldn’t be able to write articles about him acting out and being drunk. They don’t want him to be happy because that’s not good for their business.
Duncan is a douchebag.
Whaaat? Larcombe said that? Was Harry their clown or jester? Do they see him like a human or only like a character ? Sad
More than one RR has commented on how much they preferred a drunken Harry, playing naked billiards in Las Vegas, to the contented and happy family man he’s become. They seemed to have missed the interview where he said that he’s been wanting to have kids since he was 12. All he’s ever wanted was his own family, and now that he’s gotten it, the RR are livid.
Yes. And this is also the guy who said he couldn’t wait for Archie to turn 18 so they could start going after him and make a ton of money. He’s easily in the top 3 of the most vile royal reporters, which is saying something. He doesn’t seem to have a social media presence so he flies under the radar of the Sussex squad but I’m sure Harry knows exactly who he is and what kind of monster he is.
He’s projecting from the other couple that does the forced heehaw laughs that don’t fit with the rest of the crowd. They don’t want to admit that the obviously unhappy couple stayed in the UK.
Anyone with eyes can see that Harry is the happiest he has ever been.
I saw a photo of The Other Couple’s recent engagement. The fake hyena laugh was so cringe as no one else around them was laughing. Most of the onlookers looked quite bored and the rest were just smiling indulgently. For me the forced camaraderie is a huge tell tale sign that all is not well in that household.
The keens are just too managed. Instead of being dull now they are odd, fake and still dull.
Harry was supposed to be Margaret, Version 2.0–the eternal royal wild child, scandal-factory–and scapegoat. It burns the RR he won’t play that game.
They (BRF and BM) cannot come to terms with the fact that their prince left and is happier – -with a woman who is a white English rose. Like I said, they are the ones who need therapy.
I just said something similar. Sounds like they can’t come to terms that their prince is happy living a live without royalty.
Exactly this. They think that the Royalty aspect is EVERTHING. And Harry proves it is not. I think subconsciously they are afraid that if the BFR was abolished (do I dare write it) England will go on……
They said the marriage wouldn’t last a year. It did. Then they said two years, it did. Then they said three years. It has. Now they are desperately gas lighting. Harry DOES NOT CARE. He has packed up and severed ties and they are VERY upset. Hit piece after hit piece will not make him come back. The Sussexes’ reach and impact is global and this is just the start. The RF are running scared. They know they are irrelevant.
It must sting to see H&M on a global stage when they can’t even flourish on the English Stage
These people alienated the best and most natural prompt for stories the Royal Family has had in a long time, and because they operate with such a fixed agenda, they can’t adapt to what they’ve done. They can try to stick to their agenda, and they keep making themselves look completely ridiculous.
Super toxic article from the DM. It’s not surprising but continues to be shocking.
A day before Diana dies one of the papers ran a YOU WHORE headline. That was when I stopped reading and believing the BM. They are not a force for good. The DM is just upset that despite everything lobbed at the Sussexes, they are thriving, plus Meghan’s win against them rubbed some extra salt in their wounds.
Did the headline literally read “YOU WHORE”? Or was it a title that insinuated that she was a white? I wish I knew more about that time period and the way Diana was treated right before her death vs. afterwards. Obv there was a very quick shift and it’s interesting.
I promise you the headline said YOU WHORE DIANA because according to them her mother called her a whore. Google it. The same papers TOB sold out his brother and his wife to. Harry has really seen the worst of it.
@Elizabeth Regina — Isn’t that what Harry (or Dax, I don’t remember) said in Armchair Podcast? The RRs will run a story with a false and misleading headline, and you have to read the entire thing to learn that that’s not what happened or what someone said at all.
I’ve tried to imagine what my reaction would be if I were a famous person and treated so shamefully, so shabbily, by the press. I’d probably crumple under the weight. Harry and Meghan have to be some of the most resilient people on the planet.
Yikes typo above meant to write white and it came out white! Thanks for explaining the context Elizabeth Regina although I’m sure the papers wanted that headline read out of context.
They were not happy she was publicly dating a Muslim.
Wow @Lizzie! And these are the same folks that swear there was no racism involved with their hate campaign against Meghan.
Omg whore am trying to type whore and it keeps coming out as white.
I’m pretty sure those headlines were after Diana’s death and from Paul Burrell sharing his knowledge at the inquest of a phone conversation between Diana and her mother. Her mother called her a whore for sleeping with Muslim men (Dr. Khan). The Sun’s front page was as you said YOU WHORE and the DM’s front page was THE DAY DIANA’S MOTHER CALLED HER A WHORE. If what PB said was true, either headline is terrible and so was her Mom. The phone call was 2 month’s before Diana died and according to Burrell, that was the last conversation she had with her mother. If Diana’s mother was that nasty I wouldn’t consider Frances in the name of the baby.
When the English media had spent its whole time trying to pick fights and create conflict. So I guess they’re not happy and content people?
I know, right!? Way to project, fools!
He’s been looking pretty happy in everything he’s been in.
He’s always been a polite person in interviews, but now you can see much more energy and passion when he interacts.
Probably because he doesn’t have to weigh and gauge each and every word now.
Oh brother. Give it a rest, fool. The man is clearly over the moon to be living his best life thousands of miles away from the pack of backstabbing rats you run with.
Deal with it.
Meaning, The Royals and the British media are desperately trying to convince themselves they didn’t completely make the biggest mistake of their lives by driving these two out.
Harry is probably feeling that particular intoxication that comes when you are FREE, no strings attached, from an environment like that.
This! We didn’t fail spectacularly, no Harry is sorry now.
If I was him, I’d be grinning the minute I opened my eyes every morning.
“You’ll be sorry, you’ll see!” It reeks of desperation. It would make perfect sense if this was an outburst from a jilted lover, but no, they are grown-ass men with their own families and everything. Complete strangers to the Sussexes, yet they embarass themselves in public on the daily.
Myra, when I finished reading the above, my first thought was that someone was OFFENDED. I mean, they react like Harry is making a statement about them personally–not as a royal reporter or other BM, but PERSONALLY. It’s very funny from that perspective. I’m like, uh, get a pet!
Every article published is really just the BM trying to cope inside their heads that Harry left them. Deep denial. Rationalizing. Desperately trying to convince themselves that there is no way Harry can be happy despite the mountain of evidence otherwise.
Because if Harry can be happy and successful leaving the UK and the monarchy, then they would have to accept that something is wrong with THEM. And they will deny that until the day they die.
5, 10, 20 years from now, they will STILL be pontificating that Harry is secretly miserable and will come home to them. Meanwhile Harry and Meghan will have won their Emmy, Oscar and Nobel Peace prize as their children follow in their philanthropic foot steps.
I guess they’re going through the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. I know the stages aren’t always linear.
Have they passed from denial into anger? Are they still bouncing between the two? They will never reach acceptance because they are sadistic toxic idiots.
I wonder what the RF/BM will do when they get to the bargaining stage?
They seem to be stuck in a continuous loop of denial, anger and bargaining.
Agree with all you said – the BM can’t admit he’s happy because then it means that something (ahem, the BM itself, plus the royal family) in the UK was making him unhappy.
Also, they don’t want him to be happy. What if other royals down the road decide to “abandon their duties” and move to LA (I know, not LA, but you know the BM) and buy a house with 16 bathrooms because they see how happy Harry is? What if Louis decides he’s going to move to Kentucky and raise horses or Charlotte decides to move to Italy to become a famous chef? (I’m just making up very random things here, lol.) The BM can’t have that. he HAS to be unhappy, isolated from his family, miserable in Montecito – he has to serve as a warning for all other royals.
Yup, all very true. I’m sure they are poisoning the Cambridge children’s brains as we speak. And they are still young enough were they can control the information they consume. But one day, when they are old enough get their own smart phone or iPad and can surf the internet freely, they will see Uncle Harry and Aunt Meghan and their cousins living a carefree life in California and will start asking questions.
Oh 100%. Not just for the BM but the rest of the family need him to be unhappy as well. If the Sussexes are seen as happy and content by leaving the firm, then what’s to stop Charlotte and/or Louis from leaving in 30 or so years time especially after they’ve seen their Aunt and Uncle leave and be happy and successful.
@Becks, we should keep these pre-written headlines of yours saved , sit back and wait for the BM to have them as headlines.
The kids will have been conditioned/poisoned in how they will think about what their Aunt and Uncle did by that point.
I know this because same thing happened in my family. Right after my mom died, my brother and SIL pulled some abusive sh#t on me over and over until I finally said no more, and cut them from my life. My dad told them it had to stop and the 4 of us needed to sit down and talk it out, and to get back to him as to when he and my SIL would come over. Well, it’s now 37 yrs later, and he’s *still* “getting back” to my dad. My dad decided after 1 yr. or so that he was done with my brother as well (this was after my SIL hurled a few swear words at him, my grandfather and sister at a Shabbat dinner).
LONG STORY to say, my nieces, who were 4, 2 1/2, and a few months at the time were brought up to believe I was the devil incarnate because my brother was “cut off” from my father because of what “I” did to them!
So, don’t hold out hope that Char and Lou will be in contact with or think Uncle Harry and Aunt Meg will be the ones they’d look to reach out to.
@OG – for the most part I don’t think they’re going to be in contact with Harry, except the world is very different now – they’re going to see Archie and Poppy (no stopping me now folks, its Poppy) in pap shots all over the place and they’re going to be living fantastic lives free of royal constraints. That’s going to be a factor in their mentalities IMO.
But even if not – that’s part of the point and relates to what Sofia said above. No one in the royal family at this point wants Harry to be happy, and that’s going to be the narrative that is passed onto the Cambridge kids – “oh Harry, he’s so miserable, he made the biggest mistake of his life, dont make the same mistakes he made….”
Becks, I hope that Char and Louis can, at some point, make their own choices as to whether or not they want IN that life, or out. I just hope they are not so brainwashed by the time they are ON SM themselves that they can see/make contact with their cousins, Uncle and Aunt.
I know I’m nuts, but I am SO hoping that Char grows up like the character “Eleanor” on “The Royals” 😊 As for Louis, I hope the best for his happiness. I fear for both, but esp. Char.
The anger and denial is a worse look for a tiny nation that holds its monarchy up as a symbol of gracious civilization. Now the whole world sees how savagely racist and misogynistic it has become.
Yes Merricat! We are all seeing this play out on a global stage and the constant attacks of Harry being unhappy is delusional in its self! The royal family are angry that Harry is no longer there to carry the family across a global network as we have seen for the past 20 years Baldimort has no desire to work or do anything of substance and Keen Doucheness refuses to work as well, so they are stuck with absolutely nothing to carry the royal family. They made their bed and they can lay in it as they are guilty for having committed such horrific offenses against Harry and Meghan and they are done with all of the criticism and the never ending gas lighting. They are all guilty and they refuse to take responsibility for it!!
Harry and Meghan are thriving and are delightfully happy!!
‘if Harry can be happy and successful leaving the UK and the monarchy, then they would have to accept that something is wrong with THEM. And they will deny that until the day they die.’
This is exactly it. Nothing is wrong with them, it could not be possible. Again harry is treated like the scapegoat
The BM is taking this so personally. It’s cringey. Harry is happy in the US with his wife and child, soon to be children. There is some weird element at play that so many of these reporters and their readers find this personally offensive. Is it a sense of ownership? Misplaced nationalism and xenophobia? Fear over lack of relevance? Whatever it is, it’s embarrassing.
They have totally jumped the shark, they are obsessed. Meghan came like a megalodon into that family, smarter and lovelier and far more bad ass and blew their socks off lol! They’re spinning in circles in castles trying to figure out what to do, ahahaha.
holy projection, Batman!
Dear royal ratchets: get a hobby. I suggest crochet. You’ve lost the plot, and you look more and more unhinged every day.
Do you want this to be you?
“Hi, my name is (ratchet). My job is royal reporter. My principal occupation is stirring up hate against a man that I don’t know because he married someone I didn’t want him to marry. I speculate on he and his wife’s feelings, and I denigrate every single thing this man and his wife do. I think about these two people all day long, even though they live in another country. I dream about him abandoning his wife and children and coming back to live in my country again.
“Why do I do it, you ask? Well, if I write enough mean things about him, his father and his brother will invite me to their house, and they will give me tea and cookies!”
Listener: “Dude, I want to be YOU when I grow up!” Said no one ever.
OMG, that was perfect! You get an entire audience full of applause for that!!! Standing ovation!!!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼LANNE. ➕💯. “Holy Projection, Batman”….🐀Rota sounds to me like if he changes the names he is writing about here, it could be William, Kate, or Charles. They’re the ones who can’t stop sniveling and talking trash.
Lanne- Your posts are always so insightful and witty- they’re a joy to read. I know some of the RRs lurk here on occasion, and I hope your character sketch gets passed around. (Imagine a flaming, grinning devil emoji here, lol).
Slightly related- I’ve been thinking lately about something else the rota rats have utterly failed to consider- their legacies. I mean, is this how you would want history to remember you? Do they somehow think their descendants will be proud? They bring shame upon themselves and their families, and not just now, but for however long their names might be remembered. I wonder if they’ll ever achieve clarity before the end.
“Salty White Folk Isle”
You live in America
I know, I’m from England, I live in Cali currently but plan to move back again and that’s not very encouraging to read. I’d only like my chips salty please, hold the salt on the vulgar masses. Has everyone become salty over there? They have over here that’s for sure, I blame trump 100%.
He says: ‘I think what we see and hear from these interviews is a man who is desperately trying to convince himself that he has found happiness.”
I say: I think what we see and hear from these pathetic PR attempts is a BRF who is desperately trying to convince itself that they have not utterly lost control of the narrative.
…and I’m confident that my assessment is correct, which is a lot more than they can say. Honestly, the BRF is getting more and more pathetic by the minute.
I mean no one wants to believe their ex is actually happy and Harry is their ultimate ex so they’re gonna twist themselves up to say he might be smiling on a beach with his hot wife and freaking adorable children but we know he’s really crying on the inside and missing us.
Plus, you can be happy and still angry at how you were treated. More than one emotion can happen at once. It takes time to process that anger esp with how he was treated. And is he trying to say that Harry can only be happy once he makes amends…yeah no, it doesn’t necessarily work like that.
“No one wants to believe their ex is actually happy and Harry is their ultimate ex so they’re gonna twist themselves up to say he might be smiling on a beach with his hot wife and freaking adorable children but we know he’s really crying on the inside and missing us.”
This. But usually, the bitter ex usually finds someone else that makes them happy and let’s go. But in the BM and royal family’s case, this is not an option. There won’t eventually find another Harry. He cannot be replaced. So it is a loss they can’t accept.
They won’t have another Harry until Charlotte and Louis grow up. And there will likely be even more pressure on them to conform to whatever the royals want because they’ll likely grow up hearing about “the terrible betrayal of Uncle Harry.”
Think of the lesson they will grow up learning: You better do and be exactly what we want you to do/be, and love exactly why we want you to love, or else we’re going to try to destroy your lives. It’s the rabid sports/music parents on steroids. Unlike the sports/music kids, whose parents are desperate trying to live their lives through the children, these kids will have an entire royal and media institution trying to live their lives through them. That’s terrible.
Jais, I’m confused. What does Harry have to make amends for? I wonder if any of these people stop to think about what the history books will say, because they seem to think that they will be controlling the narrative. It’s a big world out there, and everyone is watching. Written history will not support their narrative. They might want to think about how they minimize the damage, rather than making it worse. The message they’re sending is that the victim must make amends to the abuser. Harry isn’t playing by that rule anymore, and the world is rather horrified that anyone would expect him to.
Agree completely- I wrote something similar about their legacies. Hopefully they’ll be regulated to ‘the dustbin of history’ sooner rather than later.
Make amends for what?
If duncunt could find someone, anyone to want to have sex with him , maybe he too could finally find happiness. These salty white folks are so bitter with jealousy. If you get a man to look at you the way Harry looks at Megs, hold onto them for life. Harry is working on himself, the brits should get a clue and do the same for themselves.
I bet Harry told his granny he was coming but gave her no dates. Lol
I find it almost unbelievable that these nonsense tabloid stories continue to generate enough clicks to be worth writing. Shut up already, so-called experts. Shut up, and go away.
No one is ever, ever happy about losing their parent. What a cruel, fucked up thing to say about anyone!
I think the ones who are really unhappy are the Palace and the British press. They can’t accept that Harry wanted to leave and that he’s happy that he left.
Does ‘far from happy’ mean something different in England?
The man is beaming with happiness.
It might be that the BM doesn’t know what happy looks like. They’re so used to thinking “happy” is Will’s befuddlement and Kate’s hyena laugh.
If Harry is angry irs because his wife was being attacked for 4 years straight and his whimpy family did nothing about it, god these gutter rats are horrible
Sounds like lacrombe is still coming to terms with the fact that harry is actually happy away from royal life
So all those interviews where Harry was saying he wasn’t happy with royal life, he really WAS happy? But now that he’s saying he’s happy and glad to be free, he’s really NOT? Make it make sense! I’ve noticed that lately some of the most stupid and contradictory comments seem to come from this Duncan idiot. I guess he and Moo Cow Levin are in competition for who can sound the most deranged regarding the Sussexes.
Duncan’s always been one of the more amusing RRs because he’s so blatantly full of shit every time he speaks. I remember the first time he came on my radar, he was claiming he had inside sources on some ridiculous story while having a comical ‘deer in the headlights’ look on his face.
He’s also the RR who claimed in his biography that Meghan and Harry met at the Invictus Games in Orlando. He later changed it in the revised edition that came out after the engagement.
I maintain there’s a brain decaying virus afflicting British Media including so called esteemed BBC. Side effects include a high level of delusion and double standards.
I don’t know if brain-decaying fits the right mental image. I choose to visualize the cicadas that have no idea the fungus is eating them alive while they try to screw anything that they can catch.
https://www.wesa.fm/2021-05-18/the-fungus-thats-making-cicadas-sex-crazy
Every time we have seen Harry in the past 9, 10 months, in almost any context – he looks happy, with the exception being the Oprah interview, and that was obviously expected. but even then, his joy at announcing the sex of the baby was so real. Even last summer, we all were commenting on how free and relaxed they looked even in zooms.
The BM has to convince themselves the Sussexes aren’t happy because if they are happy….well then the BM cant just cope.
To whom it may concern: I am Duncan Larcombe, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story published by Royal Hatchet Job Press. I am available as a source for any article you are writing about the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle. As his biographer, I have a unique understanding of who the true Harry is and what he is thinking and feeling. This insight was gleaned by six months of intensely rereading old tabloid stories and copy and pasting them into what looked like an authorized bio for the prince. It fooled the editors at RHJ press and I am convinced that it will fool your readers too. If your deadlines are tight, I have attached a list of standard, cliche statements about Harry and Meghan that you can insert with my permission and attribute to me. Please take care to include the title of my book in all attributions. Yours, D.L.
Thanks for the laugh, HARPER. Celebitchies are on fire today in the comments on this one.
Ah yes. It must be miserable living freely for the first time in his life with his beautiful family in sunny California.
There is something seriously wrong with the UK media. Harry and Meghan have literally done NOTHING, yet they are treated worse by the media than people who have actually made serious transgressions. All the negativity is honestly upsetting.
This is one of the reasons so many British celebrities move to the U.S. It’s not just because of job opportunities. The UK media has long been known as one of the nastiest, most vicious in the world.
Sid–that explains a lot.
Some Australian media (murdoch owned) is getting just as bad. One particular site… essentially news dot com dot au is littered with anti H&M stories every day, while weirdly praising all the other royals. Australians legit don’t care that much about any of them, it’s so weird the agenda is being pushed so hard.
The British media are scrambling. They have been pushing the “Harry is so very sad in LA and desperately wants to be back with Will and Kate” narrative all last year. Harry has said himself that he can breathe easier and is clearly happy in LA with his hot wife and adorable son and is expecting a daughter. Now they are saying he is desperately trying to be happy but really isn’t? That makes no sense. Why would ANYONE be happy in that deranged family? The other members of that family are miserable.
Not only that, they seem to revel in the fact that the royals always seem miserable. Something about the price they pay for public funding? Perform for us and be miserable while doing it, and then we will continue to feel good about paying for you as you reign over us.
Lots of of the vitriol toward Harry and Meghan seems to be “how dare you not accept our horrible mistreatment in exchange for our money? HOW DARE YOU LEAVE AND BE HAPPY?”

People become happier when they limit or cut contact with toxic people in their lives. They may not be happy that they’ve had to put their own family at arms length or freeze them out, but the fact that they’ve done so makes their own lives happier. These two concepts are not mutually exclusive. I don’t know why this is such a difficult concept for certain salty white journalists to grasp.
Lol. Harry is practically radiant, and why shouldn’t he be? He is actively engaged in his own life, he is making things happen, his family is growing, and people around the world see him for who he is: a good-hearted, intelligent, charming man who wants to use his privilege to make a difference. Dan W. should quit the royal beat and take up with Cirque de Soleil as a contortionist.
Again, for the funny but oh so true comment.😈 MERRICAT…..that last line was hysterical. “ Dan W. should quit the royal beat and take up with Cirque de Soleil as a contortionist.”. Well said!
Lol
Actually, happy and content people are more likely to question people and systems that have hurt them in the past and look for ways to continue healing from within before making “amends” (in this case, he has nothing to make amends for as he was wronged, not his family.) This Duncan guy is a dangerous gaslighting toolshed of a man.
I want to hug both of your sentences. The first one, the professional therapist one, and the snide Duncan-bashing one. Both brilliant.
Not only does Harry look happy but he’s said it himself that his and Meghan’s shoulders have dropped since being in the US. That sounds like they’re content with where they are and what they’re doing.
There’s a whole lot of bullshit from this guy, and others have pointed it all out, so I just want to add this:
OK, hands up, did anyone else here lose a parent as a child? Did you ever, CAN you ever, truly “work through” that sort of loss? I lost my mom when I was 5. She wasn’t the most famous woman in the world, and it didn’t happen because of (and was not recorded by) the most ruthless, vulture-esque paparazzi imaginable, and my dad did everything to make sure I grew up reasonably happy and knowing I was loved. And yet I still, at 29, wonder about her. You eventually learn to push that to the back of your mind, but at every major life event–graduation, college, getting married, having kids–the thoughts resurface, and it can be upsetting. On my last birthday, I became one year older than what my mom made it to. Just that thought f–ked me up for a good few weeks, and others noticed. When I explained it, I received compassion. The fact that Harry is not accorded the same, when his loss was so devastatingly public and was the subject of so much performative grieving by an entire country (and their lack of compassion now does suggest that it was, in fact, just performative), is f–king infuriating. How dare anyone tell him how to grieve, or heal, or make himself whole? He’s doing it the best way he knows how: By being a better husband and father than the examples he was given while growing up, and using what must have been a miserable experience to help others realize that they’re not alone in their struggles. But God forbid a royal ever try to make a REAL difference.
Miranda, I am with you. Lost my mom at 17, and I never got a chance to show her my adult self and relate to her in that way. . . .Every year since I passed her age at death, I think it is an almost undeserved bonus. I have worked through a lot, but there is always an effect. So I send you supportive waves — and agree that Harry is using his public profile and work for the public good!!
Lost my father when I was 12 years old. It changed my life forever.
Sending hugs, Miranda. Thank you for sharing and for demonstrating compassion, apparently a lost art for many (though not here at Celebitchy)
@sofia
Charlotte and Louis might dip when they turn 18. Louis could run off and join the military. Charlotte might decide to go to school in America. Or pull a Diana and live in a flat with her mates and get a regular job.
The HORROR!
My aim is to be as miserable as Harry and Meghan.
Larcombe really wants Harry to be miserable. I mean…every article is about how miserable he wants Harry to be with the choices Harry made. Projection much? Harry is happy, healthy, and with the loves of his life. He isn’t returning to the UK no matter what happens in his marriage. Y’all treated him like crap and he bounced. He isn’t going to return for more of the same.
Maybe they don’t teach logic in school anymore – Cause and effect – if this happens, then that will happen. First Meghan was treated badly, then H&M asked to step back a bit but still stay in the family, then the family said no, then H&M left. Now, H&M are talking. Who is supposed to make amends to whom?
This is what you write when you’re out of stuff to write. They’re going to have to turn on the others soon. This is bottom of the barrel: “Black is white! Up is down!!”
Omg shut up shut up shut up! Happy people don’t make amends, guilty people do!
Yeah, Harry looks miserable- don’t he? Smiling with his whole face fit to split- his smile reaches every part of his face and probably all way to the back of his head. Poor bastard.
I wonder how much energy it takes to willfully believe bullshit. I wonder if it burns more calories than yardwork.
Lol
All I’m getting from this is that they are terrified of Harry – he’s on the war path! He wants to hurt the monarchy! He’s damaged, so don’t believe him! This is how you try to undermine someone who could destroy you.
I’m happy it seems that Harry is not sharing his plans with his family (and by extension the media), and if he decides to go, I hope he does show up immediately beforehand, say his piece, then leave without giving his brother a photo op.
The Royal Rota is desperately trying to convince themselves that Prince Harry is unhappy. There I fixed it.
Ha! Good fix. If ignorance is bliss, the BM’s and royal experts are the happiest groups on earth.
“people who are content ‘want to make amends’ and ‘don’t create arguments and criticise people’, a royal expert has claimed.”
this friggen slays me! People who are content have the self-confidence to be able to think about and discuss issues that affect or have affected them critically. That includes owning their part as well as acknowledging issues created/exacerbated/owned by others and/or a given situation. They will [try to] make amends when they are at fault for something and will accept sincere apologies but they do not just suck it up and allow themselves to face abuse or waste their time working to fix a relationship with others who aren’t interested in putting the work into making amends. The fact Harry’s not just kowtowing to the BRF or the courtiers to allow them to maintain a facade is a sign that he is putting himself & his family’s needs first – which is very healthy.
That said, the fact that these royal experts, courtiers & various members of the firm are constantly putting things like this out in the press shows how truly miserable they must be
‘creating arguments’ because the royals don’t think anything is wrong with how they’ve behaved so harry acknowledging their treatment of him Meghan and archie is the problem, not the royals actions themselves.
Toxic Narcissistic people react like this
Reading about H &M makes me happy which is why I keep doing it. Their happiness exudes onto the articles about their lives and work.
The media wants him miserable, drunk and dumb or they have no stories.
It’s really twisted the idea of having an entire media revenue stream based on tormenting a single individual. Also, really weird because why not get clicks reporting on his actual life which is still interesting?
They are furious Harry won’t do his “duty” and be miserable like his aunt Margaret.
The press are trying to tell the public how to feel about harry meghan and archie. Trying to control the narrative. Dont trust what you see or hear, we’ll tell you how to feel.
It reminds me of someone dumped by a partner and fantasizing ‘theyll come crawling back they’ll regret it.’
I remember in the office Karen seemed to think that with Jim and got ahead of herself saying ‘if you wanted to talk to me you could’ve just called like an adult’ then got mad when told that is not what was happening and Jim was really happy with Pam.
I believe this. There is just something about him that seems very sad. I think a lot of people dislike the brf and want Harry to “win” but i just don’t believe that he is that happy and i truly believe he misses England.
Are we…..seeing the same Harry? Because the Harry that we saw that Vaxx Live concert, doing the training course with James Corden, etc, seemed very happy. I think if he comes across as sad sometimes its because most of the times we’ve heard from him recently he’s talking about stepping back from the royal family and his mental health – those are heavy topics. But the man hugging his pregnant wife and son in the garden? the man playing with his dog in the ocean? That man is happy.
I will add that he reminds me kind of what Stevie Nicks said once – when someone asked her if she had any regrets she basically said no, because she liked where she was in life at that moment, and if she changed anything along the way she wouldn’t be where she was, even if she may have wished some things were different in general (like probably wishing she was never addicted to drugs, etc) so she told the girls she knew in her life about her mistakes, so they wouldn’t make them. I feel like Harry is like that – he’s so happy where he is right now but I bet he wishes the road hadn’t been so bumpy to get there, but if it hadn’t been, he prob would have still been in the UK living under William’s control for the rest of his life.
holy projection with no visible evidence, batman!
I’m sure he misses England, just not the set up he was in with his family and the media. If you believe that is what he wants to go back to then you must be talking about a different Harry. He told his family what he wanted and needed to make it work and they said no. So they left, end of. You don’t go take out a mortgage and sign contracts if you are looking to go back. You get a month to month rental lease and you sit around waiting for your family to call you home.
Harry is happy. He is happy and proud that he and Meghan stepped away from the cesspool that is his family, and that is royal life under the microscope of a vicious pack of racist media buffoons who literally threatened his wife and child. His own brother and father betrayed and abandoned him. Harry used to say he was happiest out of the UK — when he was working with Sentebale in Africa, travelling with Invictus or fighting in Afghanistan. He suffered anxiety attacks and depression back in England. Now he’s living a dream life doing good works with his much adored wife and son, happily anticipating the birth of his daughter.
What’s not to be happy about?
Harry said out of his own mouth that he didn’t even like living in England. Multiple times. He said he preferred being in the army in Afghanistan. A war zone.
Oh, I do believe that he’s *grieving*. I think that’s probably true of anyone who gives up everything they know and love. When I left an abusive relationship, I abandoned having security, a roof, utilities, everything that was dependable, all because I realized that I’d rather die than continue on the way I had. That adjustment period — and the difficulty of going “no-contact” when people from your old life are constantly trying to drag you back — is incredibly painful. But it’s the road to something better, so you stick with it.
@Nizama Lol
I am an immigrant. I’ve moved my family to another country because it offered more to us in a sens of social security and general quality of life. Do I miss my home country? Yes, a lot in a sens of being in a known place, knowing how to deal with things, having my whole life set up, being part of the culture where you could refer to a movie and everyone knows it. But I don’t miss all the reasons we left, lack of social and financial security, and a log more. This is a complicated situation emotionally but as an adult I know why I made This decision. I can be happy and content and emotional about missing what I left at the same time. Harry probably has similar mix of emotions plus huge hurt about his family. I imagine how hurtful it is that they don’t care about Archie, that he never heard from them how wonderful his child is. I love how my parents love my daughter, how I can share with them every little detail of her life and they are delighted like it was the cutest thing in the world. It would be so sad not to see how her closest family loves her.
He looks happy to me. I doubt he misses his brother and sister in law. The way they behaved. And the proof is that his “UK family” is still sitting back and watches the bashing. Even twisting Bea’s pregnancy announcement as an attack on Harry and Meghan.
@NIZAMA
why do feel that it seem that he is sad?
By looking at a still picture in newspaper?
By watching the videos online?
Or by reading everyday news about Harry is sad all the time in BM?
Or have you seen or talk to him in real life.
I really need to know how you come to this conclusion.
Darling, sometimes when I drink too much bhaang lassi, I get ideas like this.
Living well is the best revenge.
And nothing beats watching teeth-gnashers gnash, loudly and publicly. The Monarchy powers and perpetuates a huge industry of hangers on, I believe a whole arm of media exists purely to write about the Royal family. If it goes so does their livelihood. So they are going to continue to feed the dumpster fire forever. It’s just funny when it’s so obvious, that they just make shit up.
This is it. 50 years of making stupid stuff up because the Real Royals could Twerk down the street in beach clothes and wouldn’t sell papers. So fiction about the Sussexes forever it is…
When H wakes up each morning to feel Lady Monticeto kicking up a storm and a waffle-eating two-year-old running around, I doubt he has any regrets.
I think the British heritage philosophy sees “happiness” as something to be obtained and found rather than a state of being and a choice. I saw a lot of this when I lived in America too. It creates an addiction where people think they need to be in a constant state of bliss (that is far different and far more dangerous than happiness or contentment). Harry made choices for his well-being and is contented with the life he has. He still wants to do what he’s always done and help people and he isn’t going to apologize for being in a position of privilege. I think he has made the choice that his family – wife, and kids are his anchor of contentment. Everything else is just noise. He’s made that all too clear.
I’m sure things have been tough for Harry & he said he made the move to protect his family & mental health so like anyone in a similar situation there’s likely up and down moments. But he seemed happy on Corden & on the podcast. And he’s got family he’s longed for.
But people like Duncan want him to be miserable because the press (and the firm) screwed up with their nasty smear campaign & Harry leaving with Meghan wasn’t part of the plan. They were too heavy handed & its blown up in their face that two of the more interesting royals are no longer in Britain. As Harry said he has them to thank for his move.
The press are upset they don’t have the exclusive access they used to have to Harry who they have seen grow, have spied on& generally feel super entitled to. It’s also years until the next generation of possibly interesting royals become gossip worthy. They also dislike that Harry is calling out the media for being bigoted, trying to redefine things like privacy to exploit etc. I think they want to silence Harry on discussing his grief over Diana because they don’t want their role in harassing her & in her untimely passing brought up.
The reason Duncan mentions making amends is likely because ‘palace sources’ have been cut off & don’t have the best tea for the press anymore so they aren’t breaking the stories like the house purchase, Netflix& Spotify deals, Meghan’s pregnancy, sad news of her miscarriage & don’t know much about Archie & how he’s growing. They also won’t have access to Diana’s other granddaughter. They are losing out on money and there’s prospect one day the hate articles won’t be as profitable so things might look lean for the British royal cottage industry (which had another explosion when Meghan came on the scene) at one point.
sometimes i wonder if the BM so call journalist is projecting their lives onto Harry /Meghan and thousands of other successful famous people.. don’t these people have children? seems they never asked themselves why make up lies about other peoples children,would they like that to happen to their children?
Just look at Jason. he kept his life so private that no one knows what his husband look like. i searched online , not one pic of him with his husband. he kept his life a secret. but he didn’t have a care in the world to tell lies about Meghan. while he protect that he was a gay man and married to another man. i thought wow, did he lock up his husband in a room. thought marriage papers was public, nope, not in jason life, if he is married , wonder how he kept his husband name secret from the public.
harry is happy. he is more relaxed. he is doing what he always wanted to do . Meghan and Harry always hold hands, and look at each other in the eyes and smiles on their faces when they talk to each other. for the queen to have rules not to show affection in public is bad. since at the same time she claims family comes first , which she never did for her family. hold hands , touching your wife/ husband ,shows love, how can anyone hug children at an event , but can’t touch their wife/husband? but is allowed to hug and shake hands with strangers. but hey , stop , don’t touch the person you share a bed with its not right . .its a stupid rule.
wonder if children ever wonder about william/Catherine. i mean children have parents.and when they meet william and Cathrine, and never see them holding hands or looking warm at each other like their parents do . they must find it odd.
I read USA Today entertainment page on Harry and Meghan’s marriage to Montecito-Ms. Arbiter said the best thing for the Sussexes is to look forward not backwards-I thought so should the royal family look forward and not to the past and let the Sussex family live their lives-Whatever Meghan and Harry are doing in America has nothing to do with the Salty Island Nation-The Sussexes have closed that chapter in their life and I wish the royal family and the British media would do the same. Live in peace as Arbiter stated.
This guy is so full of it and is such a sour nag. Even if Harry was unhappy, which he isn’t, that’s Harry’s business to sort out and not some random writer who thrives on hypothetical misery.
This clown expert Duncan Larcombe is a BS. He’s barking up the wrong tree. ‘Content people don’t create arguments and criticise people – content people want to make amends.’ This guy is describing an unhappy William to a T. Perfect description. And he just described himself too.
Well, I’m sure this Duncan Larcombe is a very fine mental health professional – oh, this just in, he’s a free lance journalist? Well, we’ll give his idiotic comments the weight they deserve.
