Billionaire climate campaigner takes eleven minute ride in his private helicopter to visit foodbank.

That visit and the associated details (eg transport) highlight so much that is wrong with our society and why we won't be fixing it. One must wonder how & why his expensive advisors didn't stop the visit happening or at least changed it so it wouldn't seem so naive with the current challenges facing the planet.

Because (almost) no one cares?

Something I'd never appreciated and to me beggars belief

Stop shielding UK royals from parliamentary scrutiny, says Labour peer
Rules banning scrutiny of the royal family in parliament must be changed in light of the continuing scandals about Prince Andrew, a Labour peer has said.

... parliament’s standing orders and Erskine May, the authority on parliamentary procedure, prevent discussion of the monarchy and of any matters that reflect on the sovereign or royal family.

Particularly when so many promises seem to be broken eg
King Charles and royals fail to reveal official gifts for past four years – despite promise to do so

But you still won't be able to call a liar a liar in the house.

Parlimentary ettiquette. Yiou can still call politicians liars, just indirectly eg

"Half the members opposite are liars"
"Take that back!"
"Half the members opposite are not liars"​

Now Harry seems to be running out of active court cases, maybe he'll sue his Dad for not talking to him, "Parental Cruelty"?

With each declaration he wants to kiss and make-up with family almost same breath he comes out with another headline revelation about the failings of his family making any reconciliation even more impossible.

Sounds like fairly typical family behaviour to me.

Harry really is a weapons grade twat. That South Park parody of him was bang on (and bloody funny).

Anyone who gets Daily Ma!l 'readers' frothing at the gills can't be all bad.
The goings on at chez-Chas have all the ingredients of a good soap opera.

Even I know that the Royal Family do not air their dirty laundry in public. How can Harry not grasp this?
Oh, I know. The guy who wants to be out of the public eye craves attention. Some publicity/money won’t go amiss either.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Harry Worthless.
(Probably too long ago for most on here)

Shall we say they are rather more subtle about it. Completely dysfunctional.

maybe he'll sue his 'Dad'

FTFY

I can't get too excited about the Royal Family generally but just find his whiney victim narrative annoying. Not that I'm trying to listen to him.

I no longer believe he actually wants reconciliation. If he wanted reconciliation he'd make a few (maybe untrue) press statements like "we may have differences on some points but we are a family and have more binding us together than a few minor issues" then he'd pick up the phone and call his Dad or brother. Of course that wouldn't keep him on the front pages and wouldn't add $$$ to his next book or podcast series.
