@RoyaNikkhah@thetimes The best thing would be to stop the pity party and let him grow up once and for all. He's not a little boy, and he has choices. He has made his choices.
EXCLUSIVE - Prince Harry would “love family time” with the King when he returns to the UK this summer, after Charles’s four years apart from Archie, Lili and Meghan. On Harry’s wish list? An invite to Sandringham, with security. My royal read @thetimesthetimes.com/uk/royal-famil…
@RoyaNikkhah@thetimes But it's not all out of Harry's hands, Roya. Everybody knows if Harry were to apologize for all the horrible things he's done to his family, then he would likely be forgiven. It's actually all in Harry's hands, but he refuses to do what is required. His fault.
A lot being said about this - both good and bad, but when you look at the showy, performative displays of piety by leaders across the Atlantic, I'd take someone with a "quiet faith" any day. thetimes.com/uk/royal-famil…
PAYING TRIBUTE: A pilot created a flightpath by drawing a service member and three headstones over Ohio to honor the state's Air National Guardsmen who died in an Iraq tanker crash while supporting Operation Epic Fury.
@BBCWorld Misleading report. The rest of the story is that the jury absolved Elon of claims of engaging in a "scheme" to defraud investors. An important omission.
A jury has found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price in the tumultuous months leading up to his 2022 acquisition of the social media company for $44 billion. cbsn.ws/3PejaEO
@people Oh, how did we know this was coming?! 😂😂😂 Because never let it be said Prince William would post a remembrance about his mom and Meghan not try to upstage him. It’s a “wait for it” moment.
A new royal book is already causing a stir. In ‘Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family,’ author Tom Bower makes a series of explosive claims about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - including an allegation that Queen Camilla once told a friend Meghan had “brainwashed” Harry.
A spokesperson for the Sussexes has strongly pushed back, dismissing the book as a “deranged conspiracy.”
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment.

@CBSNews This bias is exhausting. Is CBS incapable of using the English language to report without propagandizing? It seems deliberate. "Protestors" is obviously the wrong choice of words to describe this situation. It is hard to trust a news source that continually does this.
Hundreds of Iranians gathered near the World War I Memorial Park in Washington, D.C. before marching to the White House while holding "Make Iran Great Again" signs.
@CNN Poll numbers can be sourced from many places, and we know the ones used by CNN are unapologetically anti-Trump. Common knowledge. I quit believing CNN a long time ago because their bias is so strong and obvious. Show me news outlets and numbers I can trust. Moving on.
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of the US decision to take military action in Iran, according to a new CNN poll. CNN's David Chalian explains how Americans are currently feeling about the war with Iran.
@NileGardiner The thing is, they don’t care if it’s a farce because they’re only after the photos and videos. They can make those look however they want to once they have them.
The last thing The Royal Family needs is selfish, narcissistic Harry and Meghan back in the fold.
And their grandstanding Middle East tour is already turning into a farce.

@DailyMail Nothing they do will be a true success because their efforts are selfish and not humanitarian. The mask has slipped, and we know their motives, which are selling themselves and their narrative to make money.
@GBNEWS I seriously wish you wouldn't contaminate Princess Catherine's photo by putting one of her diabolical, deceitful, jealous, fame mongering sister-in-law next to it. Why would you do that when we all know they hate each other?
@DailyMailUK Another hit piece from Amanda, they are coming fast and furiously now. She is obviously not a fan of Prince William. Clearly nothing he ever does will be ok with her, but wonder what is triggering her now? Oh I know… EVERYthing. 🙄
@Charlesvoicema1 Amanda is making it more clear with each post/article that she is not a fan of Prince William. In her opinion he can do nothing right, so each time she writes it gets worse. There will be nothing he can do to change that, her mind is made up.
Good Morning Amanda Platell ... just read your piece.
You are not a very nice person, are you?
So William is selfish because he has not yet watched a piece of fiction about William Shakespeare's only son, Hamnet, which apparently made Catherine cry, because he said that he needs to be in a calm place before watching it?
Oh yes, and by making that comment "he couldn't resist the urge to make it all about him. Which meant, predictably, that all the next day's headlines were about William's pain, shamefully and self-indulgently overshadowing" a movie.
Maybe he should have said "Sorry, but I don't care for fictional melodramas which attempt to depict the emotions of two parents when their 11 year old son dies. George is 12 so the subject is not very appealing."
And then you have to have a dig at him using the Dad vs him number of engagements argument... I thought that someone had said that that was an improper comparison? Or was that me?🤔
Then.... well let's make this a real hit-piece shall we? Let's moan about his fortune and... oops, I better not give away the whole article, it's only for paid subscribers!
Just one little thing, please check where the Sovereign Grant comes from.... and it is not the tax-payers!
Have a great day! 😀
Why Prince Harry Poses a Greater Threat to the Crown Than Andrew.
People keep defaulting to Prince Andrew as the monarchy’s greatest threat because his scandal is easier to process. It’s ugly, it’s concrete and it’s over. Epstein. The interview. The humiliation. The consequences. Everyone knows where they stand. Andrew is radioactive and isolated, and no one is pretending otherwise.
That matters more than people admit.
Andrew isn’t shaping anything now. He isn’t briefing journalists. He isn’t selling insight. He isn’t presenting himself as a moral counterweight to the Crown. He sits in disgrace and silence and whatever damage he caused is already priced in. The institution absorbed it, painfully and carried on.
Harry hasn’t stopped.
This isn’t about who committed the worse act or who deserves more moral condemnation. Andrew wins that contest without effort. But risk isn’t about morality alone. It’s about trajectory. Andrew’s trajectory is flat. Harry’s keeps moving.
For years now, Harry has treated his connection to the monarchy as both grievance and currency. He attacks it while relying on it. He condemns it while trading on the credibility it still lends him. Every project depends on proximity to something he claims to have escaped. That contradiction isn’t incidental. It’s the engine.
What makes it destabilising is not any single interview or book. It’s the pattern. The knowledge that nothing is ever fully closed. That today’s private conversation might be tomorrow’s content. That restraint is optional. That loyalty is conditional. Institutions don’t collapse because of one scandal. They erode when insiders demonstrate that the rules no longer apply if the incentives are right.
Andrew never did that. He disgraced the monarchy, but he didn’t challenge its operating logic.
Harry does.
There’s also a practical issue people pretend is abstract when it isn’t. Titles still travel. Names still open doors. When a former senior royal operates independently across media, politics and international forums, he does not do so as a private citizen in the normal sense. He carries symbolic authority whether he likes it or not. That creates exposure. Not because of some spy-novel conspiracy, but because judgment matters and judgment has repeatedly been the weak point.
You don’t need evidence of treachery to have a problem. You just need repeated proof of carelessness.
Andrew was reckless with his personal life and paid for it. Harry is reckless with an institution.
That’s why the comparison irritates people who want this to stay a morality play. Andrew’s story ends where Harry’s keeps looping. Andrew is an embarrassment the Crown can point to as a failure. Harry positions himself as a rival narrator, one who insists the system itself is the villain and that he alone is brave enough to say so, provided someone is paying.
The monarchy has survived shame before. It has not historically done well with internal figures who monetise dissent while insisting on legitimacy.
Andrew is finished.
Harry isn’t.
And unfinished problems are always more dangerous than disgraced ones.
“What’s a cover-up and what was just left alone because of the Queen?” Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest has plunged the monarchy into dangerous uncharted territory. How did the royal family get here? How can it move forward? My royal read @thetimes 👇🏼
