answer is above the statement on Camila. Have no idea if she is preventing the relationship and would not want to guess. |
DP. I have a family friend who cut his son off for a specific reason. Even on his deathbed, he refused to reconcile. We couldn't understand it but it's something that many people have done. As Americans, I think we tend to be a lot more flexible about some things than other cultures. |
In most cases parents do not cut off their kids. However, if you know anyone who has has extended cancer treatment, it takes everything they have just to get up and do their treatment and fulfill daily obligations. They do nor need stress and drama to make it worse. This may be one of the reasons that he cannot deal with Harry and Meghan. |
Doesn’t make it right. Only times I have heard of parents not speaking is kid is using drugs and stealing. Usually those parents are in so much pain they are still thinking of child all the time. Harry doesn’t do either. His crime is speaking out on his childhood experiences all of which most Americans would not subject their kids to. How Charles doesn’t have any pressure to do the right thing is beyond me. Not arguing that Harry and his wife are a not handful but geez they are not bad people. |
Also turning his back on his duty, family, and heritage. For a family whose entire raisin d'etre is duty and heritage, it's a real sin. |
The answer is very simple. Charles does not trust Harry. He doesn't want to read Harry breathlessly reporting on their conversations the morning after they take place. That's why. |
Meghan cut her dad off for doing exactly the same thing you think Charles is doing. That's hypocritical. |
It does make it right if Charles has to focus on cancer related concerns like infusions, scans, blood tests and fatigue. How much energy do you think he has left for Harry's drama. The answer is probably none. Harry and Meghan need to get their heads out of their butts and realize they are not dealing with Charles from 2018. If they do not understand his mindset maybe they can talk to someone in cancer treatment who can enlighten them about the struggle. It may be hard for Meghan to grasp since her main concern seems to be finding the perfect clothes for influencer videos and make believe awards. She seems very emotionally arrested for someone 44 years of age. It's probably due to get dad treating her like the center of the universe. They are dealing with literally sick and tired Charles who us visibly aged and worn out and has zero patience for them. |
I think they are holding back Harry’s security in London as a chip in the attempt to get him to come back to (some) duties.
They know he can survive without them. And they can survive without him. But they can’t let him walk and still have every privilege. |
H&M want to have their cake, criticize the baker, eat a big piece, serve some to their billionaire "friends", auction leftovers and publish the recipe. |
*also have a cooking show, a podcast, a cookbook, a cakewalk, a bakery business and have a gofundme |
I am a big fan of Harry’s.
I am neutral to kind about William, Kate, Megan. I relate to Harry. The fact is he can’t move through the world like a free person, because of the circumstances of his birth. All the losses and all the (sort of hedged) privilege. It seems like privilege and it almost isn’t. *Run away to another country, and those facts do not change.* He can’t avoid the drama of being second. No one has in generations. The better example for him to be is to show the George/Charlotte/Louis generation how to do it gracefully. And he has directly said this, but he’s not doing it. Doing it gracefully involves not running away from problems, AND staying loyal to a fault. |
Charles has no say in this. It's not his decision and he cannot overstep. |
The Obamas were very intentional about how to raise their kids while being in the spotlight in their formative years. Singling them out bc their kids were so young and Michelle talks about this a lot including in her book. I'm contrast the BRF seems awful at this, for each generation even though each faces the same challenges (media attention, their vs other kids, parents traveling etc). So I don't think it's surprising. Charles just doesn't know how to deal with this conflict and Harry wasn't given the tools to deal with everything he's been through. Hence they are all lashing out on the public stage. |
Estrangement is a lot more common than you think. There are studies about it that would shock you. Richard Conti, in a 2015 study of undergraduate and graduate students (who were mainly female), found a very high percentage of estrangement: 26.6 percent reported extended periods of no-contact while 43.5 percent reported being estranged at some point, which would make it as common as divorce. Mind you, the people in the survey were young adults, a time at which, even in healthy mother-daughter relationships, tensions can run high. In the United Kingdom, Lucy Blake found an even higher level of estrangement—50 percent—with 77 percent of adult children attributing it to emotional abuse. |
