I definitely think her mothering skills were poor, and love alone isn’t enough. She was a damaged person and her own mother was absent for much of her childhood. I believe Diana was very self absorbed and never considered the damage her actions might do to her children. She was jealous and possessive of them - if they became too fond of a nanny, the nanny was dismissed because the boys were to love no one but herself. That’s why Diana was so vile to Tiggy - she’d been employed by Charles post divorce and the boys were very fond of her, but Diana couldn’t get rid of her.Pondering mummy issues...
I was having some thoughts as to whether Diana was actually a bad mother? What makes a bad mother? Is love enough? We know she wasn't that intelligent herself, wasn't very strict with boundaries, used a young William as a confidante and, towards the end, introduced the boys to a number of "uncles". I'm not suggesting her mental health had anything to do with it. The question that occured to me was, whilst she may have thought she was doing her best, were her mothering skills low? I do realise Charles had a part to play, but I guess I'm wondering if your views on Diana's competence as a mother have changed in light of the way Harry has gone off the rails in the very public way he has done.
And IF you think Diana was not a good mother role model for her children, is she to blame for that (i.e. could she have improved her skills to become a better mother if she wanted to) or do you think that was beyond her conscious control?

I thought they wrote it was. I am not sure if it was only the 4 of them or Skid Marks was there too.
Plastic balloon face more than likely!Just dipping in and out of the threads as I can't keep up.
But something I found strange (among many many things) in the excerpts, was when he was told the queen was very ill/ dying, he claims that the press started calling him.
How or why would the press have his phone number?
I agree.Is anyone else getting bored with Tom Bowyer popping everywhere for me He is the new Angela Levin ( can't stand Her either ) always has an opinon most of which is bullshit
Obvious photoshop - his titties are too small
Can't see this being true. The same Harold who was saying MM is the love of his life only a few days ago has no option but MM.... He's far too invested"The generous buyout is said to include child support for Harry and Meghan's two children Archie and Lilibet while the former actress would be allowed to keep her Duchess title."
I’ve never thought about that. I suppose the ‘mother’ aspect of her is not what springs to mind first. It is her clothes, her experiences, her work, her constant down in the mouth doe-eyed expression, and, of course her affairs. Was she totally self absorbed ? That is , I suppose, how I think of her. Which might not make her a good mother. I don’t doubt she loved her boys, but did she put them before herself ? Possibly not. Did she make her children feel that they were secure and safe ? Probably not. Did she leave them open to scandal and embarrassment. Probably. I reckon she would try to be their friend more than their mother, which isn’t really the way to go.Pondering mummy issues...

Very interesting article about Harry's school days - thanks for posting.It’s interesting that when you go looking you can find all sorts of things that debunk the image PH is trying to portray to the public. Things about his Eton days, how he was known for being very aggressive and also he was a bit ‘thick’ when it came to school work. Here is one article from 2019.

Spare: possibly the fastest remaindered book…in the world.Congratulations on becoming a VIP @Murphy Brown, unfortunately I feel you are setting your sights a bit high asking for Beluga ..... how about a tuna buttie and a sausage roll thrown in for good measure? I have also been to Poundland for some madeira cake for afters but, and this is the icing on your cake, I walked past the Oxfam shop on the way back to the VIP lounge and there, in the window, was a copy of the fastest selling non-fiction book in history ..... priced £2 !!!!! I splashed out and bought it for you to mark this momentous occasion ....... enjoy!
P.S. Bring your own booze, I'm not made of money!
"The generous buyout is said to include child support for Harry and Meghan's two children Archie and Lilibet while the former actress would be allowed to keep her Duchess title."
I think there's an Oxford comma missing:Can't see this being true. The same Harold who was saying MM is the love of his life only a few days ago has no option but MM.... He's far too invested
Regarding Marie Antoinette I can really recommend this book. It’s brilliant if you want to know the real history (it will make you cry at the end) very sad.These threads move so fast... its hard to respond!
There are comments about rewriting history, and the power of media/public opinion. At the moment with Harry and his story telling, I think we are too close to know what history will think of him!
But there is a fascinating parallel, with the latest BBC history drama ''Marie Antoinette'' for years and years, I have believed the whole, let them eat cake scenario, and that her beheading as French monarch, along with her husband Louis was justified, as she was an empty headed fool, who shouldn't have been anywhere near a throne.
Now this latest history drama, is a massive retelling of history! I have only watched the first couple of episodes, but Marie Antoinette is intelligent and able to play a diplomatic and clever game, in an impossible position. Its a massive retelling of the original story! A bit like the retelling of Thomas Cromwell, and Henry 8th. fascinating!!!
There were also comments about how the British Royal family are out of touch with younger generations, particularly those under 20. I would tend to agree. But I don't think this is really anything at all to do with Harry.
Queen Elizabeth, had 4 children, which appealed to 2 different generations. With Charles only having 2 sons, those sons are now too old to appeal to teenagers, their lives don't connect at all with the young. And we have also lost the impact of schemes like, The Duke of Edinburgh awards, and the Princes Trust. To some extent to make themselves relatable to British young people, the Royal family need a new scheme or an award, or a massively revamped system, to appeal to younger generations.
But they haven't got one, or anyone to head one up! I would say William and Kate are too busy, with Earthshot etc, Harry is temperamentally unsound, George, Charlotte and louis are too young,
The RF are lacking a younger version of Anne, or even Edward, badly. Even Andrew gave an approximation of a playboy prince when younger, The RF are lacking a sense of glamour and mystery, a royal mystique and magic to revolve around.
All the collapsing crying on the floor was utterly performative, to convince Prince Thicko just how tewwibly, tewwibly unhappy she was.I have Ménière’s, and pinky promise, can attest that not ONCE since it presented have I collapsed on the floor sobbing, crying, blubbering, drooling, mopping or whatever it is she’s so busy doing down there. I mean, seriously, the end game is to stay off the floor at all costs, the logistics of being able to get myself back up during a bout of the spins (vertigo) would be like starring in my very own slapstick comedy, without the deserved paycheck and acclaim.
Nah, I think she’s just batshit over the top eye rolling crazy for needing to be down there on such a regular basis
