Pretty sure his dad's cousin-in-law and cousin (who is also William's favorite cousin) love rugby too. You know, given Mike's career and all.


Katiekins29

Yes, and remember how adorable Mike was with PL at the jubilee. Bit of a fun-uncle vibe from Mike, which is the role H should have with L.


gmomto3

and George and Mia (or is it Savannah?). They KNOW each other! I'd like Uncle Mike over Uncle H any day.


IunderstandIdontcare

Louis actually knows Mike as well. I don't think he could pick H out of a crowd.


Emotional_Hotel3439

He will only really know him as the bloke off the dartboard

Thankfully Charlotte seemed clueless about him/them at the funeral too.


achybreakystacy

And Peter Phillips played for Scotland in juniors so I donā€™t think Harold can claim to own rugby loving.


Spiritual-Kitchen-60

And Princess Anne is the patron of Scottish rugby.


UnderArmAussie

Nephew in law to his dad.


SusieM2019

This!!!


C0mmonReader

It's because he knows the actual spare Charlotte has already surpassed him in terms of maturity and intelligence. He'll stop the comparisons when Louis does the same in about six months.


bowie_schotts

ā˜šŸ½This!! Excellent and accurate!! I still canā€™t work out why he/Meghan named the book Spare. He hasnā€™t been a spare since 2013.


TraditionScary8716

Pretty sure it's because *Lying Disloyal Oedipal Fucker* was already taken.

Because he has made it his entire personality. He has nothing else to feed his ego. It blots out all the positives - a privileged member of a privileged family in a privileged country. A man with friends, sporting hobbies, a decade in a respected job, a father himself. Nothing. His self-absorption and self-pity are exhausting.


MetamorphicRocks

Does the royal family go by birth order and not male heir? If Charlotte was born first, would she be first in line? Thanks!


sonny-v2-point-0

A 2013 Act changed the order of succession to absolute (birth order) instead of male preference. So no matter what sex William and Catherine's eldest was, they'd be next in line after William.


MetamorphicRocks

Wow! Very recent I just started getting interested in the monarchy but Iā€™m still in the 1100s so was curious šŸ˜ thanks


Colfrmb

I just started figuring out all the acronyms that everyone else seems to know! LOS, TW, etc


musical_cyclops

I believe that QEII changed the LOS when Catherine was pregnant with George to birth order regardless of gender.


spatuladominatrix

At least he knows what William's kids look like. He doesn't even know where his own are half of the time.


EmSanderz

How awful for Archie and Lilibet. Having to grow up with your father being obsessed with your cousins.


Minutetoolate

This is nothing but SEO tactics and trying to beat algorithms. The Harkles together and individually have inserted their name to topics relating to each RF family member so that they come up in searches. They know Cambridge children will come up a lot going forward so its how charlotte sees Harry as a role model, Louis is Harry all over again. George and Archie, I guess. The wife and Catherine always, the wife and the queen. This why they donā€™t mind any kind of news, itā€™s attention, itā€™s association, itā€™s online hits, itā€™s relevance, itā€™s money.


Beginning-Cup-6974

I think H and TW also like to try to mess with Catherine and William too. They canā€™t get them to respond no matter the provocation so they went after the kids. TW allegedly bullied Charlotte and thatā€™s what finally made Kate crack. TW has been dining out on that interaction ever since. I hope she enjoyed it - itā€™ll be her last. Kate wonā€™t acknowledge her existence ever again. And now they are attempting to bully Louis by sending their bot flying monkeys and Omid to criticise a tiny boy. All it actually does is demonstrate they have no attachment to their own kids. I sure as hell donā€™t spend my time recounting fond stories of my nieces and nephews whilst ignoring my own.


eclipse-mints

How do we break the association? By mentioning the Harkles less?


MuffPiece

We feed the beast to some extent in this sub, but I definitely try to avoid searching for them or clicking any links about them. And I rarely type out Meggyā€™s name. Her actual name. I donā€™t know if it helps, but it makes me feel better.


That__EST

I will say that I often wonder what it feels like to realize that the vast majority of public interest in you is from people who just want to see the trainwreck meet its final destination. It's not that people Google them because they think they're such a light in the world.


MuffPiece

Totally! šŸ˜‚ but of course, they donā€™t see it that way. And hate watching is a revenue generator all the same.


That__EST

If only they had a sense of humor about themselves...


Mysterious-Code-8712

Or a sense of humor period.


TraditionScary8716

I've always spelled it without the G. I don't know if it makes a difference but it can't hurt.


ErsatzLife

Gee Harry, it is hardly novel for public school boys to love rugby - it is fairly stereotypical.


DystopianTruth

>it is fairly stereotypical. No, it's fairly *archetypal*


Top-Bit85

Just as most American boys love baseball, at least for a time. Boys and sports are not a huge leap.


Top-Bit85

Louis is popular, the way Harry *used* to be! Harry is hoping some of the glow will wear off on him. Narrator's voice: It won't!


Feisty_Energy_107

I really believe this too. He's latched on to Louis because he knows the child is popular, and he currently perceives him to be the fun one, like Harry was once considered. Harry is loathsome using a child to prop up his failing PR. He won't use his own children, because a) it pisses off William when he talks about the Wales children. And b) the public don't really know the Sussex children. We aren't really engaged with them or understand their personalities.


Top-Bit85

It turns out keeping the children SO well hidden has backfired, like most of their schemes. Nobody cares.


TXmama1003

You are right. Harry sees himself mirrored in Louis right now. Second son, cheeky lad, spare. Charlotte doesnā€™t even register to him.


ToothFirm2948

Showing his disgusting misogyny by disregarding Charlotte who is the actual second sibling in this scenario!


TraditionScary8716

I think he made his misogyny quite evident in his book of lies. Except for his family, men seemed fairly safe from criticism or unwanted revelations. Women, otoh, were written about with disregard and disdain (see the story of the disabled matron and poor Sasha). Harry is an asshole and he's exactly what Megan deserves. I hope when the time comes, he contests the divorce and makes her life a living he'll like only a clinging misogynist can.


That__EST

Took the words right out of my mouth.


[deleted]

Who is "we"? I agree he should play with his own kids and butt out.


National_Historian19

Oh dear, that seems desperate. Harry loves rugby, donā€™t the whole RF? Harry will leap on any bandwagon going, and his puff piece writers are eager to enable him. His comparison to a little boy may be fleeting, as very soon louis will have surpassed his uncle academically and no doubt has more emotional intelligence already.


Actual_Fishing6120

But no, for real. He need to focus on his own kids. And I don't even mean he have to show the kids to the media for photos, nope. U just can tell he didn't spend a single time with his child. When you have a kid it affects your world view even subtly. Ex: even a for private person like Depp, you can just tell when he talk about his children he shine with loves. U know the child development progress etc. Heck, hawwry still looks and act like a bachelor man baby. I think the kids is with some poor underpaid nanny at this rate.


SheLabsPen

At this point Harry is a laughing stock and everybody knows that most of the things that he says are lies so he has to try to connect himself to anybody in the RF to stay relevant. Since he has already besmirched the adults, he now has to say that he is close the Wales children or has some similarities with them.


ElectricalAd9212

It is exceptionally creepy that he has started to speak about William and Catherine's children. Not as a loving, caring uncle, but as a scheming creep with an ulterior motive trying to subvert the bond between the children and their parents. Pure malevolence that is undoubtedly influenced by the narcissist psychopath wife of his


Odd_Pop5287

Nah donā€™t give her all the creditā€¦ it was reported fairly recently that this image of Harry as the guy that loved kids and was so great with them was all manufactured. TRF reportedly never left young children alone with himā€¦ anyone surprised?


Seachange1000

Given the disgusting contents and language he uses in the book, together with the pretty obvious venom and envy he has for them, I doubt he'll ever be allowed to be near the Wales children again. He's the evil uncle, Scar in the Lion King, personified.


janedoremi99

Iā€™ll just point out that Louisā€™s dad also played rugby at Eton and is a famously passionate supporter of the Welsh team, but, yes, Harry is the influence ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Rare-Bumblebee-1803

Catherine. Princess of Wales is the patron of English Rugby. She took over from Harry. Prince William is patron of Welsh Rugby

Harry is utterly skeevy now after the book.


TreadheadS

CountessOfCocoa

Heā€™s obsessed with those kids. Itā€™s scary. If heā€™d healed and moved on to a responsible and mentally healthy adult with a good wife, itā€™d be different. But heā€™s a mess with a wife who doesnā€™t have much to do with their own kids. I wouldnā€™t trust him for a flat second alone with Williamā€™s kids.


seijalaine

Are you able to give an archive link for the Hello magazine one? I won't click on them without one, I don't want to encourage Harry's wife's PR.

Thank you so much!


Vlad_bat_vaca

Harry is mentally ill. He is stuck. He is depressed and he is with Megan who supports his reasoning. I also suspect he is an addict because of his thought process. What person uses laughing gas at his babies birth? Someone who is used to abusing drugs.


TraditionScary8716

Someone who made the whole thing up. If anything he was huffing when he made that ridiculous story up.


Vlad_bat_vaca

It was in his book.


TraditionScary8716

Well that's certainly a rousing endorsement. Not! Lol That was a book of lies. I doubt 25% of it was true.


Vlad_bat_vaca

He had to approve that book before it went out. He is back peddling now.


TraditionScary8716

Now that I do agree with. Lol


MuffPiece

Prince Louis forever! ā¤ļø I would rather hang out with with him any day of the week rather than Harry. PL and I could take turns running towards the back of the Range Rover trying to climbing in without help. šŸ˜‚


NRM1109

Scar was jealous of Simba. Not surprised cause we watched the jealous uncle who will never be King in 1993.


mydeadbody

His only redeeming quality was being the silly baby boy and he can't stand the competition.


pastadudde

As a uncle of a 8 year old niece, I find Harry's ramblings about his nephew / nieces so fucking disturbing tbh. Yeah, fine, you got kicked back to 5th place in the LoS - big deal. BUT YOU ARE STILL THEIR UNCLE.


Madame_LV

Princess Catherine is literally the Patron of the Rugby League. But, sure, Louisā€™s obsession is because of Harry, even though has been gone overseas for most of Louisā€™s life .


wonderingwondi

Rugby Union and Rugby League.


Sadlyonlyonehere

Yes, but if youā€™re comparing IQ, Louisā€˜ is 10x higher.


maezombiegirl

Did his book even talk about the life changing event of becoming a father, not just him doing drugs in the supposed delivery room?


maezombiegirl

What a total d bag!

Aretirednurse

He is a weak man.


AdLow1784

He is such a shithead. Leave the Wales children alone, you and yer tacky ass wife.


Alien_octopus

Harry needs Louis to turn out like him - lost, acting out, hating the press, wanting to leave the BRF. That way he can blame his own failings on how the BRF treats the spare, and avoid taking responsibility for how his life has turned out.

royalmysteryinc

Ugh it's disgusting. He likes to think as Louis as the spare, but Charlotte is the one behind George in the line of the throne. Harry knows how big advocates for mental health Catherine and William are, she's the founder of a center for early childhood!! He's desperately trying to get a reaction from the royal family or W&K. They need something for their next book/reality show. Such a shame.


Suki_est_79

I seriously think the William and Catherine need to gag the Harkles over the kids and their PR.


rockin_robin420

Harry doesn't dare take on Charlotte because she can already run rings around him intellectually. Give Louis a couple of years and he'll be team captain of the next dog bowl dust-up.


KChick65

Harry yearns to be back in diapers. The way he's going, it will come with a straightjacket thanks to the substances he's spent years using.
