Prince Harry Uses American Soldiers for Damage Control
King Charles will ride a horse in this year's Trooping the Colour, a first since the Queen stopped riding in the procession in 1986
Prince Harry is in desperate need of a little bit of damage control. Last week, the hapless prince wilted after his testimony for a court case that he considers his life’s mission came under immense public scrutiny and opened him up to more mocking and mockery.
And for some reason, the U.S. military continues to indulge this aimless man by inviting him to attend and speak at the Warrior Games in San Diego. As a reminder, he essentially stole the idea of the Warrior Games in order to create his own Invictus Games, which has an international scale compared to the American-based alternative.
It’s unclear what he said in his speech, but the Warrior Games did post a series of images on Twitter and wrote: “The final day of competition for #WarriorGames2023 was extra special with a visit from Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. Prince Harry spent time with athletes and their families, and watched the Sitting Volleyball Finals as the 2023 Warrior Games came to a close.”
The U.S. Army Army Recovery Care Program also stated: “Thank you #DukeOfSussex Prince Harry for all you do to help our wounded, ill and injured service members ! #WarriorGamesClosing #SanDiego #TeamArmy #ARCP”
Notably, they didn't include a video.
But why is he doing that? Why is the military letting him use them to help boost his own image? He’s not a former U.S. military service member nor does he have any role helping American soldiers, except to make sure they end up at the Invictus Games so he can line his own pockets.
That could seem rather cynical, as Harry could be doing all of this out of the goodness of his heart, but the reality of that argument ended the day he and Meghan Markle decided to put profit over service. Nothing with them is done with altruism in mind, it’s all about getting as much cold, hard cash as they can.
And, he’s using my military service members to do it.
Harry is not a man of honor, which is what I believe is a characteristic of many service members share. He’s a man of vanity, spite, bitterness, rage, jealousy, narcissism, selfishness and arrogance. So to have him show up at a military events, with service members pouring their heart out to compete against each other, I can only think about why he’s there and not someone, nearly anyone else.
He’s a man who selfishly abandoned his family, friends, obligations, responsibility, culture, tradition and all those BRITISH service members that he supposedly wanted to support, in order to galavant off to the vapid world of Hollywood so Meghan could make her dreams come true. That’s broadly failed, and now he’s a laughing stock on the international stage, and yet the U.S. military extended an invitation so he could, what, tell them the best ways of managing Meghan’s demands on a day when the press coverage is bad or tell them how much he wants privacy while violating his former girlfriend’s?
The most frustrating aspect about this ridiculousness is that this isn’t the first time the U.S. military is apparently willing to indulge Harry’s fantasy of still being a working royal. They invited him and seemed to give him a diplomatic welcome at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii last year. The man is a PRIVATE CITIZEN, as he’s told us so many times before, and yet the military treat him as a visiting dignitary when he’s a talentless producer just trying to constantly make a buck so he can file yet another legal case.
Our military service members deserve more than this coward, who was more than willing to leave friends and family behind in order to please his demanding and difficult wife.

Controversy is following the Middleton’s, after the couple sold their business Party Pieces after it entered administration (essentially bankruptcy) with £2.6 million in debts. Some of their creditors have expressed frustration at the collapse, citing the “trust” they felt in Carole’s status as the mother-in-law of the future king. Though it’s understandable that investors are frustrated with the loss, it’s wise probably not to invest in someone just because of their connection to royalty. However, this situation is still somewhat damaging to the Middleton brand.

Royal History News…
The “Book of Hours” featured in the portrait of Thomas Cromwell, the Chief Minister to King Henry VIII, has been found hiding in plain sight at Oxford’s Trinity College Library. This is an exciting discovery, as most artifacts included in Tudor-era portraits have been lost to history.
Librarian Dr. Nicolas Bell said, “This book of devotional prayers is remarkable for its unusually grand binding, covered with velvet, jewels and highly decorated silver gilt borders, all of which date from the time it was printed and illuminated. It has been enormously exciting to position this luxurious creation in the very centre of the court of Henry VIII, where we know that both Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn owned copies of the very same edition.”
The book is currently on loan to Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, until November 2023. It’ll be part of a new exhibition called Catherine & Anne: Queens, Rivals, Mothers.
I think Harry’s PR people contacted the military. However, why they would have accepted this stunt is beyond me.
As always, you're spot on about Harry. His vanity and selfishness are beyond the pale. Arguably, well, not really arguably, MM has amplified these ugly characteristics. Beatrice Borromeo is stunning and is an impeccable brand ambassador for Dior. She's reminiscent of her grandmother in law, Grace Kelly.
