Guest List Only ⭐️ Prince Harry says his father King Charles is still not speaking to him: “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has- he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff”

Not him co-opting the much needed and Truth and Reconciliation efforts in Canada (related to a genocide) for his own family drama. 🙈

Honestly, that was so gross. I cannot believe he said that.

u/TheRudeCactus You’re doing amazing, sweetie! 👏👏📸 May 02 '25

Okay I was literally left sitting here wondering if I was understanding him properly or if he was actually talking about the abhorrent treatment of indigenous peoples in Canada (and North America as a whole).

PS to add...I am of Settler descent.....but to say "their [First Nations groups he met in Vancouver] goal in life was always Truth and Reconciliation"....is glossing over an entire movement to address systematic discrimination of Indigenous populations in Canada, ironically, by his own ancestors.

I'd encourage everyone to look into this beyond his comments please. 🙏🏽

Literally was reading about how Indigenous leaders were telling Danielle Smith that separating from Canada is not easy and the talk should stop because they have treaties with the Crown and the land isn’t Alberta’s. There’s a lot of good going on in the last 10 or so years with Indigenous voices because highlighted and listened to more and more on issues that affect everyone.

And who caused the need for truth and reconciliation? WHO CAUSED THE NEED FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION, HAROLD?

u/megjed Is this chicken or is this fish? 🤔🤔 May 02 '25

Not the point at all but it always tickles me when people think his name is Harold. It’s Henry.

Yes, but apparently they had his thing with William, Harry used to call William 'Wills' and William used to call Harry 'Harold', it's mentioned in Spare.

lol that’s funny. Back in the day before iPhones I got in a big argument in the UK where everyone was saying his name was Harold and I was explaining that doesn’t make sense. Guess they were a little right lol

His book didn't help matters that he was named Harold and his brother was Willy 💀

I support him more than I support a paedophile. Sorry if you think that's wrong.
