No draw for you my lad



No apology for you, Harry! Duke told Firm will remain silent until he 'admits his fault'

Prince Harry has been told that the Royal Family will remain silent and will not issue an apology until he "admits his fault" in the ongoing disputes. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a series of explosive and incendiary claims in their Netflix docuseries aired last week and watched by millions around the globe.

It is now claimed that the former Royal couple wants a face-to-face meeting with members of the Firm to talk through their grievances.

In particular, they are said to want the Royal Family to acknowledge the pain and hurt they put the couple through.


Usually, when chess players find themselves in a losing position, they don't suggest a draw to the other player. It's cheeky. They certainly don't ask the other player to resign unless as a joke.

Harry's royal connection is a losing position, because time rolls on, interest wanes and that's all the creepy couple have. One of them probably knows it.

Call them in to the Palace, touch Megan's hair, and ask her where she's really from.

Ignore them, BP. It will be a trap.
If meet is in London, RF will get billed for private jets and full security.
If in California, the venue will be totally bugged and paps will be forewarned and mobbing the secret location.

I have long since lost any sympathy or respect I had for Harry.I am heartily sick of reading any more of their complaints and whining.

The Spouse plays a lot of online chess and estimates that, while suggesting a draw while losing is rare (less than 5% of the time), it is to far more common among players whose avatars suggest they are on the younger side of 30.

The increasingly apparent age divide in support (or loathing) for H&M is perhaps an illustration of a major cultural shift. A century on, we are once again looking at Fitzgerald’s ‘generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken...’, only back then, it was really only the well-off who indulged in the excesses and iconoclasm of the 1920s; this time, thanks to social media and greater affluence, the societal impact will be far wider.

Sam - but make sure she has no hidden recording apparatus.

Doonhamer - yes, ignore them is the best strategy. Time is not on their side.

John and Peter - people being sick of it all is what could sink their ambitions.

Macheath - it isn't easy to see what impact social media and greater affluence might have over what we see already. It could surprise us by generating a desire to preserve that affluence plus a greater diversity in what is seen to count as affluence.
