No source cited, so could just be made up news.

How do you all feel about this? Is it another refusing-to-fly-the-flag-at-half-mast-for-Diana misreading of the public mood? Does anybody actually care? And, if not, what does that signify?

I either how they’ll squeeze the Netflix camera crew up there on the balcony too.

why does Harry keep giving interviews, quoting his mother, talking about paparazzi and then using the paparazzi?

I actually think Harry has become unhinged. He seems to have a better relationship with his dead mother’s ghost than with his real live family, which is very sad.

according to the telegraph Harry is alluded to the Grey Men, the queen's advisors, in saying we talk about things and protecting her.

i agree, he is becoming unhinged and paranoid

And where does it end?

Harry is no longer trusted in royal circles he has turned himself into a pariah. When the Queen dies no one will see him ever again with the RF or in the UK, so he is cashing in whilst he can. Everyone is well aware that he is using the Queen to secure more contracts, he has no real interest in her wellbeing, had he really cared for her he would never have allowed Oprah to happen.
Now we have the book, so he needs to generate publicity for that, and the money shots and keep himself relevant and that is ALL he is doing. Cashing in whilst he still can, whilst the queen is still alive. It is truly despicable and indefensible.

It is a classic narc approach/attack. Charm and grease your way back in with promises of change and love, then use the content gained as ammunition to attack back. Harry has already made it clear he has happy to sell their private meeting already thanks to yesterday's interview. He simply can not be trusted.

And when he publishes his book (which will bankroll their lifestyle for another year or two more) we will soon see how much he adores his grandmother then - I think we need to be very prepared that he is going to try and take the RF down with him.
Mark my words, they are a couple scorned and will stop at nothing to get their revenge and payback. Lord only knows why they are so aggrieved given their privilege and lifestyle paid for by the RF and the British tax payer. The victim mentality and the savage way they have already treated the RF is not a good omen. They should not be given free access to the Jubilee in order to further inflate their profiles to launch the kind of pain and hurt that will be inflicted on the RF in the autumn. The RF would be nuts to let them do that. Keep him out in the cold, out of the way and do not give offer them even more ammunition fgs.

Once the Queen dies, I think the RF will close ranks and Harry and Meghan will really be out in the cold. This will affect their profile and marketability . Without that connection they aren’t interesting.

I do think H loves his grandmother, but he seems unable to see how his actions are hurting her and her legacy. All he thinks about is himself now.

Of course, because they're not 'haterz'

Its always an oversimplification. They're the same people who turned out in their thousands for the wedding, and who like them. But don't think they're above reproach, will criticise what they think is wrong.

I terms of advisers, its 5 years since Chris Geidt retired, and hasn't the on dit been that its essentially now a team ready to work with Charles?

This is a particularly beautiful picture of the Queen, the horses are to die for!

I thought this part of the interview quite telling. Saying that his mother had been sorting out William and now he was settled she has been sorting out him for the past two years. Seems a bit unstable and maybe some unresolved complex grief to work through. Or that unconsciously he is feeling much more emotionally and physically isolated than he is aware so searching for an anchor or connection with his deceased mother.

Is he trying to say this is what Diana would have approved of and wanted for him - to extricate himself from the RF/the firm as it’s likely what she wanted for herself.

I do think that being a parent for the first time when you have lost a parent yourself as a child has an unexpected and profound emotional impact and brings back your loss in a much more heightened way as the parent and grandparent who should have been sharing the joy isn’t there. It’s often a time when unresolved trauma and grief is re-triggered.

It is quite creepy to say your mother, who is dead is sorting anything out. It really sounds strange, of course she isn't sorting anything out!

I am not sure Diana would approve at all of his choice to hurt his brother in the way he has, and cause such huge division. This would not be something she would ever want to see, more than anything she wished for the boys to be close and supportive of each other knowing the path ahead. Harry has actively gone against her wishes in that way. I am not sure what she would make of Meghan either, she would see through the fake smiles and the story about not knowing who Harry was. She would I think have advised Harry to be careful if the truth be known.

If this is true, I am in awe of the Queen’s ability to forgive and forget.

She seems to forgive and forget much worse things. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whoever Harrys therapist is, he needs to find someone decent. He really sounds like he has a lot to work through.
Another thing that annoyed me is the comments how how very hard it’s been for him to WFH on zoom during the pandemic, how he has to be careful not to get burnt out. What?
Firstly, he doesn’t have any proper work. Secondly he lives in a enormous house with staff. Thirdly they surely have a nanny? Is he seriously whinging about that now?
Does he have no idea at all what most people’s lives have been like during the pandemic? Imagine if Charles or William had said such a thing!!

Much as I loathe the DM, this article sums it all up perfectly.

Working at home brings challenges to everyone. Everyone is at risk of burnout. I don’t like the word but it just means exhaustion. We don’t know what his days are like or how busy he is, what stress he has or much about his day to day life at all. But being rich doesn’t mean life’s stresses disappear. I forgot you could only suffer with stress or exhaustion if you’re on minimum wage. 🙄

No of course not, but he has staff and a nanny. Being interrupted by Archie shouldn’t be something he needs to worry about, yet he still moans about it. He also doesn’t need to work!!

I thought he was referring to 'mental burnout' when he mentioned that vegan and he clearly is grappling with some really tough issues, which may explain why the RF have been very careful not to totally lock him out in the cold. I am not sure it will hold for much longer though, the book is probably going to compound his pariah status.

By Jan Moir, 🤔

Anyone complaining about Harry’s inappropriate timing of the Oprah interview due to Philip being ill, should really have an issue with Jans timing of articles and what is appropriate. She is hardly someone that should be telling others how to behave.

W.G.A.F? Queenie made it known what she thinks of us; the people, when she had her dodgy son as her partner a few weeks ago. Off. with their heads!

Plenty of people lose parents as children. Including my DH, whose Mum died when he was 18 - his father had moved away with his stepmonster, and his stepdad kicked him out weeks later. He was literally left on his own, on an apprenticeship wage and had to sell his car to put a deposit down on a flat. His Mum would have been turning in her grave.

And guess what, he's never once blamed any shitty behaviour on his mum dying................. because he's a decent person who owns his own shit.

Harry needs to grow up, start acting like a decent parent and drop the whining. Are Archie and Lili going to thank him for ostracising them from their birthright and place in the RF?

Philip wasn't just ill vegan he was actually dying.

There is a world of difference between the two. I really feel you are minimising the destruction that H&M are doing to their family, also fellow human beings with feelings. Harry is not entitled to take away their need for empathy, compassion and kindness and yet we see so little of it from them.

I lost my Mum when I was 13, and my Dad when I was 20. After having my baby when I was 21, I had horrific health anxiety -- I was convinced that I would die of my mother's illness. Not a good time.

People had said Philip was dying for many years. Harry and Meghan were living their life from what I can see. Life goes on as much as at times we all want it to stop for us. People on another thread are saying Harry has hardly anything to do with the Queens health, if that’s the case and it was similar when Philip was ill, would he have known his GF was dying? These posters can’t say that he has virtually no contact, but then claim he was kept up to date with any regularity of his GF. It is annoying when these posters and their negativity start to contradict each other in their desperation to make Harry a baddie. 🙃

I think many people are guilty of minimising or completely ignoring, by saying it’s not true, the impact that racist comments from your own family, or the lack of support when your wife is suicidal would have. I’m not sure how much compassion and kindness I would show those people or how much they deserve.

It seems we must acknowledge the damage Harry has done to his family, but not acknowledge the damage his family have done to him. Very odd. All while hardly giving Andrew, the true cause of destruction, any mention, of course.

Yes, it makes perfect sense. 🤔

vegan Harry and Meghan did not have to launch their attacks on their own family in public during the last few weeks of Prince Philips' life, that was totally unacceptable and I am amazed, literally amazed you or anything can even think about defending such nasty behaviour. You don't just get on with your life of hurting people regardless of the death of a grandparent, for most people thankfully that would be unthinkable. You seem to have very low standards.

I don't believe for a minute anyone was being racist, our family always talk about what colour skin our babies will have, eye colour, hair colour and texture, tall and short. I don't know any families that did not do this, everyone does. Meghan for sure made that into something it wasn't. Once H&M clarified what was actually said most people thought every family does this! As it turns out Archie looks so much like Harry. It was harmless at the time, and blown up to suit their goals of smearing and damaging the RF (and getting a very big pay check)

You are worrying dismissive of their destruction behaviour, perhaps triggered by your own past issues, but honestly it comes across really badly defending them when Harry's grandpa was dying....as if the RF needed to deal with the Oprah fall out as well. It was extremely cruel.
