why is it always someone else's fault? He and his wife cant take any responsibility for anything at all that girls wrong in their lives. It is always someone else's family,.
And apparently yet another interview talking about his mother's death and its effect on him . He needs to stop.the rehashing of old grievances and move on as he is destroying his current life by not dealing with it effectively.
The old adage of giving someone enough rope and they will hang themselves is so.true in this case. The more Harry talks the worse he looks .

I'd keep my powder dry if I was William. Meghan still has a book to write.

flapjackfairy · 02/01/2023 13:12

goes wrong
someone else's fault !

PicturesOfDogs · 02/01/2023 13:12

It sounds like he has no relationship with them atm then.

I know on Oprah he said that his father had stopped taking his calls at one point , but when she asked is he taking your calls now, Harry said yes now he is or something.

I’m assuming no calls are being taken again.

thecatsthecats · 02/01/2023 13:12

I've seen similar levels of desperation and bitterness from ex-employees when relationships broke down. (I was the manager of the man in question who had a beef with a senior member of staff)

There's a point where one side feels so bitter that they feel entitled to restitution. More than that. Complete and utter, on your knees abasement to the wrongs that they perceive to have done them. And as a series of people failed to mediate to a reasonable solution, each of those people were added to the line up of "baddies" this man perceived, and added to the list of people who owed him. Now only that, his personal behaviour grew more demanding.

"Let me book this expensive hotel. Let's book this fancy restaurant for dinner. We should get this big drinks tab on work."

The more he hated work, the more he felt it owed him, the less effort he put in and the more he made everyone around him unhappy.

And the new CEO summed it up as, "When nothing you do can make them happy, everyone stops trying."

I think Harry fell very much in love. He put Meghan on a pedestal that wasn't helpful for her, and didn't take advice or support her (I imagine it would have been very different if they'd had an "Anglesey", with Megan acting). Then when things went wrong for her, he reacted unwisely too.

None of this was her fault. He seems a very damaged man without the wisdom or maturity to make good choices for his life.

Arghhhh he is so annoying!!!! I've no words. Harry you d made your bed!!

@Janiie doubtful as they prob only agree to go on witH set questions etc like many
Its very sad really that is has come to all this , they seemed to have a close relationship as brothers which has been broken and sometimes you can never go back to what was even if you do move on and make up

Yes, it was revealed before Christmas that there was a set list of questions they were allowed to ask.

Rinoachicken · 02/01/2023 13:13

I wonder what he has in mind? “Me, Will & Dr Phil”?

Bringing back Jeremy Kyle seems more appropriate at this point

Well if you lot would stop wittering on about every single move this man makes, sky news will stop commissioning interviews with him and then he will magically disappear.

He won't magically disappear. He and MM will continue to jump up and down shouting 'look at us, this way' as the wall around them gets ever higher. And then they'll get their friends to chip in.

Which includes the one who, apparently, says that after Harry's book is published, he wants to reach out an olive branch. Well, Harry, the biggest olive branch would be to cancel the book - but that would ruin the me, me, me narrative wouldn't it?

Ridiculous couple.

Rhondaa · 02/01/2023 12:44

Exactly! I would love an interviewer to say 'how is what you have done any different to what TM did, selling stories and breaching pivacy about family???'

I bet Thomas Markle would like his daughter back too.

What an absolutely arrogant fool H is.

difference is they did more of it. Over a longer period of time. For more money.

I was so supportibe when they decided to move. Thoguth good on them. The contsant chucking of toys out of the pram and the moaning about their gilded lives has rather changed my view.

JoyPeaceSleep · 02/01/2023 13:16

Yeh, after they get the 34 million, then they extend an olive branch.
🙄

BasiliskStare · 02/01/2023 13:16

I suspect M&M have some legitimate concerns - the JC comment was appalling but after they left and some horrid comments beforehand. But also many supportive comments But they have told untruths and have hinted at things rather than be clear and to be honest I do not see any self reflection in these two. Harry I think has done a marvellous job with the Invictus games but does he honestly think he could have done this as a normal soldier rather than being 2nd son of the King / POW as he was then. Yes he is 2nd fiddle in that he is not the heir but Oh how I think they missed a chance to do good work for causes they are interested in.

I would say to Harry and Meghan - in the words of Malcolm Tucker - e - fucking - nough. ( of your complaints about the RF as a way of making a living. )

JoyPeaceSleep · 02/01/2023 13:17

@Janiie yes, somebody should ask them to talk us through how that is different

Rhondaa · 02/01/2023 13:18

He says 'they've made no attempt at reconciliation'. Why should they? Has H and his wife attempted reconciliation with Markle Senior?

The rf have also and more importantly shown no signs of retaliation and I bet they have loads of stuff that would humiliate and damage brand SussexUSA

To be invented....fiction section I suggest.

OMG12 · 02/01/2023 13:19

It’s becoming increasing clear the man has some serious mental health issues which are being exploited by his wife. I don’t think he really can see the issue about himself, I think the only hope he has of reconciliation is to divorce his wife

tara66 · 02/01/2023 13:20

Wish he would just go away and shut up. Polls say most people in UK do not want them at coronation.

susan12345678 · 02/01/2023 13:22

I wonder if the same people who criticised Camilla for attending the same lunch as Jeremy Clarkson days before his offensive article was published will also be so disdainful of Harry giving an interview to the channel which pays Jeremy Clarkson millions a year?

Good point!

Whoever is advising them (!) is clearly acting in bad faith and profiting from the car crash.

dottiedodah · 02/01/2023 13:22

Maybe his childhood was somewhat dysfunctional.However as Ozzie O used to say What family isnt! Nuff said Harry. you and your wife may have some grievances but airing your dirty laundry on a bestselling TV series was never a good idea.If he really wants to make amends ,then maybe do some good works ,STFU about your royal relatives and you may find them more amenable in future!

loislovesstewie · 02/01/2023 13:23

Start talking to your dad then and not the rest of the world. And start acting your age, not like a whiny toddler.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 02/01/2023 13:23

I just hope nobody on here is going to buy his book.
It’d be good to see many of them remaindered (going Spare, ha ha) and offered at 50p a pop.
I expect I’m going to be disappointed there, though. 🙁

Inkanta · 02/01/2023 13:23

Because he wears his heart on his sleeve doesn't mean he has "mental health issues". He might be grieving the loss of his brother and father but nothing necessarily more serious than that. Normal processing.

Inkanta · 02/01/2023 13:24

I will be buying his book. Can't wait to read what he has to say.

Mummyoflittledragon · 02/01/2023 13:24

Did Harry ever lose his father? Didn’t he rather throw him away? The same can be said about Thomas Markle. Meghan didn’t lose her father either. His phone was taken over by persons unknown whilst he was in hospital either whilst undergoing or having undergone surgery. I’ve had major surgery. If someone decided to take over my phone during that time, I couldn’t stop them either.
