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

This

Do shut up Harry

You are no longer beloved...

I'm interested to see Anderson Cooper's interview. He's known for asking 'uncomfortable' questions then calmly 'pursuing' the answers and not allowing the interviewee to prevaricate or change the subject.

If this turns out to be some pre-publication puff piece I'm going to be very disappointed in him. Anderson, I mean. I'm already disappointed in Harry.

I try to look at it as if my family was having 'issues' with one of my sons. What if he wanted 'talks' and insisted on 'privacy' then went blabbing and spinning our conversations and/or lying to all the neighbours? I'd be devastated and honestly I don't know if I'd be able to come back from that.

I still think there is H &M's version and the RF's version. The truth lies somewhere in-between. We're never going to know the 'true' truth.

What a waste of money. It will be plastered all over the papers and SM anyway. What’s going to be in it? Complaining, whinging, whining and griping about every thing. Oh and of course he’ll talk about his mother and how marrying Meghan was like marrying his mother (not in so many words but the man needs to see someone about his Oedipus complex). I wouldn’t waste a penny on it personally.

Wouldn't you? I can't wait - bring on 10th January. I'm saving up for it.

Why would the RF trust him. ? Whatever they say will be published. He wants a family. I get that but he was born into the RF. that is his family. He either accepts that or not.
I am tired of watching a privileged entitled grown man acting like he is three. He doesn’t like his family then move on. He has had a life most of us would dream of. He doesn’t have to worry about putting the heating on or healthcare etc. families are suffering and he is moaning and moaning. He says he is happy with Megan and loves her then why not enjoy his life. ? Why carrying on moaning. We don’t need to hear his whining anymore

Exactly. I've just read Martina Navratilova has been diagnosed with breast and throat cancer and she's moans less than him. He's truly blessed but he's just to wrapped up in self-pity to see it.

In fact her mistake was looking at William and Kate and thinking that was how her life might pan out, instead of looking at Anne and Andrew and Edward and at all their children - the ones who just missed out.

Did they miss out?

Or did they get to enjoy the immense unearned privilege of being born royal, without the lifelong responsibilities and restrictions of being monarch?

From where I'm sitting, being the 'spare' is a fantastic deal. Nearly all the perks, with much more freedom and flexibility. It certainly gave Harry privileges, status and wealth he could never have come within a million miles of based on his own merits.

I think PA works very hard, doing all the boring hard yards at cardboard box factories in Leicestershire. No way would M have done that.

Jackiewoo · 02/01/2023 15:02

Harry is the worst sort of dim bulb, because it comes with a giant dollop of arrogance. So its no surprise if he has a complete lack of self-awareness that there might be consequences to his awful behaviour. KC does the right thing by swerving him.

The silly sod has aired his dirty laundry such as it is, not much apart from his brother shouted at him which from his behaviour in the last few years has probably been deserved for decades! He's sold his soul for money he didn't need and a shot at shallow celebrity (which the talentless duo are failing spectacularly at). So far its all a massive own goal, he comes off as a whining baby. The guy is nearly 40!

If this was my family nobody would give him the time of day either, we'd ignore him and let him exhaust himself till he was out of bullets. Then keep on ignoring indefinitely. Take his calls or meet with him - not a chance. Which is what the RF appear to be doing.

If you need to save up eight quid, you really have other necessities to spend your money on.

We'll see. Will feed back what I think after I've read it. I expect those who don't read it will want to find out on these threads.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/01/2023 15:09

I wonder if Bradby challenges any of his claims and delusions?

As with Oprah, I very much doubt Bradby would have got the interview if that was the intention - though doubtless we'll again be invited to believe that the questions haven't been discussed beforehand

In fairness Harry would probably have had a point about the RF feeding the media what suits if he wasn't doing exactly the same thing himself. Worse, anything the RF chose to say would almost certainly be twisted into more "persecution" and so prolong the entire circus

And then some still insist this is a happy man ...

Spambod · 02/01/2023 15:10

But how can any of the royals realistically have any relationship with him when he will sell their words straight to the press. Harry has become the press he claims to hate. Harry is the media now.

MarshaMelrose · 02/01/2023 15:11

From Anderson Coopers interview...
there "has been absolutely no willingness to reconcile (from RF)."

"Every single time I’ve tried to do it privately, there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife," he says in a preview for his interview with Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes,” airing Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Didn't Harry talk to his father after the OW interview then leak the conversation to Gayle King?

Cornettoninja · 02/01/2023 15:12

Urgh, they’re just going to keep rehashing the same old stories with a couple of bits of new bait until they feel people understand (aka agree with them) or they can’t commission anymore media space.

I think the RF will be fine but I do feel sorry for TM. I think he really loves his daughter and didn’t think she’d put him in this position, especially as his health would suggest time isn’t on his side.

Someone said they were saving up to buy it half price at the booksellers and 2/3rd off at a major supermarket. So already in the bargain bin.

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

Oprah would love that gig. Grin But the way they're going they would be better with Jeremy Kyle.

Bestcatmum · 02/01/2023 15:16

I'm beginning to think that he is seriously mentally ill.
He's never going to get his family "back" because they are part of the monarchy and as such their lives are duty and obligation, what does he expect them to do - dissolve the monarchy and go to him on hands and knees wearing sackcloth and ashes?

MarshaMelrose · 02/01/2023 15:16

Taken from NBCnews website.

They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story and at the bottom of it, they will say they've reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment — but the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting," Prince Harry states. (..)

NBC News has contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

Haha. NBC has a sense of humour.

Blossomtoes · 02/01/2023 15:17

I really wonder if his wife looks at him sometimes and thinks “Wtaf have I done?”

bloodyplanes · 02/01/2023 15:18

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.

Absolute rubbish! Anyone with half a brain who watched him on Netflix can see that he has serious mental health issues! He's clearly mentally unstable just like his mother also was!

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 02/01/2023 15:20

God he really is like a child. Or an annoying friend. Falls out with you, slags you off to people and then sulks because you don’t call them.

Wheresthebeach · 02/01/2023 15:21

H&M record and film everything for their own uses, largely to play the victims with the RF pantomime villains. I hope the public grow tired of it and stop watching and reading. The level of spoiled arrogance is mind boggling. He’s just angry that he’s not the heir. I wish he could see the immense privilege he’s had and appreciate the mind boggling wealth he has simply by being born. Instead he’s like a toddler screaming in the corner for more toys.

justasking111 · 02/01/2023 15:21

Didn't see the Netflix thing so no idea what his mental health is like. A lot is down to editing so who knows

With the money Harry has and the life he had, there is/was no reason to sell his soul to the media

He clearly didn't have enough to satisfy Meghan's ambitions when he first met her. He's selling his soul for a big house for her.

I think MM's position is quite precarious really. I imagine she has to put up with quite a lot of H's wounded ego and general raging while continuing to jockey for 'relevance' in her own career.
