What is Harry trying to achieve?

[Butterflyfluff]

On the one hand he says he wants his brother and father back but on the other hand he is selling his story to the highest bidder like some Z-list celebrity.

How does he think this will end?

If it's about money why doesn't Meghan go back to acting? It would surely earn them more long term

I don't think he's vindictive or manipulative.
I think he's hurt. And that's not to say that he's doing the right thing - I don't think he is. And it's not to I believe Harry and Meghan or at least not everything.
I think he's hurting and he's lashing out and doesn't know how to deal with it all

For gods sake Harry stop digging!

its funny, I wish I could be bothered to count

Money.

He's showing us that money is his priority over everything. I hope it makes him happy.

Apparently he’s now saying William is his ‘arch nemesis’

What exactly could William have done about being born first

He really is a deeply troubled man and his marriage appears to have brought out the very worst in him

Spot on.

You deal with being hurt like the rest of us, with counselling and therapy and growing up to realise that sometimes life is not fair/kind/fluffy, and you have to live with imperfection and difficulties and that is life.

You don't deal with it by blowing up your family, your own future and your creditability in the world. You don't deal with it by selling your soul for millions and betraying everyone around you.

The only person that is going to be damaged permanently by all of this is Harry. It is ultimately the perfect act of self sabotage.

And to think they wanted 'privacy' and 'peace' and a 'new life'
Jesus wept.

He wants shut up money.

He asked for a half and half option when leaving which was declined.

He needs cash for his security, so is basically blackmailing his family.

" Until you give me the money I need/ want, I'm not going to stop speaking to the press."

No one is that stupid to think you build bridges with your family by humilating them on a global level. He just wants the cash and the publicity to help Meghan run for presidency. He's dreaming of no longer being a spare if he can be the husband to a US president.

It will make him money in the short term, but in the long term I think this is very damaging for him.

Who is going to want to work with someone who thinks nothing of publicly betraying his own family? Whose 'brand' is vengeance and negativity? The rich and famous guard their privacy very jealously, and won't want to be involved with someone so indiscreet and disloyal.

Maybe he could get a gig shilling prince proof dog food bowls? With an ad showing him landing on the unshattered bowl princely arse first, just for effect?

As I said, I don't think he's dealing with it right, just like you don't

I think he's always been hugely envious of his brother and as they grow up and the difference between their futures became clearer he became increasingly angry. He is now furious. This comes through in his comments constantly: there is a hierarchy in the RF (no shit), his book title, his repeating of Charles' comment when he was born (which was probably a weak joke).

I suspect now the only thing that would placate him would be for William to get on his knees and agree that Harry is better than him, or maybe for Charles to tell him he is his favourite child.

They want everyone to buy their made up story that they are innocent people who have done absolutely nothing wrong.

What they are actually doing is repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot but continuing to jump up and down shouting 'We're winning'.

Exactly! It’s like punching someone in the face and then expecting them to approach you and apologise.

Yeah I’m bemused at that,that and his comments that Charles and William hadn’t attempted reconciliation. I mean why the fuck would they? It’s harry that’s been attacking them, all because he didn’t get his half in half out shit.

Simple answer really, Money.
They seem to have quickly worked out the only way they can make enough money to give themselves the lifestyle he has always had is for them to sell their stories to the highest bidders and to do it over a period of time to stretch it out as long as possible.
Some fans of theirs will lap it up, some people will think they are just in it for the cash.
Public opinion will get more negative the more they do it.
And their "friends" will learn not to trust them not to leak any conversations in a future book.
They are probably already recording video diaries of themselves talking about how the press are reacting to all of this right now, ready for their next "documentary" for Netflix.
"The only way is Sussex" sums it up perfectly for me.

Not to mention that, putting aside personal feelings, Charles and William have all the power. Quite simply, Harry doesn't have anything they want.

He is projecting all the trauma of losing his mum. He is projecting his love for his mum on to Meghan and the need to "protect " her. He couldn't protect his mother but he can protect Meghan. Doesn't matter that Meghan doesn't act like his mother..

It so plain to see how the trauma has been handed down

Is is above all , immensely sad and the only person he will ultimately destroy is himsef

Agree, I just read on Twitter someone commented that we shouldn’t forget that William also lost his mother, and is only. 2 years older. And I think it’s a valid comment.

this is all about envy spite and money .

It’s almost Machiavellian and is actually very sad.

We have a member of the British monarchy selling stories about his closest family for millions and millions. Even doing publicity interviews to boost sales to help increase his royalties, whilst playing rhe victim and pocketing the cash , living in his 16 million dollar house with his actress wife in the USA. It’s really unpleasant if you think about it.

What i find strange is they were quick to criticise Meghans dad but are doing the same thing really
They could of had done so much its seems a shame

I don’t think Meghan father even said anything damaging about her, he was really just moaning that she had ghosted him after the faked pictures incident.

@Bluekerfuffle i know and they do all these interviews but they aren't really interviews as no one questions them with things like this , its just one sided

So much of this resonates with me. DHs brother is the same. We’ve never done anything to him.
He hates what he does, but it was his choice entirely(still earns more than DH) and married someone money obsessed but unwilling to work. He absolutely seems intent on our ‘downfall’ all the time. Often telling lies about us to relatives and trying to cause drama.
He also acted as if the death of their parents should only affect him and not DH at all (DH close to them, he wasn’t at all).
He seems utterly wrapped up in his hatred, and yet at the same time thinks we should be obsessed with his life and utterly adore him.
Bitterness is a dangerous emotion.

Universal relief that he's the 'spare' and not the heir.
