Will you be watching the harry interview tonight at 9pm?

Or will it be Happy Valley 😃 ?

How has he backtracked?

It was a concerning comment and still is.

As a white person he said he doesn't know if it's racist or not: maybe it's unconscious bias

As a black person I think it's racist

And the fact all these white people are jumping on this as 'phew he's backracked' is just not surprising to me 🙄🤔

He is also, like me, of a generation where hugging everyone wasn't the norm, I don't doubt from their actions that my parents loved me but I never heard them say it and I too feel uncomfortable at times the way Love you is thrown about.

Lots agree with you @Bradfordgirl

@BradfordGirl

Here is a reminder

You are splitting hairs over the context of the conversation.

As HRH said "recollections may vary"

But he is right he did not say the Royal Family was racist.

I’m half working so struggled to watch live. I suppose we’ll never know the full truth and probably all in the situation have good and bad behaviour. Has he been yet said what he could have done better though? That always concerns me a bit, it’s a bit of a sign. I’m sure he must in the book though.

All very sad.
If that's what therapy does for you I wont bother. He seems deeply paranoid.
Such a shame always had a soft spot for him, but he's really swallowed all the buzzwords. I hope he finds happiness but it doesn't look likely after watching that. Kept imagining his family watching it, they must be hurt beyond measure.

There’s a reason you haven’t heard much about them. Everything we read about this couple is filtered through the tabloids. We barely heard that MM won her case!

Maybe have a look in the Guardian?

It takes a very brave person to print anything about the tabloid right wing press in the UK because they have enormous power and resources, and journalists reporting on this will be afraid of that implacable force being turned on them.

I do hope Hugh Grant and other members of Hacked Off take Harry under their wing.

I think they’ll be a lot of red faces in th Palace and in Tabloid offices. They have been complicit in leaking stories and the Tabloids do twist stories. They will hate the fact Harry is talking about this.

I’d like to know about the legal actions he has in place. I expect the press are very keen to suppress all talk of them.

Semantics

The result is the same

I know what they said.
There were several "concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he was born,"

He just thought he was clever about it

Semantics?
This is what you all do when you accuse Harry and Meghan of lying.

Also the thing with Kate about how not to talk to her, I suppose it depends on whether it was the first or last straw. Suggesting Kate and William treated her differently because she’s biracial is a pretty strong accusation though.

He constantly filibusters throughout. One example. After the audio description of Dogbowlgate, TB asks Harry, "What on earth was that all about?" Which I took to mean, what were you arguing about to such an extent that it ended up in physical violence? Harry never answers. Waffle, waffle, waffle about we fought as kids, if I wasn't in therapy I'd have hit him, aren't I great that I'm working on myself and enlightened and he's a bully brute, and it's all the fault of the press, blah blah.

Fuck all of substance, questions not answered, everything comes back to the press every fucking time.

Yes he’s desperate for a response because he wants to sell more books/interviews replying to them. If there’s no reactions to his shocking outbursts the media interest will fizzle out. We’re getting used to/bored of his revelations.

He never used the word racist.

No, he is never direct. He’s really sly. Weasel, if you like.

I have now-dead relatives who made problematic comments - think "woolly woofters" for gay men. Were they awful homophobes - in real life, if they came across members of the LGBT community, I doubt they'd have been anything other than pleasant but upbringing, lack of diversity, a different time entirely, their age, their insular area up in the North East...adds up to what the press would surely label as homophobia now.

I think that's what Harry meant about his family and about Susan Hussey. That he did not label them racists but they may have expressed ideas/sentiment which many would deem problematic.

And Then they went on to say this was around the time that they were discussing if Archie would gain the title of prince. There was clear inference that a family questioning a grandchild’s skin cookout is also a family that will withhold a title because of the child skin colour. It’s not difficult.

That’s not to say that they are wrong in putting those two things together and linking them- but they did link them

Not the headline I would have run with, I agree. But I would say that his tone and body language at times indicated a huge amount of unresolved anger. There were times when he was clearly very unhappy with the line of questioning.

Just like his mother and her siblings acted towards their step-mother. He knows he can say what he wants, he'll never be asked to prove it and the other side won't soil themselves getting involved.

So they’re not racist then - glad that’s been acknowledged (although they didn’t address what they said about Archie not being given a title because of his race). They are the ones who should apologise - they didn’t correct the people who called the royal family racist did they ?

*skin colour

They barely even count as 'revelations'. So some unnamed royal 'planted' some unnamed story 4 or 5 years ago? Who really cares at this point?

He seems completely fixated on the past. So much for finding freedom.

when you live for a long time with someone they have an effect on you.
Just look at Relationships if you don't believe me. Parent/child; partners. If you don't think partners have an influence on each other, that's just strange.

Harry is clearly devastated beyond belief about his mother dying (which believe me, I get).
I think he and William were terribly treated - dear god, having to do that walk behind the coffin, and I bet that wasn't the tenth of the lack of compassion - but I also think that the dynamics of Meghan and the dynamics of him have been terrible.

Yes, I do think she's responsible for quite a bit, though I also think the RF handled her coming into it terribly. From being pro-Royal, im now thinking they are a mess and we should have a Constitution and a President.

If nothing else she should have told him to NOT DO THIS BOOK. Or interview.
