Prince Harry's 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper

[MoirasSaggyBundles]

Just popping a link on here for anyone interested in watching it.

Also Harry doesn't say leaking was up cover up stuff but to rehabilitate which sounds like camilla and Andrew but really camilla had been rehabilitated by the time Meghan arrived wasnt she?

Yes, I really don't get this. Charles married Camilla in 2005. IIRC, not many people cared all that much, and she's quietly got on with royal duties. What rehabilitation was necessary? Is he talking about the public accepting her as future queen? Maybe it's Harry who can't accept her in this role.

His talking for William on the brothers' relationship with Camilla is also outrageous and hypocritical - when he complains about a joint statement on bullying being put out without his consent, can he now see the double standard?

I wish he'd just spit it out and stop being so opaque. He says he's speaking publicly because he doesn't want to brief the press with this stuff as his family allegedly do. But all he's doing is putting out vagaries and fuelling more rumours - which is no different to what happens when the press are given titbits by unnamed sources. He's not given a single example where the press have been briefed against him and Meghan by the family.

Just like the deliberately vague ‘racism’ claim which he now appears to be furiously backtracking on, the leaking claims are all very nebulous.

I suspect this is probably because if he named the supposed leaks it would likely transpire that the stories are true. Further, if the allegations were examined, people would realise that the RF had nothing to gain from leaking them.

After all, obvious negative stories like the tiara tantrum or bridesmaid row with Kate could probably have been leaked by any number of people. My eldest dc works for someone with close links to the RF and he hears plenty of gossip. People will always talk.

Harry must be mad to imagine that KC or William would seriously welcome or feed/encourage puerile tittle tattle in the tabloid press, which just undermines the institution as a whole



Saving to view later

Completely irrelevant, but is anyone else getting Mumsnet adverts for necklaces? 🤣

I think one was Dan Wootton (sp?). It was only on twitter, and he claims to have known about H & M leaving the UK before the royal family were aware because he was briefed by Meghan's PR team. There were a few replies from others claiming similar. Something that would puzzle me if I was Harry is Omid Scobie's knowledge e.g. how does he think OS was able to describe W & C house? Why did OS state that Meghan was going to Balmoral on the day HMTQ died, then have to retract at along the same timeline that H & M thought she was accompanying Harry, then discovered she wasn't. So much doesn't add up.

This interview is so different to the one with Tom Bradby. Harry seems calmer and more composed here and reinforces his narrative on the RF being racist whereas there is a huge backtrack on the racism narrative with Tom.

Maybe he wants the UK to think he doesn't view the RF as racist but the USA to think that he does.

There is a mass of inconsistencies and it's full of contradictions and the usual hypocrisy. I was expecting Cooper to be a bit more challenging in his interview but Tom Bradby was definitely more challenging than Cooper was.

@MoirasSaggyBundles any idea where the full 60mins can be watched?

It's supposed to be on ITV X from this afternoon. "60 Minutes" is the name of the (long running) programme - I don't think it means it's a full 60 minute interview - the link in the OP is the great extent of it, I think.

'I fully accept that writing a book is feeding the beast anyway'

Shut up then?

I haven't seen either interview, but I think Anderson Cooper tends to tread gently with people who have experienced the childhood trauma of losing a parent, as he himself did at about the same age as Harry.

Camilla is the wicked step mother who briefed against him to make herself look good

This makes no sense whatsoever.

Yes I agree that Charles and Camilla needs to do a LOT of PR to change perceptions so they could have a life together. And that the tabloid reading public were much harder on the woman (they always are) particularly as they pitted her against the prettier, and later deceased tragically young, Diana (just as they often pit women against each other).

But it makes no sense whatsoever for either Charles or Camilla to brief against Charles' DC. They needed everyone to look nice and happy - and bad stories about the DC ran counter to that aim. By the time Meghan was on the scene, they had been married for over a decade, and her position was pretty much assured by then. And I can't think of any particularly bad press about Harry at that time.

It's clear now that nearly all his wilder behaviour was not reported on, and only a couple of pix (Vegas and nazi uniform) ever surfaced, and the former of those was taken in a 'lads will be lads' sort of way anyhow.

So I really don't know what he's on about.

Anyone know why the video has been taken down - it’s been taken down on you tube too

Where can I watch this please as the video isn't available now, was it on telly?

ITVX online is supposed to have it this afternoon.

Here's another link from Australian TV with a bit of commentary before and after.

Oh he can.

He's playing to the crowd. One story for one audience another for a different one.

That's pure PR.

That undermines a lot of what he's saying and it will start being noticed.

It's a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between UK and US.

That's playing politics and fuck all to do with family grievances.

He thought his mum was still alive until the age of 23.
That;s a really worrying and long-lasting delusional state.

He entered the army in a state of shock, and found the normalcy healing.
being in a war zone is not normal and the fact that he thought it was normal and healing is a very concerning edict on his mental health.

He took psychedelics like mushrooms to heal his mind.
It's a fad to do this and has been for some decades but if a person is badly unbalanced, psychedelics are Russian roulette. They might help; they might totally break a person's mind.

To conclude: Harry is mad so I don't need to take anything he says seriously anymore. Thank you.

this
and I am not even that keen on KC and C but he seriously has not noticed this

agree with @potniatheron

he is dangerous

I can actually symapthise with that. My father died very suddenly when I was 13. As in, there one day, not the next. I wasn't allowed to go to the funeral, we moved and changed schools and the subject wasn't really addressed because it upset my mother so much. So for some reason there was this thought at the back of my mind that perhaps he isn't really dead. Perhaps he's somewhere and doesn't want to or can't get back. I was about 20 when I realised that was just y way of coping so yep, can understand him there.

Thank you OP 😊

You really haven’t noticed the myriad of articles and tv appearances by favoured journalists or broadcasters who are constantly writing about how terrific KC & Camilla are on the one hand, while stating how awful Harry and Meghan are on the other? Known long-term contacts of senior royals . They are very easy to spot!

Twenty years on it still pops into my mind fairly regularly that maybe my dad will come back.

I'm surprised to see so many speaking so confidently about a 'delusional state'. I assume they have also experienced a great and crushing grief to speak so authoritatively; unfortunately they have perhaps forgotten that we all experience loss differently.
