Best Prince Harry Interview so far by GMA

Some serious questions were at last asked by the interviewer - he did a better job in ten minutes than any other has done in 90, but Harry is so brainwashed he somehow manages to bat them away? He really cannot see any wrongdoing on his part.

I am buying the book because I'm seriously interested to hear these 'examples' of leaks.

Just for clarity - I don’t think Meghan caused the flood 👍🏻

oakleaffy · 10/01/2023 01:28

This interviewer did a much better job than Oprah.

Harry doesn't half flip flop about. Full of contradictions and retractions.

A bit of blurb about The Late Show:

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late night,

V different tone / set up from any of the other interviews. This is live and post launch - expect he was hoping to be triumphant.

He might use the flood evacuation in Monteceito to excuse himself……

Im expecting it to be a fluffier interview but will be difficult live. But he is so well drilled with media training answers he will probably be fine. if you look at CBS, GMA, ITV interviews….they ask him an awkward question about wills , KC etc and he always ends with I love them and hope to reconcile soon etc so that he deflects and puts a full stop to the question

Im wondering if Meghan and the kids would have travelled to NY for support. They may not be in CA

Ticketyboots · 10/01/2023 01:38

The Late Show had Michelle O and Shania Twain on last week - so obviously a huge platform for him.

If it’s comedy, satire and live - not sure how he will do? He can have an easy manner convivial about him but not sure he would have the band width for any self deprecation / bantz after the past 5 days.

The Mail have photos of Harry arriving at the studio in New York today in order to pre-record his segment for Tuesday night.

Orangefir · 10/01/2023 01:42

Also like the commentary at the end when he says that Harry is willing to admit his faults as long as the RF have accountability. Said similar in CBS

Is anyone aware of they mistakes that’s he’s admitting to? (I mean we know what they are but he lacks such self awareness I’m not sure he does)a I haven’t ward anything anywhere where is his admitting even a small degree of fault.

I also liked that the interviewer clearly had a presence that put Harry in his place and wasn’t going to be rude with his answers unlike the ITV interview.

The interviewer says you sold out for money basically and Harry retorts that it’s to set the record straight…..about what though ?? Flower girl dresses. He’s so petty

Re Camilla, by the way Harry talks Camilla must have had a lot of press but until recently I didn’t see much of her in the press over the years. Unless he means the press withheld stories about her, but as a previous poster said it’s hard to imagine what salacious things she was getting up to as a woman in her sixties at that time.

I hope so. Sick of their whining now.

The thing is all the cluckfest around this is what drives the market - Justine calls it deranged yet profits from the increased traffic. H&M are global box offcie gold and in an age of social media can pivot any which way they like and get paid for the privilege. When S1 of the Carcrashians comes out I'm in ...the one in which Meghan does hilarious impersonations of RF members and Harry moons out of the bathroom window channeling Kate at school.

However in their own very English aristocracy way they have been probably ignoring that and telling him to keep that stiff upper lip going which is very sad

Yet in an interview in 2017 Harry said William told him s few years before the interview out of concern he should get help for his emotional troubles and he did and it helped. So not sure I buy the family were ignoring Harry needed help. Also Charles had years of therapy so he probably understands ignoring it does not help.

Interesting, who does the Late Show?

Also interesting that quite lot of the leaked stuff came up in those prerecorded interviews

I think the GMA interviewer may have had access to the book and almost certainly Anderson Cooper had access to the book , (not the Spanish one). If not in full, in part.

Ok, I'm in the US, and I don't understand about all these "briefings." I assumed it was someone (Camilla?) was leaking stories about Harry to the press. Is there evidence of this, and if so, how do bad stories about Harry make Camilla look better? Or have I completely misunderstood?

I think it may be trade. ‘Don’t write this bad stuff about me, and I’ll give you some other bad stuff you can use about this other person instead’. Meanwhile, the person offering the trade gets a story out about their country lifestyle, or their work with orphans.

I also don’t think the Queen knew everything that went on. She was no dummy, she would have known it was happening generally speaking. I think we assume because we live in the ‘modern age’ that the old style court politicking no longer exists. But it seems it does.

The entire City of Montecito has been evacuated due to flooding. IF he cancels the Late Show interview, it would be because of this. Unless Meghan, the kids and the animals are safe, I cant imagine him staying in New York for the interview.

Yeah, that'll be the reason. 🙄 😂😂😂

Just watched the 60 minutes with Anderson Cooper - or actually 28 minutes as it was on the itv hub

There is definitely compassion for a young boy who lost his mum and then for years still told himself that she was still alive and was hiding from the press. He has a lot of demons that he needs to work through. The army gave him the structure and normality he needed but when he came out of the army I think he had lasting trauma from his mum and further trauma from the army (as many ex service people do). Would things have been different if he stayed? It seemed to give him a purpose other than “the spare”

I think he genuinely needs help and his family know that. However in their own very English aristocracy way they have been probably ignoring that and telling him to keep that stiff upper lip going which is very sad

I do think Camilla has been very close with the press, just look at her lunch with Clarkson days before that column, but sounds like all the offices are as bad as each other and overall it’s just very dysfunctional

Honestly I don’t think he will ever get the peace he says he wants

When he talked about running on Adrenalin since he was twelve/ his mothers death I understood that. It was probably why he was suited to the army.

(Im only guessing now, obviously, but it did occur to me that the drink and drugs were a way of him self medicating to calm the adrenalin).

He did talk about anxiety attacks on the series he did with Oprah, how he’d be at a function and be sweating and anxious.

I can even remember the hatred towards Prince Andrew’s former girlfriend Koo Stark.

Who never spilled the beans about her relationship with him, unlike his suitable society wife.

Yes, press coverage of Koo Stark was awful. They really wanted to shame her. Did Andrew speak up for her?

mathanxiety · 10/01/2023 03:29

@Bjarnum

The question of his titles is all a big fat pile of incomprehensible quaintness to Americans, who do not use titles and don't see the relevance.

MarshaMelrose · 10/01/2023 03:30

Just a few weeka ago she sued the Daily Mail, and won, because they brought up the fact she had dated PA and they labelled her a porn star. So still going through it all these years later.

mathanxiety · 10/01/2023 03:38

@BraveGoldie

Excellent summing up.

The big fish the press is after is Andrew, but his misdeeds are so damaging to the RF and to the reputation of QE that some other member had to be thrown under the bus instead, and it wasn't going to be the Heir. I suspect where it all fell apart for W & H was the press finding some dirt on W. The price of silence was Andrew or someone else.

This is a family clearly raised by wolves.

We can now say, with confidence, “It happens in the best of families.”

What happens in the best of families?

Anything you can think of.

DingDonkey · 10/01/2023 03:43

I wish he'd give more concrete details. Like his cryptic comment about the "leaking and briefing" on the day of the queen's death. The only things I remember reading about him that day were from Omid Scoobie saying firstly that Harry and Meghan were going up to Scotland (which I assume must have come from Harry) and then correcting that to say only Harry was going (presumably when Charles told Harry not to bring Meghan).

I will probably be buying the book...I want to see it for myself rather than rely on secondhand accounts. It does gall me to line his pockets though.

CoffeandTiaMaria · 10/01/2023 03:49

Ticketyboots · 09/01/2023 22:48

Just seen Omid tweet that this year H&M will “retreat” ….

So they can plan their next bombshell? So Megain can finish her autobiography?
A forlorn hope I guess that they might shut up and disappear from sight 🤬
