Why are interviewers not calling Harry out on his "version" of events?

[Kateforqueen]

The interviewers are very soft on him. Is he hand picking who interviews him & are they getting a list of off limit questions. Eg the Queen mother story

Why isn't he challenged?

Haven't read the link. I guess because they are giving Harry his chance to speak and their job is to do that, not to challenge him? They're not responsible for investigating, just supporting him to tell his piece.

He will be being picky around what interviews he agrees to and what questions are allowed.

But he has been and he has responded. He said his memory is patchy since his mother died, and his truth differs from factual truth, but it’s his truth he is telling Ie what he believes, which might not be the actual factual truth

I think he is selecting ppl to interview him to sell the book-I'm sure there is an agreement in place/questions in advance etc

He is def not sitting down with anyone who will ask unscripted questions, press contentious things or challenge anything-although I thought Tom Bradbury looked a little uncomfortable at bits and Harry looked annoyed so maybe off script a bit?

This is a publicity tour, not an investigation - it's not their job to challenge him. And because he just wants the book to sell lots, then rightly he is picking to do shows with people who aren't going to challenge him, and just let him plug it.

There's no 'show down' here even if that is what the British public (or some parts of the British Public) may want. He doesn't need to be held accountable. And thank god, the Palace seems to be inclined not to force that - probably hoping that by next month this will be overtaken by some other gossip

Harry claims that his memory curates as it sees fit, and that his curated memories are as valid as objective facts.

.

It's been proven that memory can be unreliable, so making a few errors doesn't necessarily mean it's deliberate.

@Fushiadreams have you read the book? He says his memory is very poor of before his mother died. Not after.

Agreed - this is a massive publishing story with huge global interest - the power sits with PRH and PH. All journalists want a part of this huge reach opportunity - so PRH and PH can dictate the terms.

It’s reading between the lines and watching the journalists subtly and skilfully give him enough rope to give further sensational / controversial details which is their aim - so that their show then gets discussed even wider.

if his memory is patchy maybe he should just have written about himself. The risk of hurting others with inaccurate recollections (which incidentally are always negative) is too high.

Good heavens. ‘So called objective facts’ 🫤

Maybe he can accept the “universal truth” of his wise grandmother that “recollections may vary”

Considering they've got several legal cases on the go, talking about how you create your own truth is like manna from heaven for any KC that will end up cross examining him.

I find it astonishing and very revealing that his admits his memory is poor but instead of acknowledging then that he might not have the right recollection on an event, he doubles down on insisting that "his truth" is just as valid as "objective facts".

He's delusional.

He really does come across as a bit daft. There are occasions when chronology is a matter of record, so we don't need to rely on memory. When your memory is at odds with that it is highly, highly likely that you are wrong. He has simplified the frailties of memory and it makes him look like a tantruming child.

I will believe Harry over any carefully curated Royal spin.

Where is the video of Harry receiving this call in a chalet?

If Harry is pushed on this matter, he may have to reveal more.

I bet that Charles was busy shagging Camilla and often leaving the boys at boarding school during his turn.

Best to just let this one go, I would say.

'Objective fact'

I used to have a lot of respect for Oprah, but I think interviewers have a duty to be robust and challenging. If they are happy to put their name to fluff interviews, where they just accept a story as told and ask for no corroboration, they are imo damaging their own reputations and acting shamefully as journalists.

While everyone has a right to describe events as they perceive them, in terms of how they felt, the facts are not variable, according to people's feelings and ought to be accurately defined. And when serious allegations are made (such as implications of racism in the RF), the accuser should be challenged in interviews to tell the whole story. Wishy washy hints, that damage people, with no solid back up shouldn't be aired.

Isnt it obvious? theyve picked people who will go soft on them, they didnt choose jeremy paxman to interview them because they know full well what will happen. Plus, all the questions have likely been approved first. It was purposeful.

I agree with the comments about his memory and "so called objective facts".

I can't decide if its an indication of how far from reality he is, or whether it's quite clever. If there were to be fall out further down the line from anything he did or said, he can say "but my memory is terrible, I said that right at the start. I just misremembered, no harm meant".

Either way, it does call into question everything he goes on to say.

"Where is the video of Harry receiving this call in a chalet?"

Seriously? Not only were there not many smartphones about at this time 🙄 do you not think it might be a bit inappropriate to video someone being told of their grandmothers death?

I agree that the RF are just as capable of curating facts, but even they can't curate TV and Swiss media coverage from 20 years ago. In this instance he has been shown to be incorrect in his recollections.

@notanotheroneagain 😂

A little bit of investigative journalism has dug up a very simple fact. Harry & family were on a ski holiday when the Qm death was announced.

Most people remember were they were when a significant person in their life dies. There are so many anomalies is in Harry's " truth " that perhaps he should see someone about a diagnosis of very early onset dementia!!

He's chosen interviewers who won't challenge him. I believe the questions posed by them may have been approved in advance.

That quote about how his memory is just as true as objective fact is quite chilling.
