Bloody hell. Harry is just utterly deluded isn’t he. It’s bizarre that he can’t see the most basic contradictions in what he’s saying.
Although I’ve ceased to be shocked by much he comes out with, I think the claim that his father / the Royal household are central to denying him the kind of security he wants because they wish harm to come to him is unbelievable.
for him to then say he wants reconciliation in the same breath is just insane. Firstly because why would you want to reconcile with someone you feel is actively out to put you in harms way, and secondly because how on earth can he think that saying these things would make anybody want to reconcile with him? But, as ever, Harry thinks he can say and do whatever he want and that should have no bearing whatsoever on how people feel about him.
the other comment he made which I find appalling is that he “doesn’t know how long his dad has left.” Now while it could be a generalist comment because his father is older and he’s totally frozen out, it’s pretty inflammatory as it suggests that the King’s cancer is terminal and he might not live that much longer - something which has absolutely not been suggested to the public in any communication.
he's just a horror.
I do find it interesting that BP chose to issue a statement this time having ignored so much else that has happened - and I thought the statement said a lot without saying a lot - it shows that they are sick to the back teeth and utterly fed up with Harry’s behaviour on this issue.
It will be interesting to see what, if anything, happens now. Harry has flounced - obviously he’s trying to now leverage other powers that be to support him on this but he will fall on deaf ears - I can’t see any way that Starmer or Cooper are going to get involved. And then what? At some point surely he will run out of options.
It did make me wonder though if California are indeed providing him some security. Not that Harry minds contradicting himself, but the statement about “other governments seeing fit to provide” security seems very strange if he’s not getting anything in the country he’s actually chosen to live in when apparently he’s totally unsafe without fully taxpayer funded police security. And if Newsom has been on Newsnight defending the Sussexes position (I don’t know what he said), maybe there is something there. Or it could be Harry’s usual cognitive dissonance.
