Harry's new interview

[Viviennemary]

Harry has just given an interview quite a long one. I only heard a snippet and i'm totally incensed. Harry has said he doesn't know how long Charles has left. Who says that on TV for the whole nation to hear. What is the matter with the man. He is an absolute disgrace.

He's as thick as two short planks. Easiest mark Meghan ever set eyes on.

I have the children's song going through my head.

Nobody loves me
Everybody hates me
Going to the garden to eat worms
Big fat juicy ones
Tiny little squiggly ones
Watch them wriggle and squirm

Bite their heads off
Suck their juice out
Throw their skins away
I don't see how birds can live on
Worms three times a day

3rd verse:*
The first one was easy,
the second one was queasy,
The third one got caught in my throat.
Big fat juicy worms, slip slop slimy worms, fuzzy wuzzy little worms

He does get security when he visits Britain.

This fact has been missed out from all the coverage today.

Oh I forgot "the queue" - all ridiculous emotions for people we don't know and don't give a fig about us.

Ordinary citizens (like Salman Rushdie) exceptionally qualify for public security because they face an extraordinary level of threat

Based on the fact that they both wrote a book which upset a lot of people, I'm only surprised Harry hasn't hit on the connection and used Mr Rushdie in his nonsensical arguments

Charles should step aside and let the experts do their job

AND

Should intervene to give Harry the level of security he demands

'Er, Keir, can you do me a favour and give me everything I want? I can actually vote for you.

Just how relatable does he actually think he is? Does he think the British people want to hear this crap? Swanning around in a massive house in California and whining because he doesn't like his (perfectly adequate) UK taxpayer funded security when he deigns to come back, dissing his unwell father and questioning his life expectancy and that's before all the other stuff he pours on the heads of his family as "his truth".

This is a new low and I thought the barrel was being scraped previously.

How nasty. It was unbelievable that Diana had died. Most people were shocked. Most people can say where they were when they heard the news. She did good work. Never forget that she shook the hand of a person suffering from AIDS. That changed the public opinion towards people with HIV/AIDS. Her death was a national sadness and mourning.

So H threw a hissy fit and left the UK. A Royal or Royals threw a hissier fit and took away his security?
My money is on Cams.

The queue was an interesting phenomenon but not unprecedented. It's perfectly usual for people to queue up to pay respects to a deceased person of importantance. It happened with the late Pope a few weeks ago. It's different to folk lining a funeral route, howling and wailing and expecting bereaved children to comfort them for the loss of someone they didn't even know but just liked to read about in the papers.

National hysteria would be more accurate!

Yes, it was a shock.

But crying over someone you didn't know? Demanding her children placate complete strangers, and swallow their own - genuine - grief and devastation to do so?

Yes I don’t get that either. I also watched the Netflix thing where they absolutely TRASHED the royal
family and the institution.

Of course it was shocking and upsetting. But the previous poster seemed to want some recognition for crying at Diana's death. Harry himself has said this sort of performative grief created mental health issues for him. It isn't me saying it, it's him.

There's no logic to his argument. Royal residences are hard targets. If he brought his children to the UK on a family visit or for a state event they would get top security. I genuinely don't understand why he thinks he'll be at risk at Windsor or Balmoral. He's just dressing spite up as principle. (And I think he's really panicking at how he's going to pay for decades of security in California.)

I'm never get this attitude tbh. He's part of the royal family, a privileged man through his birth right.

Has he ever actually said "I understand that I entirely forfeited my family's trust when I wrote Spare and gave interviews. " ?

I liked Diana, I was upset when she died and I felt then and now that William and Harry should never have been put in the position of doing that walk.

ETA as thought I'd written it. It is not a life pass for Harry to do exactly as he pleases.

Many people cried. Most people were sad about her death. I would say that most were supportive to the royals. Look at the mourning for the late Queen - people were sad and respectful.

Where was his father?

One of the other issues that Harry is missing when he talks about politicians getting security - it's not just the risk to their person, it's the risk to the country. They are all people who have been part of briefings and knowledge about the highest levels of diplomacy and national security. Even years later they still know enough about procedures etc to be a threat if they were kidnapped and tortured.

Individuals like Salman Rushdie are also catalysts for serious outbreaks of violence in public - protecting them is also in part about protecting ordinary members of the public.

Harry is not Diana. And these are different times. If something happened to Harry it would be tragic on a human level but not an issue of national security. It might affect how people view the monarchy if enough people blamed Charles/William for not doing more, but it wouldn't harm the government or destabalise our national security. Harry hasn't understood that he's just not important to national life.

He is saying that he only gets ADEQUATE security when he’s here because the royal family asks him - otherwise it’s like having someone at the end of a phone.

he kinda said he risked his life to come here to charity stuff

others on this thread have queried this.

all the detailed facts of course will not be able to be disclosed.

He's just like Thomas Markle isn't it. Constant blabbing to the media then wonders why his family don't want to know. Doesn't he see the irony of cutting Markle senior off yet doing exactly the same thing himself.

He is so deluded 'some won't forgive me for writing a book', noo some won't forgive you for blabbing to the media and sharing personal info without their consent. What a humongous fool he is.

I am mid 50’s so the RF had a certain mystery growing up. We all fell for Shy Di and I always liked her. And yes, I know she had her issues, but she still had a unique way about her.
But the interviews that both her and Charles did changed that mystery. They were so controversial at the time - a future King and his wife both admitting to adultery. I am sure they both came to regret those interviews - and William was old enough to really take them in.
Out of all of the stuff that’s come out of Mexit, I think the Oprah interview was the most damaging event. It was absolutely diabolical and riddled with inaccuracies which we could see then, and now. And the timing was even worse. But it told the world the RF was racist and they had been bullied, with particular reference to Catherine making MM cry.
I think perhaps William had never forgiven that, considering how loving she had been toward Harry. It was a terrible betrayal.
There were so many lies it was awful, but people outdid of the UK believed them. Oprah doing the ‘wha’ and the misconception that Archie and Lilibet would never get their titles, when Harry knew full well that they would.
It turned my stomach, and I’m no fan of Piers Morgan but I thought he had a right to his opinion that MM is a liar. Because I think she has a very loose relationship with the truth. She made a liar out of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and that was really poor.
The book was boring and while it had a few moments, there was nothing that controversial apart from the dog bowl incident. It sold hugely but it’s not a classic.
The Tom Bradby interview saw Harry backtrack over the racism claims, but he stumbled over his words and accused the British press over it.
Our tabloids can swim in the gutter at times. I would not want to be famous it must be hideous.
But this young man chose a way and promised, as a pair, to being boots on the ground with their work. The fact is a lot of it is boring. And being in William and Catherine’s shadow was not going to help.
Had Harry married someone who he’d been with for longer, and wanted to be his work partner, he probably would have come on in and leaps and bounds. And please don’t come at me over his wife’s race it’s nothing to do with that. It is about being prepared to give up your life as you knew it for a life of service. Privilege but not wealth.
Harry is clearly still delusional. He has forgiven his family and wants reconciliation after watching them fed to the wolves. He got so wrapped up in his freedom flight and being a somebody in the US.
His father may be more ill than we know. He could die without speaking to his son, just as Meghan’s father will die without ever having met him.
Families are difficult - look at the threads on here.
But if you sell yours out for the dollar, then don’t come to us looking for taxpayer pounds to protect you.
And don’t guilt us into doing so by bringing up your mother’s death because that was an accident.
I feel sorry for Archie and Lili. No doubt they will be told Grandpa didn’t want to know them. Both Grandpas would have loved to have known them.
Harry and Meghan are selling different stories right now - he is the victim and she is the victor. I’m not sure which one is worse…

He’s an embarrassment.

Sorting out stuff around the funeral of his children's mother, I believe. What? Do you think he was downing gin slings and dancing the macarena with hula girls?
