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.

Harry hasn’t associated with trafficked women and convicted predatory abusers. Andrew has
Harry may have shortcomings but he doesn’t have unanswered questions about trafficked woman and a civil settlement that his mum paid to the victim

Harry is manifestly damaged because of hos dysfunctional upbringing

He was a very resentful and envious child. Who got the extra sausage? Who got the bigger bedroom?

Doing the interview was a smart move. Should another "unfortunate accident" ever happen, it will be on the record that Harry fought tooth and nails to be provided with security( unlike what happened with Diana, they won't be able to spin it as "oh but she did not want Royal security").

As mentioned in the interview, the fact that he is not a working royal is irrelevant.
Former PMs (yes lettuce Liz Truss included) despite having served for X years are still entitled to life long security. He did not choose this position and he should be entitled to security.
I simply believe that his family do not care whether he lives or dies( his innocent kids included).
I wish he can finally come to terms with this realisation and enjoy the rest of his life with the love of his life and his beautiful children.
I wish him and Meghan well and hope they can finally close this chapter and live a happy life.

What planet do you inhabit to be able to pretend that Harry and Meghan are ‘good people’ who’s poor families are somehow responsible for all H&M’s incompetence and betrayal?
Planet Thirst?

Is Charles is awful and the RF is dysfunctional the latest script? Is the narrative that we are trying to excuse Harry, a man in his 30s by blaming his family because he doesn't understand that he only got full time security while he was a working royal? Is tbe narrative that everyone is corrupt except Harry who describes things as being "his truth" and not the objective truth?

His statement and interview is confusing and contradictory. Also for the millionth time, he gets security in the UK, he just needs give 28 days notice and accept he isn't as important as his Dad, The King and his brother, the Prince of Wales.

It’ll be the same with George, charlotte, and Louis, who gets the biggest mansion to live in. I think we should do away with royal family now to save those little children who know no better.

And yet William seems to have turned out fairly sensible?

We're all different I guess. Why does one sibling ever turn out ok and another goes off the rails?

It's totally shit for any child who needs a loving, caring, close parent and doesn't have one. Harry is just more public about it so we can all see how damaging it is.

I think the saving grace is their mother and her family seem relatively normal and level headed so there’s a chance these three have some semblance of a normal relationship as siblings when they grow up.

DeffoNeedANameChange · 02/05/2025 22:03

I do feel sorry for him - I've always found his story heartbreakingly sad. I think it's especially sad that even meeting Meghan and having his lovely kids and moving away for a fresh start etc really doesn't seem to have made him happy.

I know people bandy about "he's thick" as an insult, but I've always thought he's genuinely just not that clever, which leaves him quite vulnerable. The Oprah interview and the awful frozen todger book might have been worth it if it had brought him some genuine peace to have told his story. But he seems more miserable than ever.

I guess no one stands to profit from advising him to quietly live his life in peace, and gently pointing out to him that he has the agency and the finances to affect positive change in his own life, where so many don't.

The BBC are just loving their 'exclusive' extraordinary interview. Stirring buggers.

I agree. They will all be fine so long as royal family are out of this equation. But they won’t be.

I'm not certain what Harry was really trying to prove with his court case either. He has travelled to Africa and South America with his wife with no issue, parts of the world with far worse security and more risk. Even crossing LA is a danger. Yet he cannot travel to the UK?

Absolutely this. I don’t get how he can live in a country that allows private citizens to own guns (and I assume he must have a degree of private security) yet he argues it’s unsafe to come back here.

Stupid man is tone deaf, sat there crying to the BBC in his California mansion and he’s cost us the tax payers millions of pounds in legal fees that could have been spent on other things. What a selfish twat.

upinaballoon · 02/05/2025 22:06

Harry, you can show your children your homeland if you really want to and for crying out loud stop using 'myself' for 'I'.

Your life has exactly the same worth as everyone else's, no more and no less.

Eh. Charles is an elderly man. An entirely understandable thing to say about someone of that age

Not on National TV. Not when you are talking about your own father. Not when you are talking about the King.

EasyTouch · 02/05/2025 22:10

Harry is the White Kanye West without the nonce factor.
Non accountable, liar, always needs an enemy, attention seeking at any cost, rewrites history, does not respect anybody's privacy, yoked himself to a fame seeker who he puts on a pedestal but who will outshine him whilst his stock tumbles. Has no friend, is a bridge burner supreme.

And easily manipulated until the manipulator cannot bear his awfulness and dimness any longer.

Even his mother knew that something was off about him.

She'll be raked through the coals by him when he is more on his uppers.

Donda was deified by Kanye, despite him turning out how he did.
Now he's raking her through the coals since people are more and more ignoring his rants.

Now that we know that cheeky.chappy Harry was a Royal Men In Suits confection, let's see how bitchmade Harry really is.

Vespanest · 02/05/2025 22:10

The elephant in the room with the Charles versus Harry was this was during the Queens reign, the Queen who asked whilst knowing that she should not try to influence for Harry to have security

Pluvia · 02/05/2025 22:11

I have no interest in the royal family, and no strong opinions on any of them, but I heard Harry's interview while stuck in a traffic jam on the way home this evening and it incensed me. So manipulative and passive aggressive.

Of course no one in the RF, including his father, can possibly allow him back into the circle. Anything they say will be used against them for gain at some point in the future. A joke he doesn't get, a Christmas gift for his kids that he feels is somehow less than gifts given to his brother's children, a smile granted to Kate but not to Meghan... He is the kind of person who one would have to tiptoe on eggshells around, in case of setting him off like a grenade.

jan2310 · 02/05/2025 22:11

Disgusted. Cheeky, arrogant fucker. He should be ashamed.

wrinklyoldarms · 02/05/2025 22:12

I genuinely don't understand him.

Watching it now on BBC.

Why can't he come here with his family? He is getting security protection. He can also pay for his own.

How can he say he is still serving his country when he's no longer carrying out royal duties?

How can he compare former PMs etc and their security and his simply because in his opinion he has 'served' his country.

Is this all coming from what happened to Diana and how he blames the papparazzi for the accident and her death?

wrinklyoldarms · 02/05/2025 22:14

I think the best response to this would be not to give him air time. He thrives on it.

IBelieveinSomething · 02/05/2025 22:15

i had a lot of sympathy for Diana back in the day. I remember at that time having conversation about dodi al fayed. I remember saying she needs that because he is rich and can provide security. Obviously i was wrong about that. But anyone inside the royal family is relatively safe. Once outside it is a bear fight. As we know for diana. Open to anything in the world. Harry has made it worse for himself and family and needs to accept that. But i sympathise for him. For the small boy who lost his mother and for the actual disregard for any sort of human feeling by our ‘king’.

?

not sure what you mean

EsmaCannonball · 02/05/2025 22:15

Oh dear, the statement is even more batshit than the interview. He genuinely thinks that 'the establishment' is out to get him. Skunk-induced paranoia?

Are you disputing Harry had a dysfunctional upbringing

You have no idea about the KIng.
He's done masses for Harry over the years. He tried really hard when H was off the rails with drink, drugs, smoking.
