Harry's new interview

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.

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.

Agree completely. She had an extraordinary amount of charisma too .

The Royal Household sits on RAVEC. Prince Harry did not know this before 2020.

Given that RAVEC is concerned with royal security arrangements, it makes perfect sense to have a member of the Royal Household on the committee. That doesn't mean they make operational decisions regarding security, even if Harry is too dim to understand that.

Well according to that Lady C. The RF got advice how to deal with them and told to grey rock them. They clearly have taken this advice. Harry needs the money of his Father (which he cut off and you’ve all seen how much Meghan spent on clothes more than any member of the royal family in the whole of Europe). Meghan will be missing the status of having the connection and she’s on the wind up using HRH.

My conclusion he’s got learning difficulties and been very easy to manipulate by Meghan. Meghan has a personality disorder and the Royal Family if they’ve got any sense will continue to grey rock them although I suspect they’ll be upping the abuse towards his Father and William if they don’t comply.

I’ve got a narcissist brother he’s been out of my life 10years I have absolutely no desire to say life is short and have him back. I think life is too short to deal with him.

Meghan caused a great deal of upset and stress to the family and Harry allowed it. He’s could make them ill I think William will have the sense to keep them at bay.

I haven't watched the full interview, but this is a normal thing to say about an elderly parent.

To the BBC?

Gymnopedie · 02/05/2025 22:32

The comment about how long his father has left to me has echoes of when he came to the UK and insisted on seeing the Queen to 'make sure she has the right people round her'. Like he's the most important one and they should be grateful to him for deigning to give them his presence and wisdom.

I would have a lot more time for Harry and Megan if they dropped the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and lived as Harry and Megan Windsor. And if they genuinely wanted to avoid public scrutiny rather than their present stance of yes they want it all as long it's on their terms.

But this interview is evidence, as if it were needed, that Harry still doesn't get it. Not in the slightest.

Horticula · 02/05/2025 22:33

I wonder why the BBC interviewer didn't ask Harry why he didn't think that the RAVEC approved security he gets currently, where he just has to give a month's notice of coming to Britain, isn't good enough for him and his wife and children to come safely to this country.

Ooh I’d be happy to listen to any interview Harry wants to give if he times them for any day Farage makes a speech.

Meghan is salivating for the next enormous wodge of inherited cash, impatiently waiting for KC to snuff it so she can get her greedy mitts on more millions. She can't divorce H until he's reached his full monetary potential.

But doesn't the Sovereign's wealth all go to the next Sovereign?
I suppose KC could have set up a Trust fund for Harry and the children, but he may have ring-fenced it from spouses 😂

Harry said he wants Keir Starmer to intervene in his security issues. So he is dragging the PM into his drama too. What a self centred, entitled arse Harry is.

I would like the prime minister to intervene on my parents claim in the Post Office shortfall scheme. Which basically has totally stalled as the PO needs archives and apparently they have asked the govt but nothing has materialised. My local MP said it’s unacceptable. We have literally been told by the PO there is nothing more they can do.

My dad is paralysed on the left side and don’t live in a Monteceito mega mansion.

Harry’s entitlement makes me sick.

You think he’s intelligent?
You think Meghan is empathetic?

That’s fine I just see with my own eyes how it looks to me. An opinion.

"He won't speak to me because of the security stuff".

Fuck me. How can you be so unaware. They are not speaking to you Hazza because you slated the entire family in an Oprah interview, in a Netflix documentary, and in your fecking book.

Dim and entitled. California are welcome to him.

Exactly!

It really is not a shocking thing to say about an elderly man. The context is that Charles isn't talking to him, and that Harry wants to make amends because life is short.
I can't envisage any situation where I wouldn't talk to my children tbh, even if I didn't approve of the way they live or of their spouse. It must be absolutely awful for Harry that his father won't speak to him, but seems to have forgiven the horrific transgressions of his brother, Andrew.

Your remarks have me snorting! Of course anyone who is 76 is going to die sooner rather than later. Here, though, there is a unique context: KCIII is head of state of a troubled nation, in the early years of his reign, and adopting a 'be brave and soldier on' approach to his illness. Harry didn't need to say what he said. Already commentators are speculating that Charles may be illegal than we are being told and may leave us sooner rather than later.

There is no evidence that Charles has forgiven Andrew. He has no public role and is resisting Charles' entreaties to leave his huge, poorly maintained mansion.

CAJIE · 02/05/2025 22:44

they all need to go and give their money to the poor , the homeless, us and their palaces too.Let them go.They are a farce and nasty with it,Harry is not well.but also a greedy little shit.Not entirely his fault.

I don't understand what it is about the UK that makes him feel so unsafe? He has never quantified it. And also to (voluntarily) travel to Nigeria, Colombia and Ukraine, all of which are more dangerous places than the UK, but apparently that's fine. Bizarre.

The current RAVEC arrangements appear to be working though, as he looks alive and kicking to me!

It’s not about being unsafe , it’s about having the same level of security as William .

He makes very valid points.
Why is the royal household influencing what should be a seperate committee? Why is it that private citizens get the protections and reviews but he doesn't?
Objectively he is not under less threat than say liz truss who woukd have the higher level of protection given her short stint in office so Why not someone who is very clearly and actively hated to such a high level and at very real risk from harm( just look at this thread for proof of that).
This is power politics very clearly in play and this committee should not be subjected to that , should be independent and partial with some guidelines to follow at the very least!

Ex PMs and some other politicians aren't just being protected because of things they might have done within their time in office, it's also because of things they know, national security briefings, security procedures, terrorist risks and known movements within the UK. Their safety assessment is also part of the safety assessment to national security.

Private citizens who get RAVEC security often also have some element to their situation which could put members of the public in danger. For example Salman Rushdie who at the height of intensity around the Fatwa was a target for bombings and setting bookstores on fire. His security needs impacted on the public security needs because his presence anywhere could lead to outbreaks of violence on a large scale.

Harry's death would be a personal tragedy and awful for all who love him but it isn't significant for the government or the safety of the UK. A kidnapping could destabilise the monarchy but because we have a constitutional monarchy our head of state can't influence the government in the same way as for example the American president being influenced by terrorists if one of his children was kidnapped.

Neither can you. If I should proof read so should you before being rude and not resulting to personal insults.

We get it you like Harry and Meghan and believe they’re kind and wonderful people fine you’re perfectly entitled to your opinion. He did get lots and lots of help and got poor A level grades and his Art teacher said she did his work at Eton. If you still believe he’s smart you’re entitled to that opinion.

Also, no former PM currently lives abroad full time, so it's a stupid comparison on a number of different levels.

Harry really is dim.

Like H&F? No, republican by view
I am noting the hypocrisy,the ire and fury to H&F whilst Andrew who associated with convicted abuser and his Mum paid a civil settlement to a trafficked woman. That gets no ire,no speculative diagnosis….just radio silence

Probably because it's completely off topic and people are wise to obvious derail attempts on this forum.

IndigoViolent · 02/05/2025 22:57

He is coming across as a deranged attention seeker. Announcing he “forgives” his family 🙄🙄 You very publicly reject your heritage, tear your family to bits in interviews and a “tell all” book, yet still want them to pamper you and pay for your security - without having to do a scrap of the work - and you think YOU’RE the one with forgiving to do? What a complete arsewipe.

Royal family are no this committee and influence it. You prove otherwise.

Easily. The first court went through all the evidence and held that the fact that members of the royal household sat on Ravec did not mean they were not acting as an impartial committee. That finding stands.
