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.

Harry doesn’t want security he wants status. He sees security as a proxy for status.

He’s using his kids as a weapon against the RF.

He thinks he was born to be special and hates that he lost his status by flouncing off from the UK for them to go and be rich somewhere else.

H&M have brought out the absolute worst in each other. They are tone deaf, entitled, manipulative bullies.

ChevronShoes · 03/05/2025 04:44

“This all comes from the same institutions that preyed upon my mother, that openly campaigned for the removal of our security, and that continue to incite hatred towards me, my wife and even our children, while at the same time protecting the very power that they should be holding accountable.”

Nothing to do with the decisions THEY made and hatred that they both spew about everyone else then?

The RF also know anything they give will never be good enough for him. He’ll always want more, he’ll always be the victim. What’s the point in giving him anything when he’s proved he will just use it against you.

Feelingmuchbetter · 03/05/2025 04:49

I agree the security is status. I imagine it’s become a practical concern now too, as neither Harry or Meghan have been remotely successful at launching their celebrity brand in the US nor are they making anywhere near enought to sustain their lifestyle.

Far from becoming the equivalent of the Obamas and Clooneys, they find themselves in social Siberia. Nothing has gone tio plan, and Harry looks deeply unhappy and homesick.

The sugar coated vacuous life imposed on him looks like it’s curdling to me.

OneWittyLemonCat · 03/05/2025 05:03

This is all about money. Our money.

Man with $100m+ in the bank wants hard working British taxpayers to pick up the tab for his security.

Feelingmuchbetter · 03/05/2025 05:08

I know it’s pretty disgusting isn’t it, he doesn’t even live here!

Profhilodisaster · 03/05/2025 05:22

He is estranged from his family due to his own actions, I would like him to list all the occasions when he wanted to bring Meghan and the kids back to the UK but couldn't due to lack of security.

Insanityisnotastrategy · 03/05/2025 05:23

He's appalling. And I used to defend him.

gloriousrhino · 03/05/2025 05:27

When will members of the RF learn that giving interviews, particularly to the BBC, is not a good idea.

Blackheart4 · 03/05/2025 05:33

He is a disgrace. He's allowed to run his mouth off about private business, while the real royalty hold a dignified silence.
In my opinion, most of the British tax payers don't want him back. The Americans can keep them!

BunnyLake · 03/05/2025 05:40

I can’t watch him. I saw a few seconds of that permanently miserable face and switched off. At least his weird wife is trying to do stuff, he’s a waste of space.

To be fair Harry isn’t a member of the royal family anymore as an institution.

DodgersJammyAndOtherwise · 03/05/2025 05:46

The whole interview was a total cringefest. Would you want these muppets close to you? No wonder KC doesn't take his calls. He has Prince Andrew levels of entitlement.

He was just running his mouth ungoverned and he's an embarrassment.

He has never been able to read a room. Saying that because we won't pay for millionaire him and his millionaire wife to have taxpayers security, he won't be bringing her over here totally without irony is hilarious.

If they wanted to come over, they could just do it lowkey, last minute and without any fuss, he just wants to do it on his terms and with a load of razmatazz is all.

I'm embarrassed for him.

FreeWasps · 03/05/2025 05:47

I think they needs to park anything that has happened before, stay out of the spotlight for a while, reflect and build bridges. A simple I’m sorry, I want things to change now, I want my family to know their grandparents, I regret what has happened would go down best with the public. Not defensive behaviour with continued animosity.

If private security arrangements can be made for other countries such as Columbia, can this happen when visiting the UK?

The public loved H and M on the day of the wedding. The public also think their children are adorable.

C’mon. Turn it around. When there has been a huge rift, I think there is also the opportunity to see the best in human behaviour - love, forgiveness, admission of fault, kindness and getting things back on track.

I have listened to the whole interview, if it can be called that rather than “ bitter man rants unchecked” , and I have to confess that a lot of my annoyance comes from my irritation at his annoying valley girl upward inflection at the end of every sentence, but I also didn’t like

his slightly threatening implication that he knows “names” , so, he has a little list, what is he going to do, ninja into their bedrooms like the SAS and cut all their throats.

his constant reiteration of certain facts , without security since 2020, lack of a security review, he had the highest risk factor, those really appeared to be his only arguments he could muster to support his case, and the more he repeated them the weaker they seemed since they were historic details but not relating to his present circumstances.

his other threats along the lines of “you’ll be sorry if something happens to me,” with the subtext of like it did with my mother. He seems to forget his mother refused all but the most basic security, then got into a car with a drunk driver and didn’t wear a seat belt.

I thought the most interesting part came when the mask slipped and he talked of “wanting” not needing, and for a second,until he realised what he had said, the privilege popped out in full sight and you realised that he is furious , not at the lack of security but at affront that someone would dare to take it
away from him.

There were clearly little snippets that he had been told to include -which he did again and again. - for example 35 years of public service(?!) , two tours of Afghanistan, Invictus games, charity work. I suppose they were supposed to make us admire him as a valued member of the human races, but only made me think hmmm, hardly a full cv for a fit healthy man approaching middle age.

Man child who has thrown his toys out of the pram, but has realised too late that he no longer has flunkies to pick them up and put them back into the pram.

His raging sense of entitlement is what comes through - he believes state paid security to be his birthright and soon will be making the "it'smahhumanright" argument. He also is pissed that the Ravec assessment has influenced other governments that have withdrawn tax payer paid security. Imagine this plonker thinking South Africa or Nigeria should also be sponsoring his security detail if he deigns to drop in. The royal family is responsible in that they raised a monster but they deserve praise for cutting him loose. The people who still think he and Meghan Markle are some sort of victims are deluded idiots but you will always have those.

The conspiracy mongering and outright disrespect for the judicial process (described as a stitch up) is one thing but claiming he did not know courtiers were represented on the Ravec committee until his American wife told him is such a self-own. Thicker than pig shit and/or a liar.

EllasNonny · 03/05/2025 06:02

If Harry had the life he thought he was getting, he wouldn't have looked back. He was happy to screw over his family to benefit financially telling the world lies his version of the truth.
As he left he said, "Call me Harry." Now we discover they've been using HRH all along and he stormed off Graham Norton when he wouldn't call him Prince Harry .
He knew Philip and The Queen were dying of cancer when he spouted some of his most venomous shite. That alone is unforgivable.
He's a delusional entitled prick. Very few people care apart from (his pack of bloodhounds), the odious SS. His hypocrisy there is breathtaking when you see his failure to condemn their online bullying, whilst supposedly campaigning about the dangers of social media.
All he has to do is give thirty day's notice for security. What he actually wants is to have the same level as heads of state, i.e. it personally won't cost him money here or abroad. He wants the perks of Royalty without the work
Then there's the crap he's spouting that the level offered means his family aren't safe in the UK but to my knowledge he's visited Colombia, Nigeria, Ukraine, etc. I know which I'd choose to visit.
He's as thick as mince and without the well-oiled palace machinery, we see who he really is. Harry (pre Megxit) was arguably the most popular member of the Royal family, but he was a figment of their imagination and his wife is no better.
If they had any talent or personality they would have been amongst the wealthiest A listers on the planet, not making shit jam spread and sleep inducing podcasts and shows. I wonder if he's concerned that his bank account runs to only the level most of us could ever dream of and not the billions MM promised him.

Mylovelygreendress · 03/05/2025 06:06

It will be interesting to see if Meghan says anything. I get the impression that it suits her very nicely not to set foot in the UK again unless it is to gather gossip to sell or the chance to upstage Catherine.

RipleyJones · 02/05/2025 19:33

Yes. When they got married she had only one family member there. Which was weird. He had all of his family there, loads of them.

At such an event today - he’d have no family there, maybe one.

Shocking how she’s isolated him from his family. With his help. If it was a man doing this to a woman it’d be more easily called domestic abuse.

I’ve said this several times. It’s emotional abuse clear and simple.

He is not a victim but a willing participant, these two toxic personalities drive each other on. It is ironic that he asks his father for a reconciliation but she shuts out her father. Then again, one is wealthy and the other not. The Harkles are deeply unpleasant hypocrites. Great that they are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things except to british tabloids and a certain female demographic online.

What a horrible post.

There is a small group of royalists who hate him with passion - normal people I suspect both feel sorry for him and think he is a nice bloke. A lot of Diana in him - passionate and can easily engage with people. It's the royal inside which is cold and passionless.

Where's the proof of a 100m ? And the royals are good at getting our money and squandering a 100million on the Coronation and 300+ to upgrade Buckingham Palace. If we are getting the microscope let's look at the whole damn lot of them.

SordidSplendour · 03/05/2025 06:30

I rode for this absolute tool so hard when he broke from the RF but jeez my sympathy has run dry!

Well he said he doesn't know cos he doesn't. If someone has his illness and at his age then of course people will wonder how long he has left. There have been comments of similar effect by posters on other threads here wondering how long he has left as King. But that's okay for other people say those things but not him 🤪

My nan had dementia family would wonder how long she would have left, my dad had it and he was not as old (in his 70s compared to her at 90) and we thought he would live longer, both passed away a yr after their diagnosis.

So again what's the issue? At some point we all wonder how long we or our loved ones will live

Edited

Do we wonder it on the BBC?

MadamePeriwinkle · 03/05/2025 06:36

Honestly I can't imagine how he thinks this is coming across or who is advising him.

He says he's sick of 'only coming home for court cases and funerals' but if he can manage that, presumably either without security or footing his own bill, then he can come for other reasons.

The whole 'I can't bring my family back safely' is BS. Again he could foot his own bill and if they popped back for a week at Balmoral over the summer, for instance, they'd benefit from the default security there anyway.

He is quite simply a petulant manchild, and one that is none too bright at that.

This. A known liar. Evident from his book.

It's as if he doesn't know he's doing it though. I suspect he has a sort of Hollywoodised version in his head that becomes 'his truth' and he then spouts that. Fine if he didn't get so pissy when his lies are pointed out to him though.

These types are dangerous to be around because reality is not something they are on terms with.

Did they not make hundreds of millions off Netflix and Spare?

I do agree that they live a very opulent lifestyle but assumed they could afford it.

i do find Meghan’s description of falling in love with her house hilarious. How convenient the place you felt most safe and tranquil was a Santa Barbara mansion.

“Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free”.

Lucky for them it wasn’t a Scunthorpe caravan that gave Meg the those warm fuzzy feelings 😂

The bullshit this couple comes up with…
