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.

Just watched it on 6pm news..

Am I missing something. Harry can surely afford private security when in UK, ie he should bloody well pay for it himself.

I also thought it was a real guilt trip, saying his father doesn't speak to him, and that he doesn't know how long KC has to live. As if his dad will now pick up the phone after Harry has been weeping and wailing on tv.

I would pick up the phone to my son in this circumstance, would you not, Harry seems so immature, confused and upset.

I don't think there's anything my kids could do that would make me cut them off.

i always think he sounds like James Corden

Harry is a buffoon.

His every public utterance makes that clearer.

The Royal Family did an amazing job with his PR when he was a young man, but as an adult, he cannot seem to manage his own life. Must be the drugs…. Oh and the Godawful grifter he married.

He needs to fuck off for good. No one cares about him or his surrogate born children. His father has graciously allowed them to remain in the line of succession at great cost to public opinion.
He is tone deaf to the real problems of the world.

Please don’t say this about surrogates and the children. There is no evidence for it at all. Just awful rumour and speculation.

With respect it's just silly (pointless) to compare the royal family, and it's unique dynamic, with an ordinary family.

Charles carries a massive responsibility, everyone who becomes head of state does, to protect the future of the monarchy.

Harry was once the most popular member of the royal family, now he's ahead of only his wife and Andrew in the race to the bottom - it's quite astonishing. He will blame everything and anything except his wife's influence. He wants the rule book on royal obligation ripped up and rewritten just for him, all of this is one big strop over being prevented from using his privilege outside of the royal family.
When you consider how he was in interviews from 10 or so years ago, to this latest interview, it's like two entirely different people.
I used to really like Harry, so it's quite sad to see him like this - his interviews are increasingly uncomfortable to watch.

I bet he's always been like this, but the media machine (the same one he moans about constantly) curated an image and gave him guidance growing up. There's been slithers of his odious and petulant personality slip through the net over the years. Meghan cops a lot of blame for how he is, but realistically the power imbalance when they met was wildly in his favour on almost every metric; I don't buy that she's this horrible witch who has ruined his life.

I totally agree and have said this before. Makes his message at the Cancer event much more hypocritical. I don't think anything that Harry has said is worth cutting him off for. This dragged out saga just destroys the institution they all long so much. Instead of a BP Charles should be picking the phone to call his hurting son.
Not sure if he has forgiven Andrew. I suspect Prince Abuser forces his way to family events like the Easter celebrations.

As cold fish go they are colder than a dead artic cod in a freezer and we "the people" should look up to these chinless wonders for what exactly ?

XxSideshowAuntSallyx · 03/05/2025 07:40

Does he not realise the reason the Taliban/Al Queda want his life is his boasting about how many he killed. Maybe he should have followed other armed forces personnel and not written a fucking book detailing how many of them he killed.

He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, and he married a manipulative woman who is using her thick as mince husband to her advantage. Old Harry would never have said half the stuff he did. But egged on by her, he's digging his hole even bigger. She'll move on eventually by which time he'll be completely ostracised from his family and the UK.

It's possible. I always found him convincing though, sincere in his words and actions (including his vulnerabilities).

LipglossAlly · 03/05/2025 07:41

I found nothing wrong with Henry' s statement regarding his father.

He is in his 70s/80s, his time on this earth is probably not long.

I can't see myself in Charle's position not trying to make contact with my flesh and blood, not going above and beyond to provide him and his innocent kids with adequate security, not trying to meet my grandchildren before the end comes( yes, he does have an input on the RAVEC's decision).

There is nothing, and I mean nothing in this world that my son could do or say to make me behave like this( the Queen would never).

You can try to justify it as much as you want, this is not a good look and will generate disgust and disdain from most people.

He has shown utter disdain for his family and written it all in a book . He has accused them of being racist, revealed personal details, he colludes with the SS who have made death threats to anyone who disagrees with them , he and Meghan have lied many times.
No parent distances themselves from their children for no reason and I can only imagine how sad all this has made KC feel .

I don’t entirely understand. I’ve just read that Harry has offered to pay for the UK security he wants himself, so it wouldn’t come out of taxpayers’ pockets. Is that not a good solution? And if not, please could someone more knowledgeable explain why?

If you read the first judgment, you will see that this offer to pay had been first made by the Roysl household (presumably coming directly from Queen Elizabeth and Charles) in January 2020 as soon as they realised that Harry relocating abroad and living as a private citizen would mean he no longer qualified for 24/7 police protection. The then chair of RAVEC and the then Cabinet Secretary both said that wouldn’t be possible.

Harry has never mentioned that by the way. He just says his family took away his security.

Harry's new interview
Bontonbonbon · 03/05/2025 07:44

It’s interesting to see the defensive line being drawn by H&M supporters on this and other threads. It seems the message has gone out to reverse this on to the RF and make quite barbed personal remarks about RF members to deflect from their hero.

But here’s the problem with that. Everything the Harry has said and done is recorded for people to see with their own eyes. He wrote tell all books, gave interviews, said specifically that his country has failed him.

The rest of the royals have kept their mouths shut and stayed focused on their jobs so literally all Harry and his supporters have is weak lies, fantasy and supposition.

When will people see past his apparently crusading veneer and actually assess the him as the spoilt prince he is. He is not anti-monarchy. He is anti-his family. He wants to be a prince and have the privileges but he has shown himself bitterly unable to do the main thing that a royal must do: put country above self and keep state secrets.

He is a liability. That is way no one in his family or the government want him back.

You are forming this opinion solely on the word of a man with a track record of distinct economy with the truth. Remember that, after all, the royal household offered to pay for Harry's security, and that must have come from Charles.

The minute Charles snuffs it Harry will be back like a shot.

Besides the point I know but when he does he'll be spinning the whole situation to his own advantage.

And also besides the point but BBC news turns into Hello magazine the minute Harry is mentioned.

I think William is not hurt/angry by him than Charles ?

Oh I think you are mistaken here with this sentiment. The UK has little appetite for spongers in the current climate. I think they like a firm stance as opposed to mollycoddling.

Bull absolutely bull. Cannot trust a word Harry says. He and his wife bring out the worst in each other. I’ve a similar family member and thank the lord their wife is sensible and talks sense to him now and again.

jan2310 · 03/05/2025 07:49

Harry said ‘it’s really sad I won’t be able to show my children my homeland’. Utter nonsense. He can visit the king any time and would have security. He can apply in advance for security for other visits as per the protocols. Childish, emotional blackmail.

NOTANUM · 03/05/2025 07:52

It will be interesting to see if Eugenie and Beatrice continue to be close confidantes after this latest debacle.
They are quick to turn up to support Uncle Charles and their status depends on them being part of the royal circle.
But I don’t know how they’re not worried about anything they say being twisted or reported back via Harry and the world’s media.

NautilusLionfish · 03/05/2025 07:53

Pikablue · 03/05/2025 07:08

I suspect it's more that they can't trust him, imagine spending time with someone or even having a quick phone call and spending every second wondering if they're recording this, if they're going to do an interview about it or write about it. Even if you say the most bland things it's not a nice way to have to be. Harry's made his bed, he's probably not used to having to stand by the consequences.

Bit he hasn't disclosed all their secrets in interviews. That's simply not true

IcedPurple · 03/05/2025 07:53

Comments like 'Oh I could never cut off contact with my son' aren't really relevant unless the person making them is a Head of State whose highly indiscreet and disloyal son is engaged in legal activity using courts which bear their name against a government which acts in their name.

All this security malarkey is just an excuse to not come to the UK , how can Harry face his family after everything he has said and written about them. I'd like him to list all the occasions where they wanted to come over but couldn't due to 'security'.

Because UK security sevices are not a private company at the beck and call of multi millionaires like Harry. They are for politicians, diplomats and the working royal family which Harry chose to step away from.

We only have Harry's word for it that his father hasn't tried to speak to him. It would be interesting to hear the side of the rest of the RF, but we never will.

He disclosed them in writing in Spare. That’s absolutely true.

Emotional blackmail isn’t a good look, Harry.
