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.

Because they'd get it anyway for any Royal-related visit, I've alway thought the crux of his case implied that they want to come to the UK to NOT see the family. Given they need to earn independently now but need their Royal connection still, I suspect that, privately, Harry is being driven by a need to return to the UK to maintain and further the Sussex brand with business opportunities and they can't do that with their current set-up. He spouts about 'history repeating' and 'the establishment cover-up' because he can't say 'we want to come over to broker Meg's jams getting stocked in Fortnum & Mason'.

I'm glad King Charles is holding firm about keeping his distance. The Queen might not have been the best hands-on mother but she did prepare her son to be King and has instilled in him the same determination to protect the constitution. Harry knows that and has always known that and his utter lack of respect for his father's position, evidenced again in this interview, is appalling.

Harry must be desperate though: he knows when Charles is dead and William is King, it's game over. He HAS to reconcile before that happens and he's cast out for good. But I doubt William will even invite him to his coronation.

the wife always gets the blame,
posh,
yoko ono
and megan

They can visit if adequate notice is given. It's Harry wanting his own way as usual. And if he doesn't get it he gives an interview listing his grievances.

Will anyone believe anything he writes ?

Actually I think the only way there would be a reconciliation is if Harry signed a confidentiality agreement with his family, with severe consequences if he broke it. I expect H would want a sweetener, so Charles would have to give him many millions of pounds a year.

But who would want a relationship with a son who you do not trust.

How is no longer using tax payers money and the scare resource of the Met Special Protection to give security to someone who no longer resides in the UK, and who has decided to give up what is effectively a job and seek to earn money elsewhere “teaching them a lesson”? What utter shite

I would always want a relationship with my kids, even if I felt I couldn't trust them.

Im saying he’s an idiot who didn’t listen to advice. If the majority of the family don’t like someone they can’t all be wrong

And Harry knows when William becomes King then he becomes more irrelevant in the public eye. The public will focus on the next generation. He has no relationship with his niece and nephews.

'His new approach hasn't won him any fans (!) but I do hope it might in some way bring him some genuine inner peace'

He is a man full of bitterness and resentment, sadly he will never find genuine inner peace until he develops some self awareness.

His latest gossipy interview continues to fuel his bile filled fire.

But what iif you knew that when you spoke to your child, everything you said would be on the front page of every newspaper the next day?

Far from a royalist but to quote the Thick Of It:

He's so dense, light bends around him.

It should be clear by now that the loveable, cheeky, down-to-Earth Harry presented to the public was a manufactured image to cover up an arrogant, vain, entitled and frankly, monumentally thick man child. He seems to have a lot in common with his deadbeat uncle.

In the current climate, a spoiled rich boy living in a multi million dollar mansion, moaning to the BBC about not getting full time taxpayer funded security, while we have people living in tents and choosing between heating and eating is mind bogglingly ignorant.

Like others, I do wonder how much of this is driven by their financial situation. Their lifestyle, the house, staff, private jets etc besides what appears to be near constant legal spats - they must have burned through a lot of Harry’s funds. Meghan certainly had her own money but not £50k Cartier necklace levels.

Like his uncle, somehow I see him living out his days in one of the lodges, a divorced, bitter failure of a man who still thinks it’s all everyone else’s fault.

He has reworking since he was five. The royal family and uk government have to he charged with historical child labour offences.😎 And can we add his mother posthumously. Perhaps her estate as codependent?

It is absolutely not an okay thing to say about someone who has cancer!

Once William is King there won’t be any parental guilt or parental expectations.

Good post. Interesting.

In my experience it's gently does it with a family rift. Let dust settle for a while and then have an occasion where both can be at same table, same room - not unlike W and H being at the unveiling of Diana's statue.

He falls for the journalists every ploy, or else he just loves the next spotlight.

I hope members of the RF, and I include Harry and Meghan in this, send private birthday and Christmas messages to one another, but I'm not sure that they do.

@BobbleHatsRule I'm loathe to get into this argument over what Catherine has/ had but you've got the wrong end of the stick.

She didn't have 'pre-cancer' - she had cancer. This was in her interview. 'Cancer was found'.

She had surgery and whatever was removed was found to have cancer in it.
She was given chemo to prevent something that was possibly Stage 1 or 2 (localised) becoming Stage 3 and 4 (spread to other organs.)

How you misunderstood is unclear.

If my life was at risk ever and my parents had any means or say in reducing that risk they would do it in a heartbeat. As would I for my children. No question and no matter of fall outs. Blows my mind that anyone could care so little about their own children. Charles is so privileged and clearly so bitter. What a family. Harry is pretty cringe and clearly lost but hardly surprising when you look at how his father treats him.

I think @LizzieSiddal hits the nail on the head there, there is no trust, and when trust is broken the relationship is broken. It’s only when trust can be renewed by both parties that a relationship can progress. Harry has proved that he cannot be trusted to keep confidential private conversations to himself therefore how can the King continue to converse with him, knowing that Harry just cannot understand that a private conversation is exactly that.

Harry needs to accept he’s made his bed in America and now he has to lie in it and work for a living by finding a useful occupation, not just thinking he can live off slagging off his family at every available opportunity, and then whining that nobody speaks to be him.

They are not royals any more they gave up that right when they left this country they are just sponging off the title, they are just an ordinary couple and it’s time they grew up and realised that.

Agree. It's really not okay, especially just one day after the King had revealed in a statement to cancer patients just how difficult he's found it living with his illness, saying it's been daunting and frightening. To have his son publicly speculate on when he might die must be so hurtful.

If my life was at risk every and my parents had any means or say in reducing that risk they would do it in a heartbeat.

And we know that they did use the means they had. But the decision is not theirs to make, and their offer to pay was rejected. And they had faced this before in 2011 when other family members had their security removed or downgraded.

It will be in the fiction department.

Liz Jones... very true - ignore this at your peril.

I think this extraordinary, history-making interview is up there with the radio broadcast by Edward, renouncing the throne for Wallis Simpson. But, this time, Harry is clearly declaring his undying love for the Crown.
I believe that his wife Meghan has, with her Netflix show, her peddling of wares, her podcasts talking about her 'busyness' as a ‘Mom’, suddenly thrown his life into sharp relief.

It’s all too shallow, too sunny for him, standing on the sidelines like a waiter, cooing over a brunch party. He wants his life to really matter, as his mother’s did.
You can see the regret etched into his features, and the sorrow. If Charles and William do not reach out to him after this, then they will seem petty and vindictive. And, I believe, the British public won’t look kindly upon them.

I feel for Harry, I really do. His attempt in court to reinstate his official security in the UK, even pay for it himself, was an olive branch. But now I feel he is done fighting. He looks broken.
If the late Queen were still alive, she would be the bigger person and embrace him, her grandson. He is blood, he is family. Charles and William: reconcile with Harry, or I fear the British people will turn against you.

He’ll give off Filch from Harry Potter vibes. Shuffling hunch backed and straggly haired (what’s left of it) sweeping leaves from his front path, muttering to himself about how badly done by he’s been. Meanwhile Meghan will be on marriage number five, having finally bagged her billionaire and loving life.

Send in the clowns.

They already did
