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.

She was with Dodi for a matter of weeks, he cheated on a fiancee to try ensnare her for his father to get him one step closer to the royal family. They were essentially at the 'seeing each other' phase.
Although there was an emotional affair hangover with Camilla (also not good), the actual first person to sleep with another person outside of the marriage was Diana with her bodyguard.

How do we know he wasn’t physical with Camilla throughout & before? NB: the blonde on the royal train incident which apparently upset her greatly? If correct ofc.

@LipglossAlly

“His family not caring about whether him and his children live or die in the eventuality that they come to visit the UK tell me all I need to know about these family and about people that are defending this.“

That is a dreadful thing to say - perhaps you need to step away from the keyboard and calm down!

The fact is, he already receives high level security when he comes to the UK – he just has to give a month's notice of when he's coming. But that's not good enough for him – he wants us as British tax payers to fund high level security wherever he is and whenever he wants it, at the drop of a hat. He wants the Met's Protection Squad on speed-dial, in other words, and he's already spaffed millions of our money forcing the Govt to fight a legal action he was always never going to win.

NOT objecting to such a waste of public money is what's truly appalling.

What a spaffer! I like the word. That's why I'm using it. Gotta go. Not a child in the house washed and it's gone 11.

SuperTrooper14 · 03/05/2025 11:14

Do you think Meghan really would want to come over?

I can't imagine she wants to, but their Sussex brand relies on them maintaining their Royal link and Meghan's all about the moolah.

Not another H and M bashing thread. Don’t you people have something better to do?

Haven't you got something better to do than come to comment on a thread you're not interested in?

Wouldn’t it be something if the vicar at the King’s Sunday service chose the parable of the Prodigal Son? One can imagine Charles, as Head of the Church of England, glancing down the pew and gently reminding William about the Christian principles of forgiveness and grace.

“It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.”

Difference being that the prodigal son understood the depths of his own stupidity and didn't expect forgiveness (not that Harry thinks he's done anything that needs forgiveness, quite the opposite). The prodigal son didn't return and say "Father I forgive you for not giving me everything I want but I'm back so you can give it to me now".

It is not a matter of being happy or not. It is one thing to be estranged from part of your family ( he is still close to the Spencers' side of his family and has friends in the UK ), but not being able to bring your kids safely to your country is a totally different matter. He should be able to travel Safely to his country with his children whenever he chooses to.

and so he can. What are you not getting ?
He would not be wandering the streets with his kids whilst snipers took pot shots at them .
He can give notice they are coming and a risk assessment will be done by RAVEC. They will then.provide security at an appropriate level which is exactly what the other Royals get except those directly in the line of succession.
They seem to have managed to keep Anne Edward and the Yorks safe under this system so what is his issue ?
And really if people want to engage in this debate they need to grasp the actual facts rather than.rely on Harry's hysterical lies and half truths.
And the BBC are no.better and should have stated the facts clearly instead of fawning all over him and allowing him to.talk out of his arse.

ShrunkInTheWashAgain · 03/05/2025 11:18

Harry please stop, I feel for him because he's so damaged
but he just won't stop

Do you think Meghan really would want to come over? I can see that Harry might like to bring the children to see the U.K.
I am deliberately not talking about the security aspect here. I was thinking only about their feelings.

Given the rampant toxicity of the British press and the vicious witch hunts they’ve been a part of, particularly towards her, why would she want to engage with them?

That said, a brilliant move would be for her to forgive her father—it would send a powerful message and put the ball firmly in her court. Plus, the opportunities to monetize it, say through an Oprah interview or something similar, would be almost priceless. 6 part series on Forgiving Family.

Mmpip · 03/05/2025 11:18

He's doing the same to his family as Megan's family do to them...!!

IAmATorturedPoet · 03/05/2025 11:18

How many times does a poster have to be reminded that security has been and always will be provided in the U.K.

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s actually Harry on this thread 😂

LipglossAlly · 03/05/2025 11:21

I am very very calm. This is a dreadful thing to say, but is the truth.

Some of you forget that Harry's security was pulled the first time while they were in Canada in 2020 with Archie and were still working royals(do anybody remember the one year review? They officially stopped being working royals in 2021)

Now, why would you do that to such a high profile couple with an infant?

Actions speak louder than words.

For those living in the Royal cocoon, mark my words , they will soon fall into irrelevancy ( it is already happening).

That assumes that the BRF is totally in the right and Harry totally in the wrong when their is much blame on either. But "I blame the parents" is a good rule of thumb generally speaking.

Well, it'll be interesting when Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet grow up.

JSMill · 03/05/2025 11:22

@flapjackfairyI totally agree with you about the BBC. H is making some serious accusations about how our government is conducting itself and he needs to be challenging. I’m starting to see why so many people complain about the BBC news. I normally watch Sky anyway.

No, he has never had security "pulled". He was given security in Canada.

Oh yes the crowd control barriers in place for the crowds that don't come and carefully managed photo ops in schools and the like with an enthusiastic crowd already in place.

Why would a 'high profile couple with an infant' actively choose to live on another continent, with no job and no status, when they had been explicitly told that their security arrangements would change as a result of their own choices?

Their family's safety is their responsibility. Not Charles', not the British taxpayer's, not the Canadian government's. Choices have consequences.

William and Catherine are extremely popular. A prime minister or president would kill for their favourability rating. I don’t think they have anything to worry about, especially not Harry & Meghan stans chatting crap on Mumsnet 🤭

Harry's new interview
MayaKovskaya · 03/05/2025 11:25

The royalists on here are not those who have the temerity to challenge a royal Prince and accuse him of lying.
The royalists are those who believe everything he says because he is a Prince, because of his status. Even with obvious lies about security.

Woolftown · 03/05/2025 11:25

This from the CA judgment sums things up re the security.
“Sir Richard explains that “it made much more sense to assess the threat and risk issues” arising from the Claimant’s occasional visits to the United Kingdom “by reference to their particular context; rather than conduct [a risk analysis] for a principal who was no longer based in Great Britain and whose activities when he was present were not likely to be regular …”. … The Claimant does not explain why this conclusion was incorrect.”

Having lost his appeal, Harry is now saying his position should be comparable to former Prime Ministers (not other members of the Royal family who have reduced security). I suspect part of the security issue from the UK perspective is the desire to prevent a ‘half-in, half-out’ pattern of semi-Royalty by default. It is a hard adjustment. But Harry has a public platform and incredible access due to his status. He can do so much with that so I really think he should lay this one to rest. Taking up valuable government / civil service time is disproportionate. MPs are our elected representatives and their time should be treated with respect.

That doesn't assume anything. You gave the prodigal son as an example and this poster is pointing out that the analogy is incorrect. Your arguments are all over the place, just side stepping the issue by introducing a new angle whenever your points are refuted.

Yes, and who think that simply being 'born a prince' entitles you to lifelong police protection at taxpayer expense, even when that prince chooses to live on another continent to cash in on his royal status.

Or being mobbed by passers by after word spread in the local area about his visit 🤭
