Page 39 | 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 chooses to live in a country with high levels of personal gun ownership. He chooses to go on quasi royal tours of Nigeria and Colombia. Yet getting a limousine from Heathrow to Westminster Abbey and back again is too risky without outriders and men with guns?

More self inflicted PR damage.

He gets security but it's asseses each time - as it is for other royals - 28 days notice for travel here really doesn't seem a bad deal to me.

I'm a UK tax payer - thereis plenty of more urgent areas that could use our tax than an entitled royal with delusion of more impotance than he ever had.

I think he make it hard to reconcile with his family - if they do anything they say or do will end up in media and will likely be twisted to make Harry look better. Either he's to stupid to realise this or really doesn't care if he does but really wants to be seen to want it trying to pitch them as mean oness for not complying - it assumes his wider audience is too dim to see though the ploy.

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.

She will not reconcile with her father because she is a toxic and greedy woman who only fraternises with the famous and the wealthy. There is undoubtedly some money in a deathbed reconciliation with Pa Markles but it involves humiliation on Meghan's part and she is not up for it. Also Pa Markles may go off script and the risk of humiliation is compounded.

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

This is exactly the emotional blackmail that Harry is throwing around. He’s hoping that people fall for it, and as we can see, people are.

This is not an issue about how much Harry’s family cares about him and his safety (and just to note: none of us have any idea what their feelings are). It’s an issue about the boundaries between a constitutional monarchy and the government, and then around how that government makes decisions around how it allocates the (very scarce resource) of round the clock armed security.

Within that dispute, we do actually know some details about Harry’s family’s attitude. They offered to pay for the security - like Harry later, they were told that was impossible. His family’s position was that they would support “the Sussexes in making the case for effective support from Her Majesty’s Government and Canadian and other host Governments, whilst noting that these are independent processes and decisions for those Governments”. They also explicitly offered Meghan and Harry a one year trial period, so they could return to the fold (and the security) if they wished.

Harry and Meghan had it made perfectly clear to them in January 2020 by the Cabinet Secretary, not the Palace, that if they moved to Canada and ceased royal duties, not only that their security could be removed, it was highly likely it would be. They chose to move nonetheless, knowing that.

Harry has now wasted a lot of money and time trying to get the government’s decision overturned. And he failed - they were lawfully entitled to make the decisions they did.

Even if Harry had remained in the UK, his security would have been downgraded in due course - as has happened to everyone else in his family not in the direct line of succession.

These are the facts. Throwing around emotional claptrap doesn’t change them.

The other facts that everyone seems to have forgotten is that H&M have come to the UK with their children for the Jubilee. H&M were very prominent and public on the steps of St Pauls - where was this huge risk to their lives then - or did they weigh it up against the $$$$$. benefits of being seen at this remarkable global event?

Also they issued photosof their children in the UK at the time - was that not a security risk in H&M eyes?

Then a few months later MM rocks up to speak at a public event (One Young World?) in London - where was the huge risk then - or again was it seen through the lens of $$$$$?

Its drivel that H&M cant come to the UK with their children to visit family and friends because of th risk to their lives - because they have done so already.

H&M want IPP status so that they dont have to pay for security. Its always about the $$$$$ with these two - always will be. That is what half in half out was about - more cash.

It makes sense to about 80% of the population but there is that 20% ...

Members of the actual Royal Household have came out and admitted that they are all aware of the rapid decline of the RF' s popularity - see one of the latest Anne's interview, so no, it not something coming from " H&M Stan's on Mumsnet".

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).

He and Meghan stopped being working royals after the Sandringham Summit . The late Queen told them if they changed their minds within a year they could return .

Bad news for Harry then. He's very royal indeed, relies on being royal and it's the source of his income. He's perpetuating it for his children as well.

KatherineParr · 03/05/2025 11:32

Some posts are just anti-monarchists using Harry as a stick to beat the Royal Family with, regardless of whether the story is logical. I think Harry is a really good example of the problems with monarchy, it's just we're not asking the right questions.

Just in case you missed it the first time. William and Catherine are very popular. Nothing Harry does is going to change that any time soon 😉

If the BRF is in decline, it is even worse news for the Harkles who carry on leeching off of the BRF connection.

That is a bold faced lie. No actual members from any royal household have come out and admitted that. And it's also not true.

Nope, you are wrong. They had Scotland Yard protection officers accompany them to Canada. That protection was only withdrawn after they officially ceased to be full-time working Royals and, for a time, before they moved to the US, Canadian tax payers funded additional security.

At the time it was reported the Met officers were getting fed up because instead of being able to do their jobs and remain on high alert at all times to protect the couple and Archie, they were being ordered to do grocery shopping and pick up takeaways.

There are many private security companies in the UK that will have armed protection. Not sure why you think it's not allowed.

Former SAS etc work for these companies and he could access them.

I disagree

Are Close Protection Operatives Armed in the UK?

Find out whether or not bodyguards are allowed to carry guns in the UK from a leading close protection company.
