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.

That can easily be changed if necessary.

When Charles became the heir the automatic regent should have been Princess Margaret and it was changed to Philip.

If George is still a child when William takes the throne I'd put money on them quickly drafting a regency act naming Edward as his regent as the next in line who is a working royal.

That would be very sensible. But blimey, imagine Harry’s reaction.

It really is not a shocking thing to say about an elderly man. The context is that Charles isn't talking to him, and that Harry wants to make amends because life is short.
I can't envisage any situation where I wouldn't talk to my children tbh, even if I didn't approve of the way they live or of their spouse. It must be absolutely awful for Harry that his father won't speak to him, but seems to have forgiven the horrific transgressions of his brother, Andrew.

Maybe Charles is waiting for an apology to his wife for the things Harry has said about her? Loyalty to a partner is also important.

Harry said he wants Keir Starmer to intervene in his security issues. So he is dragging the PM into his drama too. What a self centred, entitled arse Harry is.

As if the literal prime minister has nothing better to do than pander to Harry's tantrum. God he's self-absorbed.

Tbf I think Harry made three reasonable points in his interview:

-when he says it’s strange that his security status fell overnight from one hundred to zero when they decided to leave! Surely some of the security threats relate to the fact that he is the son of the king and are nothing to do with his duties?

-when he said that RAVEC’s first step in the process was always coming to the palace to ask the RF what their requirements were?
People always seem to ignore the massive soft power and influence that the royal household has when they state this is an objective process.

-it’s apparent that you get a higher level of protection when the RF invites you to visit, but if you come for any other reason, you don’t. And that suggests to me, that the decision is not wholly based on risk alone.

Goodness, MN security experts…move over RAVEC.

MN posters can complete the security risk assessments.

Feelingmuchbetter · 02/05/2025 18:53

If he truly did want reconciliation he wouldn’t be doing another interview!

But.. he does have security fully paid for in the UK. It’s just not arranged exactly how he’d like it. He’s never come back to the UK and been without security.

Anjo2011 · 02/05/2025 18:54

He’s a whinging attention seeker. No one cares that he can’t come to the UK.

MrsPlantagenet · 02/05/2025 18:55

Hardly a shocking thing to say about an elderly man who has cancer.

I feel sorry for Harry. Charles must be a stubborn arse and William is worse, I reckon.

SpottedDonkey · 02/05/2025 18:55

Father, you are old and ill but if you ever want to see me and my children again then this security issue is the one and only thing preventing it.'

Exactly this. He is weaponising his children to get what he wants from his father. Telling a sick old man that unless he caves in, he will never see his grandchildren again. That’s appallingly selfish behaviour, even for someone as nasty and embittered as Harry.

And we all know who is really to blame for poisoning his mind and tearing his family apart. If I said what I really thought about Meghan I would be permanently banned from MN, so 🤐

Maybe you’d be wary of talking to your kids if what you said was published in a book, serialised in the media and discussed on Oprah.

From what I heard in the interview, Harry seemed to be blaming the security arrangements for not speaking to Charles. I didn’t quite get that. Is it because they can’t give him a secure email/phone connection or something?

eternalopt · 02/05/2025 18:56

As a lawyer who's read the judgment and followed the case, i'm fairly sure he would have ignored advice in saying what he's said. He clearly doesn't understand his own case and is delusional

Is it still treason to speculate on the death of the Monarch? You could lose your head in the days of Henry VIII for saying less.

I remember seeing an excerpt of the Ginger Whingers book and he said he was the most popular Royal..,,erm no pal. The Queen was always the favourite. I can think of at least 5 others I prefer. Anne, William, Zara, Wee Charlotte….

He’s such a complete tool honestly. That’s her influence making him think he’s the favourite but in the next breath saying he’s just the spare. Which is it harry??

lightnesspixie · 02/05/2025 18:58

I see 💯 irony in him pleading for a reconciliation with his family that then falls on deaf ears. We’ve been here before. It’s giving Thomas Markle. What goes around comes around.

Harry is using His Majesty's Courts to sue a department of His Majesty's Government.

In the circumstances, I think it's pretty obvious why His Majesty might be wary of speaking to his highly indiscreet son.

SnoozingFox · 02/05/2025 18:02

"He won't speak to me because of the security stuff".

Fuck me. How can you be so unaware. They are not speaking to you Hazza because you slated the entire family in an Oprah interview, in a Netflix documentary, and in your fecking book.

Dim and entitled. California are welcome to him.

You got it right @SnoozingFox

Superhansrantowindsor · 02/05/2025 18:58

Quite frankly I don’t believe a word he says. I also think he isn’t that bright.

Agree. Everytime the press that they wanted to escape don’t talk about them enough they pop back up with their seedy interviews. Wish they’d both just do one

Helloworlditsmeagain · 02/05/2025 18:59

We don't have the money to protect him and his family when he decides to grace us with his presence. I don't think the King would have anything happen to him.

Charlize43 · 02/05/2025 18:59

Does anyone remember when Harry and Meghan left the UK saying they wanted privacy?

😂

BoldBlueZebra · 02/05/2025 19:00

FFS Harry lad, you don’t quit the job but still get to pop in and use the printer.

Feelingmuchbetter · 02/05/2025 19:00

It was text book emotional blackmail.

‘Life is so short’translation: Engage with my demands or else

‘I don’t know how much longer my father has’ Translation: I can’t believe he is dying and he is still not caving to my demands.

’in what world my children and wife will come to the U.K.’ Translation: I am going to blame this security issue, because Meghan refuses to come to the U.K. I know I will have security if we were to visit, but I am going to blame my family anyway.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 02/05/2025 19:00

Harry is just shitting it because he knows that when William is King he’s going to be officially shut out of the family.

I love how upset he is getting about this. I’m envisioning Waaah Part 2 🤣

Firstly, we have no way of knowing if Harry’s summary of the position is remotely accurate.

Secondly, we do know that for most royal family members, they only get security when they are undertaking royal engagements (eg Anne, Edward and Sophie - despite Anne and Edward also being children of the sovereign and Anne haveing in the past been though an attempted kidnapping attempt during which people were shot). At the time this happned, Harry was the monarch’s grandchild not child, and moreover already out of the direct line of succession.

So no, I don't find that strange, because it accords with what we know is the case for others who were then in exactly his position now,

CoraPirbright · 02/05/2025 19:00

Dear god first that utterly mortifying speech complaining that he had to stump up for tables at a charity event honouring emergency workers ….and now this. It just beggars belief that he can’t see how bad this all looks.
