Harry's new interview 2

[Viviennemary]

I just thought I would start second thread since I noticed the first one is full. It has certainly dominated media reporting. I saw a snippet on Sky news earlier. A document from Harry saying its a dereliction of duty to stop his security. Erm who just whizzed off to the USA and left all the duties behind. I havent watched the whole interview. I wonder if he'll appeal again.

Because he and his wife believed their own hype and wanted to monetise their Royal titles while doing the least amount of work possible?

Because both him and Meghan ( to a lesser extent) were under the dubious impression that people would just pay them for who they were!!!
after-all as far as Harry is concerned thats pretty much what he experienced for most of his life!

Because Thomas Markle can't give them money or anything else they want to get their sticky greedy mits all over

I don't think he can afford to appeal. He's now liable for the Govt's costs as well as his own – conservative estimate is the bills are currently £1.5m combined. He can only appeal to the Supreme Court if he can prove there's public interest in the outcome of the case, but really the only person it affects is him so it's unlikely SC would agree to hear it.

Because given the choice of reconciliation with a literal king of the U.K. with lots of money and global recognition and an overweight less than glamorous retired lighting specialist , which do you think would be more beneficial?

Vast difference between selling your own story and selling someone else’s story.

As Mrs Finkelstein said, we don’t have to guess the reason. Harry and Meghan told us themselves. They wanted to earn a private income, something which the arrangements as they stood at the time prohibited them from doing. The first draft of the Sussex Royal manifesto setting out their “progressive new role” made that very, very clear.

Harry sold other people's stories in Spare .

Also, Thomas Markle’s fall from grace followed him setting up a photographer to show him making preparations to travel to the UK for his daughter’s wedding. Indisputably that was his own story.

Just caught up with the other thread, loved all the handwringing and virtue signalling of posters berating King Charles for not talking his Harry, Nothing my child did would ever stop me having a relationship with them probably the same posters who berated the Queen for having a relationship with her son despite what he allegedly did, funny how it only works one way, Harry’s way from certain posters.

Anyway once all the media fuss has died down and Harry’s letter to Yvette Cooper has got lost in the post what’s he going to do next? Woe is me part 2? Spare the musical?

Who's story other than his own did Thomas Markle sell?

Your 'own' story is never completely your own though, is it? Unless perhaps you live as a hermit in the desert.

Harry blatantly infringed on the privacy of his family members through his various interviews, books and 'documentaries'.

Faster than Meghan Markle's home made jam anyway.

Have only been catching up with all this today. Harry seems really deluded about the apparent injustice of this decision, what with calling on the Home Secretary to examine it. He is hardly a postmaster facing ruin and disgrace. Public support ebbs away when it becomes clear that a very rich man is expecting to use public money to prop up his finances instead of his own.

It also raises several contradictions: Meghan's story about their new 'honeymoon period' seems at odds with Harry's obvious bitterness and discontent. He might also want to work out whether his story is that his father has interfered too much with the decision, or has not interfered enough, and stick with one of those consistently. Oh, and GET A JOB. The risible life coaching thing doesn't count. Hard work would do him a power of good.

I think and this is obviously just my opinion, that Meghan is in a world of her own , she is taking no interest in the court case because it doesn't affect her, she has no intention of setting foot in the UK and her peddling the honeymoon rubbish is all part of her fantasy of living the perfect life with a thriving business.

To be fair the "honeymoon period" was about as accurate as the claim they had previously been in "the trenches". But whatever sells jam, I mean spread, ...

That could well be why many have said that overblown comments about such things are unlikely to reflect the truth - and that was before we knew he'd lost his case and saw the interview

Not being there none of us can actually know the state of their marriage, but it wouldn't be the first lie she'd told

The thing about honeymoon periods is that they are just that, an interlude before the real stuff lands. I think she’s recalibrating.

She makes up the past to fit in with her present agenda. And if that changes so does the past IMHO. You only need to look at the relationship with her father.

Oh my god I’m on the other thread in AIBU the level of utter ignorance is maddening.

Especially that poor stable hand in the field, that was juvenile and mean but not as mean as his delight in cruelly mocking the school matron I think it was, uncalled for and not germane to the school chapter. That was awful, that poor woman and her family hearing that read out and discussed on the news.

I wonder if Meghan isn’t rubbing her hands together in glee because effectively she’s tied Harry to California- he’s said he won’t take his children to UK as it isn’t safe, she certainly won’t come with them because he’s said her life is in danger and ergo he’s stuck.
He can’t come alone unless he gives RAVEC 28 days notice (perfectly reasonable to everyone apart from Harry, of course)
I think he’s shot himself in the foot being such a twerp 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mocking that poor lady from his school was vile. I work in education and I know the vast majority of staff are absolutely devoted to the best welfare of their pupils so I just find H’s description of her reprehensible.

Can someone please remind me why H and M found it impossible to stay in the UK?
