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.

I see Harry as a bitter, spiteful and manipulative little prick who’s better left across the pond with his even worse grifter of a wife. He just can’t resist bad-mouthing his family, he has zero sense of when to STFU.

Something similar crossed my mind when Harry said that it wasn’t worth fighting anymore (or similar). Who’s fighting? It Seems to me that the RF are carrying on, business as usual, barely giving him a second thought.

Lot of people believe Harry though after that interview my mother

I’ve been reliably informed that it’s a real love match. Personally I think it’s toxic but I don’t doubt what ive been told.

It did cross my mind that today's VE celebration and being on the balcony was exactly the sort of thing H would have liked as his half in half out. I have thought in the past that the first time it really hit him how much things had changed for him was when he wasn't allowed to have someone lay a wreath on the Cenotaph for him.

edit missed word

If the last 5 years hadn’t happened Yvette Cooper might have met Harry today. She was sitting behind the Queen / his stepmother and the rest of his family at the VE parade holding the hand of an elderly veteran while chatting to him. She’s a no nonsense woman serving her country as an MP and minister. I doubt she is giving Harry’s request a second thought other than how forcefully to tell him he is barking up the wrong tree. And that he’s barking.

I was thinking something similar, @BasiliskStare.

Photos shared on the RF Facebook page (with others, but these are the close-ups chosen).
To me, the second is sending a very strong message.

Best thing to do!

If was still in enough to have been on the balcony today he will have simultaneously refused to consider his children attending because they need to be private and been annoyed that his kids were not allowed to attend because the slimmed down monarchy Charles wants needs only the Wales kids to be seen as the future. He would want Archie to have equal status to George.

So you’re on the fence then? 😆

Slightly OT but I think the Wales' are doing a good job of subtly easing George into the reality that he has a different status to his siblings. If only Diana hadn't insisted on equal treatment Harty might have come to terms with his place in the family.

This current version of Harry is the type who could start in a fight alone in a room.

I don't think Meghan is able to charm people like she thinks, she has a distinctive unlikeableness that almost everyone seems to pick up on. She also comes across as fairly socially awkward. I think she knows how to pretend to be nice, but a pretence is hard to maintain and she inevitably slips up with most people in the end I imagine. She tries to charm people by strange lovebombing gestures which probably make them more uncomfortable than anything else. No doubt she can charm men who are attracted to her, but that's a sex appeal not charm.
I think Harry did know how to be charming, he's probably learnt some of it by osmosis. Not that he's naturally charming but the polished manners of the RF is felt to be charming by some. However I think his mental state is so bad these days that those polished manners are long gone. It's a raging, bitter man he comes across as now.

It's a question that can never be answered really.

What did the edging late 30s, once divorced, C-list cable TV actress (who's TV show role was cut & zero prospects on the horizon), who didn't own her own home or car see in the never married, but desperate to be so, British Royal Prince, grandson of the Queen, son of the future King, brother of the future King of the most famous Monarchy in The World, who lived rent free in the grounds of a literal Palace in the centre of London, with access to multiple other Royal Palaces?

Honestly, what about him was appealing?

I could perhaps believe he thinks it’s a love match. She’s a stone cold gold digger.

Often, when we see them together, it does look like a love match. Whatever it is, they seem to bring out the worst in each other.

The Daily Beast - until now symaphetic to H&M- referred to the interview as "unhinged".
The Washington Post reported on it, and the BTL comments were (at the time I read them) universally scathing of H.

I want to give her benefit of doubt but previous form suggests otherwise & some dishonesty ‘I didn’t google’ etc…

Re the ‘I didn’t google’, I’m pretty sure if I was a mature, intelligent woman as M undoubtedly is, I’d be doing all the background reading I could if I was going to sit next to a foreign prince. I think they’re two damaged people, she wanted what Harry represented, status and money. He fell for a beautiful, clever woman different from the girls he usually went after. Unfortunately she seems to be good at dropping friends and family and has encouraged him to do the same. They’re not good for each other emotionally. She stokes his bitterness and resentment.

Of course she googled him 🙄 I googled my handyman fgs .

Quite. But my source is sound so I believe it’s a love match, the toxicity of it is another story.

You beat me to it with that reply, MrsLF though I strongly suspect that a "fight" is precisely what he'd enjoy, and that not getting it is adding to his angst

Sooner or later you'd think he'd run out of steam - it would certainly be welcome to everyone else - but somehow he just keeps going

I wonder what his reception will be like in Vegas , he's supposed to be going tomorrow I think (Archie's birthday) .

I'm not sure why you think he's keen on fighting. Don't you remember how scared he was when William shouted at the Sandringham Summit? Or how hurt he was when his necklace was broken? Poor lamb.

The biggest state benefit scroungers of them all - the BBC, and Harry.
