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 wondered if this is why Harry was griping at the Aviation Award thing. In his mind, he sells the tables, he is the draw not the one stumping up the cash; he can then pocket a wodge of expenses. You're rich, Harry, don't be a skinflint!

Not realising that charities expect high net worth individuals to donate is yet another example of how dim Harry is.

He really seems unaware of how an awful lot of things work. As with the comment about wishing someone had told him he wouldn't win his court case. Either that or he really doesn't ever listen to anything he's told.

I think that’s exactly what happened

He will definitely have been told he might not win his court case!

KCs give litigation prospects in percentages, generally, and there is no such thing as a 100% case - 70% means you have a very good chance of winning, but there’s still the risk of an unexpected bad outcome…

I wonder what his lawyers thought about him saying that on the BBC. They might sue him!

That would be fun, especially if Harry represented himself. Harry would lose, because the lawyers will have at least one file note and correspondence with him confirming this advice. If they have seen the way the wind is blowing with him, they will also have noted that they don't think thrir advice will be followed. I don't think the Professional Liability insurer has much to worry about.

Oh I really hope they do - it’s a pretty serious accusation, that they didn’t advise him on possible / likely outcomes. Is he implying that they knew it would fail but kept it from him and encouraged him to keep going for 💰💰💰?

When I heard him say this, I took him to mean that the whole of the UK state has it in for him so would not allow him to win.

The African parks investigation has been concluded and recommendations given but the report has been made confidential

the report has been made confidential

I've no idea where and under what jurisdiction the investigation was carried out @Vespanest, but do you happen to know if this is usual?

The report was commissioned by African Parks, so although it claims to be independent African Parks can still direct the investigation on confidentiality. African parks has admitted that human right were breached.

Harry’s on the Board of African Parks, isn’t he? A trustee, with a statutory role and legal responsibilities.

How’s he going to wriggle out of this one? ‘No-one told me’ isn’t going to wash when he was sent emails specifically telling him, of which he has previously acknowledged the existence.

‘But I forwarded them to the Chair’, minus any proper intervention and immediate & effective safeguarding action, is piss-poor leadership and governance from the whole Board, including Harry.

Global thought leader, my arse. Human rights abuser, liar, elitist hunter, and conscience-free zone of a man, more like.

Response from Survival.

“Baka men and women have been beaten, tortured and raped in Odzala-Kokoua National Park by rangers who are managed and paid for by African Parks. The charity has known this for many years, but it was only after Survival complained to Prince Harry, and the ensuing global media story, that the charity finally commissioned this “independent investigation.”

“We still don’t know the details of what they found, because African Parks has refused to allow the findings to be made public. It has committed to more reports, more staff and more guidelines – but such approaches have not prevented horrific abuses and violations of international human rights law in the decade or more that African Parks has known of these atrocities, and there is no reason to believe they will do so now.

“The root of the problem – which the investigation did not address – is that African Parks continues to cling to a racist and colonial model of conservation which kicks out the Indigenous people whose land it is, while outsiders take control. As long as this is the case, the Baka will continue to face abuses and the destruction of their livelihoods. The Baka are the forest's best guardians: governments, foundations, and celebrity supporters like Prince Harry, should pull the plug on African Parks now, and stop their complicity in this crime.”

"a racist and colonial model".
Excellent points.

Ouch

Flkkkkkkkk.

Thanks for the clarification on that, Vespanest

It looks as if we'll never know the details, but can probably be confident that Harry will no longer want the connection - which is any case seems to have been "yesterday's interest"

Whatever happened to 'Show up, do good'?

I don't feel sorry for Harry but it's hard not to worry about him after watching the interview last Friday. Whether of his own making or not, failed court cases, human rights abuses, alienation from family, isolation in a foreign land, a coercive controlling partner, a Charity Commission investigation, and possible financial improprieties at another charity of which he is patron, is a lot for one person to be carrying.

Well Meghan seems to have pivoted her showing up and doing good to hostessing and sprinkling flowers over everything as a sign of love and friendship.

I think Harry's best option is to cut ties with everything he was involved with via the RF facilitating his presence there. None of it is working, because he never had a grounding in how any of it worked in the first place - that was all taken care of for him. He needs to just throw himself into Californian life and start up some new enterprises of his own and learn from scratch. Become a man! He's got the likes of Gavin Newsom and Oprah on his side, so there's no reason for him not to now just move on and accept where his future lies. And he needs to stop trading off royalty, because it just brings more trouble to his door. Doing things as plain Harry Windsor will bring him greater respect.

Well, that's the pipe-dream. He'll write another "tell all" book to make his moolah. This saga will go on and on and on....

I see there is an article in People letting us know that “as the U.K. celebrates VE Day this week, Prince Harry is sending his own special thanks to a fellow military veteran”.

I wonder who sent this story to People? The choices are realistically Harry, the Ghanaian birthday boy, or Invictus. Hmmm, it’s a tough one…

🙄 what a surprise 🙄

Interesting - I thought that H&M had hinted at a fake royal tour to Ghana?

Seems they couldnt be arsed to travel so just the Invictus Ambassadors went to see this incredible veteran but PH claimed the PR glory anyway....

"Private Joseph Hammond, a World War II veteran from Ghana, was honored by the Duke of Sussex ahead of his 100th birthday on Saturday. Hammond shared in a May 7 post on X that he met ambassadors from the Invictus Games, which Harry founded, and received a related gift."

Very low in the headlines, I wonder why?
