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 wants to prolong controversy. It's all for the headlines and what he can monetise.

I know I sound like a broken record but I have always maintained that this is about Harry wanting exactly what William has and Meghan egging him on as she considers herself superior to Catherine.,
Great posts @GiveMeSpanakopita 👏

I've just listened to it again and he didn't say that . The whole interview drips with disdain and resentment, he's so consumed with bitterness, he says he was made a private citizen by the RF , but it was his choice wasn't it?

Apologises, but he definitely said "yet" about something when pressed by interviewer to name.

Aspreviously stated - he will receive protection when in the UK - he just needs to give notice. It's all bonkers - at present the only RF members receiving full time security are the senior full time working royals - Charles, Camilla, William, Kate and their children - the others, including Anne, Edward and Sophie only have security when on royal duties. None of the cousins have security provided by the government- the whole thing is astounding and self serving. Also as a PP stated he's made the situation 100% worse by highlighting the security gaps he perceives.
He's off the charts a CF

One of the few good things about dull Keir Starmer is that he's a lawyer through and through, so if the SC has spoken, which it has, he won't touch Harry's bleating requests with a barge pole. After all, this is a man who needed the SC to tell him what a woman is, despite being married to one!

As for Yvette Cooper, Starmer won't want her wasting her time. Labour is struggling with the rise of Reform and if they want to stay in power they really, really need to get a grip on migration, particularly of the illegal kind. If they can crack that nut, then they'll really take the wind out of Reform's sails. As Home Sec Yvette Cooper is a busy woman - she doesn't have time for the whining requests of members of the RF who left the country of their own accord, despite knowing that doing so would remove their Met police security.

Harry is a spoilt, entitled brat who is reaping what he's sown. If he and Meghan had just worked with the RF quietly behind the scenes to facilitate a low-key and phased exit from royal life, rather than ambushing them with an American PR company written statement about 'collaborating with the Queen' and continuing the royal life, with all its trappings, from abroad, they wouldn't be in this mess. They have no one to blame but themselves for their own stupidity and recklessness in throwing away the trappings of royalty - including security.

The BBC interviewer didn’t need to challenge him IMO. She let him speak and he unraveled his own arguments on TV. Give him enough rope etc. She might also have suspected that if she did take him to task then he would mic drop and flounce out of the room.

Sorry , I've listened to a bit more and he says 'some people want history to repeat itself' , the interviewer asks if he knows the names of those people and he says he's not going to share at this point.

Yeah, he's basically doing exactly what he and Meghan did in the Oprah interview the racism thing. Except this time he's not accusing unnamed members of his family of racism, he's accusing them of wanting him, Meghan and their two DC to be murdered. TBH, I'm surprised that more media outlets haven't focused on that outrageous accusation.

I don’t think he could. He wasn’t clever enough to move up the ranks.

Good points. Like when Tom Bradby dared to challenge him about inconsistencies about alleged racism, he just got irritated and lied anyway.
Pointless.

I stand corrected, he said he knew the names of people who want history to repeat itself but won't share at this point.

Of course not. He's got to wait for the highest bidder, in the meantime, let all the speculation damage as many people as possible.
What a nasty man.

I agree with this.

BBC Radio 4's discussion however repeated his accusations without any critical analysis. That is a problem.

If find it very interesting that he gives an interview to the BBC. In which he seems to come across as a petulant spoilt man sad lonely and very unhappy maybe even desperate to come home who simply can’t understand why his dad won’t speak to him - uh Harry you called them all racist, wrote a book and gave interviews which purposely put them in a bad light etc etc

all while at the same time his wife on the other side of the Atlantic is telling us how happy she is.

That’s interesting. I’d so love to see him interviewed by a proper journalist who would challenge some of the rubbish he comes out with.

He would never face that kind of rigour.

I also agree. The interview was intended to be a ten minute reaction piece and that’s what the interviewer prepared for. She did actually start with some testing questions - eg Why should the tax payer meet the cost of his security? She wouldn’t have known she had time to drill down for specifics.

What she did was let him run his mouth off and dig his own hole. He can’t claim he was misrepresented or edited, he delivered his carefully planned speech without interference or interruption. I thought she did well in the circumstances.

Wes Streeting was asked just now by Trevor Phillips what he expected Yvette Cooper to do in response to the letter expected from H. WS was quite firm that it was an independent process and the government would leave it to Ravec. I would imagine he had anticipated and planned for this question so that is the official line of the government. I still can’t believe in the 21st century a member of the RF is trying to interfere in the decisions of government. QEII would be horrified.

Yes in some ways it’s like interviewing a suspect who can’t keep their mouth shut and think they are clever enough to have a good cover story. Let them speak uninterrupted, then challenge their inconsistency when they finish. Sadly she didn’t get to the second bit.

Good point. Harry's sense of entitlement is staggering.

Well QE11 did lobby in Harry’s favour by writing a letter of support for Harr ly to RAVEC, that evidence came out at one of the hearings, and he did get security just not the permanent armed security he expects
