"Prince Harry" : I didn't air any dirty laundry in public

[ThatAvidViewer]

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.”

I didn't air any dirty laundry in public - my conscience is clear, says Prince Harry during visit to Ukraine: Duke reveals he wants to spend more time in the UK in the next year as 'the focus really has to be on my dad' | Daily Mail Online

That’s a different argument to the one he’s making though. You can certainly debate how much people have a right to talk about their own lives, vs the right of others not to be talked about. I imagine everyone who has ever written an autobiography has had to decide where to draw that line (and everyone will have different opinions).

But he hasn’t used that defence (which I think would actually be quite reasonable), his argument was that the book was a “series of corrections to stories already out there”. Which is simply not true. Was there a story already out there that he was pleasant to his teacher, and he had to correct it by saying that actually he was pretty nasty about her? Was there a story about his virginity he needed to correct? It’s so annoying.

He never ceases to make an absolute fool of himself.

Just goes to show all of those fancy schools make no difference whatsoever.
If you are dim you are dim.

But that's not dirty laundry, is it. Perhaps there were rumours we don't know about that his willy has never been frostbitten and he was correcting that

You think William will be king? The monarchy will still be here?

Exactly. He will have been given a detailed briefing by his PR people on how to respond to questions he was likely to get from the Guardian journalist. One of the questions will have been about the book.
Either he didn’t read the brief, went off piste or the PR needs to be sacked.

I haven’t read the DM piece because DM.
I can imagine how they’ve spun it though.
The Guardian source material actually focuses mostly on the Ukrainian soldiers.

He hasn't just aired his own dirty laundry he has aired the dirty laundry of many other people as well. The majority of the British public won't want him back

I thought he had had a good trip and I generally feel as much as he missteps many times, the press have had it against him and tried to destroy him and Meghan. But I also get frustrated by his lack of sense sometimes. A successful trip on well child and Ukraine wounded. He didn't have to bring up anything regarding his book. More importantly saying the "focus of the next year needs to be on my dad" sparks unnecessary speculation. Like is his cancer worsening? Is his prognosis poor and he has only until next year? Why should the focus be on father "this next year" not even 2 years or whatever? It's just so unnecessary to mention that at all and I wonder how Charles will feel (unless he sanctioned it to prep the country). Am sure his team vetted the questions beforehand, why didn't they say no to those personal ones? Or throw in a bland anecdote about life with his amazing kids and wife? Why couldn't he say he wanted the focus to be on Ukraine or veterans and this wasnt about him? Or no comment? This never ending crusade against the press as justified as it might be, he needs to let it go sometimes. Just park it away every now and then (given he can't let it go completely)

Is Charlie not guilty of narcissism in the past as well as revealing too much? Tampongate and having an affair the same length of time as his marriage? Both of Harry's parents aired a fair bit of their own dirty laundry.
That's not to excuse the level of detail Harry has gone to, which no-one really wanted to know.
They are and always have been a dim, dysfunctional family who've got away with paying virtually no tax, are the largest land owners in the UK and get a yearly hand out. Why is anyone surprised that they're selfish and self obsessed. And why do they get praise for doing some work.

I’m not who you were asking, but I think if what Harry is implying that Charles is terminally ill; then unless William walks (which he won’t because it means George will be king) then yes I think so.

I don’t think the uk has the energy for another referendum at the moment and the government have more pressing issues.

I can Possibly see William as the last one though, depending on the mood of the country.

I personally think the monarchy shouldn't be funded anymore, they have enough of their own cash. But I don't think they're going anywhere fast.
So far, his brother has done him a lot of favours and he seems to have taken his lead from relatives like the Duchess of Kent and Liz, in that he keeps a lid on himself.
The D of K is the only one I've ever had any respect for.

Seeing as the current King has cancer and Harry has just hinted that he may only have a year left, I think it’s pretty certain we will see William on the throng… seeing as we’re not in the middle of a revolution right now. Nothing is going to change. Anyone who actually no relieves the monarchy will be disbanded is just stupid. I don’t like having a monarchy, but I’m not stupid and realise that my personal preference does not a revolution make.

@deadpan “ tampongate” was a private conversation which was hacked .

@deadpan ’tampongate’ as you call it was a hacked/tapped private conversation. It’s hardly the same. I don’t disagree with your point about the interviews his parents gave or both their affairs.

😂

It sounds like that is what he inadvertently disclosed by saying the focus is on his father for the ‘next year’. Thats twice now he has alluded to his father not having long to live. Shouldn’t Charles be stepping down? he has looked particularly unwell on a few engagements.

I agree Harry has told us the King isn’t long for this world.

I’m disgusted and as we say in Scotland - I’d gladly shake the shite out of the little f*kr for it.

Harry had ONE job . Keep quiet . 🤦‍♀️
He has just played straight into William ( and others ) hands . Idiot.

As for Meghan telling him to stick to the truth 😂😂

I believe that like everyone else with a life threatening illness he should be allowed to carry on his normal life as long as he wants to.

Yep, Harry’s put his foot in it by indirectly telling us his dad may not be around much longer. The idiot.

It looks like he wants to have his cake and eat it. Live in California, and pop back here and do a few gigs and get his UK royal fix.

He should just do his own thing and do charity work around the world and enjoy it. As for the British public. I don’t think he’s welcome.

Once Wills is king he won’t have Harry around.

It is kind of funny to see him coming back with his tail between his legs, so many posters on this board predicted this would happen, wonder where are all those posters who cried ‘never’, ‘why would he’ are now?

Harry and Meghan’s mega failures in the US, and his desperation for a return to the good old days, must be a hard pill to swallow for some of their fans.

Even funnier to hear him trying to worm his way back into the British public good books, the British public are now wonderful, and who can forget him boldly stating, only a few weeks ago, the UK courts, government and the monarch are so corrupt they perpetuated ‘an establishment stitch up’ on him.

In private. A dear friend of DH has cancer. He's in hospital, last throw of the dice he said. In between treatments he soldiers on like Charles. Thankfully he doesn't have a son like Harry.

He has a right to discuss his life. I think King Charles is dying, I think William is lazy and selfish.
Harry was right to leave the UK, the media obsession was disgusting, the DM continues to write crap about them.
Harry was the scapegoat to protect Randy Andy.
King Charles needs his support, the Einstein emails is going to damage the RF.
