Having read the original interview in The Guardian, it is frustrating to watch Harry once again snatch disaster from triumph. The interview is very complimentary about Invictus and all it is doing for morale in Ukraine and supporting those who have been terribly injured. Harry is popular there because of his work with Invictus.

And then he has to talk rubbish about his book becayse he is unable to admit that just maybe he isn't perfect and make mistakes like the rest of us.

Instead of being left with a positive view of his work with the charity , I was left wondering what on earth he considers his dirty laundry to be if his book wasn't it.

Of course it is! It's basically a puff piece, designed to flatter. It's not any sort of serious journalism.

Harry is popular there because of his work with Invictus.

Anyone can be 'popular' when they show up for literal flying visits once in a blue moon. Harry was also popular as a royal when doing the occasional stage managed visit. But we've now seen the real him behind the carefully managed facade, and once left to his own devices, as with this interview, there it is again.

He has a right to discuss his life.

Well yeah, clearly he does.

After all we've had several interviews, assorted spiteful jabs, a book, a 'documentary', threats of more of the same...

So I think Harry has fully availed of his 'right' to discuss his life, and that of others who didn't ask for their privacy to be invaded. I can't think of anyone else who insists we need to hear about his 'side' as much as Harry.

However, so long as he makes everything about him and refuses to see how his actions relate to other people, then it's best he remains as an extra in his wife's twerking videos. His 'support' is not needed.

I didn't read his book. I had no interest in reading it, I find the anger and hate towards them bizarre.
I don't click on newspaper articles about them, it is usually bullying and mocking.
I saw the Oprah interview.
It was no more shocking than other celebrities reveal all interviews.

Imagine your father had married your innocent teenaged mother for convenience, while continuing his affair with another woman throughout the marriage.

Imagine he was head of the Church of England, but stood at the church altar lying when he vowed be faithful to his bride.

Imagine he drove her mad with his infidelity and coldness.

Imagine all of this went on in the public eye and the whole world saw her humiliation.

Imagine she died, your father married his mistress and you are supposed to pretend you respect them, and revere the pair of them as the king and queen.

How the hell would you feel?

My friend volunteered for sentabale for years flying out to teach in the holidays. She's very angry.

At Christmas Dinners.

Emilygilmoreshandbag · 15/09/2025 08:55

I wonder if it occurs to Harry that all this public whining is pretty much the same as Meghan’s father’s behaviour that Harry and Meghan obviously found so bad.
Makes me wonder- did she marry someone just like her father? Or are they just following his playbook (since Harry has no brain of his own).
Anyway, it’s very sad for Charles not to see his grandchildren and bad they aren’t being brought up to be friends with their cousins.

It doesn't matter what you personally have or have not read.

The fact is that Harry has done little other than tell the world about his 'side' these past 5 years. If he wants to continue airing his petty grievances in public, that's up to him, but it's not compatible with working for his family in any official capacity. Otherwise back to being a prop for his wife's lifestyle business.

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.

”Tampongate’ was information gained from a private phone call between Charles and Camilla from a radio ham. It was Princess Diana who said the phrase ‘there were three of us in our marriage’….

I don’t get the sense of Narcissism from Charles in the same way as those traits that Prince Andrew or latterly Harry displays - the absolute belief in what they are saying is the ‘truth’ and that they are right all of the time.

I presume that was an auto correct, God knows what it came out at. Apologies if that offended anyone.

The word "news" is only one key away. Were you talking about "bad News"?

He had an immensely privileged life but was still discontent as he was jealous that William was more important than him and got more perks than him. Meghan fuelled the discontent. They went off in huff. Made quite a bit of money but became nobodies out in the cold. He wants back in. That's the bottom line.

I don't even think they made that much money.

But yes he's probably realising his privilege and trying to get his feet back under the Royal table.
He has zero chance of doing that with Meghan at his side.
He also has more chance of doing it while his Dad is still at the top.

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.

If you have children then you should ensure they never have a Nelson say 'ha ha' and then quote your words about losing your virginity etc.

Protecting your children is one of the important bits of being a parent.

Ratafia · 15/09/2025 09:02

I wonder how he reconciles the claim to have been setting the record straight with stuff that was demonstrably rubbish, like the story of how he was told about the Queen Mother's death by phone when he was at Eton - despite the fact that he was skiing with his father at the time.

MrsMitford3 · 15/09/2025 09:07

Harry and Megan are like vultures circling the weak and dying-they did it to the Queen and Prince Phillip and now they are doing it to Charles.

Trying desperately to stay relevant and hoping weak Charles will throw them a bone.

Despicable pair.

At Christmas Dinners.

So she was invited to Christmas Dinner? One amongst how many ?
Pretty sure many of us have a relative we tolerate at Christmas but it doesn’t mean they are back in the fold.

The King must be delighted that we now think he only has a year left.

Good old Harry, the gift that keeps on giving.

Perhaps you would feel like this is someone you don't want contact with as opposed to sucking up to him for money and titles?

But why should he be used to clean up the the image of the RF who are racists and offered him as a sacrifice for their image. Why come back to be sacrificed again. He should let it burn

He must be so frustrating for his PR team.

I think they’re as useless as he is.

If they were any good they’d have hammered it into his thick head that ‘when you open your mouth to speak, you do not deviate from the script’ !

Seriously, he really shouldn’t be let out alone.

MaturingCheeseball · 15/09/2025 09:16

How on earth can Harry say “truth” and “Meghan” in the same sentence? I can’t even begin to list all the lies she’s told.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 15/09/2025 09:17

ThatAvidViewer · 14/09/2025 22:16

The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.'

He keeps lying. Half of those stories were never even known—like how he treated his teacher, how he put cream on his frostbitten part, or how he lost his virginity, just to name a few.

Exactly

At least it's actual quotes from the wretched Mail this time, but so much for those who've insisted Harry will be feeling any regret for what he's done ... as if tthat was ever going to happen Hmm

ozarina · 15/09/2025 09:17

Is Harry going to make sure his father is protected and surrounded by the right people at this time in his life as he said about the late Queen?

I'd think, well, I'm 41 years old. I'm married with 2 healthy children. I'm a multimillionaire with more privilege and status than most people.
I can get therapy and come to terms with the past, and try to move on, knowing that a therapist will be available to me and I don't have to sit on a waiting list and still go out to work every day, struggling to cope.
I'd count my blessings.

Weepixie · 15/09/2025 09:18

I don’t think she/they can list them either. If they did they wouldn’t be forever contradicting themselves.
