Poor Harry

I can't sorry, I certaintly don't . I am not a royalist but not a republican either, the thought of voting for a president ? No thanks, plus it would be another drawn out political campaign

I dont understand people who"love" the royal family ...WHY? Can someone explain it to me?

I still think they should hand the title back though

I don't think Charles has wanted to be King as in yippee I will be a king, just he has always accepted the fact and quite naturally would want changes if/when the day comes . He has never done an Andrew, thank heaven , I feel sorry for Charles and think it such a pity many don't acknowledge what a good PofW he is.

He has one uncle I suspect would greatly enjoy being King, luckily this particular man is way down the list now although he must have been much higher at birth.

someone should tell him he has a father to be proud of too. Yes, it is a bit unbalanced, Annie, and by not mentioning Charles he is showing even more how reluctant a royal he is.

It's almost as though Harry is trying to create problems in his own family by lumping all the other royals in with himself. I think Charles has been wanting the top job for ages, and, as for William, I can't see his wife wanting to miss out, so she will steer him accordingly. Harry is a bit out on a limb and I would imagine the others might have been a bit miffed at being brought into this with his stupid comment.

So like his mother in my opinion, seeks the camera when it gives him good publicity and complains of intrusion the rest of the time .

I am baffled that so many see little Harry still, snd I do think he uses his mother's death, I am sure his grief is genuine but bringing her up in so many interviews isn't necessary, someone should tell him he has a father to be proud of too.

Imagine a grown up 32 year old teacher talking to his local radio station about how no one in the school really wanted to be the head?

He he, that made me laugh Rigby.

So, if Harry is reluctant to step up to the mark, we should also see him take action to stay away from interviews etc. I wonder. Or, is Harry a bit like his mother - seeking the limelight while complaining about media intrusion?

To be fair to Harry he didn't go onto university with grades which if achieved by non royals wouldn't have been considered for entry, so he joined the army , but as an officer as did many from wealthy families

Well he obviously hasn't the sense to realise, as the others have, that keeping your mouth shut is a small price to pay for a very lavish lifestyle.

Eleo this is directed at Harry because of the stupid, thoughtless, patronising, entitled, whinging comments he made in his interview.

William would have been very busy at home probably doing the bathrooms, vacuuming the stairs or making dinner. He is a very busy "Family man" isn't he? Or maybe like most dads he would have just been at work? Oops sorry like all other royals, he doesn't "do" real work.

I agree William and Kate need to get off their backsides but Charles has carried out royal duties from a young age, I know someone very much involved in the Prince's Trust and he told me Charles is very much involved, attends meetings, holds functions to meeting young people who benefit from it. I know he has invited the Aberfan Wives Group to spend a day at Highgrove, we will not read of it in the papers because isn't young , if William did the same it would be on the front page of every news paper and the press would decend on Highgrove.

It was Chsrles who met with the Muslim victims of the terrorist attack , queenie was at Ascot and William? Who knows.

Merlot, I did wonder why you thought I didn't know his father was named Charles

I can understand that the funeral must have been a very distressing time for Harry. He was young when his mother died and he was thrust into public view at the very time when I'm sure he should have been sheltered from it.

However, I think he was foolish to grumble about his lot in life - other children and young people have undergone much worse tragedies and disruptions, with none of the support that is afforded to this privileged family.

But why so much ire directed at Harry - why not at Charles, William, Kate, Edward, etc. etc. who are not particularly industrious either. Attending carefully orchestrated photoshoots for charity events is a propagandising device by which the royal family appears to be "working hard" but in fact the real work is done by others.

Sorry, Annie I didn't realise you meant Charles Spencer.

I'm a strong monarchist and a big fan of Princes William and Harry. But I think enough is enough and Harry should stop these outpourings now and try to find a useful way to fulfil his undoubtedly difficult role in life.

I think some still see the vunerable twelve year old walking behind his mother's coffin, doubt there were many who didn't want to wrap their arms around him, I did. That was twenty years ago,,

Seems like John McDonald after calling people f*****g losers , he is just a naughty boy.

Merlot, Diana had two sisters Sarah and Jane, and a brother Charles,I don't think it is a Welsh custom to call your mothers brother uncle , I could be wrong

Haven't heard if Charles Spencer has found wife number four yet , sorry of topic

And someone in his position shouldn't be making ' an unfortunate choice of words'.

As soon as people play the 'you're just envious' card, it's clear they have no argument to make. If he's so amazingly wonderful, how come he was stupid enough to make those comments. Knowing full well the amount of coverage tgey would receive. Imagine a grown up 32 year old teacher talking to his local radio station about how no one in the school really wanted to be the head? They'd be suspended on the spot. The elephant in the room is that basically, he's not very bright and can't string a sentence together in a coherent, meaningful way.

I am getting more irritated sorry.

He did four months in Afghanistan , he was protected there by the Ghurkas

When he did his army training a private room was refurbished for him in the camp , he nipped off frequently to spend time with Tiggy on her parents estate, I saw him set off on training exercises, for some reason there was a Ghurka in the group who carried a very large pack and I think Harry had to go without stuff because hid pack seemed smaller.

Yep, as he said - I am just one of the boys

Charles is his father, Annie Not his uncle.

Harry is actually rubbish at delivering speeches anyway. The content is poor and his diction is awful. And that is undoubtedly after years of expensive elocution lessons. (And yes, I am a linguistic specialist!)

In Germany they used one of his speeches for an English exam paper recently, thinking it was topnotch English material. The pupils complained he mumbled and didn't enunciate properly, they couldn't pick out the answers. After specialists examined the piece, it was removed and apologies made because it was so poor.

Maybe his choice of wording was unfortunate. By using the word "want" he is implying no one has the will or the inclination to do the job, which comes across pretty poor and lacking in commitment. Maybe he could have said, jokingly, something along the lines of, "Spend a few weeks with us in our jobs and then tell us if you'd like to do it!" I don't think he is very bright at being interviewed, and, as others have said, he should put an end to these outpourings. What next? Writing his own book?
