Megan and Harry again!

Maybe he should have done as the rest of the RF do and ignore them. He was probably the most popular member of that family, apart from the Queen.

Like this, you mean?

I gather Harry has said he didn't walk away from the Royal family, this is true, I don't think either have yet managed the task of walking on water, although with such super human credentials that they clearly must have, to be endorsed by all manner of money making enterprises, I imagine it's a work in progress. Dosh Podcast regarding that to follow! No it seems they both flew across the pond,, but I imagine in some sort of sustainable green travel type blah blah blah aircraft, what else? I mean in time with a bit more focus they could maybe do a Ben Fogle, James Cracknell rowing effort and end up with super strong muscles should they feel the need to grace our shores, but I expect they need to work up to such a task.

Anyway in the first instance it's quite understandable they didn't do that, although I imagine flying weighed heavily on their minds, as Harry is prone to spout "we could all do better" cept us, I can see they had little choice in using airline services in transferring to a life overseas. Anyway where would one's sizeable collection of Louboutins be stashed on such a small vessel? Possibly Meghan needs a bit more time before she goes the full Thunberg!

I have seen the whole clip of Harry and James Corden. If you like the latter, where he chats with the rich and famous in cars, you'll like this one.

Harry is rather amusing in most of this. However the media is calling it extraordinary and are amazed at what he's said. I just thought it reasonable and he didn't really say very much at all.

Yep, he calls the media toxic. Said it was destroying his mental health. But he says he didn't walk away. It was quite light hearted. Not a serious interview like we've had inflicted on us recently. I think this was filmed before he had been stripped of his titles.

Meghan has a tiny part in this. Perfectly pleasant. Even though we now know she calls him Haz.

If I was H&M I'd drop the Oprah one and stick with Corden.

No matter how much you dislike what Harry has said/done, this is worth a watch before reading about it in the paper.

It certainly made me think a bit differently.

Oh and I'd also like an acknowledgement that when they said they wanted a life of privacy they didn't really mean it.

I watched this morning, the short interview with a photographer, who photographed H growing up and on his tours. He spoke of the times off camera going for a drink and being able to talk to him freely. However, it all suddenly stopped with no explanation when M came on the scene.

Whoops ?

This morning I’ve seen the interview James Corden did with Harry in Los Angeles. It’s been released by CBS overnight.
They are taking British style afternoon tea from china cups on an open top bus drive while James asks the questions.
If Harry wants a private life why is he involving these big American TV companies to tell the world about it?
I’m puzzled. Puzzler61 is puzzled ?

In my opinion I think it’s because he has more control over what he can do/say as opposed to having to defer to RF protocol.

They have moved to a different country , millions do so. Why would people want someone to stay in a situation where they werent happy. The thought of Harry or anyone having to stick something out that makes them unhappy, why would we want someone to do that. If Charles tomorrow decided that royal life made him unhappy and he wanted to retire to his garden well good luck to him.

Someone from the Sentebale charity on Radio 4 this morning said that M&H are still involved in this and other causes. It seems just the sort of thing he would be involved in given his mother's history.
I do wonder thinking about duty and love which HM spoke of. The real instance when she put love ahead of duty by marrying Philip seems to have had great success, whereas instances when duty was put first- Charles & Diana, Margaret & Townsend seem to have resulted in disaster. Could it be she's got it wrong.?Besides which she's the head of the Cof E and it's a religion which has love as it's first commandment.

They exchanged Christmas Gifts, The Queen asked Harry what Archie would like, estranged families do not.

He had choices.
He could have done as the rest of the family do and ignored it; he could have listened to it, reflected and possibly adapted his behaviour, or do what he did do: run away.

I saw the Queen last night on the news, looking extremely elegant and very chipper, and I wondered: is she really as badly affected by all this as some of us think, or is she probably glad to see the back of them?

Just to clarify, the upset is for him, not against - as in I feel for him.

Just watched it, it's hard not to have feeling for his mental health, and understanding for the desire to protect himself and his family - I even think that he genuinely believes he's doing good, and using his platform to do so. It's the complete inability to read the whole room that's baffling, and the inability to understand that getting paid to appear on TV isn't supporting the assertion of 'noble cause'.

It's actually quite upsetting to watch a self confessed vulnerable man sell himself to the media in the belief that it supports some kind of public service. it's equally upsetting that he believes he hasn't walked away from the RF, his birth family - you can't use the words 'their side' and not, at least deep down, recognise there hasn't been a significant fracture. It's all really sad to be honest.

I have watched all the clips of him with James Corden on The Late Late Show, he looked relaxed and happy.

He is in Santa Barbara now, leading his own life on his terms. It must have been hard for a grown man to have to defer to his Grandparents all the while knowing he was only ever the spare I wish them both a long and happy life together.

Yes once again all about him, I agree merlotgran walking away it was.

Maybe he should have done as the rest of the RF do and ignore them. He was probably the most popular member of that family, apart from the Queen.

Merlotgran according to Sky Harry said he had to step down as the British Press was toxic and destroying his mental health.

It looks like Harry has got in first with an interview with James Cordon. I haven't watched it and I doubt I'll bother but having seen a highlight this morning I'm puzzled that H thinks 'stepping back' is not 'walking away.'

They scarpered PDQ to Canada before the move to LA and wherever it is they now live. They waved two fingers to the UK.

If that's not walking away I don't know what is.

time for bed said Zebedee ?

Best not to continue with Charles, it is not related to the thread title

Anniebach

Really Luca you know Charles was in love with someone else , or you believe the many,many programmes which claim he was ?

Same as ‘Camilla got tired of waiting for him so married someone else’

Are you saying he wasn’t ?

Perhaps we should ask the OP to be the judge of this. Not seen since their post on Sunday?

All threads digress lemsip, in fairness I haven't read many on GN that stay with the OP the whole way through. Just because it irritates you is there any reason to insist it should die? You could just scroll past if it irks you.
