I shall use his speech as a cure for insomnia.

Two words sprang to mind 'oh dear'.

It’s never a good idea to criticise your adopted country after rubbishing the one you left is it? Suggests they can’t be happy anywhere to me. Except maybe Africa which he says he loves but I suspect not that much…

Yes, Harry banged on about climate change - after having flown 6,000 miles to New York and back to deliver his words of wisdom.

I never listen to anything the RF have to say - it's usually a hypocritical lecture on the environment. The Cambridges left Kensington Palace the other day by helicopter!

maddyone you're very naughty!
But seeing as I had nothing better to do at coffee time in this heat, I took a look.
His speech about Mandela began ok, with of course the usual reference to his mum, but after that it got very disjointed, the lecturing started and I'm sure he didn't have the foggiest what he was droning on about. Can anyone enlighten me as to why he was invited to speak on such an occasion, and why he has gone from criticising his own country to doing the same to USA?
The funniest thing was that the auditorium was almost empty!! Nul points.

Couldn’t resist grin What do you all make of Prince Harry’s latest venture into the world of public speaking?
