Reading the accounts of Diana's life following the interview I was struck by how gullible she was, and how resolutely she refused to listen to any advice. She was estranged from members of her family and some friends and could not understand how appalled the Royal family and her staff were by her disclosures; she was intent on portraying herself as a victim and thought 'her' public agreed with her.
What is frightening, and I mean that seriously, is how Harry is following his mother's dangerous example, manipulated by his wife and Winfrey and a collection of American PRs intent on making money. Separated from his family, alienated from his friends, and removed from the wise counsel of those who know him and have his best interests at heart, he has no thought for the consequence of his actions. Fine if his ramblings were confined to America, but they are widely reported here and cause increasing offence to those who liked him.
He has said 'I've got a great deal of my mum in me; the only way to free yourself and break out is to tell the truth.'
Just like her he does not see how his version of the truth portrays his immaturity, causes great hurt to those he traduces, and ultimately, to himself.
I would love to ring him up and have a chat; do you honestly think he would listen? Just as his mother refused to listen to the advice of the police who repeatedly offered protection, and ultimately, Dodi Fayed's bodyguard.
