PH - Not another one!

FWIW I just tune out when I see or hear him now. I used to believe he’d been manipulated by Meghan but now think he’s his own man and probably didn’t fully explain to Meghan the implications of joining The Firm.

As an aside, it’s quite obvious that if anything should go wrong or any accident befall him it can all be laid at the Royal Family’s door. He really is a piece of work.

All Harry wants to talk about is Harry, he is co producer of the
Apple TV programme so chose the subject so he could talk
about himself and put the boot in to his father, the same father
who Harry said was there for him.

Did he mean was there for him until he stopped putting money into Harry’s piggy bank.

Yes I think you’re right AGAA4.

Maddy thank you. I just think if Harry had something more useful to do that would involve caring for others he may not be so self-centred and unhappy.

AGAA4
Your daughter has shown how people can survive and thrive after the sad loss of a parent. Well done to her, and to you, who has brought her up to think of others and not herself. I wish people like your daughter could be known about by Harry, maybe he would be a lot more humble in the face of how others have coped.

Thank you smileless. I am proud of her.

Her father would be very proud of her AGAA as I'm sure you are and have every right to be.

We the country will look after those boys. I knew it was sentimental claptrap at the time.

Many children lost a parent at a young age my daughter included. I know they aren't all in the public gaze but it is no less painful for them.
My daughter is now around the same age as Harry and has got on with her life to make her dad proud. She is an oncology nurse so spends her time caring for others not constantly whining about the blow that life dealt her at age 12.

I can imagine a time when they will be as sick of him across the pond as many people here are.
He has already caused a furore by trashing their first amendment and calling it 'bonkers' so they 'aint too happy with him either.

You are Brenda from Bristol and I claim my £5.

Many of us are Brendas from Bristol, Alegrias

It has to be pronounced correctly, of course.
"You're joking. Not another one!"
ie not another pronouncement/whingefest from Harry.

Given that there are over half a million people living on the streets just down the coast in greater Los Angeles, Venice Beach being a prime example. Daily outpourings from a disgruntled British Prince moaning about his family, all the while ensconced in a beautiful enclave far removed from the harsh realities of some peoples everyday life. Continually displaying to the world his palatial paradise during the umpteen broadcasts is eventually going to reach saturation point. I can imagine a time when they will be as sick of him across the pond as many people here are.

He's lost touch with reality, hasn't he, Terribull.
Very disturbing.

Yes that is sad for Archie and his sister indeed Chestnut alienated from most relatives before he is two.

I can't see how he can ever build a relationship with Charles and William after this. The Oprah interview was bad enough but this shows that he is determined to fully trash them. Poor Archie and sibling will have no family on either side.

Sorry Jane43. I got you mixed up.

No problem. Princess Diana also said that Harry was easily led. He’s just a lost soul now.

I am a Royalist however, what is becoming obvious is that The Firm comes first regardless of whoever may get hurt along the way.

That was what I meant Calendargirl and should have put it better but I still think H must have known that any security would not be supplied at the British tax payer's expense.

There certainly does appear to be a lack of continuity in his statements doesn't there Jane.

Yes they are annsixty, it's unbelievable isn't it.

Of course he has signed up with Netflix and other conglomerates with their expectation of his dishing the dirt revelations about the royal family, so in a way he's trapped, which smacks of irony because that's how he described his father and brother's lives.

There's nothing new about grievances within families, they happen in many. Although how can bridges be built if one person's point of view is continually out in the public domain, the accuser knowing full well that those who are having the grenades lobed in their direction can't and won't respond. It's so one sided. Harry's skewed expectation of improved relations with all those he has thrown under the bus after the interview would suggest how tunnel visioned he's become. No doubt fuelling the public's disaffection with him because similar disloyalties and dynamics within families will resonate the length and breadth of the land.

I have read major points from the interview online and am horrified that anyone can expect to maintain any sort of relationship with their family after saying such things for the whole world to see and hear.
They are both totally oblivious to anyone but themselves.

Sorry Jane43. I got you mixed up.

That’s a very interesting comment from one of Harry’s friends JaneJudge. Explains a lot if true doesn’t it? Poor Harry. He comes across as a very mixed up individual. Needy. But with a temper (apparently - the red hair?).

Perhaps he needs to buckle up and get into some work. Something that interests and fulfils his needs and cam occupy him and give his life some purpose (whatever it might be).

Too much analysis is probably as bad as not enough ...

Blinko that is a very interesting observation. You could well be right.

He knew that when they walked away and went abroad it would be lost

This refers to security. No, I don’t think they realised it would be lost- that is one of the main bones of contention. Somehow they expected they would still get security, paid for either by the British tax payer or Prince Charles.

Expensive business, security, if you’re funding it yourself, and previously just taken for granted.

A friend of Prince Harry recently said that Harry’s opinions depend on the person he last spoke to. The extract below from the BBC website illustrates this.

Prince Harry has said he is "very glad" he joined the funeral cortege for his mother, Princess Diana.
Harry had previously said walking behind her coffin aged 12 was something no child "should be asked to do".
He has now told the BBC he doesn't "have an opinion whether that was right or wrong", but "looking back on it", he is glad to have been part of the day.
The prince also paid tribute to his father for the way he took care of them after Diana's death in a car crash.
"One of the hardest things for a parent to have to do is to tell your children that your other parent has died," Harry said.
"How you deal with that I don't know but, you know, he was there for us."
Harry and his brother, Prince William, have spoken in a series of interviews leading up to the 20th anniversary of their mother's death on 31 August.

I feel that one of the things he is definitely highlighting is that in his eyes, his mother’s death was caused because she didn’t have any British security. Therefore, in the same vein, he and his family, to avoid this threat, must have private security paid for by the British tax payer. He is comparing his mother’s life to his wife’s, history repeating itself.

Princess Diana was offered security by the royal family after the divorce but she refused it because she was convinced it would be a means of spying on her. This paranoia was exacerbated by Bashir’s actions. So the situation is not the same at all but Prince Harry has his narrative and will stick to it despite evidence to the contrary.
