Can’t help imagining the interview.
Now Vladimir, how far do you think your traumatic childhood contributed into making you the self-seeking tyrant that you are?
Donald you come in here. Do you think your childhood was responsible for your narcissistic life choices?
😬
Unbelievable, everyone having a childhood trauma for a start. Can you imagine anyone of those would admit the slightest weakness. Contrary to H and M views very few bad mouth their families, I know of family rifts of course, but not doing a hatchet job on them to all and sundry after negotiating the best price.
When I initially read this article I was mildly amused. However, after thinking it dawned on me it is rather an interesting idea. Putin would have been a disaster but there's plenty more powerful people to interview.
Only issue with it is the idea that Harry thinks he's capable of such interviews. Which he's not.
But I do think the idea is a good one

It certainly looks that way GSM if he wasn't whining, what would he have to talk about
.
He must be such a misery to live with - whining self-pitying, angry. Not a husband I would want.

Don’t you have to want to get better for therapy to work? I think H far prefers having something to whine about.
Harry and William both had bereavement therapy soon after Diana’s death. Harry’s was extended for a much longer period. Unfortunately if you don’t work with the therapist no amount of examining your psyche is going to help. The Californian therapist recommended by Meghan Markle and was decidedly weird.
Running a gynae cancer support group for five years, with many terminal members, I saw first hand no end of children who watched their mothers or grandmothers die over long periods of time, but they didn’t lose themselves in a pool of misery and self pity. Neither did the mothers who watched their daughters die. They supported and helped each other.
The reality is that not being fabulously wealthy keeps us grounded by the need to keep a roof over our heads and our families fed and clothed. Constantly trying to evaluate what is best for them and not ourselves.

I'm putting it up for discussion which is what this site is for! some people don't seem to know that.
Michael Caine is famous for the catch-phrase "Not a lot of people know that", though he never actually said it. The phrase was probably first said by Peter Sellers when he appeared Parkinson (1971) on 28 October 1972 and said: "Not many people know that.
Wondering by what convoluted stretch of the imagination, autocorrect turned Mark Zuckerberg into bergmark zucker 

Still it made me look.
At one stage in his life William joined the Air Sea Rescue Service making good used of his helicopter training.
If Harry was so against being a Royal he should have done the same, also being a helicopter pilot. A move up to Anglesey should has suited him well?
Oh I’m not worried; wouldn’t know what there would be to worry about anyway.
And the NY Post is still a disreputable sleaze rag. Always was, always will be.
Harry had no purpose in his life and nothing at all to work towards, unlike your daughter AGAA4. This I suspect, is what happens to many children of the mega rich, take Brooklyn Beckham as an example. Harry doesn’t know what to do with himself, he simply has no purpose and I suspect he knows it.
Harry has completely lost his way. He had the ability to do some good with his life which is often the best therapy there is.
My DD watched her strong fit father diminish with cancer over 18 months and die when she was just starting high school. She told me she just wanted to help him but nobody could.
She is now a senior oncology nurse and loves her job. She decided to be a nurse after her dad had died and I believe her ambition helped her as no therapy sessions ever could.

Just came here to say that the NY Post has to be the slimiest, most disreputable rag a person can “read”. Even accidentally reading an “article” from it makes me feel like I lost brain cells.
well don't you worry yourself, it's in the DM also don't you know!
New york press and daily express to name a few more.

Thank goodness they pulled the plug on that idea. The poor man is deluded if he thinks he could control an interview with any of them and why on earth would anyone want to give air time to Putin or Trump? Totally bonkers!
Yes, this.
I expect most of these narcissistic/ despotic men in positions of power had damaging childhood. They need to feel omnipotent and in control at all times because feeling the feelings of past trauma would never happen as they are in total denial that anything is wrong with them.
There is a lot written about narcissism. It's a personality disorder/ illness which usually has it's roots in very destructive/neglectful parenting, with very little chance of being healed.
Harry, unfortunately seems to have got rather stuck in his healing journey. This desire of his is dysfunctional IMHO.
There is no way to change these despotic personalities or get them to open up...so his attempts to try to have conversations with them is naive. It would be better for him to move on, get through his past and embrace more worthwhile pursuits. People can and do! But I guess those 'ordinary' people don't get paid to discuss their trauma in public.
Narcissistic people will never admit to any 'failings' so his 'conversation' would not, in any case, produce any results.
I don't think he needs more therapy, less if anything. And I don't agree that his childhood was 'traumatic' - devalues the word
Nor do I think he really wanted to talk to Putin etc at all, just another way of talking about himself.
It won’t be long before Meghan realises that being married to a laughing stock is harming her own prospects.

I think Harry needs a much better therapist than he has had before.
I agree .... but Harry seems to be someone who refuses to listen to advice so I think he will just go blundering on.
If this is true, the fact that Harry thinks that he is in any way qualified to undertake this type of investigation simply underlines the profound depth of his ongoing self-delusion. He appears to be on self-induced meltdown, and I do find myself wondering how long it will be before Meghan leaves him to stew on his own.
After reading the transcript of Harry's recent court appearance, he would clearly be out of his depth just interviewing my cat ! He had not done any prep before appearing in court (or if he had, he'd forgotten it!) and he seems completely deluded about his skills and talents.
eazybee i totally agree
Harry is completely out of his depth and floundering; he has lost touch with 'his' reality, which is probably the outdoor life, polo, horses, dogs, soldiering and his extended family. No-one he would listen to prepared to tell him he is making a fool of himself, just a circle of sycophants there for the money.
I would feel some sympathy if it were not for his calculated and sustained spite towards his family, and lately, country.
