well, here it is, Harry interview itv 9pm

"All 4 year olds misbehave most of them aren't sitting in front of a huge crowd and don't have their actions recorded for posterity.
Having seen the damage done to his brother through public exposure throughout his childhood you would imagine William would be a little more protective.
How will Louis feel when the clips of his 4 year old behaviour are played back to him in his teens?"

I expect he will feel the same as Archie will, when he sees his parents reality series showing him naked in the bath?

More to the point, how will Archie cope with everything his father has said?

The content in this book is so filled with personal stuff. Frozen dongle, losing virginity, hating on family members, killing in Afghanistan with little regret

I believe that Harry has taken a huge risk with this.

But hey, it's his truth. Whatever that means. I used to think that the truth was just the truth. You can't have your own truth.

Maybe I'm just old

Well Harry did say that he went on to take many drugs "therapeutically" and that is what enabled him to see the truth. We can only assume that drug induced truth is different to actual truth.

Oh dear, Harry has been told to evacuate due to the floods.
Hopefully it won't be seen as Camilla's fault, or William's fault!

H&M did set out intentionally to hurt others. How will they handle it now that karma comes to bite them in the a*s*s?

Interesting article from The Guardian about estrangement in general, but mentioning Harry and William…..

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jan/10/the-thinnest-ice-youll-ever-walk-on-how-to-reconcile-with-a-long-lost-sibling

If they do take to a panic room instead of evacuating, I hope the panic room isn't underground. Not a good location in a flood.

Speaking as a parent whose embittered child also took psychadelic drugs and claimed to know "the truth" when "illuminated" by the drugs, surely it must be different to actual truth.

This is all absolutely heart breaking especially for Charles and William who are on the receiving end. They would never have expected this level of vitriol and such deeply personal attacks and leaked private information could seriously affect their mental health. So my concern is for them. Harry is trying to destroy the very monarchy that his grandmother has worked so hard to preserve for the last 70 years. It's beyond heart breaking. 😥

It’s heart breaking for all of them. Estrangement, anger, different memories of the same event and more. All being played out in public.

Its very cruel when some one who knows your weaknesses uses them against you- and so publicly.

So, Harry share that KC had been bullied at school (who hasn't!) but to use his weaknesses to try and shame him is actually shameful elder bullying.

More lies from Harry. He claims he was at Eaton when someone (possibly a courtier) rang to tell him his grandmother, the Queen Mother, had died. Blatant untruth as he was in Klosters with Charles and William and they cut the skiing holiday short and flew back.

Yes and it's proof that the book is not really quite accurate in places. Unfortunately we don't know which other places.

At least I'll not have Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea as an earworm any more, thanks Casdon 🙂

I do hope they're somewhere safe.

There is rarely - if ever - "a truth" when it comes to personal relationships. There are bits and pieces that are true and verifiably so but it is accurate to say, "my truth".

I'm not happy with all Harry said, for example revealing his brother's being bullied, and similar, but I believe it is the case that there is "an establishment" at work in our Monarchy that seeks to repress that which is counter to the myth they would create for themselves. It is a situation where Harry is coming up against forces with real power, and I include the Red tops et al in these forces. Trying to keep an idealised picture of our Monarchy alive.

Being a "spare" does not have to be a negative thing. Footballers have them. Actors have them. It's only a problem if your ego can't handle being the spare.

Prince Edward was the spare, spare, spare. I haven't seen him ever complain.

Sorry! It was all the discussion about floods that did it.

H and M could have played important roles in the new slimmed down monarchy. I don’t think playing second fiddle was M’s thing though, having been the starring actress.

Well, I’ve heard it all now! This is his account of what happened when they left hospital after Meghan’s miscarriage-

“The Prince said he buried his unborn child under a banyan tree somewhere "only we knew".

He said: "Under a spreading banyan tree, while Meg wept, I dug a hole with my hands and set the tiny package softly in the ground."

The upsetting account from Prince Harry is the latest detailing the Duchess' miscarriage.”

Well he has obviously got it right and we are all wrong. He can't have been at Eton. I distinctly remember DD was on an Easter school trip skiing, and on the Easter Saturday DH and I were at the ballet when the Stage Manager came on stage to announce it.

That’s such an unnecessary revelation. Even the poor little baby is brought into it. Some things are deeply personal and should remain private. I expect burial in consecrated ground would have been possible; both are apparently Christian.

Prince Edward was the spare, spare, spare. I haven't seen him ever complain.

You really don't understand "spare" do you. Edward was a child born because his mother wanted another try at motherhood so a wanted child. A "spare" is one born because the father wants to ensure the line continues and the mother feels she has a duty to help that.
Conventional aristocratic thinking said once the spare was produced both parties could be unfaithful because any child the mother had wouldn't inherit. so its paternity didn't matter

I think it's the revelation of all this personal stuff I find so dreadful, but more so when it's someone else's deeply personal stuff, your brother and your father. That is just unforgiveable. They must be so hurt. It's just not done to reveal such private family moments to outsiders, but to reveal it to the whole world? Just disgusting. I would be utterly broken by such betrayal. 😢😢

Is that what it means Volver Dear? Your superior knowledge again!

Yes, well I have told you several times but clearly you didn't assimilate it, and have decided to keep doing it because you think its funny. Or something.

A completely different poster told me a few weeks ago that she didn't like the abbreviation that I used for her name, so I stopped using it. But then I'm a grown up.

You are volver and I’m grateful.
😊
A genuine ‘thank you’.

Joseanne I know that you will take this as it’s intended - your post at 18.02 was the most upper middle class thing that I’ve seen on here!
