well, here it is, Harry interview itv 9pm

That might be the most disingenuous post I've ever seen on GN, and that's saying something.

There’s an amazing recording of Twelfth Night from the Globe Theatre which was on tv last night. Shakespeare’s use of language is superb. The Elizabethans over 400 years ago really were so much more advanced than we are today. Phenomenal!

The interviews apparently took place in Churchill Cottage which is part of San Ysidro Ranch Hotel, California.

We watched the ITV interview, not sure if a reconciliation is on the cards anytime soon.

PH seemed calm and rational, a lot of families have issues. It must be dreadful to feel that you have been maligned by the press whilst other family members are still on pedestals.

I watched Happy Valley, then a few minutes of the interview before switching off.

There are posters diagnosing ‘paranoia’, rubbishing the therapy PH has engaged in. Being upset, angry and anxious about members of your family briefing the press against you is a normal not paranoid response

Oreo I won't quite as you don't seem to like it although t does make it easier to keep track soon who we're responding to.
This is a discussion forum, people out their opinions and people are allowed to disagree.

Or he closed his eyes and thought of Camilla. It's all so sad realky.

Yes very sad.

Only KC knows the truth: whether he closed his eyes and thought of England (Camilla) or whether he thought he could have both a wife and a mistress or even if he thought he might grow to love Diana and forget Camilla? It may be that he planned to have his cake and eat it, but Diana found out and went mad? If that was the case, he probably never intended to marry Camilla?

Shakespeare’s use of language is phenomenal, yes, but the speaking of it in that performance was not. Very poor,I thought.

He would have made a great play out of the Harry/Meghan saga.

Yes, as I already said though - as far as Shakespeare goes, Royals talking to ghosts never ends well.

perhaps charles will take his head out of the sand now and remove their titles or whatever else.

Harry said he had been in therapy for 7 years. I think he should quit and ask for a refund.

I agree. He needs a new therapist, and needs to understand that therapy means working on himself, accepting his own part in his life and not just pointing the finger of blame and wallowing in the wrongs you think have been done to you. That way lies paranoia.

Well seeing as we're talking about Shakespeare, how about this from my bard?

A King can make a belted knight, a marquis, duke and aa' that.

The man o' independent mind, he looks and laughs at aa' that.

(Okay, I changed the order 🤣)

Camilla was a guest at the wedding as was her husband, he was
part of the carriage procession.

As Annie says, the Parker Bowles were part of Charles’ circle of friends.

It would probably have raised eyebrows if they hadn’t been invited to the wedding.

I had a copy of the play to read as I thought my hearing was at fault. Shall return to it.

In reply to Grandma 70s

I would think Tom Bradby needed a stiff drink after that lot!

It’s all very well blaming the press/media, but if Harry didn’t put it out there the press would have nothing to complain or blame him for. Harry gives them all the ammunition they need.

Yes.
He knows what the press will do so why give them more info and this time, in person so he can’t say they’ve twisted it. What has he achieved in terms of resolution with his family?
If he gets the apologies he feels he deserves, will they be part of his next peroration? Does he think his family will trust him enough not to give his version of anything that is said? I certainly wouldn’t; and speaking from personal experience with my estranged brother, and estrangement posts I’ve read on here, they’d be right not to.

There is a thread on here called AIBU
To wonder why famous people feel they have to over share personal stuff. This is a great example.

So he was asking for it then?

YABU.

Charles is godfather to the son of the Parker Bowles, Andrew
Parker Bowles is godfather to one of Anne’s children, they were an item when young.

You said he was asking for it, VD, not me. 👏👏

I watched the interview last night rather than rely on commentary. It reinforced my opinion that too much navel gazing is not helpful in moving forward. His demands for accountability and apologies from his family are astounding. If he really believes this very public whingeing about his privileged life and trashing his family are the way to move forward and achieve reconciliation he’s deluded. He actively feeds the appetite of the press about which he is utterly paranoid. This isn’t going to end well.

In my opinion, enough already. It’s time to move on.
I did watch and will make one observation- he didn’t appear to have been briefed by M!

Was good to hear Harry tell his side of the story he spoke well. The press are horrible in the country down the bottom of league table of press accuracy. Glad he is suing them that will be help towards press standards.
If as spare he is not protected RF leak brief press, despite saying never complain never explain. It’s all unaccountable secretive as public figures doing a public job getting public funds this secrecy should end.

After interview with Harry and Meghan the palace said there would be a diversity tsar but that hasn’t happened. So come on RF be accountable.

Oh don't be ridiculous.

The sort of thing a child in the playground might say.

"Well I didn't say he was asking for it, you said he was asking for it. Aren't I clever."

I didn’t know there was a league table of press accuracy, Grany. Can you provide a link to it?

I watched after Happy Valley on +1. He seemed fairly reasonable and sensible to me. Admitted that he is still working through things and just gave his own account of things. I see no reason why he shouldn't do this.
Some of the ideas are totally believable, like the reinvention of Camilla, the rivalry to be front page and the lack of acceptance of Meghan.
His own position with the press because he still has on-going legal actions is no difficult and you can see why they would want to dismiss him.

I couldn’t help laughing at the end when Harry made a comment about how he and Meghan’s lives are not funded by the British taxpayer (or words to that effect)

Without a tax payer funded monarchy to criticise he wouldn’t earn a penny. He clings on to his tax payer funded title because he knows his stock will drop dramatically if he loses it.
