Everybody's Wild About Harry

A friend of The King’s told The Sunday Times "Harry just sees conspiracy every time a decision doesn’t go in his direction. He is like a gambler in a casino who can’t walk away - he just doubles down. Even when he speaks of reconciliation, it is laced with threats and anger.
"It’s not that the King won’t speak to him - it’s that he can’t. How can you have a private and delicate conversation when you know it is going to end up on a news special within hours? Perhaps if he tried to earn rather than demand a reconciliation, things might go a little better for him. It’s just very tragic."
That and a billion or so other reactions to Prince Harry's BBC interview.

Calorogus Shark Media. Hello, welcome to Palace intrig again. Your
2
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.480
host Mark Francis, a friend of the King's, told The
3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.679
Sunday Times Harry just sees conspiracy every time a decision
4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.839
doesn't go in his direction. He is like a gambler
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.920
in a casino who can't walk away. He just doubles down.
6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.879
Even when he speaks of reconciliation, it is laced with
7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.200
threats and anger. It's not that the King won't speak
8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.240
to him, it's that he can't. How can you have
9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.159
a private and delicate conversation when you know it is
10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.719
going to end up on a news special within hours.
11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.079
Perhaps if you tried to earn rather than demand a reconciliation,
12
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.600
things might go a little better for him. It's just
13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.880
very tragic. Robert Taylor, also in The Express, writes, there
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.039
is so much that is so sad about the Duke
15
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.960
of Sussex's latest failed legal battle and sob story BBC
16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.399
interview in which case must beg him with the best
17
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.280
will in the world and using admittedly Unroyal language to
18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.239
just shut up. I can't put it any simpler than that.
19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.799
Every time he carries out an interview with the Bebe
20
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.200
or Oprah, and every snide remark and every book he
21
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.159
publishes just makes it yet more likely that the matters
22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.120
he claims to want to resolve with his once nearest
23
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.000
and dearest will merely push them all further and further apart.
24
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.560
How can he possibly plead for reconciliation with his family
25
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.840
when he's done so much to undermine them. Is anyone
26
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.879
who had just been punched in the face ready to
27
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.840
reconcile themselves with the puncher, particularly when they're accused of
28
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.159
racism or living with cancer? Security is Harry's obsession, It has,
29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.840
he told the BBC, always been his number one issue.
30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.599
He claims it was withdrawn as a weapon to keep
31
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.840
him and his wife working as royals here in the UK.
32
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.239
An establishment stitch up, he calls it, And of course
33
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.120
we understand that anyone in the public eye, particularly a
34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.280
father of young children, will feel concerned. We all remember
35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.879
Diana and Paris, September nineteen ninety seven. Nobody wants to
36
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.480
repeat and why continually watch your family's dirty linen in
37
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.920
full public view? Whatever happened to that famous royal motto
38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.639
Never complain, never explain, at least not in public surely
39
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.280
an obsession with global media interviews. It just makes the
40
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.439
security risk even greater. More importantly, Harry still cannot understand
41
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.400
and maybe never will, just how spoiled his continual bleating
42
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.560
sounds to ordinary people up and down the UK. And
43
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.599
then we see this guy who's inherited so much money,
44
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.400
who earns millions through slagging off his own family, who
45
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.639
lives in the gorgeous Californian pad overlooking the sea, who
46
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.840
rubs his shoulders with a listers, and who travels around
47
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.280
in luxury moaning about how life is treated him so
48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.639
harshly in telling us how much he misses parts of
49
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.039
the UK? Which parts dare we ask? Oh? And one
50
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.240
more thing, if he genuinely wants a reconciliation, please Harry,
51
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.520
no more interviews, saying little or nothing is now your
52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.759
best hope. Then let time work its magic. In The Independent,
53
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.360
Hugo Vickers writes under the headline it is hard to
54
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.000
sympathize with Harry's latest interview, yet he's clear deeply troubled.
55
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.840
Prince Harry wasted one point five million pounds in legal
56
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.560
fees on his fight for security, which could have brought
57
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.479
him a lot of personal security or benefited his children.
58
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.879
Then he gave one of those interviews that members of
59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.080
the royal family occasionally unwisely take part in. In it,
60
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.360
he blamed everyone else, but never himself. He talked about forgiveness.
61
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:21.960
There are several things for which it is hard to
62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.439
forgive him. There is the deep distress that he caused
63
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.039
his grandmother, the Queen in the last months of her life,
64
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.039
when at the end of one of the most extraordinary
65
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.800
reigns in history, she should have been sailing towards sunlit uplands.
66
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.000
Then in his book, in his interviews, he hurled abuse
67
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080
at the King, Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales's brother
68
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.000
and mare. Besides, a lot of dirty laundry was aired
69
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.080
in public. He claims he wants to reconcile with his family,
70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.199
but then he muddies the waterway, claiming his father no
71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.680
longer speaks to him. If that is true, then it
72
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.680
is most likely that the King, who has been unwell,
73
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.080
does not feel up to facing a barrage of me
74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.439
me me complaints from his wayward son. The King is
75
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.840
a compassionate man who, even on Prince Harry's ghosted word,
76
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.919
begs his sons not to darken his later years with
77
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.280
interness and family warfare. The King has never responded to
78
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.840
any of the barbs thrown at him from across the pond.
79
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.120
He has left the door wide open. I doubt the
80
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.480
King will appreciate an update on his health from his son.
81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.839
In a week when he spoke optimistically and openly about
82
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.800
the effects of his cancer treatment, he claimed he wanted
83
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.959
privacy out of the spotlight, and yet he and his
84
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.279
wife seek the cameras at every turn. He wants to
85
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.680
protect his children, but his wife shows as clips of
86
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.879
the backs of their heads or the occasional sound bite
87
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.319
along with we love you mummy messages. There is nothing
88
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.680
to stop Prince Harry allowing them to see the King,
89
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.319
or indeed their other rejected grandfather. One day they will
90
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.839
grow up and realize what their parents have denied them.
91
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.439
It is hard to be sympathetic to Prince Harry, and
92
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.079
yet he is clearly a deeply troubled person. Though he
93
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.720
claims to love his Montecito existence, he must have bitter regrets.
94
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.519
He looks miserable. As a young working prince, he attracted
95
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.279
crowds of admirers, not dissimilar to Beatlemania. He played cricket
96
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.839
and football with ha youngsters on his overseas visits. They
97
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.079
loved him. The Queen gave him and his wife the
98
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.959
Commonwealth to work with. Not enough for them. They throw
99
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.480
it all away. Now he is merely assigned the occasional
100
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.959
walk on part in his wife's documentaries. No wonder he
101
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:21.279
misses his country palace. Intriguer were right back in the
102
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.240
Daily Mail, Maureen Callahan writes, And what can only be
103
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.639
described as a spectacularly dumb decision in a history of
104
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.120
dumb decisions, Harry wailed his way through yet another self
105
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.800
pitying interview, this time with the BBC on Friday. This
106
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.720
interview is a doozy. We begin with Harry, as ever
107
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.879
wink wink, blaming other people for his own poor decision
108
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.439
making in bringing this case to a UK courtroom. His lost,
109
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.959
Harry said, certainly has proven there was no way to
110
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.120
win this through the courts. I wish someone had told
111
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.000
me that beforehand. I'm willing to bet that no shortage
112
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.519
of lawyers could have told Harry he wouldn't win. But
113
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.560
obstinate as he is, would he have listened? God? He
114
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.480
is thick, just as his Sainted Mother Princess Diana said,
115
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.040
we have now entered a new stage of delusion, in
116
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.800
which Harry claims that while no longer a working royal,
117
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.319
he is the most important member of the Royal family because,
118
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.680
and the Office notes solid proof of this, he is
119
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.240
the most under threat from which forces or entities. He
120
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.399
will not specify it, but Harry walked right up to
121
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.839
saying that it's the British Royal family itself, insinuating that
122
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.839
they wish him grave harm. But despite suggesting that such
123
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.519
dark forces are plotting against him, Harry said he has
124
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.160
never once asked his father, the King, to intervene. Huh.
125
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.279
Either he's in fear for his life and the lives
126
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.519
of his wife and small children, or is not. This
127
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.279
would not be the kind of discussion one delays. If
128
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.879
this were true, how could Meghan be gallimanting in her garden,
129
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.839
flitting about on a cooking show, making the podcast rounds
130
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.879
and saying that her life and life with Harry has
131
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.120
never been better. By the way, if Harry really believes
132
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.439
that the Royals are arrayed against him, just as Meghan
133
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.319
claimed in that operh sit down, that royal life made
134
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.759
her suicidal, but she was denied. Help why cling to
135
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.680
the pompers titles, then the Abbot. If you'd like to
