00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Calorogus Shark Media. Hello, welcome to Palace intrig again. Your

2
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>host Mark Francis, a friend of the King's, told The

3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Sunday Times Harry just sees conspiracy every time a decision

4
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.839
<v Speaker 1>doesn't go in his direction. He is like a gambler

5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>in a casino who can't walk away. He just doubles down.

6
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Even when he speaks of reconciliation, it is laced with

7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>threats and anger. It's not that the King won't speak

8
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to him, it's that he can't. How can you have

9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>a private and delicate conversation when you know it is

10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.719
<v Speaker 1>going to end up on a news special within hours.

11
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps if you tried to earn rather than demand a reconciliation,

12
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>things might go a little better for him. It's just

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>very tragic. Robert Taylor, also in The Express, writes, there

14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>is so much that is so sad about the Duke

15
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 1>of Sussex's latest failed legal battle and sob story BBC

16
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 1>interview in which case must beg him with the best

17
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>will in the world and using admittedly Unroyal language to

18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 1>just shut up. I can't put it any simpler than that.

19
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Every time he carries out an interview with the Bebe

20
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>or Oprah, and every snide remark and every book he

21
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>publishes just makes it yet more likely that the matters

22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 1>he claims to want to resolve with his once nearest

23
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and dearest will merely push them all further and further apart.

24
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>How can he possibly plead for reconciliation with his family

25
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>when he's done so much to undermine them. Is anyone

26
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 1>who had just been punched in the face ready to

27
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>reconcile themselves with the puncher, particularly when they're accused of

28
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 1>racism or living with cancer? Security is Harry's obsession, It has,

29
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>he told the BBC, always been his number one issue.

30
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>He claims it was withdrawn as a weapon to keep

31
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>him and his wife working as royals here in the UK.

32
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>An establishment stitch up, he calls it, And of course

33
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>we understand that anyone in the public eye, particularly a

34
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>father of young children, will feel concerned. We all remember

35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Diana and Paris, September nineteen ninety seven. Nobody wants to

36
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>repeat and why continually watch your family's dirty linen in

37
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>full public view? Whatever happened to that famous royal motto

38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Never complain, never explain, at least not in public surely

39
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>an obsession with global media interviews. It just makes the

40
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:17.439
<v Speaker 1>security risk even greater. More importantly, Harry still cannot understand

41
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>and maybe never will, just how spoiled his continual bleating

42
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>sounds to ordinary people up and down the UK. And

43
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.599
<v Speaker 1>then we see this guy who's inherited so much money,

44
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>who earns millions through slagging off his own family, who

45
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>lives in the gorgeous Californian pad overlooking the sea, who

46
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>rubs his shoulders with a listers, and who travels around

47
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>in luxury moaning about how life is treated him so

48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>harshly in telling us how much he misses parts of

49
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the UK? Which parts dare we ask? Oh? And one

50
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 1>more thing, if he genuinely wants a reconciliation, please Harry,

51
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>no more interviews, saying little or nothing is now your

52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>best hope. Then let time work its magic. In The Independent,

53
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Hugo Vickers writes under the headline it is hard to

54
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>sympathize with Harry's latest interview, yet he's clear deeply troubled.

55
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Prince Harry wasted one point five million pounds in legal

56
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>fees on his fight for security, which could have brought

57
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.479
<v Speaker 1>him a lot of personal security or benefited his children.

58
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Then he gave one of those interviews that members of

59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the royal family occasionally unwisely take part in. In it,

60
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>he blamed everyone else, but never himself. He talked about forgiveness.

61
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>There are several things for which it is hard to

62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 1>forgive him. There is the deep distress that he caused

63
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 1>his grandmother, the Queen in the last months of her life,

64
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>when at the end of one of the most extraordinary

65
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>reigns in history, she should have been sailing towards sunlit uplands.

66
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Then in his book, in his interviews, he hurled abuse

67
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>at the King, Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales's brother

68
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and mare. Besides, a lot of dirty laundry was aired

69
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in public. He claims he wants to reconcile with his family,

70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.199
<v Speaker 1>but then he muddies the waterway, claiming his father no

71
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>longer speaks to him. If that is true, then it

72
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is most likely that the King, who has been unwell,

73
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>does not feel up to facing a barrage of me

74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.439
<v Speaker 1>me me complaints from his wayward son. The King is

75
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>a compassionate man who, even on Prince Harry's ghosted word,

76
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>begs his sons not to darken his later years with

77
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>interness and family warfare. The King has never responded to

78
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 1>any of the barbs thrown at him from across the pond.

79
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>He has left the door wide open. I doubt the

80
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>King will appreciate an update on his health from his son.

81
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>In a week when he spoke optimistically and openly about

82
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the effects of his cancer treatment, he claimed he wanted

83
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 1>privacy out of the spotlight, and yet he and his

84
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>wife seek the cameras at every turn. He wants to

85
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>protect his children, but his wife shows as clips of

86
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 1>the backs of their heads or the occasional sound bite

87
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 1>along with we love you mummy messages. There is nothing

88
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to stop Prince Harry allowing them to see the King,

89
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>or indeed their other rejected grandfather. One day they will

90
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>grow up and realize what their parents have denied them.

91
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>It is hard to be sympathetic to Prince Harry, and

92
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 1>yet he is clearly a deeply troubled person. Though he

93
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>claims to love his Montecito existence, he must have bitter regrets.

94
00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>He looks miserable. As a young working prince, he attracted

95
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>crowds of admirers, not dissimilar to Beatlemania. He played cricket

96
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 1>and football with ha youngsters on his overseas visits. They

97
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 1>loved him. The Queen gave him and his wife the

98
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Commonwealth to work with. Not enough for them. They throw

99
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>it all away. Now he is merely assigned the occasional

100
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 1>walk on part in his wife's documentaries. No wonder he

101
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 1>misses his country palace. Intriguer were right back in the

102
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Daily Mail, Maureen Callahan writes, And what can only be

103
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 1>described as a spectacularly dumb decision in a history of

104
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>dumb decisions, Harry wailed his way through yet another self

105
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pitying interview, this time with the BBC on Friday. This

106
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>interview is a doozy. We begin with Harry, as ever

107
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 1>wink wink, blaming other people for his own poor decision

108
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>making in bringing this case to a UK courtroom. His lost,

109
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 1>Harry said, certainly has proven there was no way to

110
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>win this through the courts. I wish someone had told

111
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>me that beforehand. I'm willing to bet that no shortage

112
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>of lawyers could have told Harry he wouldn't win. But

113
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>obstinate as he is, would he have listened? God? He

114
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is thick, just as his Sainted Mother Princess Diana said,

115
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>we have now entered a new stage of delusion, in

116
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>which Harry claims that while no longer a working royal,

117
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 1>he is the most important member of the Royal family because,

118
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Office notes solid proof of this, he is

119
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the most under threat from which forces or entities. He

120
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 1>will not specify it, but Harry walked right up to

121
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 1>saying that it's the British Royal family itself, insinuating that

122
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>they wish him grave harm. But despite suggesting that such

123
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.519
<v Speaker 1>dark forces are plotting against him, Harry said he has

124
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>never once asked his father, the King, to intervene. Huh.

125
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Either he's in fear for his life and the lives

126
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.519
<v Speaker 1>of his wife and small children, or is not. This

127
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>would not be the kind of discussion one delays. If

128
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.879
<v Speaker 1>this were true, how could Meghan be gallimanting in her garden,

129
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>flitting about on a cooking show, making the podcast rounds

130
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>and saying that her life and life with Harry has

131
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>never been better. By the way, if Harry really believes

132
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>that the Royals are arrayed against him, just as Meghan

133
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 1>claimed in that operh sit down, that royal life made

134
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 1>her suicidal, but she was denied. Help why cling to

135
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the pompers titles, then the Abbot. If you'd like to
