Speaker 1: Calorogus Shark Media. Hello, welcome to Palace intrig again. Your
Speaker 1: host Mark Francis, a friend of the King's, told The
Speaker 1: Sunday Times Harry just sees conspiracy every time a decision
Speaker 1: doesn't go in his direction. He is like a gambler
Speaker 1: in a casino who can't walk away. He just doubles down.
Speaker 1: Even when he speaks of reconciliation, it is laced with
Speaker 1: threats and anger. It's not that the King won't speak
Speaker 1: to him, it's that he can't. How can you have
Speaker 1: a private and delicate conversation when you know it is
Speaker 1: going to end up on a news special within hours.
Speaker 1: Perhaps if you tried to earn rather than demand a reconciliation,
Speaker 1: things might go a little better for him. It's just
Speaker 1: very tragic. Robert Taylor, also in The Express, writes, there
Speaker 1: is so much that is so sad about the Duke
Speaker 1: of Sussex's latest failed legal battle and sob story BBC
Speaker 1: interview in which case must beg him with the best
Speaker 1: will in the world and using admittedly Unroyal language to
Speaker 1: just shut up. I can't put it any simpler than that.
Speaker 1: Every time he carries out an interview with the Bebe
Speaker 1: or Oprah, and every snide remark and every book he
Speaker 1: publishes just makes it yet more likely that the matters
Speaker 1: he claims to want to resolve with his once nearest
Speaker 1: and dearest will merely push them all further and further apart.
Speaker 1: How can he possibly plead for reconciliation with his family
Speaker 1: when he's done so much to undermine them. Is anyone
Speaker 1: who had just been punched in the face ready to
Speaker 1: reconcile themselves with the puncher, particularly when they're accused of
Speaker 1: racism or living with cancer? Security is Harry's obsession, It has,
Speaker 1: he told the BBC, always been his number one issue.
Speaker 1: He claims it was withdrawn as a weapon to keep
Speaker 1: him and his wife working as royals here in the UK.
Speaker 1: An establishment stitch up, he calls it, And of course
Speaker 1: we understand that anyone in the public eye, particularly a
Speaker 1: father of young children, will feel concerned. We all remember
Speaker 1: Diana and Paris, September nineteen ninety seven. Nobody wants to
Speaker 1: repeat and why continually watch your family's dirty linen in
Speaker 1: full public view? Whatever happened to that famous royal motto
Speaker 1: Never complain, never explain, at least not in public surely
Speaker 1: an obsession with global media interviews. It just makes the
Speaker 1: security risk even greater. More importantly, Harry still cannot understand
Speaker 1: and maybe never will, just how spoiled his continual bleating
Speaker 1: sounds to ordinary people up and down the UK. And
Speaker 1: then we see this guy who's inherited so much money,
Speaker 1: who earns millions through slagging off his own family, who
Speaker 1: lives in the gorgeous Californian pad overlooking the sea, who
Speaker 1: rubs his shoulders with a listers, and who travels around
Speaker 1: in luxury moaning about how life is treated him so
Speaker 1: harshly in telling us how much he misses parts of
Speaker 1: the UK? Which parts dare we ask? Oh? And one
Speaker 1: more thing, if he genuinely wants a reconciliation, please Harry,
Speaker 1: no more interviews, saying little or nothing is now your
Speaker 1: best hope. Then let time work its magic. In The Independent,
Speaker 1: Hugo Vickers writes under the headline it is hard to
Speaker 1: sympathize with Harry's latest interview, yet he's clear deeply troubled.
Speaker 1: Prince Harry wasted one point five million pounds in legal
Speaker 1: fees on his fight for security, which could have brought
Speaker 1: him a lot of personal security or benefited his children.
Speaker 1: Then he gave one of those interviews that members of
Speaker 1: the royal family occasionally unwisely take part in. In it,
Speaker 1: he blamed everyone else, but never himself. He talked about forgiveness.
Speaker 1: There are several things for which it is hard to
Speaker 1: forgive him. There is the deep distress that he caused
Speaker 1: his grandmother, the Queen in the last months of her life,
Speaker 1: when at the end of one of the most extraordinary
Speaker 1: reigns in history, she should have been sailing towards sunlit uplands.
Speaker 1: Then in his book, in his interviews, he hurled abuse
Speaker 1: at the King, Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales's brother
Speaker 1: and mare. Besides, a lot of dirty laundry was aired
Speaker 1: in public. He claims he wants to reconcile with his family,
Speaker 1: but then he muddies the waterway, claiming his father no
Speaker 1: longer speaks to him. If that is true, then it
Speaker 1: is most likely that the King, who has been unwell,
Speaker 1: does not feel up to facing a barrage of me
Speaker 1: me me complaints from his wayward son. The King is
Speaker 1: a compassionate man who, even on Prince Harry's ghosted word,
Speaker 1: begs his sons not to darken his later years with
Speaker 1: interness and family warfare. The King has never responded to
Speaker 1: any of the barbs thrown at him from across the pond.
Speaker 1: He has left the door wide open. I doubt the
Speaker 1: King will appreciate an update on his health from his son.
Speaker 1: In a week when he spoke optimistically and openly about
Speaker 1: the effects of his cancer treatment, he claimed he wanted
Speaker 1: privacy out of the spotlight, and yet he and his
Speaker 1: wife seek the cameras at every turn. He wants to
Speaker 1: protect his children, but his wife shows as clips of
Speaker 1: the backs of their heads or the occasional sound bite
Speaker 1: along with we love you mummy messages. There is nothing
Speaker 1: to stop Prince Harry allowing them to see the King,
Speaker 1: or indeed their other rejected grandfather. One day they will
Speaker 1: grow up and realize what their parents have denied them.
Speaker 1: It is hard to be sympathetic to Prince Harry, and
Speaker 1: yet he is clearly a deeply troubled person. Though he
Speaker 1: claims to love his Montecito existence, he must have bitter regrets.
Speaker 1: He looks miserable. As a young working prince, he attracted
Speaker 1: crowds of admirers, not dissimilar to Beatlemania. He played cricket
Speaker 1: and football with ha youngsters on his overseas visits. They
Speaker 1: loved him. The Queen gave him and his wife the
Speaker 1: Commonwealth to work with. Not enough for them. They throw
Speaker 1: it all away. Now he is merely assigned the occasional
Speaker 1: walk on part in his wife's documentaries. No wonder he
Speaker 1: misses his country palace. Intriguer were right back in the
Speaker 1: Daily Mail, Maureen Callahan writes, And what can only be
Speaker 1: described as a spectacularly dumb decision in a history of
Speaker 1: dumb decisions, Harry wailed his way through yet another self
Speaker 1: pitying interview, this time with the BBC on Friday. This
Speaker 1: interview is a doozy. We begin with Harry, as ever
Speaker 1: wink wink, blaming other people for his own poor decision
Speaker 1: making in bringing this case to a UK courtroom. His lost,
Speaker 1: Harry said, certainly has proven there was no way to
Speaker 1: win this through the courts. I wish someone had told
Speaker 1: me that beforehand. I'm willing to bet that no shortage
Speaker 1: of lawyers could have told Harry he wouldn't win. But
Speaker 1: obstinate as he is, would he have listened? God? He
Speaker 1: is thick, just as his Sainted Mother Princess Diana said,
Speaker 1: we have now entered a new stage of delusion, in
Speaker 1: which Harry claims that while no longer a working royal,
Speaker 1: he is the most important member of the Royal family because,
Speaker 1: and the Office notes solid proof of this, he is
Speaker 1: the most under threat from which forces or entities. He
Speaker 1: will not specify it, but Harry walked right up to
Speaker 1: saying that it's the British Royal family itself, insinuating that
Speaker 1: they wish him grave harm. But despite suggesting that such
Speaker 1: dark forces are plotting against him, Harry said he has
Speaker 1: never once asked his father, the King, to intervene. Huh.
Speaker 1: Either he's in fear for his life and the lives
Speaker 1: of his wife and small children, or is not. This
Speaker 1: would not be the kind of discussion one delays. If
Speaker 1: this were true, how could Meghan be gallimanting in her garden,
Speaker 1: flitting about on a cooking show, making the podcast rounds
Speaker 1: and saying that her life and life with Harry has
Speaker 1: never been better. By the way, if Harry really believes
Speaker 1: that the Royals are arrayed against him, just as Meghan
Speaker 1: claimed in that operh sit down, that royal life made
Speaker 1: her suicidal, but she was denied. Help why cling to
Speaker 1: the pompers titles, then the Abbot. If you'd like to
