Harry: The Interview

As Chandler Bing once said - "can open, worms everywhere".

Prince Harry doesn't just open the can he drops a word bomb right over the Royal Family and then sees what will happen next.

Is he misguided? Is he just speaking the facts from his side of things? Either way ITV seemed to think he was worth listening to, bumping their ratings hit 'Midsummer Murders' to make way for it at the very last minute.

The book will sell copies by the million, Prince Harry hopefully will have the good grace to let the words soak in a bit before launching the next round.

He may want to come to a resolution, but right now that doesn't look likely.

I know of not a single in depth interview, by a major Royal, that the Royal comes out well, after it's broadcast. I watched the Prince Andrew one, as I did both Diane, and the Prince Charles interviews. All great insights, and highly entertaining. Problem is the "devil will cite scripture for his own purposes". And they will, they of course being the media - all shapes and sizes.

So Harry is candid, a little naive and certainly a little precious, but he is a bright able fellow. This interview, is if viewed, from a neutral posture, is entertaining, with one or two awkward moments. Yet, of course, I'm afraid Harry runs the risk of being seen as a pious, privileged, pissy, ginger whinger.

Who couldn't wish Harry, Megan and the kids, well (maybe not - 25 families in Afghanistan...) ? The test of this programme, however, will be determined by the global media. It's provides a massive resource for them to paint this family, as they will. The pendulum at the time of broadcast is not in the families favour. But of course pendulums swing ...

Good watch, and good luck Harry and family....

I for one have not been a fan of the couple's continuous circus over the past few years.

Here's a simple equation to consider.

Is it the entire royal family? Is it all Meghan's family?

Or is it one person? The other being too close to be subjective.

I did watch this all the way through and I also feel more compassion for Harry now than before. I truly believe he thinks he's doing the right thing. He also has his wife in his ear and no doubt surrounded by a bunch of self serving sycophants who are giving him bad advice, or at least not challenging him or them in any way.

Having said that, he's very clear on his path and one can hardly blame him given the English press' horrendous reputation (like most media to be fair), plus what happened with his poor mother. He's imbued with persecution complex fueled by Meghan, who also has her own persecution paranoias. If he thinks taking them on in multiple lawsuits is going to be good for him and the world, then he's wrong. For people who are already so overwhelming sensitive when it comes to others and public perception then lawsuits and public battles will be detrimental to their own mental wellbeing. Time will tell.

I do feel for the guy but airing your dirty laundry in this way, continuously, is not the way to bring reconciliation with your family. If he thinks this will help, he's sadly deluded. He may have irretrievably damaged all relationships with his family.

They will be unable to respond to this in any way. It's bad enough already. And there's really no recourse for them other than to simply keep quiet. They must be fuming and who could blame them.

So far, it's all been one way.

In all these type of situations, you simply have to look at the numbers. Is it the whole world against you or is it one person, or couple? A couple is as good as one person as they always share the same views. Harry's trying to shield his family as any good man does but the damage was really done way back when he first began dating her. He was too close to see the red flags that others certainly did.

It was a thorough and decent interview. It's just sad to see a good person destroy his life.

'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.'

I'm so happy for Harry.. finally he can express himself... finally he's free and above all finally he's happy... I've been waiting for this since his mum died.

Soldier Harry stood up and saved the lives of his wife and son. That's wonderful. I was very worried in 2019...I was afraid that he would sacrifice Meghan and their baby for this family and this country like all the other men in his family did. He pleasantly surprised me and we all jumped for joy when he decided to leave.

Seeing all he accomplished in my lifetime is wonderful...too bad no one, no one in this country (which is now an ally of the Taliban) helped Diana back then. Also disturbing to learn that the firm and the government told him not to look further into the circumstances of Diana's death.

Sorry, not on my top 10 list. I really struggled to watch this interview to the end, it was so boring. It is basically a regurgitation of any interview Harry has done. I don't think the interview was hard hitting at all. No punches pulled by the interviewer regarding Harry's hatred of the press, while Harry and Meghan continuously do interviews and draw attention to themselves. The interviewer obviously got a list of questions ahead of time that were approved.

Spare yourselves and skip watching this interview. It's pretty hard to listen to someone who has never really wanted for much to complain about everything. After watching this interview, I will definitely spare myself from Spare.
