This will be cringeworthy

I have decided to give this one a watch, I think it will be car crash not in the way Andrews was as he was asked awkward questions, but in as much as poor old Tom selling his journalistic soul to ask the least awkward questions possible :hee:

After all it was Tom who served up Megs 'no body asks me how I am' line after a harrowing segment on how girls have to protect themselves from rape in SA

That's not what happened though, Meghan tried repeatedly to contact Gammon Markle but he wouldn't answer her calls and was ignoring texts, and when they did get messages back they didn't sound like him and had an official tone (i.e. they were probably written by his lawyer).

You didnt even watch the fantastic Netflix documentary, did you.

In terms of The Queen and Philip I agree the timing of all of this was unfortunate, but what is someone in that situation supposed to do? It wasn't known when their deaths would be, they weren't in end of life care, but they were very elderly so... was he just supposed to wait an indeterminate period of time for them to die before he could say anything? How long should he have waited? A year? Two years? Five?

"your Highness, can you tell me why you are just so compassionate?"

I suspect you think it'll be awkward because you believe the UK press and Social Media Rabid Royalist narrative that there's an endless list of "gotcha!" questions that will catch Harry out.

I believe that he'll have calm and rational answers to those questions.

Of course, I also believe that the above groups will then shriek "MOAR LIEZ!!!"

There is no need for press gotchas, he has hoisted himself on his own petard and shown up his own lies in Spare

He called a therapist after his necklace got broken but had no idea where to turn for suicidal Megs.. how likely do you feel that is to be true?

and worst of all Big Willys bedroom was bigger than his :bawling: does it get any more traumatising I ask from my box room :fist:

It helps, them
get money flowing into their pockets

Like Oprah....their reputation as journalists/reporters/interviewer is well and truly damage because they fail to ask the questions to get the answers we really want to hear....not licking their arse and getting no where.

We need Louis Theroux or Jan Moir...

I mean doesnt the eldest always get the biggest bedroom???

Weren't Harry and Tom mates at Eton?

Yes, this is why it is such a long interview
9PM until 10:35PM



Happy Young Harry at Eton

Excited for this tonight :amazed:

Have you got some popcorn?

I shan't be watching this interview.
I'm fed up of the whole thing.

All I'll say is the book was a wrong move.
Whoever has advised him on that book has made things far worse.
However he's lost me on the military action reveal.
That's part of the final straw for me.

I'll get ready to watch Mary Queen of Scots film instead on TV at 10pm.
Despite her bad decisions and judgements, she is and always will be a historical heroine of mine.

Yup…there is something gravitating to watch someone dig their own grave…:laugh:

That was Meghan’s version and we all know what Meghan’s versions of events are like, don’t we? Recollections vary. That was 3 years ago and she has frozen him out to this day, even when he had a stroke. Cruel, unforgiving woman.
Was Harry supposed to wait? Yes. His grandfather was actually dying, his grandmother was ill. Does it seem impossible to you that anyone might care more about their frail grandparents they say they adore than their own petty grievances? Harry has a whole life ahead of him, his grandparents didn’t.

Harry will know exactly what he is going to be asked by his friend and will be well prepared for any so - called 'tough' questions. :hee:

The bike chain, remove one of the links and it wouldn’t of happened
The only thing he mentions is the press
What about removing a drunk driver
What about removing the speed
What about his mum wearing a seat belt

I only caught the last half hour, Tom did a better job than I anticipated and asked some searching questions.

What most shocked me is that Harry said the family are not racist but it was unconcious bias, somebody needs to tell Ophrahs face ...:laugh:

I watched the interview, he came across alright.

….and even after a few drinks you wouldn’t lose control :shrug:

His brother mentioned the sacred words…looking right into his eyes…but he didn’t believe him…

The mention on Oprah about his baby’s skin colour had nothing to do with Racism…it was the press that turned it into that…so what was the point of the comment???

His family have been feeding the press negative stories about him for years…that’s why he got out…he fled for his life!!!

We are supposed to believe this garbage :laugh:

It’s a prick

I don't like him, never will, but he came across ok on the whole.

First impressions:

Members of the family have apparently been feeding bad bad stories about them, especially in the last 3 years - all I've heard is 'recollections may vary'. Not one example of these bad stories was given.

All this while H&M have been just trying to live their lives and the bad bad press do nothing but talk about them, er, Harry, - Oprah interview, interviews in US mags, Netflix doc, a book, more interviews. The press report what comes out of their mouths, not what the Royals are saying.
There was no real depth there at all - a lot passed over - no follow up questioning of the Meghan bullying allegations for example and when Tom did go in a bit on him, Harry got a bit ratty. Nothing new from what he always comes off with - he and Meghan are victims. The old one sided story continued.

It was also interesting to hear his take on Susan Hussey....

To sum up harry
I’m seeing a therapist but there is nothing wrong with me it’s my family that are in the wrong

His brother poured his heart out to him on the day of their nans funeral only for harry to dismiss it as a lie.

He even used the ‘code’ making him look him in the eye….but it still wasn’t good enough…
Because they want to play the victims…and then says no one has reached out. If that wasn’t a ‘reach out’ then what more does he want.
He is goading for a public response….he knows he won’t get it so he will just keep prodding and hoping the ‘silence’ from his father and William will be portrayed as guilt.

I mean you can see he is repeating everything these therapists are feeding him…

He did just say, im watching on record, that's he's not stuck in the past.....Hmmm???

He said driving at speed while having a few drinks wouldn’t cause a crash

It wasn’t good enough because he knew William didn’t mean it. Were you listening or is your blind hatred causing you to dismiss everything?

From the interview we can pretty much dismiss everything that comes from royal/palace insiders which is basically 99% of all stories about the pair of them.

William and Kate aren’t the innocent sweet couple everyone thinks they are and as I suspected, didn’t make Meghan feel at all welcome. We knew it was Kate that made Meghan cry over bridesmaids dresses. At least she had the decency to apologise and bring flowers.

William is an awful person, which I have long suspected. A vicious bad tempered bully by the sounds of it. He’s lucky he has a brother willing to forgive his actions.

What he said about Charles was pretty much on the money. Camilla also.

Tom is a good interviewer
of course easy for him
as he has been given the advanced book to read.

For many
no need to buy the book.

The Driver of Diana's car was drunk.
not sure why he ignores that.

To everyone
that driver killed Diana

Harry: The Interview, ITV - ‘It was a strong interview but unpleasant to watch’
Tom Bradby came with a journalist’s agenda and, politely, began to question what he was hearing from Prince Harry
ByAnita Singh,

Prince Harry has been in therapy for years, and Harry: The Interview made one thing clear: it hasn’t solved his anger issues.
“I’m in such a good headspace now. The reality is, I’ve never been happier,” he said at the end, but the programme told a different story. Furious, defensive and just plain sad, it was a difficult watch for those of us who had hoped that life in Montecito might bring Harry the peace he claims to crave.

To all the historic reasons for that anger, Harry can now add Tom Bradby, chosen by the Sussexes as a friendly face (it was Bradby who spoke to Meghan on the couple’s South Africa tour and asked her, kindly, if she was doing OK). Harry appeared to have turned up for this interview in the belief that Bradby would merely be a conduit for his grievances, a way to deliver them unfiltered to a British television audience.

But Bradby came with a journalist’s agenda and, politely, began to question what he was hearing. With every suggestion he made - that the Royal family will be reeling from the disclosures of their private conversations in Harry’s memoir, that Harry hadn’t so much burned his bridges as “taken a flamethrower to them” - the interview became testier. Harry’s face grew pinker.

He seemed incredulous that someone was challenging his narrative. Bradby ventured that William might view the breakdown in the sibling relationship differently - “I think he would say he found you emotional, defensive, he couldn’t get through to you…” Harry glared at Bradby. “It’s quite a list of assumptions you’re making,” he seethed....

......Bradby attempted to lighten the tone by bringing up the chapter in which Harry talks about losing his virginity. “It’s four lines or something,” Harry said dismissively. “We can talk about you losing your virginity if you want.” Well, no, because Tom Bradby hasn’t just spilled the details of his first sexual encounter for all the world to read.

So in terms of scoops the interview had little to recommend it, because every bit of the book had been done to death. As a psychological study, though, it was grimly fascinating. Nothing is Harry’s fault, and almost everything can be blamed on the press. He mentioned the tabloids more times than I could count, with a relentlessness that bordered on the obsessive....

It was a strong interview but unpleasant to watch. Bradby looked exhausted by the end. Although I do suspect that, after this interview, he will be back on the Buckingham Palace Christmas card list.
