Harry: The Interview

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 am surprised at the number of people who have developed a toxic attitude to Harry & Meghan to the point they refuse to watch their Netflix doco series, and probably this interview (and boycott his forthcoming book), based on tabloid sensationalism and confirmation bias via social media.

Indicative of the times - and human nature - I guess.

I suspect there would probably be a subconscious element of fear of not wanting to hear something that might cause them to change their mind by listening directly to the main protagonists.

Ostriches.

Those who rate this interview poorly probably belong to that mindset as it is hard to fault someone who has risked so much for his wife and children - and his own mental well-being - and wears his heart on his sleeve in this exposé. Those unmoved by such a story would have to have hearts of stone.

Even the naysayers should fight through their prejudices and confirmation bias and watch this with an open mind. It might just change your opinion of Harry and Meghan ... and indeed, others in the Royal family - the latter, not so much in a good way.

I struggled to watch this all the way to the end as it was toe curling to watch Harry seemingly convinced that the world revolves around him and his wife, news flash for him, it doesn't. It was just as bad as expected, as he seems to be unaware of the wise saying, when in a hole stop digging. The race card is played a lot, for the millionth time it seems, as it suits (ho ho) them to do so. When I first saw Meghan on TV with Harry a few years ago I remained unaware that she was bi-racial only becoming aware when some told me that she was. Harry and his overbearing wife are experts at making world salads as very little of what they say actually makes any sense. I look forward to King Charles stripping them both of their titles. The book "Finding Freedom", borrowed from someone, drew them in a very bad light, as has this film, and I have no doubt that his book "Spare" will make them look even worse. I am half way through "Spare", borrowed from someone, and Harry has done himself no favours. About a third of the way through it I had to take a break from it and I read Audie Murphy's autobiography "To Hell and Back" about his service in WWII. Audie was a real man and the most decorated American soldier of WWII at the age of just 19. Audie mentions none of his medals in his book. Harry is just a silly wee spoiled whiny boy by comparison.

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.
