Harry gone full Chris Kyle stating how many people he killed. Must have seen how much money he made talking about his kills in his book.

Inside one of America’s most select clubs, the tally known as "confirmed kills" is revered yet rarely discussed — meant to be carried silently, worn proudly and certainly never hyped.


“It’s an intimate kill,” said Brandon Webb, an ex-sniper and former Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. “I’ve dropped plenty of bombs on people in Afghanistan. I don’t count that as a confirmed kill. It’s a very personal thing to pull a trigger and take someone’s life."

Except if it's Harry, then you need to tell the world so as to sell more of your books.

Guessing you haven't read the excerpt to appreciate the context.

I imagine the lad’s mental health is an absolute casserole.

While I agree he is making a fool of himself, people with sound mental health rarely do such things as publicly as this.

He needs to find someone trustworthy to guide him away from all this bother.

I rather feel for the bloke.

He's been royally chewed up and spat out, by the institution that should've helped him, instead they've closed ranks in order to protect the image.
Harry is better off without them IMO

Seems to me there are two camps at play here. Those who are open minded to the context, the people, the empathies and fragilities of life and those who are absolutist and will defend/attack to serve their purpose. I admire the former but must say I’m leaning in to the latter camp on this enjoying the establishment undermining itself.

we dont know the royal family didnt help, only their say. as far as we know Harry & Megan wanted to be independent, so they had to make a choice of their future role. same choice for others in the past, not personal. they chose out, but didnt really like what it meant. then started airing their personal grievances in public, for money, making a soap opera of their life and burning another bridge with every revelation, instead of quietly trying to seek reconciliation. now they are whinging how they have been cut off, shut out, etc.

No one really knows what went on, but you can read between the lines and see that the royals always revert back to type when there is a crisis looming.
The royals have always been a soap opera and nothing will change.
When Fergie and Diana entered the fray, they didn't fit the mould and Meghan was in the same boat.
You don't really need to be pro or against the royals, it's just bullying plain and simple :shrug:

Watching the interview tonight, I think that Harry is trying to destroy the royal family. I think it’s what his Mum would have wanted and I think it’s brilliant.
Huge viewing figures, so sad to see how he has been treated.

He is charming, articulate, and – unless the Windsor clan has reared a world-class actor – telling us the truth. In PR terms, it will surely serve its purpose. The book will sell in its millions, his story will appeal to the younger demographic, bolster his celebrity and maybe allow him a more manageable kind of fame than the one he was born into – which is probably his best hope at this point.

Let's be honest, none of KNOWS how he has been treated, and none of us KNOWS if he is telling the truth.

The only thing we do KNOW is what he says.

And also try and take the non-dom press down a peg or two. Just 2 weeks ago they were printing hate speech on Megan. Buck Palace silent as usual

The press have leant nothing from 1997, they remain the root of many of our ills in this country today.

Not easy to lead a quiet life when the Royals are a professional PR outlet that leak and sow what they need to in the press for their own gain.

What exactly will his " celebrity " and " fame" be based on? The royal family which is the thing he so despises and wants to distance himself from. Bit of a paradox there.
