As of American I am appalled by the lack of respect for King Charles and Prince William and the whole family these two people should just stay in montecito and not bother to ruin anything about the coronation

[@airplane1831]

A senior British Army officer stated to the press several years ago the 'Harry doesn't have the aptitude to be an Apache helicopter pilot'. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a Royal family member, then he would never have been allowed to be an army officer. Several weeks after finishing his training at Sandhurst, it was in the newspapers that Harry turned up for work late and drunk. I once met the warrant officer who gave him a dressing down for this. He openly told me that he didn't like Harry at all. By contrast he told me that he liked William a lot and that he carried 'no Aires or graces' when ever he met him.

[@trishaharding4682]

When he took the entrance exam for Sandhurst the examiners were "shocked at his childish answers". Referenc: Tom Bower's book "Revenge".

Well said. The King is our Head of State & whatever Henry & wife are trying to do will end in disaster for them, as they will never be able to bring down the Monarchy which has been in existence for 1600 years. Diana smeared Charles's name whilst eating his bread & salt, Fergie embarrassed the Royal Family with her topeless toe sucking antics with John Bryant when Andrew was defending the UK at naval service & now Harry with his victimhood antics, despite his privileged upbringing & a retired Captain of the Army - shows the absence of allegiance & ethics when Charles & the Queen made concessions for Harry all through his life & now a Monster has been created whose main motivation is ££££ to satisfy his wife I guess???

I use to despise Camilla for what she and Charles did to Diana.

The same for Kate she stuck through because of her love for William. Meghan didn't love Harry enough to stick she insisted he change his life for her...Meghan loves Meghan and that's all I now despise Meghan for her selfishness. If she even loved him at all she would especially not want to ruin everything around him as well as the man he was...she has destroyed everything and it's nothing but lies... I'm american and don't understand all of this but I respect the institution and the tradition. I loved the queen and I think it's so embarrassing for her (Meghan) to claim she represents us. She is the opposite of my views on the family. I would love to have an opportunity to serve the public and to do the charity work the monarchy does...what a life to be able to serve others and have the support to do it. She blew it...the perfect opportunity for a wonderful life.

I personally [if I were King Charles] would require Harry to return to UK for "talks", be "collected" by Military Police at the airport, taken to the Tower of London, to reside awhile as traitor until well after the Coronation, and to face a lineup of psychiatrists for his behaviour. He is clearly very unwell, on top of his being none too bright and in the clutches of a very disturbed narcissist.

Steven Edginton is a fantastic interviewer and I believe we will be seeing a lot more of him - I have watched many interviews by him> i find him very likeable, professional, thoughtful and humble - as he never interrupts his guests or tries to one-up them (too many interviewers these days believe they know more about everything than their guests do.)

I may not complete this interview now, may return; but want to go on record to say as an American, I am so impressed with this gentleman’s comments. So sensible, so down to earth, assessing what has transpired in this Royal family. So believable and wise in his approach!! What has occurred and will continue because Prince Harry chose the print media to spread his what appears to be vitriolic attacks. I would hope for a large British viewing audience to watch and be comforted and encouraged by this calming approach. Righteousness will prevail. The late Queen laid the foundation for this belief.

It was a pleasure actually to see and hear him for the first time, especially since I welcomed very nearly everything he said -- even on the subject of the (crosses self) NHS. And for the record: Every American I know, including myself, is in full -- indeed, emphatic -- accord with his reflections on Prince Harry/Meghan Markle and the new King and Queen Consort. A splendid interview and civilized three-quarters of an hour. Thanks!

[@beverleyevans4836]

For some of us of a certain age in the UK we struggle to reconcile what he is saying. There is no doubt his mum was pursued relentlessly by the paparazzi. Harry was certainly criticised in the media for his numerous indiscretions however most people in the UK don’t recognise that their experience is anything like his mothers. However I think that’s what they are trying to project. Harry comes over as being ill. None of us recognise him since he met his wife. His press was excellent before she came on the scene though he tries now to say different. Now he seems unhappy I’ve seen videos with his father brother and sister in law where he was happy and clearly had a good relationship with them and said that There are numerous videos of him saying the polar opposite of what he now says. I despair of him. Meghan has been a terrible influence on him .

[@annsmith7207]

Harry has become a modern day Judas: Money over family, country, military service a complete lack of an ethical and moral compass. His depth of betrayal is staggering. At one point Harry says; I love my brother deeply” and “none of what I have written is intended to hurt my family” WHAT? That is the exact intent or he would have managed this privately with a therapist. Harry’s inability to comprehend or “act” as though he is unaware that behavior and words have serious consequences is astounding. The disconnect or “acting” as though there is a disconnect says it all. ENOUGH! Harry needs to stop the endless public litany of grievances over his lifetime and work with a therapist who can address his trauma and grief….if Harry actually wants help. Either that or he will be one very embittered human being and those closest to him will suffer the consequences. This is getting very old -- the public can not heal him and frankly, Harry is becoming a bore. Get into therapy Harry and leave the public out of it. Enough!

Great interview. Calm and considered. As a Kiwi, how Harry and Meghan are behaving has made me more supportive of Britain and the Royal family. Feeling deeply for everyone, especially the family who are now being pestered by the press for comments on Harry's vacuous work of fiction. And agree regarding Lady Hussey. That woman targeted her. A woman who is dishonest, a Markle fan and, by the looks, a fraudster if the investigation proves it. We have a Russian friend who's been here for 10 years. He used to do computer stuff for a company that did things for the Russian military. Before the war in Ukraine began, he received "Oh, come home for a paid holiday!" type email. He ignored it. He received that from the Russian embassy here. Now? He's receiving emails demanding he return home to fight. He's ignoring those too. He genuinely feels that due to his past work there, if he went back, he'd "disappear". That is frightening.

[@tombarnett6467]

How refreshing to hear someone from the right of British politics express opinions, which are so considered, pragmatic and reasonable. As someone on the left, I may disagree with much of what he said but at least he has thought seriously about what he thinks is best for our country. Among today's self-serving, corrupt Tories - and especially since Johnson's 2019 purge of Tory talent - this has become a rare thing. Heffer expressed genuine conservative philosophy, which the Conservative Party themselves have abandoned in recent years.
