He’s the biggest ass not to listen to the Queen , by not listening to her, after all she had done for him and his wife Megxit. She knew on her dying day exactly what and who The Harkels were. He hurt her to the core and sent her to an early grave. He Harry should not forgive himself ever. He will have to live with this grief and know that he will never be forgiven and the disgusting, traitorous way he treated her at the very end of her life. She knew what they were together and apart, as she told her last wishes to Charles and Anne. He may die penniless and unforgiven, and have to live with that horrible sense of failure and being a traitor to the Queen until her last dying breath. He doesn’t believe in God and his (allegedly) wife surrogate daughter not baptized in an Protestant Chuch, with 3 godparents and be named a Christian name at the time of baptism. Records need to be checked on this, because they both said in an interview with Oprah and 60 minutes that they didn’t believe in the Christian teachings and that Harry was going to come back as a animal and Megxit didn’t know if there was a Heaven. Strange, because they couldn’t prove anything of the Christening and the proper rules of the😢 Church of England. There are so many unknowns and untruths, that need to be sure that this girl was properly baptized, or otherwise she will not be a Princess and legalities will need to be brought in to straighten this out. No one has seen the birth certificate, and l think there are some illegalities and game playing behind other people’s backs.

That’s incorrect. Harry had spoken on the phone with his grandmother and asked to come to Balmoral and did she have time from her schedule to spend a few days together and the Queen said yes. That there weren’t any engagements that week and she wanted him to come. But when the time came he was told that her schedule was too filled for her to visit with him. He was confused and spoke to the Queen who told him that she would be busy. So the family decided for her that it wasn’t going to be allowed for Harry to come. He didn’t get to speak to his grandmother before she passed. He was incredibly crushed about all of this.

Too many people with too much money would make sure their choice of politician would win the presidency, the Westminster policies based on the UK 🇬🇧 Laws work well in Australia 🇦🇺 and no sign of corruption in this way of government. 💯👍🦘🐨🦘🇦🇺

Watching from South Africa! I am a big fan of Palace Confidential. Wonderful interview... Jo is very good at this and Robert Hardman spoke so well.

[@psycharol]

No ma'am whenever Harry opens his mouth it is Megan that speaks!

[@ginawiggles918]

Fascinating interview. What a luxury to have a knowledgeable guest on for an extended amount of time. Jo is an excellent host and interviewer. Anyone starting out could learn a great deal by observing a professional such as Jo Elvin.

[@jameskeener7251]

Jo! Grand interview. You elicited fascinating, meaningful responses without getting in the way. Well done.

[@debbiecharron2767]

Harry didnt love his grandmother enough to see her before she passed so please leave the so called special relationship out of the conversation.

[@Celisar1]

Very true.

[@wills2408]

You're right

[@MKR5210]

Damn right. His "beloved" grandmother, who he needs to "be there to protect and support' 🤬

[@alleynadine3564]

That is not a true statement.

[@parkemessier6128]

I think for King Charles to be the ranger of Windsor Great Park is perfect. His knowledge of organic gardening and property maintenance is second to none I imagine, if what he's done to his property at Highgrove is any indication.

[@lizroberts1569]

I’m sure she hoped that he would reconsider his position, and come back into the fold it would have been so special for her, but sadly he just couldn’t be bothered to even engage or visit her when anyone with half a brain could see she was fragile. She’s gone now and a special kind of duty is over. Andrew will never return to any kind of duty. Harry unless he dumps his appalling wife and completely changes tack will remain persona non grata to his family & previous friends. I’d echo QE thank god Meghan didn’t come, at least she passed without having to suffer that indignity.

[@CK-wc8ow]

All this is speculation. Robert does not know what the Queen felt about Andrew or Harry, so I'm unsure how these people make these speculative statements

[@DE-xt7jv]

Think you might find he gets his information from her courtiers, with whom she was open in her opinions

[@reidx512]

I agree with you, as NO ONE knows how her Majesty felt about Harry. He was her grandson, and yes most of us in hindsight would have done better by her, However, we DO not know them . Watching that terrible Netflix adaptation is weird and does not make you a scholar about the Windsors. Sure things and she truths have leaked out, but we will never know for real. I know this will offend some of you, but yes she loved Harry and Andrew. They are her family, her offspring indeed she loved all of them.

Harry may very well be welcomed back into the FAMILY, but it won't be with his wife, and he'll never be trusted again, nor will he ever be given a public role in The FIRM. That ship has sailed

[@888meenbeeby]

[@judyo923]

It's interesting that Markle will be getting an award for standing up to "Structural Racism". Not once, in all her podcasts, not one word in all her interviews, nary a peep - about the Capital Flight of trillions of dollars from Africa. That's where the REAL racism is. But if she talked about that - first she would have to understand it, second she would have to chastise not only the governments of the U.K. but also the Netherlands, Switzerland and most of all the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. And third - she would have to share in the culpability. Because she was offered the chance to go to Africa for 5 years - she could have exposed the racism inherent in the Capital Flight of funds from Africa to the western financial bigwigs, she could have also called out the corrupt Africans who are making these deals with the West. She could have done all this - and improved the dealings between the Commonwealth and the U.K. using her platform as a part of the Royal Family. But instead - she makes up lies about certain people she's jealous of in the family and wants to create her own empire of cheap trinkets and cheap reality shows. For all of Markle's talk - she has no legs and can't walk. I am a progressive liberal Democrat who votes and a card-carrying NOW Feminist and I can see her for what she is - a lying, greedy, mean, narcissistic bully who is not very smart but thinks she should be president. She used the murders of 19 SCHOOLCHILDREN for her filthy PR. She is evil.

[@katiehill619]

I think if it was true that the Queen was hopeful of a reconciliation it was coming from a grandmother near the end of her life wanting to settle things. Harry's refusal to come see her at Balmoral would have put that optimism aside, I would think.

[@kadym4164]

Great interview Jo. Wonderful and insightful questions. And thanks for not dwelling on the US RF. 👍👏👏💕🌹

[@violetacalayan8410]

Great and wonderful that a monarch is emphatetic towards the number 2’s. At the same token, the monarch needs to be proactive when the number 2 is being abusive of the emphaty and goodwill being extended. Yes, monarch is head of the family, but the country and Commonwealth as well. Thanks, Jo. See you on Thursday. ❤💐

[@pattysands564]

Even if Harry wanted to get back to his family,they would not trust him. He’s turned on his family too many times

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Good interview, have ordered book. The chairs look so uncomfortable!

[@catco8644]

No matter how much the queen loves Harry, for the sake of Charles and William she should’ve removed the titles, since they were living in the United States and non-working Royals! It would’ve saved a lot of headache and heartache for the Monarchy!

[@delwynjenkins3581]

My understanding is that the Queen did not have the authority to strip Andrew of his Duke title and Charles does not have the authority to strip Harry of his. There are written laws between Monarchy and Government and apparently it is up to Parliament to take away titles

[@clareprichard9215]

The Queen made a big mistake, Harry was getting worse and more disrespectful every day. Now it's been left up to Charles to deal with him but he's too weak

[@denisecaringer4726]

Re: the understandable comments already written here, I don't think the Queen was off-base or delusional. She had reason to believe that her careful measured responses, her strong emotional relationship with her grandson, and her weight as The Queen could triumph, in the end, and help bring the family back together. It's a long shot, but had time not run out, she might have done it. Harry is the loser. The Monarchy goes on.

[@christinacasteel3198]

Who picked out the furniture for your new set? The kids from Sesame Street? You discuss serious topics ( most of the time) and you deserve to have adult furniture for your guests to sit on. You do everything so well. Insist that your set says you are the professionals that you are snd not the Teletubbies. From a loving fan ❤️

I was very surprised by the furniture as the scale of the furniture is too small for the set. Much preferred the previous seating. This is not progress.

These seats are much better than the dining chairs stolen from the office cafeteria that they used a few weeks ago when they first moved sets. 😁

Thankful to Jo for not making this interview a total Megs-up.💜 As an American, I'm still quite enamored with the Queen herself & have quite a bit of Harkle Fatigue. Speaking of though...is Sussex County now without royal representation? I admit I'm ignorant of how that works.

This guy is detached from reality. ''Andrew is a divisive character''. What. I don't think there's much polarity. The public is united on this one. And Harry was about to make it up with the royal family? What? She knew there was a series coming out, a book coming out, weekly podcasts taking a not-so-subtle swipe.........

[@peterlbaldwin511]

Ohne of the salient facts that seems to come tolight is just how rigourously structured the life of a British Monarch really is.. Despite all the pomp and opulence and despite the inherent power, even if unused, of the throne and the occupant. It almost seems as though they really have very little in the way of "personal freedom" in everyday life..

[@MKR5210]

And that's the deal, their enormous privilege is there to make up for their entire lives being dictated by their Royal duties. That's how you know Harry was duplicitous from the very beginning. He claims he has wanted out for years but Meghan comes along and they're both all in for being team players. Seriously if you'd been in that position, having supposedly been so very unhappy for years would you really want to drag the woman you love into that life?!!!! They wanted the money, the titles, the enormous privilege without the duty!!!!!

[@MsRebjo]

If the Queen actually thought that she was so wrong about the duo. Harry has got someone who doesn’t value family and it was inevitable that he too would be pulled away from family!
