Prince Harry says he wants all his familial strife to end. But this is just the beginning.
In what can only be described as a spectacularly dumb decision in a history of dumb decisions, Harry wailed his way through yet another self-pitying interview, this time with the BBC on Friday.
Upon losing a court battle in which the prodigal prince had demanded British taxpayer-funded security for any homeland visit, Harry — who, along with his unbearable wife Meghan, has been screaming ‘Privacy!’ since Megxit — launched himself in front of a global news audience and spoke for thirty minutes.
He initially told the BBC he would only give them ten. Very on-brand for a Sussex to say one thing and do another, is it not?
This interview is a doozy.
We begin with Harry, as ever (wink-wink), blaming other people for his own poor decision-making in bringing this case to a UK courtroom.
His loss, Harry said, ‘certainly has proven that there was no way to win this through the — through the courts. I wish someone had told me that beforehand.’
I’m willing to bet that no shortage of lawyers could have told Harry he wouldn’t win. But, obstinate as he is, would he have listened?
Prince Harry says he wants all his familial strife to end. But this is just the beginning.
‘The decision,’ he said, ‘has been a surprise, as well as not a surprise.’
God, is he thick – just as his sainted mother Princess Diana said.
Harry went on to declare how utterly unsafe it is for him to take his family back to the UK — even though Friday’s court ruling purely means state-funded protection will be granted on a case-by-case basis, as opposed to being automatic.
But no one, and I mean no one, is going to strip Harry of the only thing he has left. No, not his dignity — that vanished long ago, never to return — but his victimhood.
We have now entered a new stage of delusion in which Harry claims that, while no longer a working royal, he is the most important member of the Royal Family because — and he offers no solid proof of this — he is the most under threat.
From which forces or entities he will not specify, but Harry walked right up to saying that it’s the British Royal Family itself, insinuating that they wish him grave harm.
‘I’ve uncovered my worst fears,’ Harry said of the legal battle, before invoking his own mother’s death and declaring: ‘I don’t want history to repeat itself. Through the [court] process, I have discovered that some people want history to repeat itself.’
But despite suggesting that such dark forces are plotting against him, Harry said he has never once asked his father, the King, to intervene.
Huh? Either he’s in fear for his life, and the lives of his wife and small children, or he’s not. This would not be the kind of discussion one delays.
Here’s what Harry, in all his stupidity, seems to be telling us, in sum and substance: ‘Hey, everyone! I may be the spare, no longer a working royal, and estranged from my entire family and fellow countrymen — but when it comes to the need for security, I’M NUMBER ONE!! I WIN!!!’
If this were true, how could Meghan be gallivanting in her garden, flitting about on her cooking show, making the podcast rounds and saying that her life — and life with Harry — has never been better?
That she and Harry have never been happier? And, as she told podcast host Jamie Kern Lima last week, that they’re in a ‘honeymoon’ phase?
Now: Having lobbed an accusation far worse than specious claims of racism, Harry went on to say that his cancer-stricken father may not have long to live — true or not, a vile breach of King Charles’s privacy — and that all Harry wants is ‘reconciliation’.
Please. That’s the last thing, to my mind, that Harry wants.
Whether he’s aware of it or not, conflict with the Royal Family is the only thing keeping him and Meghan relevant.

Conflict is their raison d’etre. The bombshells won’t cease. The Palace must surely know that.
By the way, if Harry really believes that the royals are arrayed against him — just as Meghan claimed, in that Oprah sit-down, that royal life made her suicidal but she was denied help — why cling to the pompous titles?
By now attacking an ailing King Charles, these two are repeating themselves, continuing to inflict a very specific cruelty on their family.
Harry and Meghan’s racism claims — which Harry denied ever leveling while out promoting his memoir — were aired to a worldwide audience as 99-year-old Prince Philip lay on his deathbed.
In 2022, as Queen Elizabeth was dying from bone cancer, Harry and Meghan kept lobbing grenades.
Amongst them: Harry announced he was writing that tell-all memoir, and Meghan reasserted her claims of racism in a rage-filled interview with The Cut.
Three months after Queen Elizabeth died, Harry and Meghan’s first Netflix show aired, in which Meghan mocked the Queen with a deep curtsy and a smirk as Harry, that coward, merely looked on.
With this recent BBC interview, Harry is doing it all over again, this time to his father. If anyone’s bent on character assassination, it’s Harry and Meghan.
On Sunday, our duchess, taking a break from teaching us how to be kind and gracious, posted a black and white photo of Harry and their children walking away, their backs to the camera — a hardly subtle message to the King, who has no relationship with these grandchildren.
‘It’s a rather giant f*** you,’ one royal insider told the Daily Mail.
Indeed.
As the King fights cancer, as Prince William prepares for the potential of an earlier ascension as his own wife is in remission, Harry and Meghan go about making their family suffer.
Not once in this interview did Harry express any sympathy for his father’s condition, any acknowledgement of what he must be going through.
Instead, Harry took yet another opportunity to accuse the King of neglect.
‘There is a lot of control and ability in my father’s hands,’ Harry said. ‘Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him.’
It doesn’t get lower than that. And if Harry thinks he and Meghan can keep it up under King William — well, he’s even thicker than we think.
