Excellent talk. Very clever to note the pattern of 'set up the pain - lay the blame'. You are finding aspects of the Sussex's behaviour that most other commentators miss. I very much appreciate that you support your theories with credible evidence such as interviews and books and articles by reputable authors rather than resorting to unprovable rumours and tabloid fantasies.

Tom Bradby could have asked them why they accepted that Kennedy award for “exposing racism in the royal family”.

I loved the look on Tom's face when Harry made the claim about the British press. That was when Tom realised he was dealing with a crazy liar.

"They set up the pain then lay the blame' - spot on! Typical behavior of the narcissist! As a South African, I was gobsmacked at their victimhood using my country as a backdrop - all on the taxpayer's dime mind you!

I loved your observation that Meghan was "getting into character" before announcing, "No one asked how I'm doing," as if she were a poor orphan. The level of self-centeredness to say that in a place where there really are so many poor orphans is astounding.

To me Tom Bradby reacted to Harry's "no we never called my family racist" line with the same shock and confusion that anyone does when someone tells them an outrageous and unexpected lie. He really didn't think Harry would backtrack like that, particularly when its this very issue that has probably caused a large amount of the rift between them and the Royal Family. I agree that Tom didn't want to push Harry further on the topic because of the risk of him walking out of the interview, but think he was also having the dawning realisation that he was interviewing a man who has taken total leave of reality, responsibility and consequence. As they've been friends for a while this must have felt very sad for Tom, perhaps enough so that he was on autopilot the rest of the interview.

Tom Bradby's face was priceless when Harry denied that he and MEgain said the RF were "racists." 😂

When Harry shook his head 'no' in response to the racism statement, that was it for me. Those two had the whole world thinking and believing that the RF are racists. Even the sugars were angry at him.

As a Brit I interpreted Tom's reaction as 'Mate you really are an imbecile' and for the rest of the interview Tom was on auto pilot looking as if he was the one who wanted to flee. A bit of context H and Tom have been very good friends for years so it seemed to me that the scales fell from Tom's eyes

You mentioned the "palace leaks" that Harry refers to and gave the example of a leak which came from a member of Camilla's staff. Even though the staff member admitted to inadvertently leaking the information (and resigning for it) Harry actually wrote about this episode in his memoir and blamed it squarely on Camilla. He jumps to conclusions and doesn't bother with the facts.

They got a lot of flack in America for that cemetery photo op. That was an American veterans cemetery, and it was an American veterans' remembrance day. They had mourners and Americans there who were paying their respects moved out for that photo op. I think people were taken about. If they tried to do that now they'd get run out of the cemetery Two disgusting people

Tom Bradby's facial expression when Harry denied that they never claimed the RF were racists, it was priceless. I hadn't watched the whole SA piece, but I did notice her look of excitement/delight when she was standing with Harry, prior to the nobody asked interview, and it certainly didn't look like she was struggling. They both need to walk in the steps of those who are struggling. I'd like to see the UK journalist Nana Akua interview them, but they'd probably have to be tied to their chairs, or else they'd run! Thank you again for a telling piece of work, thoroughly enjoyable.

A few years ago I did a volunteer program in South Africa, one of the days we went to visit a school and on the way we drove past a bunch of basically tin sheds and the coordinator told us that's where the children live with their families. It definitely put things into perspective, so I just can't fathom how MM could be full of self pity while she was over there.

I see most people complaining that the interviewers never pushed Harry too much, and I agree. But wether or not it was on purpose, I feel like that was the best thing they could have done, because the whole drama revolves around M and H not being allowed to tell their side of things. Then let them speak, let them say everything they want, all of it, so that we really get a full picture of their delusion. If they had been challenged a lot on the interviews, they would still be going around saying they were being silenced and manipulated by the media. LET THEM SAY EVERYTHING THEY WANT, cause now we see, they said everything and now we can see who they are from their own mouths.

The look on Tom Bradby’s face when H said it was the British press that called his family racist, not MM, was priceless. Tom’s face to H’s remark looked like - Are you kidding me? What game are you playing with me? Tom’s eyes seemed to open very wide when H spoke about this claim on racism. H and MM know how to play a game when being interviewed. And when H talks about the Royal Family leaking and planting stories, I want to tell H to look in the mirror!

That was the moment she lost me. I couldn't believe she could dance in the townships with the most deprived women one day, and then give that little survive/thrive speech the next. Nearly everybody in South Africa is just surviving, and could only dream of achieving her wealth and privilege, but she chose that moment to say it wasn't enough for her.

What stuck out to me from the first Bradby interview is that Meghan doesn't actually say that NOBODY has asked if she's okay - she says that "not many people" have asked if she's okay. So then, a nonzero number of people have asked? Just not many? Not enough? How many is enough?

Who could forget the shocked look on Tom Bradby's face when the Brat denied the racist accusation? Glaringly obvious Bradby was dying to pursue it, but knew he had to give the Brat an easy ride & the Brat was talking over him anyway. He must've thought he'd put the racism accusation to bed & all would b resolved. Instead, it's bitten him in the bum. That accusation was out there for 2 yrs. After that denial, if anyone in the world still thought he wasn't a liar, they sure as hell know the truth now. Can't see Bradby returning any of his calls any time soon. His own reputation took a battering after that. They destroy everyone. They're like COVID. Don't stand too close or they could kill you.

I remember Diana’s interview vividly. Diana says that” no one ever asks if I’m alright”. As usual there’s never anything original from her. Diana even threw herself down stairs, when pregnant with Harry so, I’m sure that’s where she got the ‘suicide’ claim from as well. She obviously had studied Diana, very well !

Thank you for spotting patterns and illustrating their long game. I felt Tom Bradby was honestly shocked at the underlying viciousness of Harry's response. It probably was the first time Harry had dropped his mask in front of Tom. It seemed like you could see Tom suddenly putting all the pieces together and realizing he had been taken for a very long ride and used. I think Tom had felt he had a real mutual connection with Harry.

A quick reminder: Malignant narcissists don't do empathy. Great video. Thank you!

The comment “It is not enough to just survive, you have to thrive” came from Maya Angelou! I heard Maya use it in one of her interviews and immediately realized when Meghan quoted it!

Tom Bradby deserves to be frozen out by William. He did back the wrong horse. Now he has no access to the Palace.

I think the best bit of the Tom Bradby interview was his incredulity when H denied any racism. It was gold. Nobody could believe Hs answer and Tom showed that in his face. And, yes, H was so angry that he’d been asked that question (the audacity of it) I thought if Tom had pushed it any further H would have walked out, and possibly laid one on him as he left. Both H&M are so convinced by their own publicity and entitlement they feel they have every right to avoid any questions they don’t like. They feel they can make up anything (like the ‘fire’ in As room in SA) and make accusations against anybody who they think has wronged them. It’s this behaviour that makes them so disliked and I cannot understand those who support them, unless it’s because of their own agendas

Very insightful analysis. I think you're really onto something with them lovebombing their interviewers.

From one Aussie to another... I 🎉love your narrative... very Aussie.... straight to the point. It is so refreshing to hear commentary that is honest and not airy fairy.

Not once have either of them been pushed hard enough in any interview. The media walk around on eggshells with these two grifters. I did notice Harry was already in a mood and seemed very angry in that second interview.

Harry talks a lot about leaks, but actually gives few concrete examples where it happened and who was responsible thus just leaving a general tarnish on everyone without anyone being able to hold him to account

I also noticed the manipulation of the 'Are you OK?' in her op-ed. She seems incredibly manipulative in my opinion. So many 'threats' in the Cut interview as well. Tom Bradby should be ashamed of himself. I suspect he hasn't recovered since that interview since I haven't seen him since! I'm hoping her sister Samantha can get her into court. Would be a treat to see her answer questions under oath!

I’m American. I love your channel. You are exactly right in your analysis of those two. Complain of pain, then lay the blame. They are users and abusers. They infuriate me !

As an African (Kenyan) I was so shocked by the South Africa interview and that was when I officially disliked Harry and Meghan. Over the years, I’ve gone to many children’s homes, visited with struggling and sick families in my country and those visits always leave you with a sense of perspective. You realise just how blessed you are and how trivial some of our problems are, although real to us, you appreciate that things could be so much worse. Harry and Meghan had cars flown across continents for their comfort and security and they saw women struggling to feed and clothe their children, she visit a memorial of a young women who lost her life and they heard about the epidemic young women are facing in South Africa with violence and DV. So to hear, see and speak to some of these people then turn around and give a teary eyed interview about NOT MANY people asking if she was ok and say it’s not enough for to just ‘survive’ but one has to thrive, I was stunned. What shocked me even more was the outpouring of sympathy for them by the world, literal royals had hijacked an official visit meant to highlight charities and important causes for underprivileged people and made it about their problems and instead of being called out on it, she became the victim of that whole visit. I still struggle to wrap my head around it.

Absolutely 💯 % correct! especially the surviving/thriving bit. It incenses me when entitled rich people cry poor me about how hard life is, so disgusting 🤦🏼‍♀️🤨.

VERY interesting video! I also felt Tom Bradby had a tinge of regret. He realized he'd 'been played' as all the Harkle victims eventually realize. They are a vile duo and I thank you for bringing both a literary analysis and some psychological insight into your narrative. Your hard work is very much appreciated!!

That comment in the African interview by H., "I'm not gonna play the same game that killed my mum!" did it for me. What the hell was he talking about? The dead mummy card played again by a grown man. Total manipulation.

This infuriates me more and more at how totally unrealistic, self centred self absorbed poor me ,,she really is ,,I had 3 children under 5 ,,no nanny no grandma as my mum abandoned us as a child , I was married but we both worked ,,and I had to work nights and weekends until they were older ,,so to see somebody who had everything ON A PLATE Makes me want to take that plate and smash it , they have NO IDEA about the real world it makes my blood boil 😡😡😡😤, but I do love listening to you ,discuss things , it really is therapeutic to me ❤

These two will never face an interviewer who will ask them the awkward questions or call out their lies.

Well she couldn't have been too good an actor getting into "character" cause I could see right through it from the start!

Unfortunately I don't believe she miscarried. If I remember rightly a lot was being said on the topic of miscarriage in the media and she just jumped on the bandwagon. I don't believe there is any level that either will stoop to further their own cause and make money. Their hypocrisy is astounding and they should be thoroughly ashamed of how they have behaved towards both of their families. I love your channel by the way!

I went to Africa with a group and volunteered to help with eye clinics. The daily struggle that people had to feed their families was very humbling.

You are exceptionally privileged when you have food, housing, family, education, international travel, and have the time to sit back and ponder, is that all there is

Tom Bradby wanted to ask more. I agree that Harry would have walked out.

Watching him chuck a tantrum would be REAL tv! Mollycoddling the two of them has been the norm and gotten them sympathy they don't deserve!

Tom Bradby was friends with both brothers, so worth remembering he is a PERSONAL FRIEND. All interviews are pre-scripted and who has control of the final cut? is anyone's guess. Hardly pragmatic & proactive interviews. But even Bradby was wrong footed by SPARES reply! I think SPARE got the reply wrong & then had to go with it. ''My wife didn't say that''! actually she didn't - SHE IMPLIED IT - and he was using weasel words that BACKFIRED, leaving himself & Bradby - speechless. Harry's plagiarised words ''silence is betrayal'' indeed they are both grandparents went to their graves with their behaviour undoing all their lifetimes work.

Yes like you I saw the look on Tom Bradbury, s face and knew he was in shock that Harry had deceived him.

I came in time for last few minutes, dang it! Will have a listen again but I did hear you say Tom Bradby looked like he'd realised he had backed the wrong horse. I think you're right. He looked a bit dumbfounded to me, as if he couldn't believe his own ears. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. Hopefully the Duke of Hazard and his side kick will get the message and go quietly into retirement. Always love your bright and cheerful chats. Goodnight.

😅what I remember of the clips I saw, was the shock on Tom's face, almost as if to say 'what???' . Classic!!

Yes, I thought TB didn’t pursue the racism response because he thought Harry would blow up, and probably insult him. Friendship be dammed! The impression I got from that interview was that Harry believed he was doing Tom a favour.He was patronising and arrogant

It heart rending to see the poverty in parts of South Africa, they do so well bring up there children being bright and smart, and have nothing, but living in shacks around townships, and these townships go for miles 15 miles of them, and this was about 13 years ago, and very difficult to get your family up the next rung of the ladder. Commenting on the Palace briefing, several journalists have been asked if ever a Royal had done any briefings on things going on, and the journalists said it’s rubbish no Royal have ever done that.

Tom was pathetic. I wish he had 3:51 had the courage/integrity to challenge Harry. So what if he walked out? AIR IT! Let everyone see that Harry couldn’t take the heat… that he’s a petulant wuss. Surely SOMEONE has the journalistic integrity to call them out! Let’s see how they respond to UNSCRIPTED questions…

Often times when someone accuses you of something it’s because it’s a plausible action to them. I’ve been shocked in the past to have been accused of an action that was along the lines of ‘but why would I do that?! ‘. I was genuinely surprised. It turns out the person accusing me regularly did what she was accusing me of. So to her it was likely that I was as well. This was a huge lesson to me. If someone accuses you just take a moment to consider if they are revealing what they are capable of in that situation.

Your perspective is so refreshing - balanced, calm and straight forward, the snippets well researched. Yes, the look of shock on Tom Bradby's face at the interview was undeniable, so too the complete u-turn denial from Harry, his expression of sneering scorn for the Press. Having wealth, privilege and every possible advantage for an independent life of service was what they wanted, and in the beginning, we truly believed them. The saddest part - their potential to do so much good all lost to ego, vanity, greed, the unending chase for the A-lister fame. Aida, Singapore.

The look on Tom Brady’s face was classic when Harry made the denial. He was so stunned by Harry’s answer, as were the audience. It just reinforced that Harry & Meghan believe we are all so stupid.

Yes, I had the same feeling that something of a realisation swept across Tom Bradby's face. And he did hold back to keep Harry there. I wonder though, if interviewers stop holding back and take the risk of the interviewee to walk out, wouldn't it open the door for more people to push back on Harry? Wouldn't that close the door for people like Harry and Meghan to abuse the media for spreading "their" truth? I feel the fear from interviewers is gotten out of hand. Not just with Meghan and Harry, but with many public figures.

Agree completely with the interviewers getting nervous. Tom Bradby looked so uncomfortable, speechless, and yes, scared, when Harry denied the racism claims - not to mention the smirk on his face (I seriously would want to smack him)! Harry knew that question was coming and then gaslighted Tom - and the viewers. Tom has known Harry for a long time and I doubt he'll interview him again. Meghan prepares for everything, she's been doing this a long time. In the Netflix series they addressed any and all claims and then put a spin on it. Even going as far to imply that Meghan knew nothing about him or the RF because an interviewer gave her a quiz on the UK and she didn't get the answers correctly. Great analysis!

You are spot on. I actually felt rather sorry for Tom Bradbury when the realisation hit him. He realised he’d been set up good and proper and had foolishly alienated himself from the future King of England for the Ginger Whinger. Oh dear Tom what have you done !

The miscarriage story of which there have been 3 versions…..if someone suffers something so tragic there is only one version, it doesn’t need to be embellished or dramatised.

I have one question. Why didn’t Harry who had access to therapy didn’t get his wife access to therapy. He goes on and on about mental health but he couldn’t get his wife a therapist to help her in her emotional low key moments?

I holidayed in The Gambia once, the people were lovely but although intellectually I understood poverty in the third world nothing prepared me for the reality and the struggle for individuals to maintain an existence. It was truly shocking and I was torn between respect and pity for the people and the discomfort I felt at what I perceived as tourist "porn". Markle was disgusting in that interview. Self indulgent with her narcissism clearly on show. She is highly manipulative but has no true emotional intelligence.

Tom was close to both brothers. I remember him saying, after the S Africa interview that he had been genuinely concerned because Harry seemed different on that tour ( unfriendly and hostile to the royal reporters and photographers). William cut ties with Tom immediately after but I think it was the moment of denial in the second interview that Tom finally realised he’d been played.

Narcissists are not interested, nor do they care about anyone else’s struggles. They are only concerned for themselves.

Tom bradby should be asked was it worth it , loosing the friendship of the Future king , plus he will never get a royal interview ever again .

I detected a flash of concern on Harry's face when Tom Bradby brought up the accusation of racism. Harry replied that it was the British media who accused the royal family, then asked "did Meghan say.....". I think he was wondering ' what on earth has she said now?'

Can you imagine her NOT telling people how she felt, what she wanted, or needed? She who was never backward in coming forward. Her staff could corroborate that she made her feelings known regardless of how she came across. So, if she wasn't saying that she wasn't OK everyone could rightly conclude that she WAS OK.

I think she has such a knack of putting 'word salads' in everywhere, you find it really difficult to actually get an answer from her on anything. In speeches, in writing, she just goes on and on and you're like 'Get to the point' , maybe she will make a great politician after all (sadly)

The Remembrance Day photo was a real shock to me. Clearly manipulative, I remarked to my son (who is in PR), that their PR company obviously did not understand the Brits. That photo was appalling and all involved should be ashamed of themselves. However, there were many more of a similar nature to come! Thank you for your very astute analysis of the H&M adventures!

H was very aggressiv in his interview citing the interviewer not to ask questions that he disliked otherwise he’s impolite.

You are SO right about Meghan getting into character! I've noticed that, when she's making a point, or getting ready to tell a lie, she goes all actressy. One example was when she told Oprah about the royals' so-called remark about her baby's skin colour (ooee look at me, I'm so bitterly hurt, very nearly in tears). Another one was when she mimed that cruel curtsey. There are more...

Thank you as a Brit I really appreciate your commentary and views. No over the top analysis and drama. Always insightful and thoughtfully put together videos.

It was that interview that convinced me that Meghan was not the innocent,naive girl that she pretended to be,she was a totally different person

I am so glad you mentioned their tone deafness whilst in SA. A country plagued with so much poverty affecting the great majority of people and so many parents worrying about feeding and protecting their kids and there she was worrying about people not asking how they were. Clueless.

Good eye! I suspected she’s been getting into character for every interview

A gruelling work schedule?😅 The statistics showed that during her 10 minutes as a working royal she only managed to do 72 engagements or something like that and was basically at the bottom of the list as the laziest senior royal! But I guess if you're used to 1 hour a week schedule then anything more than that is gruelling. What a pathetic joke. Then she writes the op-ed plagiarizing a miscarriage story from another woman to counter the criticism she received from the SA ITV documentary, that's the only reason she conducted the fake story of a myth carriage. What kind of person does that? No shame, no empathy. It's appalling in my humble opinion.

My response to young people coming into my office and complaining about other people was..."Well, first, we're all just trying to get to the end of the day." Reminding them that everyone has imperfections, struggles, and bad days...then I really listened to the complaint.

You really hit the nail on the head, as we say in the States. I agree with you that S. Africa was not the place to take jabs & ask for sympathy. When people are trying to survive, it is a little disturbing that they are complaining about Frogmore Cottage not being big enough. I'm sure that lots of homeless families would be happy to live there. It just makes me sick. M's fragility? She is about as fragile as a semitruck. I loved your narrative! Keep it up! ✌️❤️🥺 from 🇺🇲

My elderly mum has just read Spare. There was a copy in the resident's lounge at their sheltered housing. She was incredulous! And she absolutely loves your analytical videos 😀. ❤️ from 🇬🇧 x

I am embarrassed to say now that I believed her back when I saw that snippet of the documentary. She was really good at looking so young and innocent there! Makes me sick to my stomach now that I know more. Thank you for sharing! I def need to watch her whole doc now! Another excellent, well thought out video. Thank you!!!

The look on Tom Bradbury face was brilliant I thought he looked as he was going to fall of the chair plus there was almost a fear this interview is going belly up it took a few seconds to get himself together and be able to continue it must have felt like a life time The arrogance of Harry and twisted smirk as if saying I have got him now At that moment I really disliked Harry he really showed what he’s made of

I agree with you on the Tom Brady moment. In my opinion he looked shocked and unsure of the best way to handle Harry’s accusations/denial. I am in the US and most of my friends feel like I do, that Harry is the ultimate man child or they just don’t care about them. Loving your videos. You have such a pleasant voice and a way with words. Would love to have you in my book club!

Tom should have pushed Harry more and made him accountable, so Harry could really expose his true character.

Really good insights here. I think it gets to the reality of her being a so-so actress, and Harry just too narcissistic to pull off the kind of empathy that might make them more relatable. As it is, they are pretty transparent and their pettiness and entitlement obvious. I'm 'of an age' where I recall many of the events that Harry was a child for - and the lies are stunningly apparent. Many of the actual royal reporters have walked through how they do their work, and Harry's paranoia about them is simply untrue. And like all these kind of people - they are actually the ones doing that which they accuse others of. And wouldn't dream of continuing an interview that wasn't going to serve their narrative. They don't want to avoid the media - they want to control them.

You are so right! That shocked paused and Bradby DID know he backed the wrong horse! Exactly my thinking! Bravo!

The Montecito duo are so quiet, That they never shut up 😜

I was very disappointed in Bradbury, he chose the wrong side, he deserves all he gets.

We always turn tom bradbury off on the tv after his interview and his betrayal to Williams frienship

I felt exactly like TB realized on camera for the world to see I've backed the wrong horse/Prince. Plainly written on his face. Love your refreshing attitude. Tired of Victimhood in all forms. It's pernicious, taking over the lives of those who preach it.

Very well perceived re M & H doing interviews. Tom Bradby was a family friend and went to both William and Harry’s weddings as a guest not reporter, his wife is a jewellery designer and has collaborated with Catherine in the past. For some unfathomable reason despite normally being known as an astute and well respected reporter he fell for H & M’s tales of woe. Sadly this has cost him his friendship with William & Catherine and I think now Bradby sees H & M for the duplicitous manipulators they are particularly when H backtracked on the racism claim - his face was a picture - the absolute realisation that he had been taken for a fool by H was written all over his face, poor guy.

It is not enough to just survive but thrive was taken from Maya Angelou! I heard Maya state this on a television interview!

I like your investigative critical thinking and the points you share, that other channels haven't ❤

Set up the pain - lay the blame: so succinctly put!!!! Thank you Shauna - your intelligence and humour are so refreshing!!!!

I am so glad I found you in my meanderings through KZfaq. It is fun to hear your evidence-based analysis and insightful observations of the Remarkable Harkles. They are a never-ending story that has taken us on an interesting chain of emotions. For me, it went from disbelief to disappointment, to anxiety for the RF, to hot anger, and now it is amusement just watching them maneuver as the RF, ever so deftly, controls the relationship with the subtleness of a dressage rider

Bradby was shocked at Harry gaslighting about the racist comment.

I thought he looked stunned when Prince Pothead walked back the racism claim against the RF. Thank you for your videos!!! Love them! Very enlightening!

Absolutely fascinating analysis once again! Tom Bradby did look utterly confounded in that moment when Harry gaslighted him, didn’t he? 😵‍💫 I’m sure it will be used to teach about gaslighting in the future. Love this channel! ❤

Up until the SA doco, I had some sympathy for MM, but the ‘nobody asked me if I am ok’ in a country where 5 minutes ago she was dancing with the poorest people, was the moment I saw through her.

I think that the interviewer should’ve pushed it until Harry got up and left. That really would have meant the end for Harry and Meghan’s charade, or it would’ve shown the full proof of their scam.

I agree with you on the fact that Harry and Meghan play up to the interviewers. I also felt that Tom Bradby not only was worried that Harry might get up and leave the interview, but that Harry was angry, which you could see on his face, and that he could possibly get up and strike him. And yes, I’m sure he feels he bet on the wrong horse!!!

Your analysis is spot on. I enjoy watching you because, as much as I totally dislike both H&M, I do appreciate reasoned commentary rather than just vitriol. That’s boring eventually. Keep up the good work.

As usual, your observations are very insightful and astute! You're brilliant ❤ and yes, the ITV interview was scripted and well rehearsed, she knew all the questions Bradby would ask her, that's how it works, and she had time to rehearse her tone deaf victim narrative. She can't help it, the lack of self-awareness and the tone deafness is always there, it's ingrained in the narcissist's psyche. It's creepy how similar to her Harry has become, his reactions, gestures, choice of words and lack of self-awareness is why I keep saying that he's like an extension of her. Edit: he's lost his own identity.😮

The look on Tom's face was pure disbelief that Harry could deny something so obviously said in public. He may have expected an argument about how or when it was said, but not to have it denied. They have a pattern, one of not taking any responsibility for ANYTHING that goes wrong.

Absolutely no one asked me today how I’m doing .
