Think of others instead of yourself, the Queen said this week. Yet in Los Angeles, his wise words pleading for altruism and humanity fell on deaf ears.
“My life will always be about public service,” the Duke of Sussex said in his first post-Megxit television interview, demonstrating rather that the service he has in mind is primarily in honor of himself.
Despite the bad timing, the pandemic, the ailing Duke of Edinburgh, and the dismay of the entire Windsor family appalled at his publicity stunts, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are moving forward with their offensive to raise the profile in America.
“My life will always be about public service,” the Duke of Sussex said in his first post-Megxit television interview, demonstrating rather that the service he has in mind is primarily in honor of himself.
Next week we can expect Oprah Winfrey to ask Meghan if she’s okay, on a CBS Primetime special that will be seen by millions.
This week we nibbled on an appetizer served by Harry, who appeared on The Late Late Show (also aired on CBS), hosted by his friend James Corden. The friends had tea and scones on an open-top tour bus touring Los Angeles.
On the upper deck, Corden served the kind of soft questions that were guaranteed to put a wave of non-raspberry delight deep in real ice cream. When did you know that Meghan was the one? How are you finding paternity? Why are you so damn fabulous and perfect in every way?
On the top deck, Corden served up the kind of soft questions that are guaranteed to put a raspberry-free ripple of delight deep in real ice cream.
Harry, beaming, said the Queen gave her son Archie a waffle maker for Christmas and that the family ate waffles every morning after Meghan made a ‘beautiful mix, kind of organic’. Of course it does.
Yeah, but what exactly do you have in those beautiful waffles, Harry? That was the question no one was asking, not even James, but the Prince went ahead anyway.
“I have them with a little yogurt, a little jam on top, a little berry maybe, a little honey maybe, a little syrup.”
Soon it was time to add some gravy, too, and the Prince returned to his favorite topic that the ‘toxic’ British media had affected his mental health so badly that he had to move to America and sign a deal with Netflix to recover. your balance.
And he had only done what any father and husband would have done, he claimed, that he seems to be living in a succession of enviable and luxurious mansions before buying his own.
Clearly, the Prince is much more comfortable with the kind of media coverage that only friends and wedding guests can provide.
Throughout the hilarious 17-minute clip, Corden appeared as a clingy lackey oozing servility and throbbing with the desire to make his royal guest look good, even if it meant whipping himself.
He even circled an assault course behind the Prince, in a segment designed to showcase Harry’s physical fitness and military training.
Clearly, the Prince is much more comfortable with the kind of media coverage that only friends and wedding guests can provide.
Whether climbing fences or climbing ropes, James was on guard and scraping like any good Tudor jester eager to keep his place at the royal court. “I beg you, welcome to this nice comedy, sir” – he almost said, before turning into a muddy pancake during the barbed wire crawl.
The Prince clearly enjoyed the kind of flattering treatment that would please even Kim Jong-un.
Yet it was lovely to see Harry looking so happy for once, his face a picture of sunburnt sincerity, his marmalade hair burning in the golden California morning.
There he is, this noble dandelion of good who has been brave enough to uproot himself from fate and replant himself in the rich marl of Hollywood, where he’s a fast learner.
There were at least three mentions of Netflix, which have paid Duke and Duchess millions for upcoming projects.
Harry even defended The Crown, the Netflix series that describes his family as little more than callous and heartless opportunists. Sometimes you can see their point. What else did we learn? She calls him Haz, he calls her Meg, Archie’s first word was ‘crocodile’.
There was no confirmation on who was in the room at the time, although my money is on David Foster, the alarmingly young-looking 71-year-old music mogul who is married to one of Meghan’s best friends and has become, according to she. , a ‘father figure’ for the Prince.
Meanwhile, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans for this historic appearance, Harry seemed to emphasize once again that he has descended from the damp ramparts of royal status to let some light into his life.
However, not even the newly created Duke of Haz-ard can leave behind the prestige of his past, which clings to him like the loop of smoke that emerges from an extinguished candle.
“ They know us royalty, we don’t carry cash, ” he said at the beginning of the interview, revealing that he is a man who still wants some jam on top and maybe some syrup as well.
