I watched 60 Minutes. I got turned off by him. Poor me, poor me. Sad he lost his mother at a young age but it also happened to his brother. Also happened to others. Somehow by ripping up the family it will make him feel better. I think some of it is paranoia.
Ironic too because Anderson lost a parent at a young age.
He also lost a brother.
They should have discussed their lesbian ancestors who had an affair! That would have been more entertaining.
and dang-if you want to explore a horrific and screwed up childhood to get past anderson's mother gloria vanderbilt is a prime example. one of the most publicized and horrific child custody cases of that century and classic parental alienation syndrome before the term existed
I watched it, too. I figured I could tolerate it where he was alone. Was curious to see how he sounded these days, especially since I did not watch the Netflix series. I was surprised how short it was, and was also surprised when the segment about Hans Zimmer came on after a commercial. But you know what? The Zimmer segment gave me a whole different and better feeling than the first part of the show, which made me sort of cringe the whole time. I thought Anderson Cooper had a confused look on his face much of the time. I’d love to know his
real feelings about what Harry was saying. I don’t watch a lot of regular TV so this was all interesting.
I think the thing that’s come out at me most these last few days is how much Harry believes the British Press is responsible for creating problems in his life and how he says that his father, brother, step mother and who-knows-who-else controls the press and the “narrative” via “leaks”. I mean, he is completely obsessed with this notion! Whether it’s true and to what degree, we don’t really know. There’s probably little doubt some of it
is true. Yet, here he is, doing the exact thing he‘s complaining about! He’s picked sympathetic characters to interview him, which include his friends and wedding guests. They asked him a few tough questions but then mostly let him slide, from what I can see. The Irony of it all is truly amazing! And, once again, tone deaf, really. I’m beginning to agree with William’s assessment of him. His saying a lot of these things about his family this way is really surreal to me. And he totally believes he’s in the right.
My sympathies go to William right now. I imagine he’s going to be hyper-vigilant about trying not to ”scowl”, and although he’s seemed to come to a place of acceptance with his baldness, with Harry’s bringing it up in such a way, William will now probably be thinking about it again. These are all little mind games done deliberately by Harry to get to him because he feels so “slighted” in life.
Passive-aggressive. I really hope William lets it go as much as he can, but, with it coming your own brother and only sibling, it’s got to hurt. Over time, things like this can cause depression, too.
(My guess is it’s already an issue for William. Who wouldn’t be under these circumstances?)
Darn you, Harry. You have shown yourself now to not be a very nice person, and I am so disappointed in you.
You had the world by the hands and instead of using your platform for good, you’ve gone and shown the world beyond any doubt that you are petty, vindictive and mean-spirited to those who should mean the most to you. They’ll never be able to trust you again or really get over the hurt you’ve directed at them, yet you can’t see it. Very sad and ironic, indeed.
Last thought. Harry has already shown himself to be hypocritical with touting climate change yet flying all over the place in private jets. I think we can add to that the nitrous oxide story. Clean living, clean eating, yet illegally inhaling gas not meant for him, so much so that you didn’t leave any for your wife to use when she was supposed to have it during her moments of childbirth and then presenting the whole thing as funny? I did some research on that and we don’t see it much in the US, but in the UK and Europe it’s used more frequently. But one thing is for sure, the “partner” is not allowed to use it - it’s prescribed for
just the person in labor. How entitled of him to use it for himself to that degree during that time. He shouldn’t act like he doesn’t use his privilege to his advantage as much, if not more, than anyone else in the RF.
