I‘ve known Lady (Susan) Hussey since I was 18. She is a decent woman and certainly not a racist. She often asked my mother where she was from because she had a Central European accent. I am sometimes mistaken for non British because of my colouring. I’m never offended.
CBS’s Anderson Cooper asked Harry why he and Meghan don’t give up their titles and live privately? That did not go down well with the Duke of Sussex. “What difference would that make?” he snapped. It would, for a start, make him less of a hypocrite.
Interestingly, political memoirs all say that John Major had decided to resign if he got less than two thirds of the vote. Mrs May had fewer scruples, and Boris has never heard of the word.
Poor Susan Hussey is 83 and this must be the first time she has ever offended anyone. She is very kind and considerate and I feel sorry for her. Her main sin appears to be friendly curiosity. I have often asked people where their families have originally come from.
Harry is cruel and thoughtless to refer to Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as “spares.” Is he trying to create a false sense of inadequacy in younger William’s children? There are no “spares” in a loving family, only in Harry’s imagination.
Clarkson has been punished enough. If ITV drops him it will set a dangerous precedent, with Harry and Meghan able to pick off at will journalist they don’t like.
Nonsense that if Boris wins this vote, he’ll be safe for a year.
If Tory MPs vote for another No Confidence in 12 days, the 1922 Committee has to agree to one. Those are the rules.
Harry and Meghan, if someone issues an apology, the correct way to behave is to acknowledge it graciously, not rubbish the person more. No manners, the pair of them.
Boris will never resign. He thinks he has a God given right to rule in perpetuity. This is going to be long, drawn out and very bad for the Tory Party and the country. There will be no government, as every minute of the day will be devoted to saving Boris.
When Boris quit as Foreign Secretary, he refused to leave his grace and favour residence for months. I look forward to Boris‘s Downing Street Christmas party.
Knowing Susan Hussey, who was the Queen‘s chief Lady In Waiting, she will be devastated. The Palace should not have sacked her after decades of service. This will ruin her life.
Harry doesn’t even have the guts to do a proper TV interview. He’s chosen sycophants like
@tombradby
whose questions were submitted for approval in advance. That is not an interview or journalism in any form.
@tombradby
is a disgrace to his profession.
Ridiculous and inappropriate for Boris Johnson to be giving peerages to aides in their twenties, including Carrie’s friends. The House of Lords is not his personal house party.
William’s children really are none of Harry’s business. This is becoming a bit sinister and controlling. Harry is starting to sound like like the head of a cult, with his ravings about psychedelic drug therapy that he seems to want his whole family to have.
Detective Superintendent Rebecca Smith seems to be using Nicola Bulley’s disappearance as a excuse to showcase her toned physique. Who wears a sleeveless dress in February? To those who say, does it matter what people wear to work? Yes, it does, when they are police officers.
This new statement by Harry and Meghan is so deranged and sinister that I now feel sorry for Clarkson. Why DO they think they are? Today is Martin Luther King Day in the US. Meghan's never risked so much as a manicured toenail.
I do think Meghan’s recent absence from her husband’s side, as he made a fool of himself on US tv, was strategic. Brand Harry has been damaged. This mustn’t taint Brand Meghan.
I have to defend Prince William against the ignorant attacks of journalists who blame his “failure” to go to Australia for the Lionesses’s defeat. William cannot go to Australia before the King does. Charles is Australia’s monarch.
You might expect a reality TV star or a failing Hollywood actor to air all their dirty linen in a book, but not a member of the Royal Family. I’d die before writing such things about a sibling. Hasn’t Harry any pride at all?
I do not believe for a moment that Charles and William intend to hold a meeting with Radio Harry and Markle News. Within seconds, their “truth” about it would be leaked around the world.
As part of his contract, Harry has to write two more books. I doubt they will be cookery books, so I imagine we can expect more of the same. Heaven help us. He’ll drive us all mad.
It maybe that Harry and Meghan want their Duke and Duchess titles taken from them, because they would then become Prince and Princess. I have heard that Meghan was a bit miffed at becoming a mere duchess when she expected to be a princess.
One of the late Queen’s ladies in waiting told me that Harry’s behaviour had an adverse effect on her deteriorating health. It certainly didn’t make her last year on earth one of unadulterated joy. Does Harry never think of this?
Has Harry forgotten it was Diana who started having affairs? I don’t condemn her for that, but stop pretending she was a martyr and that Camilla was an evil home wrecker. Life is never black and white, but Harry allows for no nuances. He has the mindset of a typical paranoiac.
I don’t think this country will ever recover from Lockdown. I was speaking to a Minister last week about the terrible problems children now face as a result of being isolated. One day we will look back in horror at the insanity of it all.
The Lancashire Police have just clarified, saying Nicola Bulley had “issues with alcohol” brought on by the menopause. This is horrible, should not have been made public, and certainly doesn’t mean there was no one else involved. Police making excuses for their incompetence.
It transpires that my old friend Michael Gove was the driving force behind the 'rule of six' 'cancel Christmas' diktat. Yet, a few days ago his wife, Mail columnist Sarah Vine, wrote that we should ignore Covid and get on with our lives. Is something amiss in the Gove household?
Nobody has raised the damaging effect that Spare will have on Harry’s two children as they grow up. I accept the Duke is damaged himself, but why damage your own offspring? No child gets over a book like that.
God, they’re despicable. They promised to write nothing more about the Royal Family, so they’re getting a friend to do it instead!
Meghan’s author to reveal moments Royal family will be ‘ashamed of’ in new book
Had the Queen been still alive, Susan Hussey would not have lost her job. Both Charles and William are running scarred of the Sussex’s Netflix documentary.
Everything has its place. Monarchy happens to be rooted in tradition. It mustn’t modernize itself into a grey blob, or a branch of the Civil Service. We pay for history and spectacle.
I know that Harry is lying when he claims Camilla launched a press campaign to marry Charles and become Queen, because at this time I used to see Mark Bolland, Charles’s Deputy Private Secretary, who told me all she wanted to do was to keep out of the papers.
Harry‘s claims are becoming more and more poisonous and deranged. I’ve known Camilla since I was a teenager and she is the opposite of a “scheming villain”. And what an unchivalrous thing to say about your father’s wife. Harry is the one who needs to be making apologies.
My father was lucky enough to attend the late Queen’s Coronation in 1953. Guests were allowed to buy their chairs and the proceeds went towards funding the occasion. Below is my father’s chair and his invitation.
Quite apart from the fact that Harry speaks like a character in a Disney animation, has he no conception of the hurt Camilla will feel? Only men who are cowards and bullies pick on women, especially those who can’t fight back.
I would ask Harry why he refuses to take responsibility for one single thing in his entire life, and why he has written a book that he knows will cause his family unbelievable pain, in the knowledge that they can’t answer back? How is this “brave”? It’s like kicking a dog.
It’s odd that Harry constantly complains about the pain inflicted on him by others, yet is very happy to inflict the same pain on them. He seems to have little empathy or self knowledge.
Susan Hussey was very touched to be invited to walk with the King to church. I respect Charles for doing that, as well as his dignity in dealing with two troublesome close relatives,
Am I wrong to be angry that some public officials in this country are corrupt liars, and that the very people who should be protecting us are lining their own pockets?
I know Boris, and if he had to endure Lockdown as the public have to endure it, especially those of us who live alone, it would have ended in a week. He would have cracked like a egg.
When the activists chose Iain Duncan Smith over Ken Clarke they made one of the worst calls in political history. Duncan Smith didn’t last very long, either. I doubt Truss will last beyond the next General Election.
I now think Harry is despicable as he knows William and Charles can’t and won’t answer back. These attacks are those of a coward who knows his victims are helpless.
Incidentally, Harry says he spoke to his therapists constantly, yet he and Meghan have claimed the Duchess wasn’t allowed to see one. He contradicts his own narrative here. Before her divorce, Diana saw therapists all the time. A lot of royals do. There is no “ban” on therapy.
Anyone who suggests I had a relationship with Boris Johnson when his wife had cancer will be subjection to a defamation suit. Jeremy Vine has just won one against a Twitter user who made a false allegation against him. The user is now short of £1 K.
German intelligence agencies raided 54 properties across Germany in a crackdown on “anti-Israel” Islamism.
The German interior ministry banned the slogan “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free,” declaring it to implicitly support the destruction of the Israeli state.
I am told that the Coronation is going to be a cut price wash out that will not showcase Britain PLC. Huge mistake. Some things are worth spending money on, and national pride is at an all time low.
Harry, the rich exile, declares Britain and its Government has “hit rock bottom.” What an unbelievably stupid and arrogant thing to say. I never realised before how much he hates us.
The Times claims that Charles wants a reconciliation before the Coronation. All sides, says a source, need to admit they have made mistakes. While Charles and even William may make convessions, I can’t see Harry the Messiah admitting to anything, except being god.
I’m sickened by the way the elderly are treated. Get old, and unless you have money or influence, you are thrown out with the rubbish. When did we become so callous?
Now poor Camilla has got it in the neck. That was the line Harry was warned not to cross. I would hate it if my son wrote that he begged me not to marry someone on the grounds they could be an “evil stepmother” out of storybooks. This is so private and nasty it makes you cringe.

@danwootton
last night. Dan quite rightly furious that MPs are not only skipping the queue to see the Queen, but getting up to 4 tickets for their friends! They are public servants. They should queue like the rest of us!
Re Sturgeon and gender, 16 year olds are not adults, however intelligent they might seem. At 16, I was intellectually over developed, but emotionally under developed. Sensible long term decisions about life were beyond me. I could speak Latin, but I was still a child.
Moreover, the idea that William and Kate “forced “ Harry to wear a Nazi uniform to a fancy dress party is laughable. It was entirely his idea. He and his mates thought that kind of thing hilarious. Harry has been guilty of a racist “joke” or two in his time.
Just when you thought ….Harry and Meghan’s new and sinister statement about Clarkson is more than beyond the pale. Who do they think they are? Today is Martin Luther King Day in the US. Meghan has never risked so much as a manicured toenail.
Perhaps therapy has led Harry to believe his is helping his family by telling them how awful they are? Therapy can result in breathtaking arrogance and smugness, as with some alcoholics who become teetotal, and then demand all their friends give up alcohol as well.
Harry and Meghan have vowed that their “war against oppression” has only just begun. Odd how they never take their “war” to real dictators and oppressors, but target people who can’t fight back. It used to be called cowardice, but then they are the world’s most cowardly couple.
What are Harry and Meghan going to do with the rest of their lives? They’ve done Oprah, Netflix and now the book. When are they going to get proper jobs?
My poor mother has Dementia and symptoms include paranoia. She rang the police and told them I was a well known murderer. Next thing I knew there were 3 police officers who handcuffed me, kicked me, wouldn’t listen to a word I said and locked me in a cell for 7 hours.
A contact of mine at Netflix says Meghan was a nightmare to work with on this docuseries. She was rude to staff and kept changing her mind about everything. I was also told she was so vain, she would only be shot from certain facial angles.
Harry is determined to prove the paparazzi killed his mother, and is turning a minor incident into a catastrophe. If we are going to be even more cynical, he has a court case over here and has always wanted us to foot the bill for his security.
The people who rightly defended Huw Edwards are now intent on inflicting the same witch hunt on Dan Wootton. Sorry. It’s not a chocolate box. You cannot pick and choose whose rights you are going to defend based on whether you agree with them or not.
@amandajplatell
Amanda, it’s well documented that Huw Edwards has suffered from clinical depression for years. He is not pulling a stunt. His life is ruined. I’d be broken, too.
@oldishbird1
I don’t think SHE helps the cause of women by leaking personal, highly sensitive and irrelevant information about Ms Bulley, and looking like a show pony. It’s a cocktail dress not an office dress. I have office dresses and they all have sleeves, even if they’re cap sleeves.
