00:00 Do you think Harry is a fool?
00:04 Yes, definitely. I can't believe he's done what he did, and especially to the Queen,
00:11 and she'd be turning him in the grave. I think, yeah, that's bad what he did.
00:16 Do you think Harry is a fool?
00:18 No, I don't. I love Harry. Really love him. No. I'm supposed to spoof. I love him. No.
00:24 I'm not going to criticise the Royal Family about their personal feuds,
00:28 because every family does have upsets and arguments,
00:32 so I think it would be unfair really to comment on the Royal Family on that issue, really.
00:37 Royal author Omid Scobie's new book, Endgame, claims the future of the British monarchy
00:42 is in a fight for survival, with the controversial new book reporting several scandalous allegations
00:47 about the Royal Family. Scobie claims the Princess of Wales ignored Meghan's cries for help
00:52 and can be cold, and alleges King Charles is still dealing with the fallout
00:57 from his inability to convene and command his own family,
01:00 in the wake of Harry and Meghan leaving their royal duties behind.
01:03 The King is even said to have called his youngest son a fool
01:07 after the airing of the couple's Netflix show. But what do you think?
01:10 Everything that they do is just for the public eye, and it's just boring.
01:14 It's just like, if you want to not be in the public eye, don't be in the public eye. Just go away.
01:18 I think they make a lot of money from the press, and just the drama of it, I think.
01:26 I think that's kind of the point, partly.
01:30 I'd like to think that the relationship between Prince Charles and Prince Harry is not damaged forever,
01:36 because family is so important, and that's all we have in life, family and friends, and a bit of love.
01:42 So I really hope they will mend it. However, I think Harry was unwise,
01:48 and nobody really likes to know all the dirt.
01:53 And I do think perhaps some of it was a bit exaggerated from his point of view.
01:57 I don't know that he's a fool. I just don't understand the way he is with his family.
02:06 I'm sure if they'd both stayed here, there's a lot they could have done,
02:09 a lot of causes that they could have done between him and Meghan, because they were quite popular.
02:13 And I think there's a lot of things that they could have helped the country with.
02:16 The King's the fool for even thinking about that.
02:20 Because when the Queen was still alive, she never did enough to the princes.
02:27 But because he's in charge now, he can say what he wants and do what he wants.
02:32 Well, I always found him pretty good, Harry. Now, with her, I'm not sure.
02:38 But for the royal family in general, I mean, they've always been the people that most British people look up to, you know.
02:47 So I think Harry has been very, very unwise is a good way of putting it.
02:51 Yeah, he's also very foolishly.
02:55 He's hopefully the family can be forgiven.
02:59 I think that is.
