I watched as Meghan put on a brilliant acting performance as Harry stared daggers, royal expert says

what about Megan then so Harry has been back on his own several times with you know without Megan could there be a role back could there be a role for the Dutchess of Sussex or was too much happen I know you touch very heavily in cours about the bullying allegations um as I say there are new staff now there are long memories um could there be a way if if Harry did you know open up a little Avenue there could could could you ever see Megan coming back and wantan to do any Ro Duty I think it's Vanishing the unlikely I mean she's made it clear what she thinks of the institution uh she's not coming back she her focus is 100% on the United States uh and and that platform and what that gives her uh I just can't see it in any way whatsoever so when she was here when you were reporting on her before well before megit obviously um did she show do you think that she got stuck in gave it enough time showed a lot of interest in wanting to be a working Roy uh I think she got stuck in and what was amazing that um on the day that engagement was announced uh she gave that interview on television interview and um she was talking about wanting to take on Commonwealth roles so basically she she'd been well briefed and she was perfectly happy to spout her brief on air uh about you know about what this the future might be for her um and she did some very interesting things I mean she the enthusiasm with which she embraced the the the GRL Community Kitchen and and suggest to them they make a cookbook which was amazingly and of course flew off the shells all around the world um she she took she brought a lot of energy and Fresh Approach uh to the whole royal thing but I also know uh that you know for all this for all the great potential she showed that if you talk to people on the inside uh they believe rightly or wrongly but they believe that she was constantly constantly casting herself a victim saying you don't want me you you think I'm going to fail you think it's not you know I'm not welcome really um uh and it's as if they believe it's as if she was looking for a way out from the very beginning from the very beginning yeah interesting so what was she like to um you've been on tours with with Sussex as well um was there a change when um Harry and Megan started you know working and going on engagements together what what was she like what was Harry like when they were together well there there are two things I remember uh one from the Australian tour which is Australia New Zealand Fiji and Tonga and when we went to Fiji I believe it was there was a welcome ceremony which was if I'm being honest and I apologize to anyone from Fiji who's watching it was quite long and boring and then about a day or two later we went to a different part of Fiji and there was another welcome ceremony which involved him sitting on Two Thrones uh in front of a sort of uh invited audience and that was even longer and even more boring and Harry was hacked off with the Press he was annoyed with us for some reason there are many reasons but Harry might be annoyed with us and he spent the entire hour and a bit of this occasion just looking slightly over to one side where we were sitting we the media and just staring dagg daggers at us he was he couldn't hi like I said what I said earlier about this Harry has no filter he couldn't hide his Fury Megan was sitting built up upright in her uh in her throne uh on on stage and was kept a perfect Hollywood smile on throughout uh perfect posture throughout she was abely brilliant performance and I thought she is a real professional uh and the other thing was that in the South Africa to uh they did an interesting thing that that every day um they would give a little kind of sound bite to the TV cameras so the media would always have something interesting to report about what they had to say about what they were doing that day uh and we the newspapers kind of the poor cousins in this arrangement we weren't get anything we build we could feed off the crumbs from the TV appearance but you know we weren't getting our own little chat with Harry or Megan we okay and then towards the end of the tour um was agreed that Megan would talk to the newspaper reporters uh and it was agreed they they insisted it had to be me uh because they weren't going to have any of the nasty tabloid people who Megan as well as Harry absolutely hated so I was debuted to have this little two minute chat with her and it was kind of fascinating because it was on the day so only about four five six hours later they uh released the statement bombshell statement where they said uh that Megan was sing the mail on Sunday newspaper about what it published about her uh and also Harry released the statement attacking the Press particularly the Tablo press uh and it made front pages everywhere um and but you wouldn't have known that talk to Megan she was absolutely you know smiled nicely answered my questions I was allowed two questions but of course like all journalists you always ask a cheeky third question see if you can get away with it it was quite it was deliberately in was cheeky third question CU I knew that Harry was in a bad mood that day there had been a bit of altercation between him and a television reporter so I I kept it nice uh but she she answered my third question uh but while talking to her I just got the impression that she was focusing on a point about 12 Ines behind the back of my head she was just looking straight through me and once we over and she said bye and walked off I convinced if I bumped into her she wouldn't have known who I was I was just I was just nothing to her um it was a very weird experience um she was totally professional but no personal engagement whatsoever that's a real shame so should you concentrate on the rules that are here and working hly I think we think Harry and Megan that this idea of them coming back is probably a non-starter William uh big intervention this week um can you can you think of your time as as as being a ro Cor respondent has he spoken so openly about a controversial topic I mean he's touched on Gaza and some of the things he said um you know about I mean they're sensible things I suppose but about need to end the war um you know need to get humanitarian Aid is quite outspoken what do you think of his intervention but also how does this um statement come about he doesn't just sit in a darkened room on his own and draw this up and put it out there are machinations behind the scenes to actually make sure this statement is is agreed and accurate right what you have to understand about the royal family is that everything they say uh on on anything that has any political ramifications is passed by the government I've I've spoken to people in the royal family who when Royals make speeches on on on things which you wouldn't think are contentious at all they still get checked by the government Department if if it's Crossing that uh that area um so absolutely that would have been checked by you the foreign office by number 10 is AB been completely cleared um so William it was it was definitely outspoken by Royal standards uh but it was it was very even handed I'll come on to the even handed bit in a minute but um what you have to understand is William so William has has his hands tied in two ways his his hands tied by the fact it has to be checked by the government can't go against government policy and the other thing is he wants to be a unifying figure he doesn't want to be a divisive figure he doesn't want to pick one side or the other so CU once the RO family becomes divisive there's no point to them um so he doesn't want doesn't want to you offend either side and he did he did that he was very careful there's nothing in there you could if you if you really could PA it carefully you could but by talking about the way humanitarian assistance should get in as soon as possible you could interpret that as being critical of is because the allegation is that they're not letting in humanitarian assistance uh and there was u a leading article in the times um which said that by saying a cear uh it but not saying only after Hamas is defeated it's by implication you know siding with the Palestinians and Hamas rather than Israel I would disagree with that because the phrase he uses uh is um uh SE far as soon as possible or words to that effect and as soon as possible it's it's very vague that it's open to interpretation does as soon as possible mean as soon as possible once her mass is defeated or as soon as possible let's just do it now it's I I think that was a carefully crafted phrase so I think I don't think his statement offends anyone um and I don't think it gets into trouble there was some excitable headlines when it came out about how it might cause a rift with Israel I think that's just nonsense utter nonsense I mean Israel they I think they they're mildly miffed but no more than that uh and I read in one another newspaper a white r Source uh saying that this would add to momentum uh for the search for peace I think that is also complete nonsense
