That was the type of thing I mean't by 'filter'.
The other thing is he's throwing bombs and then having to backtrack.
In one breath Camilla is the 'villain' and the next he's saying he wasn't 'disparaging' about his stepmother.
Apparently there was no accusation of racism about their newborn on the Oprah show. It was an 'unconscious bias' by some individuals...something Harry himself was guilty of at times in his life. That's taken a bit of time to clarify...it was all the press's fault for misinterpreting it.
I have a bit of sympathy for him. He's had this conflicting life where he was torn between the strict Royal side of his family and the more unrestricted, albeit still aristocratic, influence of his mother's side of the family.
The truth is if he ever was suited for that Royal role, he no longer is.
If he wanted real change in the monarchy it would have been best to try and change it from the inside. He'll say he tried, but that type of thing is a lifelong battle. All he's doing from the outside is alienating a large section of British public opinion, and he's taken on the most unwisest task of all in challenging the british press.
His father is right.
It's a battle he can't and won't win.
The fightback from their point of view hasn't even begun.
Harry will say it reached the point where it was no longer possible to stay, but having left the family and country he's now gone full attack. That may gain him some sympathy in places like the USA, Canada and Australia. The rest of the world won't care (unless they're directly referenced e.g. Afghanistan). It won't be as popular in the UK.
Harry talks about 'his truth'. He knows the way the family works that they won't respond directly with 'their truth' (although some sources 'close to the palace' will no doubt throw a few grenades.)
That's the problem 'Harry's truth' + 'the family's truth' = 'the real truth'
We only have one side of the equation so we don't have the answer.
In any family relation there are always two sides of a story, two points of view, that may vary due to personal experiences and how they affected each individual.
Position in the family and memories of certain events can also make people see things very differently. I know through disagreements with my own family that recollection and reasons for events aren't always the same.
Harry's next move will be interesting.
Having put it all out there, if there is no response from the family (which seems likely) will he move on, or is there still more to come.
